Identification of Key Factors Influencing Tourism Development with Foresight Approach (Case study: Yazd province)

The present study, with a futuristic approach, identifies the most important factors affecting the future status of sustainable tourism in Yazd province and examines the extent and manner of these factors on each other. This research was applied in terms of its purpose and in terms of a combination of documentary and survey methods, and in terms of its nature, based on new methods of futuristic...

Optimal Allocation of Distributed Generation in Microgrid by Considering Load Modeling

Recent increment in carbon emission due to the dependency on fossil fuels in power generation sector is a critical issue in the last decade. The motivation to Distributed Generation (DG) in order to catch low carbon networks is rising. This research seeks to experience DG existence in local energy servicing in microgrid structure. Optimal sizing and placement of DG units is followed by this pap...

Optimal Planning for Water Resources Allocation (Case study: Hableh Roud Basin, Iran)

The world is facing severe challenges in meeting the rapidly growing demand for water resources. In addition,irrigation water which is the largest use of water in most developing countries and arid and semi arid regions, will likelyhave to be diverted increasingly to meet the needs of the households in urban areas and industry sectors whilst remaining aprime engine of agricultural growth. A Lin...

Redundancy allocation problem for k-out-of-n systems with a choice of redundancy strategies

To increase the reliability of a specific system, using redundant components is a common method which is called redundancy allocation problem (RAP). Some of the RAP studies have focused on k-out-of-n systems. However, all of these studies assumed predetermined active or standby strategies for each subsystem. In this paper, for the first time, we propose a k-out-of-<em...
