Use of Pollen Concentration in Paleopharmacology: Coprolite Evidence of Medicinal Plants

A multi agent method for cell formation with uncertain situation, based on information theory

This paper assumes the cell formation problem as a distributed decision network. It proposes an approach based on application and extension of information theory concepts, in order to analyze informational complexity in an agent- based system, due to interdependence between agents. Based on this approach, new quantitative concepts and definitions are proposed in order to measure the amount of t...

Application of the Bankruptcy Theory and Conflicting Claims on Water Resources Allocation of Zayanderud

Solving the Water conflict and optimal allocation of common water resources are the most important service of cooperative game theory to water economics. Zayandehrud basin is the most important disputed basin in several neighboring provinces in the first class basin of Iran's central plateau. The purpose of this research is to use the game theory with application of Bankruptcy approach (conflic...

Application of Grey System Theory in Rainfall Estimation

Considering the fact that Iran is situated in an arid and semi-arid region, rainfall prediction for the management of water resources is very important and necessary. Researchers have proposed various prediction methods that have been utilized in such areas as water and meteorology, especially water resources management. The present study aimed at predicting rainfall amounts using Grey Predicti...

Application of Chaos Theory in Hazardous Material Transportation

Risk factors are generally defined and assigned to road networks, as constant measures in hazmat routing problems. In fact, they may be dynamic variables depending on traffic volume, weather and road condition, and drivers' behavior. In this research work, risk factors are defined as dynamic variables using the concept of chaos theory. The largest Lyapunov exponent is utilized to determine the ...
