Oil price shocks are the major source of economic instability in oil exporting developing countries, including Iran. In this paper a Multi Sector Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model, with emphasis on optimization of oil sector as a producing sector is designed. Furthermore, an optimizing import sector is introduced into the model by considering the price rigidity in imported goods as a...

gas compressibility factor (z-factor) is an important parameter widely applied in petroleum and chemical engineering. experimental measurements, equations of state (eoss) and empirical correlations are the most common sources in z-factor calculations. however, these methods have serious limitations such as being time-consuming as well as those from a computational point of view, like instabilit...

Cholesterol plays a vital role in human body. Its unbalanced homeostasis, however, leads to health related problems. The elevated blood cholesterol levels are now considered a classic coronary risk factor and are suspected to lead to coronary artery diseases, causing 2.6 millions of deaths each year. Here, we develop a two-compartment mathematical model to investigate cholesterol transport in t...

This paper addresses the issue of modeling and verification of a Multi Agent System (MAS) scenario. We have considered an agent based adaptive traffic signal system. The system monitors the smooth flow of traffic at intersection of two road segment. After describing how the adaptive traffic signal system can efficiently be used and showing its advantages over traffic signals with predetermined ...

In this paper we describe a novel concept for reliability analysis of communication architectures in safety-critical systems. This concept has been motivated by applications in the railway control systems domain, where transitions into stable safe state are usually considered as undesired events because they cause a severe deterioration of the service reliability expected by end users. We intro...

If computational tractability were not an issue, multi-object estimation should integrate all measurements from multiple sensors across scans. In this article, we propose efficient numerical solution to the multi-scan multi-sensor problem by computing (labeled) posterior density.

this paper addresses a multi-criteria decision based methodology to develop a road network cost function for route finding analysis in a geographic information system (gis). over the years, several studies relating to route planning process in gis and intelligent transportation systems (its) have been conducted, most of which rely on the use of one-dimensional variables like distance or time as...
