introduction according to the shortage of water resources in the world, it seems necessary the use of refined water, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas such as iran. the correct treatment, management and the control of refining process needs to investigate effective parameters in this process precisely. therefore, because of the uncertainty and complexity in refining qualitative parameter...

In this paper, we propose a novel balanced scorecard design based on fuzzy analytic network process and then conduct performance evaluation through a case study. After analyzing the related works about balanced scorecard design and the algorithm of fuzzy analytic network process, we illustrate the improved balanced scorecard design. Firstly, the basic concepts for the balanced scorecards are in...

1 ABSTRACT This paper proposed a face recognition technique using evolutionary fuzzy clustering and parallel neural networks. Evolutionary fuzzy clustering is used for optimal distribution of images into the corresponding clusters which are generated through fuzzy clustering. Parallel neural network is used for training and recognition process is done based on the outcome of the parallel neural...

According to complicated fault characteristic of rotating machinery, its fault diagnosis based on wavelet fuzzy neural network (WFNN) which combines wavelet packet analysis and fuzzy neural network is put forward. By using it, the fuzzy fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is realized. All the arithmetic process of WFNN is realized through the computer. The results of simulation and test indic...

introduction: agriculture is one of the main uses of the land. using agriculture to increase production is always with acidification and loss of groundwater reserves. therefore, with proper planning for use of agricultural land so that to leave the least negative impacts on the soil and water pollution, it is regarded imperative for sustainable development. this study is aimed to better underst...

in this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. in other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. first, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (tfn). this paper com...
