In this study, the process-based watershed model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), was used for simulating hydrology and sediment transport in the Gharesou watershed and for identifying critical areas of soil erosion and water pollution. After model calibration and uncertainty analysis using SUFI-2 (Sequential Uncertainty Fitting, ver. 2) method, the outputs of the calibrated model were u...

Background: The purpose of this study is to prevent the prevalence of infectious diseases in vulnerable groups by anticipating the role of actors in implementing decision-making models in conditions of uncertainty in medical universities. Methods: This research is an applied research by combining qualitative and quantitative methods based on the foundation data theory (Grand Theory). To determ...

reliable estimates of runoff are required as a part of the information sets that help watershed managers make informed decisions on water resources planning and management. this study was carried out in shafaroud watershed located in the north of iran. in order to achieve the best runoff simulation in the study area, first rainfall data of four stations during 1998 to 2011 were collected and co...

Making capital and investment is the main driving forces of economic development. Based on the investment sensitivity to the changes of some of macro-economic variables and risk and uncertainty, the present study evaluated the effective factors on investment in private sector in Iran during 1980-2007. At first, the uncertainty variables of real informal exchange rate, nominal interest rate and ...

  Uncertainty plays a major role in any project evaluation and management process. One of the trickiest parts of any production project work is its cost and time forecasting. Since in the initial phases of production projects uncertainty is at its highest level, a reliable method of project scheduling and cash flow generation is vital to help the managers reach successful implementation of the ...

In this paper‎, ‎a synthesis method based on robust model predictive control is developed for compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with bounded disturbance‎. ‎The proposed method uses linear matrix inequalities and uncertainty polytope to model uncertain time-delays and system disturbances‎. ‎The continuous system with time-delay is discretized using uncertainty po...
