The quality of manufactured products is characterized by many controllable quality factors. These factors should be optimized to reach high quality products. In this paper we try to find the controllable factor’s levels with minimum deviation from their target and with a least variation. To solve such problems a simple aggregation function is used to aggregate the multiple response functions fo...

high blood pressure control (hbpc) is a common goal of who and the world hypertension league (whl). the two important strategies in hbpc are identifying cardiovascular (cvd) risk factors and planning to modify controllable factors. this study was accomplished to determine the cvd risk factors in high blood pressure (hbp) patients of the rural population, residing in the babol region, north of i...

This paper dedicates to exploring and exploiting the hidden resource in wireless channel. We discover that the stochastic dependence in wireless channel capacity is a hidden resource, specifically, if the wireless channel capacity bears negative dependence, the wireless channel attains a better performance with a smaller capacity. We find that the dependence in wireless channel is determined by...

When presented with an unknown robot (subject) how can an autonomous agent (learner) figure out what this new robot can do? The subject’s appearance can provide cues to its physical as well as cognitive capabilities. Seeing a humanoid can make one wonder if it can kick balls, climb stairs or recognize faces. What if the learner can request the subject to perform these tasks? We present an appro...

Despite of abundant studies, little is known about controllable variables of flaming. In order to address this challenge, this study explores flaming mechanism in terms of three perception factors (perceived risk, anonymity and expected emotional reaction) and finds a controllable variable which moderates that mechanism. The findings of this study are referred that public self-awareness, percei...

In this paper, first a new algorithm for pole assignment of closed-loop multi-variable controllable systems in a prescribed region of the z-plane is presented. Then, robust state feedback controllers are designed by implementing a neural fuzzy system for the placement of closed-loop poles of a controllable system in a prescribed region in the left-hand side of z-plane. A new method based on the...
