this paper considers the multi-depot vehicle routing problem with time window in which each vehicle starts from a depot and there is no need to return to its primary depot after serving customers. the mathematical model which is developed by new approach aims to minimizing the transportation cost including the travelled distance, the latest and the earliest arrival time penalties. furthermore, ...

In order to reduce the time for customers select commodities they are interested in, improve purchase efficiency, success rate of sales merchants, and create greater economic benefits enterprises this project collects information data e-commerce users, using neural network model analyze mine characteristics shopping records users. According analysis results, a user commodity recommendation syst...

The late detection of the kick (the entrance of underground fluids into oil wells) leads to oil well blowouts. It causes human life loss and imposes a great deal of expenses on the petroleum industry. This paper presents the application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system designed for an earlier kick detection using measurable drilling parameters. In order to generate the initial fuzzy inf...

Abstract The priori knowledge of the radar can not be used by the traditional fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm, which leads a poor accuracy of the data association. An improved fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is proposed in this paper. The real-time change rate of the track slope of moving targets measured by radar is used to update the weight. Then the objective function of fuzzy C-means ...

This paper presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for USD/JPY exchange rates forecasting. Previous work often used time series techniques and neural networks (NN). ANFIS can be used to better explain solutions to users than completely black-box models, such as NN. The proposed neurofuzzy rule based system applies some technical and fundamental indexes as input variables. In o...

Curvelet transform is a multidirectional multiscale transform that enables sparse representations for signals. Curvelet-based feature extraction for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) naturally enables utilizing spatial locality; the use of curvelet-based feature extraction is a novel method for SAR clustering. The implemented method is based on curvelet subband Gaussian distribution parameter esti...
