abstract evapotranspiration as one of the most important components of the hydrologic cycle, plays a key role in water resources management, crop yield simulation and irrigation scheduling. therefore, presenting a low cost and precision model is very essential for calculations of hourly eto. although, there are empirical formulas, their performances are not all satisfactory due to the complicat...

BACKGROUND Parameter optimization in the process of inverse treatment planning for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is mainly conducted by human planners in order to create a plan with the desired dose distribution. To automate this tedious process, an artificial intelligence (AI) guided system was developed and examined. METHODS The AI system can automatically accomplish the opti...

Introduction There are many heterogeneities among preexisting informations sources, such as DataBases (DBs), particularly semantic heterogeneities (see our chapter “Semantic Heterogeneity” in [1]). Any secure Federated Information Systems (FIS) must solve them, and deal with a): how schema levels are related to security, and b): operations on schemas to convert from level to level. We present t...

Edges detection in digital images is a problem that has been solved by means of the application of different techniques from digital signal processing, also the combination of some of these techniques with Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) has been experienced. In this work a new FIS Type-2 method is implemented for the detection of edges and the results of three different techniques for the same in...

This paper discussed the role of actors in creating their own sensemaking devices as Feral Information Systems. In particular, we explore how Feral Information Systems (FIS) are actually a creative way to work around complex information systems and need to be acknowledged as such. We use the sensemaking framework to explore how new FIS are developed as a sensemaking device in order assist in da...

Purpose The objectives of this paper are two-fold: first, to empirically compare and contrast the salient features three financial instruments (FIs), namely sustainable responsible investment (SRI) ṣukūk , social impact bonds (SIBs) conventional (CBs) second, examine differences between perceptions investors developers on FIs. Design/methodology/approach Using a questionnaire survey, 251 comple...

gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is a kind of diabetes that requires persistent medical care in patient self management education to prevent acute complications. one of the common and main problems in diagnosis of the diabetes is the weakness in its initial stages of the illness. this paper intends to propose an expert system in order to diagnose the risk of gdm by using fis model. the knowl...

− In this paper a development of an adaptive Kalman filter through a fuzzy inference system (FIS) is outlined. The adaptation is concerned with the imposition of conditions under which the filter measurement noise covariance matrix R or the process noise covariance matrix Q are estimated. The adaptive adjustment is carried out using a FIS based on the whiteness of the filter innovation sequence...
