In this paper, we study N-policy for a finite population Bernoulli feedback queueing model for machine repair problem with degraded failure. The running times of the machines between breakdowns have an exponential distribution. The repair times of the machines are independent and identically distributed random variables. If at any time a machine fails, it is sent to the repairman for repairing,...

Fault diagnosis has always been an essential aspect of control system design. This is necessary due to the growing demand for increased performance and safety of industrial systems is discussed. Support vector machine classifier is a new technique based on statistical learning theory and is designed to reduce structural bias. Support vector machine classification in many applications in v...

In this work, a Genetic Algorithm boosted Least Square Support Vector Machine model by a set of linear equations instead of a quadratic program, which is improved version of Support Vector Machine model, was used for estimation of 98 pure compounds second virial coefficient. Compounds were classified to the different groups. Finest parameters were obtained by Genetic Algorithm method ...

during the last years the total cost of lng technology has decreased significantly due to improvements of the liquefaction process. however, many liquefaction plants that are still in operation use a three-cascade refrigeration system. in this paper, an advanced exergetic analysis is applied to better understand the operation of a three-cascade refrigeration system for liquefaction of natural g...

migration of virtual machine (vm) is a critical challenge in cloud computing. the process to move vms or applications from one physical machine (pm) to another is known as vm migration. in vm migration several issues should be considered. one of the major issues in vm migration problem is selecting an appropriate pm as a destination for a migrating vm. to face this issue, several approaches are...

in this paper, a robust integral of the sign error (rise) feedback controller is designed for a rigid-link electrically driven (rled) robot manipulator actuated by direct current dc motor in presence of parametric uncertainties and additive disturbances. rise feedback with implicitly learning capability is a continuous control method based on the lyapunov stability analysis to compensate an add...

support vector machine (svm) was used to analyze the occurrence of roach in flemish stream basins (belgium). several habitat and physico?chemical variables were used as inputs for the model development. the biotic variable merely consisted of abundance data which was used for predicting presence/absence of roach. genetic algorithm (ga) was combined with svm in order to select the most important...

clogging occurs during mechanical tunneling with a tunnel boring machine (tbm) because of adhesion of clayey soils to the cutterhead and conveyor system. the present study examined the effects of water and sand contents on clogging in montmorillonite clayeysoil. testing was carried out using an adhesion test device on 28 samples with different water and sand contents to determine adhesionstress...
