this paper presents a new hybrid particle swarm optimization with time varying acceleration coefficients (hpsotvac) and bacteria foraging algorithm (bfa) namely (psotvac/bfa) base fuzzy stochastic long term approach for determining optimum location and size of distributed energy resources (ders). the monte carlo simulation method is used to model the uncertainties associated with long-term load...

in this paper, a new method is investigated for model order reduction of high order systems based on moment matching technique. in this method, at first, full order model is expanded by legendre wavelet function which is included in orthogonal functions. a suitable fixed structure model is considered as reduced order model whose parameters are unknown. these unknown parameters are determined us...

A novel frequency-domain technique for image blocking artifact detection and reduction is presented in this paper. The algorithm first detects the regions of the image which present visible blocking artifacts. This detection is performed in the frequency domain and uses the estimated relative quantization error calculated when the discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients are modeled by a La...

desertification relates to the both the process and end state of drylands degradation. salinization and alkalinization are two indicators of soil degradation in arid and semi-arid regions. the main objectives of this research is monitoring of soil salinity using high spectral and spatial resolution of remote sensing to assess desertification in the marvast plain, yazd province. two images of te...

one of the indicators of management and sustainability control of forest resources is the definition deforestation and degradation types. these factors hazard quantitative and qualitative of the iranian forests. in this study with integrated approach, different forms of forest degradation identified in the forest areas with a reviews of library resources and then investigation the degree of sta...

Many important problems in engineering and science are well-modeled by Poisson processes. A common technique for noise reduction is to use a filter. Wiener filter, which utilizes the second-order statistics of the Fourier decomposition, and the median filter which is based on the theory of order statistion, are normally used to denoise degraded images. Wavelet-based methods are powerful tools f...

limited water for irrigation and the coincidence of early growth of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) with the late growth of winter cereals in the northeast (ne) of iran, force farmers, to allocate their limited irrigation water to the cereal crops and thus their sugar beet crop is subjected to an early water stress. finding cultivars which are able to withstand early water stress without a si...
