This paper attempts to define a name for an area of science and technology that encompasses the acquisition, processing application spatial data in mining industry. A comparative study evolution exchange methods between Geographic Information Systems (GISs) General Mining Planning (GMP) software is carried out problem it. Subsequent modifications acronym GIS towards specialisation its are then ...

background: data mining (dm) is an approach used in extracting valuable information from environmental processes. this research depicts a dm approach used in extracting some information from influent and effluent wastewater characteristic data of a waste stabilization pond (wsp) in birjand, a city in eastern iran. methods: multiple regression (mr) and neural network (nn) models were examined us...

fuzzy rule-based classification system (frbcs) is a popular machine learning technique for classification purposes. one of the major issues when applying it on imbalanced data sets is its biased to the majority class, such that, it performs poorly in respect to the minority class. however many cases the minority classes are more important than the majority ones. in this paper, we have extended ...

background the presence of an infected family member significantly increases the risk of hbv transmission, but many socio-demographic and viral characteristics of family members affect the transmission rate. objectives in this study, we have used data mining techniques to investigate the impact of different variables in intrafamilial transmission of hbv infection. patients and methods demograph...

urban sinks accumulate phosphorus and other elements and may serve as sources of secondaryraw materials. this paper evaluates phosphorus sources based on their environmental impact. in a life cycleassessment (lca) the conventional production was used as a yardstick against which tomeasure the performanceof two recycling options: spreading of sewage sludge and phosphorus recovery from municipal ...

the mandovi estuary is highly influenced by mining and tourism related activities in the centralwest coast of india. vertical fluxes and accumulation of petroleum hydrocarbons (phcs) in three sedimentcores (d1, c1 and og) from the mandovi estuary were assessed using ultra-violet fluorescence (uvf)spectroscopy. the range of phcs values in estuarine sediments varied from 5.4 to 12.34 μg/g enrichm...

expert discovery is a quest in search of finding an answer to a question: “who is the best expert of a specific subject in a particular domain within peculiar array of parameters?” expert with domain knowledge in any field is crucial for consulting in industry, academia and scientific community. aim of this study is to address the issues for expert-finding task in real-world community. collabor...

often in modeling the engineering optimization design problems, the value of objective function(s) is not clearly defined in terms of design variables. instead it is obtained by some numerical analysis such as fe structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, and thermodynamic analysis, etc. yet, the numerical analyses are considerably time consuming to obtain the final value of objective functi...
