interest rate ad valorem tariffs are considered as the most prominent trade tools extensively used in the framework of spatial equilibrium models (sems) to analyze agricultural and food trade policies around the world. however the results obtained from such models have been criticized because of their inadequacy in producing any observed data within the base period. hence a positive spatial and...

the present paper deals with development of a simulation model for the performance evaluation of feed water system of a thermal power plant using markov birth-death process and probabilistic approach. in present paper, the feed water system consists of four subsystems. after drawing transition diagram for feed water system, differential equations are developed and then solved recursively using ...

in this study, detection and identification of common faults in industrial gas turbines is investigated. we propose a model-based robust fault detection(fd) method based on multiple models. for residual generation a bank of local linear neuro-fuzzy (llnf) models is used. moreover, in fault detection step, a passive approach based on adaptive threshold is employed. to achieve this purpose, the a...

introduction: peripheral nerve injury leads to neuropathic pain syndromes and different sensation like allodynia and hyperalgesia. different animal models of neuropathic pain are used to study the neuropathic pain mechanisms. the present study was performed on two models, (sni). the purpose of this study was comparing the behavioral responses of yhese two models and the role of saphenous and su...

abstract accurate prediction of hourly minimum temperature is required for various crop models which simulate photosynthesis and transpiration. such data can be used for crop protection and reducing the crops injuries due to freezing as well. our objective of this study is employing trigonometric and pattern recognition (k-nn) approaches to evaluate their potential in prediction of hourly tempe...

gilan province is among the most important regions of iran for rice production. the general aim of this research is to determine the best variety of rice for planting, so that the minimum level for farmer's expected living gross margin can be provided. on the other hand, determining the best variety with regard to the risk in price is another aim of this research. to this end two risk models ba...
