The objective of present study was to derive the economic values for number of inseminations to conception, calving interval, milk yield and stillbirth, using economic data of 10 Iranian Holstein herds. The economic values were derived by using the profit function methods and differentiating a profit equation with respect to the traits of interest. The cow fertility costs herd amortization or r...

‎in this paper we introduce the concept of order difference interval graph $gamma_{odi}(g)$ of a group $g$‎. ‎it is a graph $gamma_{odi}(g)$ with $v(gamma_{odi}(g)) = g$ and two vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent in $gamma_{odi}(g)$ if and only if $o(b)-o(a) in [o(a)‎, ‎o(b)]$‎. ‎without loss of generality‎, ‎we assume that $o(a) leq o(b)$‎. ‎in this paper we obtain several properties of $gamma_...

We examine a linear programming problem formulation in which the constraint coefficients are not precisely given in the work. We investigate the possibility of applying GAs to solve this kind of fuzzy linear programming problem without defining membership functions for fuzzy numbers, using the extension principle, interval arithmetic, and α-cut operations for fuzzy computations, and using a pen...

Introduction: In lower body endurance training, quantities of both moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) and high intensity interval training (HIIT) can lead to an improved physiological capacity and performance. Limited research is available regarding the endurance and muscular capacity of the upper body, and how training contributes to improvements in performance capacity is still unk...

Two new methods of the fourth order for the simultaneous determination of multiple zeros of a polynomial are proposed. The presented methods are based on the fixed point relation of Laguerre's type and realized in ordinary complex arithmetic as well as circular complex interval arithmetic. The derived iterative formulas are suitable for the construction of modified methods with improved converg...

In this paper we show how to achieve a maximally fast lattice wave digital filter using three-port adaptor allpass sections. Using three-port adaptors may increase the maximal sampling rate with approximately 50% compared to using second-order Richards’ allpass sections. Only bitserial arithmetics is discussed in the paper, but the same ideas can be utilized for digit-serial and bit-parallel ar...

The Netlib library of linear programming problems is a well known suite containing many real world applications. Recently it was shown by Ordóñez and Freund that 71% of these problems are ill-conditioned. Hence, numerical difficulties may occur. Here, we present rigorous results for this library that are computed by a verification method using interval arithmetic. In addition to the original in...

This paper deals with the minimax parameter estimation of nonlinear parametric models from experimental data. Taking advantage of the special structure of the minimax problem, a new e¢cient and reliable algorithm based on interval constraint propagation is proposed. As an illustration, the ill-conditioned problem of estimating the parameters of a two-exponential model is considered.

Nuclear emergency evacuation is important to prevent radioactive harms by hazardous materials and to limit the accidents' consequences; however, uncertainties are involved in the components and processes of such a management system. In the study, an interval-parameter joint-probabilistic integer programming (IJIP) method is developed for emergency evacuation management under uncertainties. Opti...
