The X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and the MA.BM.006 reference spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the content of SiO2 (%) in bauxites from different deposits. The treatment of samples prior to the analysis involved the following steps: annealing, melting using the borax method,  and the formation of beads. Certified reference bauxite samples were used for the cali...

In this paper, a new spectral-iterative method is employed to give approximate solutions of fractional logistic differential equation. This approach is based on combination of two different methods, i.e. the iterative method cite{35} and the spectral method. The method reduces the differential equation to systems of linear algebraic equations and then the resulting systems are solved by a numer...

In this investigation, attempts have been made to solve two-dimension nonlinear viscous flow between slowly expanding or contracting walls with weak permeability by utilizing a semi analytical Akbari Ganji's Method (AGM). As regard to previous papers, solving of nonlinear equations is difficult and the results are not accurate. This new approach is emerged after comparing the achieved solutions...

least squares method (lsm) is an accurate and rapid method for solving some analytical andnumerical problems. this method can be used to estimate the average reservoir pressure in well testanalysis. in fact, it may be employed to estimate parameters such as permeability (k) and porevolume (vp). regarding this point, buildup, drawdown, late transient test data, modified muskatmethod, interferenc...

‎artificial neural networks have the advantages such as learning, ‎adaptation‎, ‎fault-tolerance‎, ‎parallelism and generalization‎. ‎this ‎paper is a scrutiny on the application of diverse learning methods‎ ‎in speed of convergence in neural networks‎. ‎for this aim‎, ‎first we ‎introduce a perceptron method based on artificial neural networks‎ ‎which has been applied for solving a non-singula...

in this paper the fuzzy structural reliability index was determined through modeling epistemic uncertainty arising from ambiguity in statistical parameters of random variables. the first order reliability method (form) has been used and a robust genetic algorithm in the alpha level optimization method has been proposed for the determination of the fuzzy reliability index. the sensitivity level ...

there are two interesting methods, in the literature, for solving fuzzy linear programming problems in which the elements of coefficient matrix of the constraints are represented by real numbers and rest of the parameters are represented by symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. the first method, named as fuzzy primal simplex method, assumes an initial primal basic feasible solution is at hand. t...

in restructured power systems and in a wholesale power market, a distribution company as a market player intends to maximize its profit by utilizing its options. hence determining an optimal energy acquisition strategy for a distribution company is vital, for attaining to this goal. however an important challenge for determining these strategies is forecasting other competitors and generation c...
