abstract climate change means a significant change in the long-term weather of a region in comparison with what has been observed during a long term period. precipitation and minimum and maximum temperature are three variables which are affected directly by the climate change. furthermore, the water yield of a river is one of the most important hydrological variables of a basin which is affecte...

In this paper, a new method for developing a lower bound on exact completion time distribution function of stochastic PERT networks is provided that is based on simplifying the structure of this type of network. The designed mechanism simplifies network structure by arc duplication so that network distribution function can be calculated only with convolution and multiplication. The selection of...

Tthe Zografos–Balakrishnan-log-logistic (ZBLL) distribution is a new distribution of three parameters that has been introduced by Ramos et el. [1], and They presented some properties of the new distribution such as its probability density function, The cumulative distribution function, The  moment generating function, its hazard (failure) rate function, quantiles and moments, Rényi and Shannon ...

In this paper, a new generalization of the half-normal distribution which is called the perturbed half-normal distribution is introduced. The new distribution belongs to a family of distributions which includes the half-normal distribution along with an extra parameter to regulate skewness. The probability density function (pdf) is derived and some various properties of the new distribution are...

this paper discusses the problem of allocation of constrained renewable resource to splittable activities of a single project. if the activities of stochastic projects can be split, these projects may be completed in shorter time when the available resource is constrained. it is assumed that the resource amount required to accom-plish each activity is a discrete quantity and deterministic. the ...

In the present article an energy distribution function of heterogeneous solid was estimated. Energy distribution function is an important characterization for heterogeneous adsorbent. An overall adsorption quantity for a heterogeneous solid is usually expressed by a first kind of Fredholm equation, which contains unknown distribution function and local adsorption isotherm as a kernel. The calcu...
