Selection of appropriate material is a crucial step in engineering design and manufacturing process. Without a systematic technique, many useful engineering materials may be ignored for selection. The category of multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) methods is an effective set of structured techniques. Having uncomplicated assumptions and mathematics, the MULTIMOORA method as an MADM appro...

Considering Rao et al. (2004) and Di Crescenzo and Longobardi (2009) studies, Misagh et al. (2011) proposed a weighted information which is based on the cumulative entropy called Weighted Cumulative Entropy (WCE). The above-mentioned model is a Shiftdependent Uncertainty Measure. In this paper, we examine some of the properties of WCE and obtain some bounds for that. In order to ...

We formally derive a mathematical model for evaluating the effect of context relevance in language production. The model is based on the principle that distant contextual cues tend to gradually lose their relevance for predicting upcoming linguistic signals. We evaluate our model against a hypothesis of efficient communication (Genzel and Charniak’s Constant Entropy Rate hypothesis). We show th...

In the process of planning transport systems, it is envisaged to determine movement vehicles between conditional areas city . process, a correspondence matrix compiled. The dynamic entropy model makes possible flows individual districts city, taking into account temporary changes in consumer preferences individuals. can be used solve problems an urban environment and allows many independent as ...

The present work illustrates the variable viscosity of dust nanofluid runs over a permeable stretched sheet with thermal radiation. The problem has been modelled mathematically introducing the mixed convective condition and magnetic effect. Additionally analysis of entropy generation and Bejan number provides the fine points of the flow. The of model equations are transformed into non-linear or...

Analysis of intrinsic irreversibility and heat transfer in a buoyancy-driven changeable viscosity liquid along an incline heated wall with convective cooling taking into consideration the heated isothermal and isoflux wall is investigated. By Newton’s law of cooling, we assumed the free surface exchange heat with environment and fluid viscosity is exponentially dependent on temperature. Appropr...

Covering problem tries to locate the least number of facilities and each demand has at least one facility located within a specific distance.This paper considers a cross entropy algorithm for solving the mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) for covering location model.The model is solved to determine the best covering value.Also, this paper proposes aCross Entropy (CE) algorithm consider...

this study aims at comparing the performance of logistic regression, maximum entropy, and multilayer perceptron techniques in preparing the predictive habitat distribution map of amygdalus scoparia in rangelands of qom province. for this purpose, vegetation sampling was done using random systematic methods after identifying pure habitats of this species. for soil sampling, eight profiles were e...
