for optimum planning, utilization, and management of lands, recognition of spatial variability of soil properties is necessary. this research was conducted to evaluate spatial variability of soil properties in 5000 ha of arsenjan plain in fars province. for this purpose, soil salinity, ph, particle size percentage, sodium, potassium, and organic carbon (oc) were measured on a systematic squared...

Coriolis mass flow meters are one of the most accurate tools to measure the mass flow in the industry. However, two-phase mode (gas-liquid) may cause severe operating difficulties as well as decreasing certitude in measurement. This paper presents a method based on fuzzy systems to correct the error and improve the reliability of these sensors in the presence of two-phase model fluid. Definite ...

forecasting of municipal waste generation is a critical challenge for decision making and planning,because proper planning and operation of a solid waste management system is intensively affected by municipal solid waste (msw) streams analysis and accurate predictions of solid waste quantities generated. due to dynamic and complexity of solid waste management system, models by artificial intell...

a quantitative structure–activity relationship (qsar) study is suggested for the prediction of biological activity (pic 50 ) of 3, 4-dihydropyrido [3 ,2-d] pyrimidone derivatives as p38 inhibitors. modeling of the biological activities of compounds of interest as a function of molecular structures was established by means of principal component analysis (pca) and least square support vector mac...

in this paper, a new alternative method for order reduction of high order systems is presented based on optimization of multi objective fitness function by using harmony search algorithm. at first, step response of full order system is obtained as a vector, then, a suitable fixed structure considered for model order reduction which order of original system is bigger than fixed structure model. ...
