This study recommends a GIS-based (Geographic Information Systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in Natanz City of Iran. The multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. It also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. The methodologies used for site...

for the successful tree establishment, an evaluation of land suitability is necessary.in this paper, we demonstrate how to implement fuzzy classification of land suitability in agis environment for afforestation with juglans regia in gharnaveh watershed of golestanprovince in iran. juglans regia is one of the most important agro-forestry species in manyrural parts of iran. relevant criteria for...

this paper presents a methodology for design of instrumentation sensor networks in non-linear chemical plants. the method utilizes a robust extended kalman filter approach to provide an efficient dynamic data reconciliation. a weighted objective function has been introduced to enable the designer to incorporate each individual process variable with its own operational importance. to enhance the...

In this paper, we generalize a theorem of Shao [12] by assuming that is a sequence of linear negatively dependent random variables. Also, we extend some theorems of Chao [6] and Thrum [14]. It is shown by an elementary method that for linear negatively dependent identically random variables with finite -th absolute moment the weighted sums converge to zero as where and is an array of...
