In this paper, the problem of target detection in colocated “multi-input multi-output” (MIMO) radars is considered. A pulse-train signaling is assumed to be used in this system. As the doppler effect should be considered for the pulse-train signaling, we are confronted by a compound hypothesis testing problem, so in this paper a Generalized Likelihood Ratio (GLR) detector is derived. The high c...

Introduction It is electromyogram (EMG) that represents interference signals of electrical activities in many motor units (MUs). An EMG decomposition method is the procedure by which the signal is classified into its constituent motor unit action potential trains (MUAPTs). So far the classification to each MUAPT in multi-channel EMGs by means of an EMG decomposition method is directly performed...

Spatial Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is an increasingly used data-driven method to analyze functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. To date, it has been used to extract sets of mutually correlated brain regions without prior information on the time course of these regions. Some of these sets of regions, interpreted as functional networks, have recently been used to provide mar...

we present a new model and a new approach for solving fuzzylinear programming (flp) problems with various utilities for the satisfactionof the fuzzy constraints. the model, constructed as a multi-objective linearprogramming problem, provides flexibility for the decision maker (dm), andallows for the assignment of distinct weights to the constraints and the objectivefunction. the desired solutio...

vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. the problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. this paper propose...

since lean concept has appeared many works have been done on decreasing or even eliminating of wastes such as extra inventory. although these studies have not taken into account expected availability seriously. so in this paper, a multiple objective decision making (modm) model has been developed by viewpoint of these subjects. they are decreasing wastes and increasing system availability. wast...

in this paper, a novel multi-objective bus stop location model is proposed, which considers not only the coverage of demand and minimization of access time but also the necessities of suitable stops for transit network design phase. three objective functions are considered including minimizing (i) sum of the total access distance (time), (ii) the weighted combination of stops, and (iii) the num...

a three stage production system is considered in this paper. there are two stages to fabricate and ready the parts and an assembly stage to assembly the parts and complete the products in this system. suppose that a number of products of different kinds are ordered. each product is assembled with a set of several parts. at first the parts are produced in the first stage with parallel machines a...

the problem of staff scheduling at a truck hub for loading and stripping of the trucks is an important and difficult problem to optimize the labor efficiency and cost. the trucks enter the hub at different hours a day, in different known time schedules and operating hours. in this paper, we propose a goal programming to maximize the labor efficiency via minimizing the allocation cost. the propo...

to use services transparently in a distributed environment, the utility grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. the parameters of the quality of service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the utility grids. optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one ano...
