We develop the fuzzy generalized ordered weighted averaging distance (FGOWAD) operator. It is a new aggregation operator that uses the main characteristics of the generalized OWA (GOWA), the ordered weighted averaging distance (OWAD) and uncertain information represented as fuzzy numbers. This operator includes a wide range of distance measures and aggregation operators such as the fuzzy maximu...

the objective of this study is to develop a novel methodology integrating remote sensing, geographic information system technology and local spatial autocorrelation geo-computation for quick drought assessment. one group of drought indices, based on the condition of the vegetation, includes the normalized difference vegetation index (ndvi), anomaly of normalized difference vegetation index (ndv...

The drop in the MRI signal intensity, analysed without any normalisation, was found related to the intervertebral disc degeneration, but its association with low back pain remains controversial. The authors developed the analysis of MR signal intensity distribution (AMRSID) method that analyzes the 3D distribution of the normalized T2-weighted MR signal intensity within the intervertebral disc ...

In this paper, the weighted goal program is reformulated as a lexicographic goal program with two main goals. The first goal, which has the first priority, seeks to minimize the maximum weighted undesired normalized deviation. The second goal, having the second priority, minimizes the sum of the undesired normalized deviations. This approach provides a solution that is consistent with the weigh...

Very high resolution satellite images are used to derive the spatial distributions of landscape ecological metrics within suburban areas. These indicators are weighted mean patch size and lacunarity computed from thresholded normalized difference vegetation index obtained from multispectral IKONOS-2 imagery. Spatial distributions of the metrics are derived for an extensive suburban area on the ...

the geometric mean particle diameter (dg) and lime are two of the most important properties from the viewpoint of soil management. nowadays remote sensing technology which has emerged walking with science development throughout the world, has made soil study faster, more facile and more cost-efficient. an investigation of soil dg and lime was performed in pol-e-dokhtar area by use of four sets ...
