introduction determining the importance of environmental impacts is one of the main issues and concerns in the process of environmental impact assessment (eia) of projects. ecological impacts assessment is very complicated and requires estimates and anticipates of all environmental impacts and thus always associated with uncertainty. a major problem in assessment of ecological impacts is that t...

the design and application of a fuzzy logic based controller to a leakage current relay waspresented in this paper. a novel approach based on fuzzy logic to form the tripping action of leakagecurrent relay was investigated. in addition to the theoretical aspect of fuzzy logic, detection of a leakagecurrent, measurement of the leakage current, determination of its duration, trip opening of fault...

The rapid development of technology, the Internet, and the development of electronic commerce have led to the emergence of recommender systems. These systems will assist the users in finding and selecting their desired items. The accuracy of the advice in recommender systems is one of the main challenges of these systems. Regarding the fuzzy systems capabilities in determining the borders of us...

Fuzzy logic systems technology, particularly fuzzy control and fuzzy modeling techniques, is one of the most successful practical applications of fuzzy set and logic theory. In the past few years, the trend has been to combine fuzzy logic systems technology with artificial neural network technology to produce so called neural-fuzzy or fuzzy-neural systems. The objective is to take the advantage...

On time replacement of a cutting tool with a new one is an important task in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). A fuzzy logic-based approach was used in the present study to predict and simulate the tool wear progress in turning operation. Cutting parameters and cutting forces were considered as the input and the wear rate was regarded as the output data in the fuzzy logic for construct...

in this paper, a control strategy is proposed for control of ankle movement on animals using intraspinal microstimulation (isms). the proposed method is based on fuzzy logic control. fuzzy logic control is a methodology of intelligent control that mimics human decision-making process. this type of control method can be very useful for the complex uncertain systems that their mathematical model ...

In this article the design and development of a hierarchical fuzzy logic system is investigated. A new method using an evolutionary algorithm for design of hierarchical fuzzy logic system for prediction and modelling of interest rates in Australia is developed. The hierarchical system is developed to model and predict three months (quarterly) interest rate fluctuations. This research study is u...
