artificial neural networks are used in many smart apparatus and different fields such as signal processing pattern diagnoses, military systems, medicine, financial systems, and artificial intelligence. in this article using quality of neural networks in optimizing energy cost in moving limb and its effectiveness in organization a cognitive function founded by presenting an algorithm for use in ...

The conventional method towards deriving schedule for a fleet of ships to minimize cost alone has the short-coming of not addressing the problem of operation revenue losses associated with delays during maintenance at ships dockyards. In this paper, a preventive maintenance schedule for a fleet of ships that incorporates op-portunity cost is presented. The idea is to assign a penalty cost to al...

In this paper, the cost and income efficiency models have been considered with regard to the multiple objective programming structures. For finding the efficient points in purposed MOLP problem, some various methods like Lexicography & the weighted sum can be used. So by introducing the MOLP problem the cost & income efficiencies will be achieved. In the present study, the MOLP problem is conve...

This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...

Wind power has been widely considered in recent years as an available and a clean renewable energy source. The cost of wind energy production is currently the main issue, and increasing the size of wind turbines can reduce wind energy production costs. Hence, megawatt wind turbines are being rapidly developed in recent years. In this paper, an aerodynamic analysis of the NREL 5MW turbine is...

This paper presents a new and useful methodology for simultaneous allocation of sectionalizer switches and distributed energy resources (DERs) considering both reliability and supply security aspects. The proposed algorithm defines the proper locations of sectionalizer switching devices in radial distribution networks considering the effect of DER units in the presented cost function and other ...

Water pricing is considered as one of the most important management tools of water resources, which can result in optimized allocation in the agricultural sector. In this regard, this study estimated the cost of water and the value of water in the farmlands covered by the selected manmade ponds (MMPs) within the Alborz project area in Mazandaran Province using the engineering economics methods ...

this paper represents a theoretical model from which the supply function for a durable goods is derived. it turns out that consumer at the equilibrium condition equates its user cost with the marginal value of services received by using an additional unit of durable goods. the stock price is obtained from this condition. in addition, at the equilbrium condition for producer, the stock price is ...

In many applied programs in real-life problems, both physical inputs and outputsare heterogeneous which in this case the ecient cost and income modelcan not apply to evaluate the cost and income of related turnover. So, a measurementbased on the directional value of prot was presented which we havedeveloped it in this paper and have computed it for interval data. In fact, wehave measured the in...
