Natural regeneration in forest management, which relies on artificial planting, is considered a desirable alternative to reforestation. However, there are large uncertainties regarding the natural processes, such as seed production, dispersal, and seedling establishment. Among these dispersal by wind must be modeled accurately minimize risks of regeneration. This study aimed (1) review main mec...

While product and technology roadmaps have been well-formalized in terms of their structures, methodologies, and frameworks, design roadmaps have not been explicitly explored nor studied from either an academic or industry practice standpoint. With increasing uncertainties, rapid changes, and complexities in market environments, companies are finding that they can no longer differentiate their ...

Robots have been increasingly used in uncertain environments where direct contact with the surrounding environment exists. A design procedure of an adaptive fuzzy control, which can be carried out systematically, is suggested in this paper. The developed adaptive laws learn on-line the fuzzy rules of the control system and the uncertainties of the plant. Adaptive fuzzy control is integrated in ...

Inventory control in a supply chain is crucial for companies desiring to satisfy their customers demands as well as controlling costs. This paper examines specifically supply planning under uncertainties in MRP environments. Models from literature that deals with random demand or lead time uncertainties are described and commented. Promising research areas emerge from this survey. It appears th...

introduction: discharging of industrial colored wastewaters especially into aqueous environments can cause adverse effects on aquatic life due to their toxic natures. in this study, montmorillonite modified by hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (hdtma-mt) was used for the adsorption of methylene blue (mb). materials and methods: the influence of surfactant loading rate, contact time, ph, adsor...
