Given the need to reduce fuel emissions from transport many research studies have been devoted development of technologies and identification new policies tackle this problem. The majority these strategies either increase costs (e.g., technology), are more time-consuming (i.e., choosing a sustainable mode transport), or encourage consumers forgo travel plans flights holiday destinations). Imple...

Air-Conditioning (AC) systems are responsible for a considerable portion of the energy consumption in buildings located in high cooling load requiring regions of Iran. In addition, the heat flow through the buildingschr('39') external walls plays a major role in cooling load estimations for the countrychr('39')s hot regions. Therefore, application of insulation materials in external walls has g...

this paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (mimo) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. the agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. a distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. the structures of the contro...

In this paper, we develop an economic production quantity (EPQ) model under machine breakdown and two types of repair (corrective and preventive). also, study the simultaneous effect of holding safety stock and purchasing policy. In order to avoid shortages occurring as a result of the random repair time, in addition to keep safety stock, we suppose that the manufacturer could purchase some qua...

This paper proposes a hybrid control scheme for the synchronization of two chaotic Duffing oscillator system, subject to uncertainties and external disturbances. The novelty of this scheme is that the Linear Quadratic Regulation (LQR) control, Sliding Mode (SM) control and Gaussian Radial basis Function Neural Network (GRBFNN) control are combined to chaos synchronization with respect to extern...
