The selection of a desirable site for constructing a pumped hydro energy storage plant (PHESP) plays a vital important role in the whole life cycle. However, little research has been done on the site selection of PHESP, which affects the rapid development of PHESP. Therefore, this paper aims to select the most ideal PHESP site from numerous candidate alternatives using the multi-criteria decisi...

With the constant development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), the problem of these networks has become gradually serious. People are beginning to study the performance analysis of WSNs. It is very important to correctly understanding and analyzing these networks. In this paper, we seek to use the Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP) for analysis of the WSNs performance and selecting the b...

Green performance measure is vital for enterprises in making continuous improvements to maintain sustainable competitive advantages. Evaluation of green performance, however, is a challenging task due to the dependence complexity of the aspects, criteria, and the linguistic vagueness of some qualitative information and quantitative data together. To deal with this issue, this study proposes a n...

the specific leadership style of hassan sabbah and the specific obedience style of followers, because of voluntary blind obedience of followers from hassan sabbah, is one of the most prominent samples for methodologies leadership studies and blind obedience process. in this study, we have used two different approaches towards the analysis of ismailis’s blind obedience from hassan sabbah. in one...

Speeding is a major cause of traffic accidents and is estimated to be the cause of about 40% of fatalities in road accidents. Speed is a major accident risk factor and affects both rate and severity of traffic accidents. This importance has led to universal use of intelligent control systems for maintaining road safety by enforcing speed regulations. In this study, a modeling is carried out by ...

The hybrid fuzzy differential equations have a wide range of applications in science and engineering. We consider the problem of finding their numerical solutions by using a novel hybrid method based on fuzzy neural network. Here neural network is considered as a part of large field called neural computing or soft computing. The proposed algorithm is illustrated by numerical examples and the re...

In this paper, we design a neurofuzzy controller to control several variables of a rotary cement kilns. The variables are back-end temperature, pre-heater temperature, oxygen content and CO2 gas content of the kiln. The fuzzy control system, as an advanced control option for the kilns, is intended to minimize the operator interaction in the control process. The proposed fuzzy controller uses a ...

abstract: background: depending on the importance of a good performance appraisal system to achieve organizational strategies, balanced scorecard technique provides a comprehensive foundation for interpreting and translating organization’s vision and strategy in a set of performance measures by regarding an overall view of organization in four perspectives included customer, internal processes,...
