with the huge global and wide range of attention placed upon quality, promoting and optimize the reliability of the products during the design process has turned out to be a high priority. in this study, the researcher have adopted one of the existing models in the reliability science and propose a bi-objective model for redundancy allocation in the series-parallel systems in accordance with th...

this paper presents a new mathematical model for a redundancyallocation problem (rap) withcold-standby redundancy strategy and multiple component choices.the applications of the proposed model arecommon in electrical power, transformation,telecommunication systems,etc.manystudies have concentrated onone type of time-to-failure, butin thispaper, two components of time-to-failures which follow hy...

appropriate scheduling and sequencing of tasks on machines is one of the basic and significant problems that a shop or a factory manager encounters; this is why in recent decades extensive studies have been done on scheduling issues. one type of scheduling problems is just-in-time (jit) scheduling and in this area, motivated by jit manufacturing, this study investigates a mathematical model for...

according to world health organization, breast cancer is one of the most deadly cancers occurred in women. therefore accurate diagnosis and prediction is important to decrease the high death rate. the aim of this paper is twofold. first, improving breast cancer detection accuracy using modified fuzzy logic (mfl) then improving the performance of mfl algorithm using gpu platform. the experimenta...

Abstract In general redundancy allocation problems the redundancy strategy for each subsystem is predetermined. Tavakkoli- Moghaddam presented a series-parallel redundancy allocation problem with mixing components (RAPMC) in which the redundancy strategy can be chosen for individual subsystems. In this paper, we present a bi-objective redundancy allocation when the redundancy strategies for...

Dimensional synthesis of a parallel robot may be the initial stage of its design process, which is usually carried out based on a required workspace. Since optimization of the links lengths of the robot for the workspace is usually done, the workspace computation process must be run numerous times. Hence, importance of the efficiency of the algorithm and the CPU time of the workspace computatio...

The theory of distributed detection is receiving a lot of attention. A common assumption used in previous studies is the conditional independence of the observations. In this paper, the optimization of local decision rules for distributed detection networks with correlated observations is considered. We focus on presenting the detection theory for parallel distributed detection networks with fi...

 A step-by-step algorithm for enhancement of periodic signals that are highly corrupted by additive uncorrelated white gausian noise is proposed. In each adaptation step a new parallel second-order section is added to the previous filters. Every section has only one adjustable parameter, i.e., the center frequency of the self-tuning filter. The bandwidth and the convergence factor of each secti...
