The Max-p-Regions Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a new spatially constrained clustering problem called the max-p-regions problem. It involves the clustering of a set of geographic areas into the maximum number of homogeneous regions such that the value of a spatially extensive regional attribute is above a predefined threshold value. We formulate the max-p-regions problem as a mixed integer programming (MIP) problem, and propose a heuristic solution. The max-p-regions problem 1

Effect of various blood glucose levels on regional FDG uptake in the brain
Objective(s): Studies have mainly assessed the effect of hyperglycemia on18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the brain. In this study, we assessed the FDG uptake of the brain not only in normo- and hyperglycemia but also in hypoglycemia to compare the effect of various blood glucose levels on regional FDG uptake in the brain. Methods: </...
متن کاملLinear Objective Function Optimization with the Max-product Fuzzy Relation Inequality Constraints
In this paper, an optimization problem with a linear objective function subject to a consistent finite system of fuzzy relation inequalities using the max-product composition is studied. Since its feasible domain is non-convex, traditional linear programming methods cannot be applied to solve it. We study this problem and capture some special characteristics of its feasible domain and optimal s...

Background: Teaching epidemiology of occupational diseases is an important course for occupational health students. If these courses are taught with problem based learning or other new educational methods they will be more beneficial. The objective of this study was the determination of the effects of three educational methods on learning of epidemiology of occupational diseases. Methods: This ...

متن کاملLinear optimization of fuzzy relation inequalities with max-Lukasiewicz composition
In this paper, we study the finitely many constraints of fuzzy relation inequalities problem and optimize the linear objective function on this region which is defined with fuzzy max-Lukasiewicz operator. In fact Lukasiewicz t-norm is one of the four basic t-norms. A new simplification technique is given to accelerate the resolution of the problem by removing the components having no effect on ...
