The Aras reservoir, located in the north-west of Iran, plays an important role in fisheries, drinking and agricultural water supplies and recreational activities in the region. This study was performed to characterize the seasonal fluctuations of phytoplankton communities and their relationship with environmental factors in the Aras reservoir from August 2013 to May 2014. Sampling was carried o...

the astacus leptodactylus specimens were collected from four sites of aras reservoir, north-west of iran and examined for the epibionts during 2009. protozoan epibionts from ciliophora (one genus and seven species) and tracheophyta were isolated from the cuticular surface of different body parts of narrow-claw crayfish, a.leptodactylus. seasonal prevalence of infestation was determined in 394 i...

Arvand is a stochastic planner that uses Monte Carlo random walks (MRW) planning to balance exploration and exploitation in heuristic search. Herein, we focus on the latest developments of Arvand submitted to IPC’11: smart restarts, the online parameter learning system, and the integration of Arvand and the postprocessing system Aras.

[1] in a classical experimental study demonstrated that partial obstruction of the renal artery increased mean arterial blood pressure (BP). The pathophysiology of renal artery stenosis (RAS) is incompletely understood but has been postulated to be related to increased a...

This paper proposes an extension of the ARAS method which, due to the use of intervalvalued fuzzy numbers, can be more appropriate for solving real-world problems. In order to overcome the complexity of real-world decision-making problems, the proposed extension also includes the use of linguistic variables and a group decision making approach. In order to highlight the proposed methodology an ...

In the hiring process at companies, decision makers have underused the methods of the multi-criteria decision-making processes of selection of personnel. Therefore, this paper aims to establish a framework for the selection of candidates during the process of the recruitment and selection of personnel based on the SWARA and ARAS methods under uncertainties.
