soil and land information is vital for land use planning and infrastructure development. maps of soils landscapes are powerful tools to guide sustainable planning and natural resource management. fuzzy set theory has been widely used in soil science for soil classification and mapping, land evaluation, fuzzy soil geostatistics, soil quality indices. in fuzzy logic-based approaches, soil spatial...

many of nonlinear systems in the field of engineering such as nano-resonator and atomic force microscope can be modeled based on duffing equation. analytical frequency response of this system helps us analyze different interesting nonlinear behaviors appearing in its response due to its rich dynamics. in this paper, the general form of duffing equation with cubic nonlinearity as well as paramet...

the standardized precipitation index (spi) has become a popular measure of drought across the globe. in this study, standardized precipitation index (spi) was used in annual period of time to survey on drought. also, in order to zonation frequency of drought, geographic information system (gis) software and kriging method used for extracting dry areas. the zoning maps show most severe drought i...

in this paper, the homotopy analysis method (ham) is considered to obtain the solution of the schrodinger equation with a power law nonlinearity. for this purpose, a theorem is proved to show the convergence of the series solution obtained from the proposed method. also, an example is solved to illustrate the eciency of the mentioned algorithm and the h-curve is plotted to determine the region...
