the decision to buy, sell, design and construct residential apartments is a complex process due to a combination of multiplequalitative and quantitative factors. it thus requires a great deal of costs and time for decision makers in this market. identifying these factors and determining the priority of them are importance for selectingan apartment. the aim of current research is to identify the...

this paper addresses a multi-criteria decision based methodology to develop a road network cost function for route finding analysis in a geographic information system (gis). over the years, several studies relating to route planning process in gis and intelligent transportation systems (its) have been conducted, most of which rely on the use of one-dimensional variables like distance or time as...

in this paper, we introduce a takagi-sugeno (ts) fuzzy model which is derived from a typical multi-layer perceptron neural network (mlp nn). at first, it is shown that the considered mlp nn can be interpreted as a variety of ts fuzzy model. it is discussed that the utilized membership function (mf) in such ts fuzzy model, despite its flexible structure, has some major restrictions. after modify...

in order to study the relationship between random boolean sets and some explanatory variables, this paper introduces a propagation model. this model can be applied when corresponding poisson process of the boolean model is related to explanatory variables and the random grains are not affected by these variables. an approximation for the likelihood is used to find pseudo-maximum likelihood esti...

in this article, the discrete time state space model with first-order autoregressive dependent process noise is considered and the recursive method for filtering, prediction and smoothing of the hidden state from the noisy observation is designed. the explicit solution is obtained for the hidden state estimation problem. finally, in a simulation study, the performance of the designed method ...

in many industrial and non-industrial applications the quality of a process or product is characterized by a relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables. this relationship is referred to as profile. in the past decade, profile monitoring has been extensively studied under the normal response variable, but it has paid a little attention to the profile with the ...

background: recombinant proteins overexpressed in e. coli are usually deposited in inclusion bodies. cysteines in the protein contribute to this process. inter- and intra- molecular disulfide bonds in chitinase, a cysteine-rich protein, cause aggregation when the recombinant protein is overexpressed in e. coli. hence, aggregated proteins should be solubilized and allowed to refold to obtain nat...
