Emergencies are events that vary in complexity and dynamically shift along different phases of evolution, requiring different types of participants. Emergency management is an interdisciplinary field that involves multiple organizations holding different mandates and structural chains of command. This poses a challenge for collaboration in the way strategic problems are solved at each stage of ...

Temporally and spatially dependent uncertain parameters are regularly encountered in engineering applications. Commonly these uncertainties accounted for using random fields processes, which require knowledge about the appearing probability distributions functions that is not readily available. In cases non-probabilistic approaches such as interval analysis fuzzy set theory helpful to analyze u...

This paper introduces a complete framework of Modified Adaptive Fuzzy Inference Engine (MAFIE) and its application. The fuzzy with hybridization schemes has become of research interest in versatile applications over the past decade. The fuzzy hybridizations models are quite popular among practitioners or researchers in various advanced promising fields to help solve problems with a small number...

Reliability is the most important performance issue in the engineering design process but in the real world problems, there are limitations for using the conventional reliability. Fuzzy logic has proved to be effective in expressing uncertainties in different fields, including reliability engineering. In this paper, For both the series and parallel systems composed of three identical or differe...

Fuzzy Logic is one of the concepts that has created different scientific attitudes by entering into various professional fields nowadays and in some cases has made remarkable effects on the results of the practical researches. However, the existence of stochastic and uncertain situations in risk and accident field, affects the possibility of the forecasting and preventing the occurrence of the ...

The use of herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals in agricultural fields increases the concentration of chemicals in streams which severely affects the health of human and environment. The transport of chemical pollutants into river or streams is not straight forward but complex function of applied chemicals and land use patterns in a given river or stream basin. The factors responsible fo...
