in this research, a first order markov chain model was applied to simulate soil salinity in nine standard depths and 10 classes in the cultivated pistachio areas of ardakan city. transition probability matrix, kernel and uniform distribution were used to simulate 500000 soil profiles. results indicate kernel function could reproduce soil salinity values with statistical criteria (i.e. mean, sta...

In this paper, we establish a new coherent risk measure on Lp, which refer to as the monotone mean Lp-deviation measure. Then, related properties are discussed. Furthermore, from perspective of acceptance set, discuss relationship between and Sharpe ratio Finally, extend multivariate setting.

BACKGROUND The underlying mechanisms of the association between ambient temperature and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are not well understood, particularly for daily temperature variability. We evaluated if daily mean temperature and standard deviation of temperature was associated with heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) duration, a marker of ventricular repolarization in a prospec...

in this paper, we propose a new method for fuzzy numbers. in this method, we assume that ai= (ai1, ai2, ai3, ai4) is to be a fuzzy number. so, the convex combination of ai1 and ai2 and also the convex combination of ai3 and ai4 are obtained separately. then, mic and mis that are to be the convex combinations and the standard deviation respectively we acquire them from these components. finally,...

Why process at all? Of course, the answer is ultimately feed efficiency, producing the most milk, eggs, meat or fiber at the lowest possible cost. Particle size reduction as the first step in the feed manufacturing process works toward the goal of improved feed efficiency by increasing the surface area of the materials being processed. This increases the amount of materials exposed to the anima...
