The atmospheric effects, especially the ionosphere, are the key limiting factors for real-time high accuracy positioning using the network RTK technique with a medium-to-long-range baseline separation. To investigate suitable approaches to improve ionospheric modeling towards a real-time CMlevel positioning using the Victorian continuously operating reference stations network (i.e. GPSnet) syst...

background: the malaria early warning system is defined as the use of prognostic variables for predicting the occurrence of malaria epidemics several months in advance. the principal objective of this study was to provide a malaria prediction model by using meteorological variables and historical malaria morbidity data for malaria-en­demic areas in south eastern iran. methods: a total of 2002 l...

high‑intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) is a novel treatment modality used by scientists and clinicians in the recent decades. this modality has had a great and significant success as a noninvasive surgery technique applicable in tissue ablation therapy and cancer treatment. in this study, radio frequency (rf) ultrasound signals were acquired and registered in three stages of before, during, a...

abstract autoregressive integrated moving average (arima) has been one of the widely used linear models in time series forecasting during the past three decades. recent studies revealed the superiority of artificial neural network (ann) over traditional linear models in forecasting. but neither arima nor anns can be adequate in modeling and forecasting time series since the first model cannot d...

clustering is one of the known techniques in the field of data mining where data with similar properties is within the set of categories. k-means algorithm is one the simplest clustering algorithms which have disadvantages sensitive to initial values of the clusters and converging to the local optimum. in recent years, several algorithms are provided based on evolutionary algorithms for cluster...

since the pioneering work of zadeh, fuzzy set theory has been applied to amyriad of areas. song and chissom introduced the concept of fuzzy time series andapplied some methods to the enrolments of the university of alabama. thereafter weapply fuzzy techniques for system identification and apply statistical techniques tomodelling system. an automatic methodology framework that combines fuzzytech...
