Predicting the wear performance of circular diamond saw in the process of sawing hard dimensional stone is an important step in reducing production costs in the stone sawing industry. In the present research work, the effective parameters on circular diamond saw wear are defined, and then the weight of each parameter is determined through adopting a fuzzy rock engineering system (Fuzzy RES) bas...

introduction: today the consumption of animal protein has been allocated a special place in human nutrition. poultry cooperatives have an important role in protein production. given the significance of producing animal products and the capabilities that the poultry cooperatives possess in this regard as well as considering the macroeconomic policies of governments respecting developing the coop...

One of the techniques used to support decisions in uncertain environments is the Fuzzy TOPSIS method. However, from crisp data, this method considers only one fuzzy set in their analysis, besides being a strictly mathematical optimization technique. This article proposes extensions to the original Fuzzy TOPSIS, exploring two distinct versions: to increase the method with the necessary resources...

In this study, we introduce a novel modified synthetic evaluation method (M-TOPSIS) based on the concept of original TOPSIS and calculate the distance between the alternatives and ‘optimized ideal reference point’ in the D D-plane. It could avoid rank reversals and solve the problem on evaluation failure that often occurs in original TOPSIS, so we believe that the mechanism of M-TOPSIS is more ...

Increases in populations and in particular in developing countries are placing increased pressure on both natural and agricultural resources. In many cases, especially in semi-arid regions, the pressures are compounded by restricted agricultural lands. Reliable and relevant land evaluation is a requirement for land use policy and decision making to support sustainable rural development. Land ev...
