Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that employs basic identifier of an object embedded in a chip, transmitted via radio wave, for identification. An RFID Card responds to query/interrogation irrespective of ‘Who’ holds the Card; like a key to a door. Since an attacker can possess the card, access to such object can therefore be easily compromised. This security breach is clas...

A gear transmission problem is one of the most complex optimization problems because of relationship between different variables. A gear design require the designer to compromise many design variables; i.e. continuous, discrete & integer variables in order to determine best performance of gear set. Numbers of conventional methods are available for solving different types of optimization problem...

Machine milking, like a good marriage, is an exercise in compromise. Obsession with one goal at the expense of the others is seldom the optimal solution. The main goals of machine milking are to remove the available milk from each cow's udder quickly and completely, without slipping or falling, with minimum discomfort to the cow and minimum damage to her teats. Balancing these goals requires co...

this paper deals with an essential problem which the modern western thinker faced with and tried to find a solution for that in the benefit of modern humanity. this problem is human reason and his free mind. the author tries here to go back to zarathrustrian concept of mind and bring forth some fresh reflections in a comparative way. this will let him to evaluate in the main the view that argue...

* Marcel Boumans 'If contradictory attributes be assigned to a concept, I say, that mathematically the concept does not exist.' (Hilbert 1902, 448) 'Sometimes control with a single lens is impossible since some incompatible features are required and a compromise becomes necessary calling for further judgement on the part of the designer as to which error should be reduced and to what degree.' (...

The paradigm of multi-criteria decision making considers not only many attributes in the decision-making process but also the optimization of a number of objectives to accomplish certain targets. A multi-objective programming problem is a problem involving the simultaneous optimization of various, often conflicting, objective functions under certain given constraints to find compromise solution...

We report an experimental and theoretical study on type VIII beta-turn using a designed peptide of sequence GDNP. CD and NMR studies reveal that this peptide exists in equilibrium between type VIII beta-turn and extended conformations. Extensive MD simulations give a description of the free energy landscape of the peptide in which we retrieve the same two main conformations suggested by the exp...

Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) is a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) set and the ranking of TIFNs is an important problem. The aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking TIFNs by using multiattribute decision making methods (MADM). In this methodology, the value and ambiguity indices of TIFNs may be considered as the attributes and the TIFNs in compa...
