Predicting land use change is an indispensable aspect in identifying the best development and management of land resources and their potential. This study used certified land-use maps of 1997, 2006, and 2015 combined with ancillary data such as road networks, water bodies and slopes, obtained from the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Surveying and Mapping in Malaysia, respectivel...

The quality of optical remote sensing images is largely affected by clouds and haze. In addition, the mosaicking image multiple images, due to objective factors such as acquiring time or climate conditions, will lead large spectral differences in area around seamline. aforementioned scenarios seriously affect accuracy change detection models based on deep learning. However, there still a lack m...

Although higher educational institutions are increasingly faced with demands for deep changes and innovations, they have a very distinctive culture which makes rapid change difficult. In order to address this challenge, we have developed and validated a new multimedia, team-based simulation, EduSynergy, which provides a rich, realistic experience of a change management project in a university s...

Discrete-event simulation is a powerful tool for solving many problems, especially in manufacturing. Formulating the problem, building the simulation model, running the model, and analyzing the output are the basic steps in a simulation study. Because building a simulation model can be a difficult and time-consuming task, it will be useful if a decision-maker could reuse a simulation model if p...

Sometimes the quality of a process or product is described by a functional relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables referred to as profile. In most researches in this area the response variable is assumed to be normally distributed; however, occasionally in certain applications, the normality assumption is violated. In these cases the Generalized Linear Mod...

a sensitivity analysis of the flood safety of solaimantangeh dam using a regional climate change simulation is presented. based on the output of the ccsm (community climate change system model) general circulation model, the nircm (north of iran regional climate model) computes regional scale output with 50 km spatial resolution and 21 vertical layers. using the sres (special report emission sc...

climate is a complex system which is changing mainly due to the increase of greenhouse gases. because of the importance of climate change and the effects it can have on water resources, in recent years, this topic has been taken into consideration for different basins on earth. the objective of this study is to investigate the effects of climate change and forecasting meteorological variables o...

abstract: in this paper a control scheme for grid-connected operation mode and the island state of distributed generation is presented. in normal conditions, every inverter dg system in micro-grids to supply a preset power, normally operate in a constant current control mode. when micro-grids removed from the network, dg inverter of each system must recognize the island and change position to v...
