In a rather general, essentially aggregation operator based discussion of the traditional fuzzy control strategies known as FATI and FITA strategies, a way to reduce these strategies to one another has been to define pairs of aggregation distributive aggregation operators. In this paper it is shown that for some often used special cases this reduction condition allows only the set theoretic uni...

Geomorphology affects the potential of land. The geomorphological condition an area has implications for physical characteristics, including: 1) type; 2) material; and 3) processes formed upon it. Understanding land capability allows evaluation suitability. Classification suitability is carried out by combining results identification with requirements plant growth or existing use. Evaluation ca...

Present study is an attempt to examine the suitability of soil moisture products available from Aqua-AMSR-E for their application in monsoon simulations at different temporal scales ranging from medium range to climate scales. For this purpose we have analysed the AMSR-E soil moisture products over 18 locations in India to evaluate their suitability for assimilation in numerical models. It has ...

this study recommends a gis-based (geographic information systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in natanz city of iran. the multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. it also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. the methodologies used for site...

For the successful tree establishment, an evaluation of land suitability is necessary.In this paper, we demonstrate how to implement fuzzy classification of land suitability in aGIS environment for afforestation with Juglans regia in Gharnaveh Watershed of GolestanProvince in Iran. Juglans regia is one of the most important agro-forestry species in manyrural parts of Iran. Relevant criteria for...

Terrestrial ecosystems consist of mutually dependent producer and decomposer subsystems, but not much is known on how their interactions are modified by plant diversity and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Factorially manipulating grassland plant species diversity and atmospheric CO2 concentrations for five years, we tested whether high diversity or elevated CO2 sustain larger or more a...
