Thanks to Pylyshyn's work in the imagery debate, theorists are now apt to be at least a bit more cautious when they launch into descriptions of depictive representation. Even if the full force of his critique is not everywhere acknowledged, more care and vigilance is exercized when broaching talk of scanning mental images, focusing on such entities, or rotating them. The very places found in me...

facility location-allocation models are used in a widespread variety of applications to determine the number of required facility along with the relevant allocation process. in this paper, a new mathematical model for the capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with probabilistic customer's locations and fuzzy customer’s demands under the hurwicz criterion is proposed. ...

microgrid presents an efficient and novel solution for integrating many new energy generating resources with traditional distribution networks. having an appropriate protective scheme is a fundamental challenge in achieving microgrid plans. it is proven that traditional protective plans are not efficient for protecting microgrid, since the network is dynamic and the level of fault current chang...

we consider the queueing maximal covering location-allocation problem (qm-clap) with an m/m/1 queueing system. we propose a new solution procedure based on decomposition of the problem into smaller sub-problems. we solve the resulting sub-problems both with a branch and bound algorithm and with the meta-heuristic grasp. we also solve the entire model with grasp. computational results for these ...

Key aspects in realizing the maximum potential of advanced Location-Based Services (LBS) are the standardization and cross-platform availability of an Application Programming Interface (API) for mobile phones that allows access to real-time location information. To shorten the development time of advanced LBS, such an API should also provide essential features such as map user interfaces, geoco...

In this paper, we propose a novel framework for behaviors recognition and detection of certain types of abnormal behaviors, capable of achieving high detection rates on a variety of real-life scenes. The new proposed approach here is a combination of the location based methods and the object based ones. First, a novel approach is formulated to use optical flow and binary motion video as the loc...

The problems of facility location and the allocation of demand points to facilities are crucial research issues in spatial data analysis and urban planning. It is very important for an organization or governments to best locate its resources and facilities and efficiently manage resources to ensure that all demand points are covered and all the needs are met. Most of the recent studies, which f...
