fuzzylogic computes a multi-criteria evaluation by means of either a boolean analysis, weightedlinear combination (wlc) and ordered weighted averaging (owa) of factor images. owa works withstandardized factor images and employs a variant of the wlc. it takes into account the risk associated withthe decision and degree of tradeoff associated with the variables in the analysis. in this research, ...

the changes in density and biomass of macrobenthos were seasonally investigated from winter 2005 till fall 2006 in southern caspian sea. samples were taken with a 225cm2 van veen grab from depths of 7 and 20 meters along two transects: line 8 area (western part) and radio darya area (eastern part). totally, 5 classes of macrobenthos were identified of which the most abundant populations were po...

REQUIRED) This paper describes analyzed working environment issues from statistics, ISO ergonomics standards and ecology of work theories in order to identify the requirements for the information system analysis and design, i.e., abstraction hierarchy with shift of languages, closed bottom up loop work system, etc. These requirements are satisfied by a methodology called ULS (unified language s...
