In autonomous decentralized FMS, the number of agents and constant installation position has been studied in previous studies. Therefore, in this study, we are considering to change the position of the warehouse and the number of AGVs to redesign the factory form and evaluate the changes in the production of autonomous decentralized FMS. By being inspired by human mind, we are proposing Minimum...

We develop a decision-making framework for DES, which is unifying in two ways. Firstly, it unifies the architectures: we develop a decision-making system for a generic wellformed architecture; and then, we specialize the framework for centralized and decentralized architectures. Secondly, it unifies supervisory control, diagnosis and prognosis: we develop a framework for a generic well-formed d...

In this paper, the competition between two supply chains and their elements is studied. Each chain consisted of a manufacturer and a distributor and the two chains compete in a market with single type of customer sensitive to price and delivery time. Therefore, this is a two-supply chain game and during the competition between two supply chains, elements of each supply chain (manufacturer and/o...

In this contribution, we present the development of DynaSCOPE as a fully distributed continuous planning approach for decentralized energy units organized in Dynamic Virtual Power Plants (DVPP). The work at hand elaborates on possible basic algorithms for the DVPP planning task, motivates the choice of a fully distributed algorithm and gives details and evaluation results for the presented syst...

background and objectives: gliomas are the most prevalent primary brain tumors. the purpose of this retrospective cohort study was evaluation of clinical trend and prognosis of patients with brain glioma and effective factors in prognosis. materials and methods: hundred and forty-five patients with supratentorial brain glioma, treated in shahid mostafa khomeini & hazrat-e-rasool hospitals i...

in this paper, the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (mrac) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delay in interconnected term and input and state delays is studied. to compensate the effect of input delay indirectly, a smith predictor built on. to handle the effects of the time delays in input, the adaptive controller part includes two auxiliary dynamic f...

background: diabetes is a well-known risk factor for acute ischemic stroke (ais). some recent studies point to hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) may have prognostic value in nondiabetic and diabetic patients with ischemic stroke (is). the aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of hba1c on mortality and morbidity in ais patients with and without diabetic. methods: in this prospective observ...

In the current study, a dual-channel supply chain is considered containing one manufacturer and two retailers. It is assumed that the manufacturer and retailers have the same decision powers. A game-theoretic approach is developed to analyze pricing decisions under the centralized and decentralized scenarios. First, the Nash model is established to obtain the equilibrium decisions in the decent...

background and aims: immunohistochemical tests are one of the most important tests, which are under study to determine the prognosis of the cancers such as transitional cell carcinoma. by the time, flexible cystoscopy and urine cytology are the routine tests for following up the patients with transitional cell carcinoma, which are both operator dependent. on the other hand, cystoscopy is an inv...

AIM Physical activity offers a variety of health benefits to cancer survivors, both during and post-treatment. The aim here is to review: the preferences of cancer survivors regarding exercise counselling and participation in a physical activity programme; adherence rates among cancer survivors to physical activity programmes; and predictors of adherence to exercise training. METHODS Two elec...
