over the past few decades, several models such as the lp model have been used for managing watersheds and determining optimal cultivation pattern for agricultural planning. management and planning methods are the most important applied tools of management science for optimal allocating resources in order to gain the most profits in the different fields including natural resources, water resourc...

In this paper, we propose an efficient approach to design optimization of analog circuits that is based on the reinforcement learning method. In this work, Multi-Objective Learning Automata (MOLA) is used to design a two-stage CMOS operational amplifier (op-amp) in 0.25μm technology. The aim is optimizing power consumption and area so as to achieve minimum Total Optimality Index (TOI), as a new...

Many resource allocation issues, such as land useor irrigation planning, require input from extensive spatial databases and involve complex decisionmaking problems. Spatial decision support systems (SDSS) are designed to make these issues more transparent and to support the design and evaluationof resource allocation alternatives. Recent developments in this Ž eld focus on the design of allocat...

The change of land use/land cover has been known as an imperative force in environmental alteration, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This research was mainly aimed to assess the validity of two major types of land change modeling techniques via a three dimensional approach in Birjand urban watershed located in an arid climatic region of Iran. Thus, a Markovian approach based on two suit...

The London Plan, the Greater Authority’s spatial development strategy for London, has defined Heathrow as an Opportunity Area – area with capacity to support additional homes and jobs since 2004, but progress on developing been minimal. Uncertainty around expansion of Airport appears have adversely affected progress. Nevertheless, most recent Plan stipulates that should accommodate 13,000 new 1...

As the main feature of land use planning, land use allocation (LUA) optimization is an important means of creating a balance between the land-use supply and demand in a region and promoting the sustainable utilization of land resources. In essence, LUA optimization is a multi-objective optimization problem under the land use supply and demand constraints in a region. In order to obtain a better...

optimal allocation of water resources is an essential service in agriculture that must be considered by farmers. one of the most significant factors in optimal allocation of water resources in agriculture is to define optimal farm cropping pattern. in this study, in order to determine optimal cropping pattern and water resources allocation in central district of mashhad city (toos village), the...

In this paper we introduce a property of balanced contributions in the context of multi-issue allocation situations. Using this property, we characterise the run-to-thebank rule for multi-issue allocation situations.
