Energy simulation is a vital part of energy policy of a country, especially for a developing country like China where energy consumption is growing very rapidly. The present study has been conducted to simulate the total primary energy consumption in residential sector in rural areas in Chongqing by using macro and micro drivers including population size, number of households, persons per house...

It often results in sublevel grey full rank square matrix to become non-feasible solution square matrix when there are null-strategy variables and redundancy constraints in the grey matrix solving method of grey matrix game. We can not directly find the optimum grey game solutions in the non-feasible solution square matrix. However, we define concepts of nullstrategy variables and redundancy co...

The neural mechanisms underlying recovery of language after left hemisphere stroke remain elusive. Although older evidence suggested that right hemisphere language homologues compensate for damage in left hemisphere language areas, the current prevailing theory suggests that right hemisphere engagement is ineffective or even maladaptive. Using a novel combination of support vector regression-ba...

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...

Background: T2-weighted single-shot fast spin-echo (SS FSE) sequences are the mainstay tool for fetal brain MRI, generating high contrast images even in the presence of fetal and maternal motion (1). Fetal T1-weighted gradient (field) echo breath-hold acquisitions, useful to confirm normal anatomy and pathology, lack the quality of their T2-weighted counterparts, mainly due to artefacts from ma...

the shapley value, one of the most common solution concepts of cooperative game theory is defined and axiomatically characterized in different game-theoretic models. certainly, the shapley value can be used in interesting sharing cost/reward problems in the operations research area such as connection, routing, scheduling, production and inventory situations. in this paper, we focus on the shapl...

This paper presents a simple and effective method for image contrast enhancement called spatially weighted histogram equalization. Spatially weighted histogram not only considers the times of each grey value appears in a certain image, but also takes the local characteristics of each pixel into account. In the homogeneous region of an image, the spatial weights of pixels tend to zero, whereas a...

This study proposes a generalized grey Lotka–Volterra model with finite number of variables. The is obtained by applying the modelling method to estimate parameters dimensional quadratic system. Subsequently, used analyze competition and cooperation relationship between four macroeconomic indicators, namely Gross Domestic Product, Export, Import Investment, obtain short-time forecasting for the...
