The present study is intended to develop a Preventive Maintenance (PM) policy for industrial applications, while considering two different objectives: the first objective is to optimize the total maintenance costs, i.e., the Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Emergency Maintenance (EM) Costs Per Unit Time. (CPUT). The second objective is to design the policy in such a way that the simplicity of it...

Introduction: This study aimed to present a system based on intelligent models that can enhance the accuracy of diagnostic systems for acute leukemia. The three parts including preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification network are considered as associated series of actions. Therefore, any dysfunction or poor accuracy in each part might lead in general dysfunction of...

The need to more intelligently and efficiently manage water distribution systems is increasingly more important to agencies managing such networks seeking a way to increase the reliability of their systems, the uninterrupted quality service of their “customers” and the cost-efficient operations and maintenance of the aging distribution networks. Repair and/or replacement of aging water mains, e...
