In this paper methods of mixing decision rules are investigated and applied to the so-called multiple job type assignment problem with specialized servers which is modeled as continuous time Markov decision process. Performance optimization is difficult for this assignment problem, but optimization over the class of static policies is tractable. By applying the described mixing methods a suitab...

The incorporation of ethnomethodology in professional systems development has prompted the call for the approach to move from design critique to design practice and the invention of the future. This has resulted in the development of a variety of mixing pot hybrids that have had marginal impact upon product-based development, whose needs the approach has been configured to meet. This paper sugg...

This paper presents the initial stage of an effort aimed at developing a new correlation to estimate pseudo critical properties for sour gas when the exact composition is not known. Several mixing rules and gas gravity correlations available in the literature are first evaluated and compared. The evaluation is performed on a large database consisting of more than 2000 samples of sour gas compos...

In this short review we discuss the notion of lepton numbers. The strong evidence in favor of neutrino oscillations obtained recently in the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino experiment and in solar neutrino experiments imply that the law of conservation of family lepton numbers Le, Lμ and Lτ is strongly violated. We consider the states of flavor neutrinos νe, νμ and ντ and we discuss the e...

Ultrasonic velocity data on hydrocarbon mixtures was shown by Wang and Nur JASA 89, 2725 (1991)] to agree quite well with the predictions of a simple mixing rule (volume average of velocity). The same data is reanalyzed using Wood's formula and the time average approximation. Wood's formula for acoustic velocity is shown to be always less than the time average formula, which is itself always le...

In this paper a new mixing condition for sequences of random variables is considered. This mixing condition is termed γ-mixing. Whereas mixing conditions such as α-mixing are typically defined in terms of entire σ-fields of sets generated by random variables in the distant past and future, γ-mixing is defined in terms of a smaller class of sets: the finite dimensional cylinder sets. This leads ...

Designing an effective criterion for selecting the best rule is a major problem in theprocess of implementing Fuzzy Learning Classifier (FLC) systems. Conventionally confidenceand support or combined measures of these are used as criteria for fuzzy rule evaluation. In thispaper new entities namely precision and recall from the field of Information Retrieval (IR)systems is adapted as alternative...

one of the known rules of jurisprudence is a rule called firash that derived from the hadith of the priphet, that means child is for his father and stone is for adulterous. as a result of this rule, a child born to woman- by supposing all firash conditions-is belong to the man who has an offical life with that woman not adulterous or others. iranian civil law to comply with this rule,codify the...
