Segmentation of brain tumor images is an important task in diagnosis and treatment planning for cancer patients. To achieve this goal with standard clinical acquisition protocols, conventionally, either classification algorithms are applied on multimodal MR images or atlas-based segmentation is used on a high-resolution mono-modal MR image. These two approaches have been commonly regarded separ...

Route planning system could be used as a part of supply chain management information system or as a complete application. The main challenge in route planning system is directing vehicles to their destination in a dynamic traffic situation, with the aim of reducing travel times and enabling the efficient use of the available road capacity in the road transportation network for the supply chain ...

In CPP, we are given a set of actions (assumed deterministic in this paper), a distribution over initial states, a goal condition, and a real value 0 < θ ≤ 1. We seek a plan π such that following its execution, the goal probability is at least θ. Motivated by the success of the translation-based approach for conformant planning, introduced by Palacios and Geffner, we suggest a new compilation s...

Today, a number of direct routes using RP processes (FDM, LOM, SLA, SLS, etc.), as well as indirect routes (RP coupled with secondary or soft-tooling processes like RTV vacuum casting) are available for rapid fabrication of tooling for sand and investment casting processes. Each route is unique in terms of geometric, material, quality and cost characteristics; no comprehensive database of their...

In this report we present an ontology for Multi-Modal Transportation Planning and Scheduling. We take, as our starting point, the previously developed OZONE scheduling ontology, which provides a general basis for formulating scheduling domain models. We extend this core framework as necessary to capture the essential characteristics and constraints of multi-modal transportation planning and sch...

the present study aims to provide a solution to optimize land use through multi-objective linear programming, and to solve the conflicts generated in the process using game theory, in two cities of gorgan and kurdkoy, iran. the primary land use planning was completed for seven land use through multi-criteria evaluation and then a first allocation was implanted using mola. in the secondary land ...

Long-term planning is a challenging process for dealing with problems in big industries. Quick and flexible process of responding to the existing variable requirements are considered in such problems. Some of important strategic decisions which should be made in this field are, namely the way that manufacturing facilities should be applied as well as assignment and design the system of delivery...
