this paper proposes a hybrid method to find cumulative distribution function (cdf) of completion time of gert-type networks (gtn) which have no loop and have only exclusive-or nodes. proposed method is cre-ated by combining an analytical transformation with gaussian quadrature formula. also the combined crude monte carlo simulation and combined conditional monte carlo simulation are developed a...

Winding function method (WFM) provides a detailed and rather simple analytical modeling and simulation technique for analyzing performance of faulty squirrel-cage induction motors (SCIMs). Such analysis is mainly applicable for designing on-line fault diagnosis techniques. In this paper, WFM is extended to include variable degree of magnetic saturation by applying an appropriate air gap functio...

simulation optimization is a scientific tool that is widely used to design and optimize comminution circuits in mineral processing plants. In this research, first of all, in order to  determine the suitable d80 for cicuit hydrocyclone underflow, the requiremed parameters of simulator (residence time distribution, breakage function, selection function and Plitt’s model calibration) were determin...

The purpose of this short note is to consider much shorter and nicer proofs about fixed point results on b-metric spaces via b-simulation function introduced very recently by Demma et al. [M. Demma, R. Saadati, P. Vetro, emph{Fixed point results on b-metric space via Picard sequences and b-simulation functions}, Iranian J. Math. Sci. Infor. 11 (1) (2016) 123--136].

One of the most important prediction problems in finite population is the prediction of a linear function of characteristic values of a finite population. In this paper the admissibility of linear predictors of an arbitrary linear function of characteristic values in a finite population under reflected normal loss function is considered. Under the super-population model, we obtain the condition...

simulation of grinding circuits has being performed from 30 years ago and is also to be more complete and powerful approach with improvement of mathematical models which simulate various processing units/machines. the modeling and simulation of various mineral processing circuits are presently performed. in order to simulate the present grinding circuits of esfordi phosphate processing plant, a...
