Generally, in real decision-making, all the pieces of information are used to find the optimal alternatives. However, in many cases, the decision-makers (DMs) only want "how good/bad a thing can become." One possibility is to classify the alternative...

Selection of appropriate treatment processes for wastewater treatment (WWT) plants at the design stage involves a careful examination of different economic, environmental, and social parameters. Designers and decision-makers seek a compromise among s...
The complex nature of wastewater treatment has led to search for alternative strategies such as different artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to model the various operational parameters. The present work is aimed at predicting the transmembrane p...
OBJECTIVE: This study pursues three main objectives: 1) exploring the spatial distribution patterns of human brucellosis (HB); 2) identifying parameters affecting the disease spread; and 3) modeling and predicting the spatial distribution of HB cases...
Stress is the most prevailing and global psychological condition that inevitably disrupts the mood and behavior of individuals. Chronic stress may gravely affect the physical, mental, and social behavior of victims and consequently induce myriad crit...

This study aims to present an exact model for predicting solar radiation worldwide through a general model. In this study, mean monthly global solar radiation would have been predicted by applying artificial intelligence methods including artificial ...
Sand management is essential for enhancing the production in oil and gas reservoirs. The critical total drawdown (CTD) is used as a reliable indicator of the onset of sand production; hence, its accurate prediction is very important. There are many p...

In this work, we used the artificial intelligence tool known as neurofuzzy logic (NFL) for fabricating uniform nanoparticles of polycaprolactone by the nanoprecipitation method with a focus on stabilizer selection. The adaptability of NFL assisted th...
This paper sketches a new approach using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) to operably map and simulate digital transformation in architecture and urban planning. Today these processes are poorly understood. Many current studies on digital transformation a...
