FUZZY RULE-BASED MODEL FOR OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT OF MARINE PROTECTED AREAS: A CASE STUDY ON THE MARINE RESERVE CERBÈRE-BANYULS
Journal Title: International journal of research -GRANTHAALAYAH - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Marine spatial planning (MSP) is considered as one of the most appropriate ways to create and manage marine protected areas (MPAs) around the world. However, conservation constraints and the increase in competition for limited space and resources can generate land use conflicts. The purpose of this study is to develop an approach based on fuzzy inference systems FIS in order to solve the problem of land use conflicts in the Marine Reserve Cerbère-Banyuls in France. The advantage of the proposed method is that expert scientific knowledge in coastal aquaculture activities and the GIS data can be incorporated into a geospatial model to create optimal maps for spatial distribution of activities in the MPAs. This method is applied to the reserve Cerbère-Banyuls and it demonstrated a good efficiency.

COMPARING THE FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF CONCRETE MADE WITH RIVER SAND WITH THAT MADE WITH QUARRY DUST AS FINE AGGREGATE
This work focuses on the 100% replacement of river sand with quarry dust in the production of concrete. Two types of concrete were produced (concrete made with river sand and that made with quarry dust as fine aggregate)...
GENERALIZATIONS OF RAMANUJAN’S RANK FUNCTIONS COLLECTED FROM RAMANUJAN’S LOST NOTEBOOK
In1916, Srinivasa Ramanujan defined the Mock Theta functions in his lost notebook and unpublished papers. We prove the Mock Theta Conjectures with the help of Dyson’s rank and S. Ramanujan’s Mock Theta functions. These f...
