  • The Fuzzy–AHP Synthesis Model for Energy Security Assessment of the Serbian Natural Gas Sector

    Aleksandar R. Madžarević, Dejan D. Ivezić, Miloš L. Tanasijević, Marija A. Živković (2020)
    Natural gas is used for the production of almost 20% of total energy today. The natural gas security of the Republic of Serbia is an urgent strategic, political and security issue. Serbia is one of the most vulnerable countries in Southeast Europe, because it only has one supply route. This study is a contribution to efforts to better understand the factors affecting energy security through the implementation of a new methodology based on the fuzzy–AHP synthesis model for measuring ...

  • Fuzzy Model for Risk Assessment of Machinery Failures

    Dejan V. Petrović, Miloš Tanasijević, Saša Stojadinović, Jelena Ivaz, Pavle Stojković (2020)
    The main goal of this research was the development of an algorithm for the implementation of negative risk parameters in a synthesis model for a risk level assessment for a specific machine used in the mining industry. Fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic theory, in combination with statistical methods, were applied to analyze the time picture state of the observed machine. Fuzzy logic is presented through fuzzy proposition and a fuzzy composition module. Using these tools, the symmetric position of the ...

  • Two approaches to compilation of bilingual multi-word terminology lists from lexical resources

    Branislava Šandrih, Cvetana Krstev, Ranka Stanković (2020)
    In this paper, we present two approaches and the implemented system for bilingual terminology extraction that rely on an aligned bilingual domain corpus, a terminology extractor for a target language, and a tool for chunk alignment. The two approaches differ in the way terminology for the source language is obtained: the first relies on an existing domain terminology lexicon, while the second one uses a term extraction tool. For both approaches, four experiments were performed with two parameters being ...

  • Uticaj raspadanja na stabilnost kosina u mekoj stenskoj masi

    Anđela Despotov (2024)
    U radu je opisano ponašanje mekih stenskih masa koje su izložene porecesu raspadanja tokom određenog vremenskog perioda. Meke stenske predstavljaju kritične vrste stenskih masa pošto izazivaju različite probleme tokom izvođenja građevinskih radova. Meke stene mogu biti sedimentne stene, raspadnute metamorfne i magmatske stene. Odlikuju se niskim vrednostima čvrstoće, visokom deformabilnošću, visokom plastičnošću, podložne su dezintegraciji i fizičko-hemijskom raspadanju, odnosno ubrzanom dejstvu površinskog raspadanja usled atmosferskih uticaja.Za klasifikaciju mekih stenskih masa koriste se modifikovane verzije već postojećih klasifikacionih sistema.
