An interactive memetic algorithm for production and manufacturing problems modelled as a multi-objective travelling salesman problem
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012)
In this paper a preference-based interactive memetic random-key genetic algorithm (PIMRKGA) is developed and used to find (weakly) Pareto optimal solutions to manufacturing and production problems that can be modelled as ...
Models for relief routing: equity efficiency and efficacy
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012)
In humanitarian relief operations vehicle routing and supply allocation decisions are critically important. Similar routing and allocation decisions are studied for commercial settings where efficiency in terms of minimizing ...
Canonical forms for families of anti-commuting diagonalizable linear operators
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2012)
It is well known that a commuting family of diagonalizable linear operators on a finite dimensional vector space is simultaneously diagonalizable. In this paper we consider a family A = {A(a)} A(a) : V -> V a = 1... N of ...
A framework for water and carbon footprint analysis of national electricity production scenarios
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017)
While carbon footprint reduction potential and energy security aspects of renewable and non-renewable resources are widely considered in energy policy their effects on water resources are mostly overlooked. This research ...
Epidemic models for phase transitions: application to a physical gel
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
Carrageenan gels are characterized by reversible sol-gel and gel-sol transitions under cooling and heating processes and these transitions are approximated by generalized logistic growth curves. We express the transitions ...
Radio frequency identification system optimisation models for lifecycle of a durable product
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010)
We address the implementation of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to support and manage durable products over their entire lifecycle with a focus on optimising the RFID tagging system. We develop general ...
A combined fuzzy AHP-simulation approach to CAD software selection
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010)
In this paper a combined approach where the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and simulation come together is presented to select the best computer-aided design (CAD) software out of the available options in the market. ...
Forecasting electricity demand for Turkey: Modeling periodic variations and demand segregation
(Elsevier, 2017)
In deregulated electricity markets the independent system operator (ISO) oversees the power system and manages the supply and demand balancing process. In a typical day the ISO announces the electricity demand forecast for ...
On the classification of scalar evolution equations with non-constant separant
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017)
The ` separant' of the evolution equation u(t) = F where F is some differentiable function of the derivatives of u up to order m is the partial derivative partial derivative F/partial derivative u(m) where um u(m) = partial ...
Cad software evaluation for product design to exchange data in a supply chain network
(ExcelingTech Publishers, 2015)
The sharing information in a supply chain environment especially CAD models and drawings are so important companies. So the selection of the most satisfying computer-aided design (CAD) software which enables to exchange ...
