Growth kinetics of MPS-capped CdS quantum dots in self-assembled thin films
(Springer, 2012)
For this study we prepared colloidal CdS quantum dots using 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane as capping agent. Colloidal CdS quantum dots were directly deposited on glass substrates by a spin-coating process. Coated ...
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 ...
