Nutrient Dynamics in Flooded Wetlands. II: Model Application
(ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, 2013)
In this paper the authors applied and evaluated the wetland nutrient model that was described in Paper I. Hydrologic and water quality data from a small restored wetland located on Kent Island Maryland which is part of the ...
Detached eddy simulation of shallow mixing layer development between parallel streams
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015)
Results of a high resolution Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) are used to characterize the evolution of a shallow mixing layer developing between two parallel streams in a long open channel with a smooth flat bed and medium ...
Scheduling a log transport system using simulated annealing
(Elsevier Science, 2014)
The log truck scheduling problem under capacity constraints and time window constraints is an NP-hard problem that involves the design of best possible routes for a set of trucks serving multiple loggers and mills. The ...
Efficient approaches for furnace loading of cylindrical parts
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2014)
This paper addresses the heat treatment operation in a manufacturing plant that produces different types of cylindrical parts. The immediate prior process to heat treatment is furnace-loading where parts are loaded into ...
Markov-modulated analysis of a spare parts system with random lead times and disruption risks
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018)
Spare parts supply chains are highly dependent on the dynamics of their installed bases. A decreasing number of capital products in use increases the nonstationary supply-side risk especially towards the end-of-life of ...
Supplier Selection for Framework Agreements in Humanitarian Relief
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
In this study we consider the supplier selection problem of a relief organization that wants to establish framework agreements (FAs) with a number of suppliers to ensure quick and cost-effective procurement of relief ...
An evolutionary approach for tuning parametric Esau and Williams heuristics
(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd., 2012)
Owing to its inherent difficulty many heuristic solution methods have been proposed for the capacitated minimum spanning tree problem. On the basis of recent developments it is clear that the best metaheuristic implementations ...
Computing trade-offs in robust design: Perspectives of the mean squared error
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011)
Researchers often identify robust design as one of the most effective engineering design methods for continuous quality improvement. When more than one quality characteristic is considered an important question is how to ...
Master problem approximations in Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition of variational inequality problems with applications to two energy market models
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2013)
In this paper a modification to Dantzig-Wolfe (DW) decomposition algorithm for variational inequality (VI) problems is considered to alleviate the computational burden and to facilitate model management and maintenance. ...
'Level grading' a new graded algebra structure on differential polynomials: application to the classification of scalar evolution equations
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2013)
We define a new grading which we call the 'level grading' on the algebra of polynomials generated by the derivatives u(k+i) over the ring K-(k) of C-infinity functions of x t u u(1) ... u(k) where . This grading has the ...
