Fuzzy ANP-Based PROMETHEE II Approach for Evaluation of Machine Tool Alternatives
(IOS Press, 2016)
Machine tool selection process has been a critical issue for companies for years since improper selection of a machine tool might cause many problems affecting negatively the productivity precision flexibility and company's ...
An intelligent approach to prioritize logistics requirements in food industry
(ExcelingTech Publishers, 2014)
The aim of this study is to analyze dairy food industry and to determine the priorities of important logistics requirements (LR) based on customer requirements as a part of a supply management system. For product or service ...
Determination of epidemic parameters from early phase fatality data: A case study of the 2009 A(H1N1) pandemic in Europe
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2018)
This paper demonstrates that the susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) model applied to the early phase of an epidemic can be used to determine epidemic parameters reliably. As a case study the SIR model is applied to the ...
Minimization of rest mismatches in round robin tournaments
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018)
In sports tournaments an occurrence of a difference in the rest periods of opponent teams in a game which we refer to as a rest mismatch will disadvantage the less rested team. Thus it is only fair to expect opposing teams ...
Multi-objective Fuel Supply for Coal-fired Power Plants Under Emission Transportation and Operational Constraints
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2013)
Coal-fired power plants need to decrease their generation cost in deregulated power markets so as to be selected dispatched and compete with other cheaper resources. On the other hand coal prices have risen significantly ...
Agent-based Optimization to Estimate Nash Equilibrium in Power Markets
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2013)
In most deregulated power markets firms bid daily into a day-ahead power market. The auction mechanism supply and demand determine the equilibrium at each hour. In this environment firms aim to maximize their revenues by ...
Energy Storage with Pumped Hydrostorage Systems Under Uncertainty
(Springer International Publishing Ag, 2015)
Energy storage is becoming an important problem as the difference between supply and demand becomes sharper and the availability of energy resources is not possible all the time. A pumped hydrostorage system (PHSS) which ...
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 ...
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 ...
