Flow and Turbulence Structure Around an In-Stream Rectangular Cylinder with Scour Hole
(TSINGHUA UNIV, 2013)
An eddy resolving technique is used to reveal the unsteady dynamics of the coherent structures present in the flow field around an in-stream vertical cylinder with a scour hole at a channel Reynolds number of 240000. Such ...
Evaluating machine tool alternatives through modified TOPSIS and alpha-cut based fuzzy ANP
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012)
The problem of machine tool selection among available alternatives has been critical issue for most companies in fast-growing markets for a long time. In the presence of many alternatives and selection criteria the problem ...
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 ...
A fuzzy AHP-PROMETHEE II approach for evaluation of solar power plant location alternatives in Turkey
(IOS Press, 2017)
Solar energy produced through a solar power plant is a freely available non-polluting renewable source of energy that reduces the greenhouse effect. Selecting the best location for a solar power plant among several location ...
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. ...
