2-Stage stochastic programming approach for hub location problem under uncertainty: a case study of air network of Iran
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-08)In this paper 2-stage stochastic programming has been developed for formulating stochastic uncapacitated multiple allocation hub location problem. This problem is studied under three cases. The first, stochastic demand, ... -
A fuzzy multicriteria generation expansion planning model
(Inderscience Publishers, 2011)In this paper, we present a fuzzy multi-objective model for power generation expansion planning problem with uncertainty in objective functions and demand balance constraints. The purpose of the fuzzy generation expansion ... -
A knowledge-based advisory system for statistical quality control
(Taylor & Francis, 1993)Implementation of an effective quality management system requires the ready availability of expert statistical quality control (SQC) practitioners. However, this expertise may be unavailable to many small- and medium-size ... -
A knowledge-based model management system for aircraft survivability analysis
(Elsevier B.V., 1995)For the survivability analysis of a weapon system, an analyst has to consider and choose from a large number of available models the set of models that best fits the study requirements. This paper presents a knowledge-based ... -
A knowledge-based system for sensor selection
(Elsevier, 1989)This paper presents a Knowledge-based system (KBS) developed to allow users, who may not be knowledgeable about sensors, to select sensors suitable for their specific needs. The KBS runs on a micro-computer. The selection ... -
A microcomputer-based knowledge system for CAD software selection
(Elsevier, 1987)This paper documents a prototype knowledge system which has been developed to select the most appropriate CAD software based on the user's requirements and preferences. -
A multi-agent deep reinforcement learning approach for solving the multi-depot vehicle routing problem
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2023-07-03)The multi-depot vehicle routing problem (MDVRP) is one of the most essential and useful variants of the traditional vehicle routing problem (VRP) in supply chain management (SCM) and logistics studies. Many supply chains ... -
A stochastic control approach to intrafraction motion management in intensity-modulated radiotherapy
(Institute of Physics, 2023-04-10)Objective. The goal of this research is to demonstrate proof-of-principle for managing intrafraction motion via feedback control of delivered dose to achieve dosimetry comparable to respiratory gating without compromising ... -
Accelerated failure identification sampling for probability analysis of rare events
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2016-07)Critical engineering systems generally demand high reliability while considering uncertainties, which makes failure event identification and reliability analysis based on computer simulation codes computationally very ... -
Accounting for patient heterogeneity in nurse staffing using a queueing-theory approach
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-06-30)Evidence from observational studies suggests that inadequate nurse staffing in hospitals and heavy nurse workload may compromise patient safety and quality of care. There are recommended minimum nurse-to-patient ratios for ... -
An age-structured bio-economic model of invasive species management: insights and strategies for optimal control
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2015-09)Controlling invasive species is a highly complex problem defined by the biological characteristics of the organisms, the landscape context, and a management objective of minimizing invasion damages given limited financial ... -
An aggregate production planning model and application of three multiple objective decision methods
(Taylor & Francis, 1980)This paper presents a multiple objective formulation of the multi-product, multi-period aggregate production planning problem. The proposed model provides for individual consideration of the conflicting multiple objectives ... -
An algorithm for multiple-objective non-linear programming
(Palgrave Macmillan, 1989)An interactive algorithm to solve multiple-objective non-linear programming (MONLP) problems is proposed. In each iteration of the proposed algorithm, the decision-maker is presented with a solution and a set of direction ... -
An experimental investigations on effects of cooling/lubrication conditions in micro milling of additively manufactured Inconel 718
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-05-06)The demand for additive manufacturing (AM) technology is recently increased in the aerospace, biomedical, and automobile sectors due to the capability of producing complex components with zero tolerance. However, the small ... -
An experimental validation of mathematical simulation of human thermoregulation
(Elsevier, 1977)An experimental validation of Stolwijk's mathematical model of thermoregulation is presented. Although the model seems to be accepted widely, very little experimental data for validation exists in the open literature. ... -
Anthropometry of south Indian industrial workmen
(Taylor & Francis, 1992-11)This paper presents the results of an anthropometric survey conducted on South Indian male workers in the electronic industry. The data were collected as part of a project to modify work stations that utilized equipment ... -
Assessing the utilization of a manufacturing plant floor as part of overhead energy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015-12)In this study, the relationship between manufacturing plant areas and the plant's overhead energy was investigated and analyzed. The physical information about five industrial facilities, which included blueprints, plant ... -
Assessing wind and mammals as seed dispersal vectors in an invasive legume
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2017-02)While some plants have modified seed structures to facilitate dispersal, many lack such specialised adaptations, making their mode of dispersal unclear. This can be particularly problematic for predicting shifts in species ... -
Asset management strategies for wind turbines: Keeping or retrofitting existing wind turbines?
(Inderscience, 2021-04-05)In this study, a parallel replacement problem with retrofitting (PRP-R) model is proposed to determine the trade-off between retrofitting and replacing an asset. The primary objective is to identify the replacement, ... -
