A TWO-STAGE ITERATED GREEDY ALGORITHM AND A MULTI-OBJECTIVE CONSTRUCTIVE HEURISTIC FOR THE MIXED NO-IDLE FLOWSHOP SCHEDULING PROBLEM TO MINIMIZE MAKESPAN SUBJECT TO TOTAL COMPLETION TIME

Advanced production systems usually are complex in nature and aim to deal with multiple Zinc performance measures simultaneously.Therefore, in most cases, the consideration of a single objective function is not sufficient to properly solve scheduling problems.This paper investigates the multi-objective mixed no-idle flowshop scheduling problem.The

Abstract The availability of many variables with predictive power makes their selection in a regression context difficult.This study considers robust and understandable low-dimensional estimators as building Dining Room Package blocks to improve overall predictive power by optimally combining these building blocks.Our new algorithm is based on gene

In this research, an active antenna operated at the second harmonic frequency is investigated, and is implemented using microstrip antenna material.The antenna consists of a FET oscillator which plays as a fundamental frequency oscillator and a frequency multiplier, and a patch antenna resonated at the second harmonic frequency as the radiator.A ma

Cells generate diverse microtubule populations by polymerization of a common alpha/beta-tubulin building block.How microtubule associated proteins translate microtubule heterogeneity into specific cellular functions is not clear.We evaluated the ability of kinesin motors involved in vesicle transport to read microtubule heterogeneity by using singl
