Multi-model cross-pollination in time

On Cross-pollination of Perspectives on Learning

A queuing-location model for in multi-product supply chain with lead time under uncertainty

Supply chain network design (SCND) problem has recently been gaining attention because an integrated management of the supply chain (SC) can reduce the unexpected/undesirable events and can affect definitely the efficiency of all the chain. A critical component of the planning activities of a manufacturing firm is the efficient design of its SC. Hence, SCND affords a sensitive platform for effi...

Pollen Germinability and Cross-Pollination Success in Persian Cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum Mill.)

Low seed yield is a limiting factor for cross breeding and hybrid seed production in cyclamen. This study was performed to investigate pollen germination and its relation to cross-pollination success and fruit set in this plant. In order to achieve a high level of pollen germination, the effect of different concentrations of chemical compounds were examined on in vitro pollen germination of cyc...

Time-dependent cross-probability model for multi-environment model based LInear normalization

In a previous work, Multi-Environment Model based LInear Normalization, MEMLIN, was presented and it was proved to be effective to compensate environment mismatch. MEMLIN is an empirical feature vector normalization which models clean and noisy spaces by Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). In this algorithm, the probability of the clean model Gaussian, given the noisy model one and the noisy featur...

A Multi-Objective Imperialist Competitive Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Problem in Cross-docking Networks with Time Windows

This study addresses the pickup and delivery problem for cross-docking strategy, in which shipments are allowed to be transferred from suppliers to retailers directly as well as through cross-docks. Usual models that investigate vehicle routing in cross-docking networks force all vehicles to stop at the cross-dock even if a shipment is about to a full truckload or the vehicle collects and deliv...
