متن کاملOptimizing plant traits to increase yield quality and quantity in tobacco using artificial neural network
There are complex inter- and intra-relations between regressors (independent variables) andyield quantity (W) and quality (Q) in tobacco. For instance, nitrogen (N) increases W butdecreases Q; starch harms Q but soluble sugars promote it. The balance between (optimizationof) regressors is needed for simultaneous increase in W and Q components [higher potassium(K), medium nicotine and lower chlo...
متن کاملThe PDES Workbench
Central to the operation of a manufacturing plant is the planning and scheduling of the activities that take place. The quality of the plans and schedules produced has significant impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of a company. These schedules are restricted by the constraints imposed upon them by the design of the plant. However, while expert designers are able to roughly predict the ...
