behaviour of the dilution characteristics of the coastal waters off tuticorin is presented in thebackground of setting up of a desalination plant. simulations of dispersion and spreading of the proposeddischarges has been carried out. scenarios of dilutions were assessed based on the results of a 2d model using the advection-dispersion theory. it is observed that under prevailing currents in th...

geographic information systems (gis) are one of the fastest growing computer-based technologies of past two decades, yet, full potential of this technology in construction has not been realized. based upon gis capabilities, construction site layout is one of the areas that gis could be applied. the layout of temporary facilities (tfs) such as warehouses, fabrication shops, maintenance shops, co...

Abstract The suitability of the new cemetery site selection area is one management that needs to be emphasized for sustainable development. Lack suitable land burial a major issue often arises especially in big cities including Malaysia, even though guidelines have been specified. To overcome this problem, systematic use technology implemented. aim study analyze existing modeling method and fac...

This paper proposes fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making approach integrated with fuzzy real option value theory. The applicability of the proposed method was shown on a real-world supermarket location selection problem. Based on the interviews with the experts, the evaluation criteria for retail location selection were identi ̄ed. Then the network for fuzzy analytic network process (ANP) method...

Radio astronomy uses radio telescopes to detect very faint emissions from celestial objects. However, human-made frequency interference (RFI) is currently a common problem faced by most terrestrial telescopes, and it getting worse with the development of economy technology. Therefore, essential monitor evaluate during planning, construction, operation stages telescope protect quiet environment ...

This paper explores the applicability and capability of solving site location problems using an integrated approach that includes the Markov-chain based Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm, Geographic Information System (GIS), fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Evaluation of Mixed Data (EVAMIX). The novelty of the proposed methodology is its capability to combine the flexibility of fuz...

this comprehensive work explores the research performed inoptimization of the collection bin and in recycle bin location-allocation issues in solidwaste management. although the collection phase of solid waste management accountsfor a significant proportion of the municipal budget, it has attracted only limitedattention of the researchers. optimization of the collection bin and recycle bin loca...

Based on the introduction of the concepts of logistics and logistics center, this paper analyzed the status and problems of Jilin Province’s logistics center, and proposed the steps, principles and factors for site selection of logistics center. Then by listing and comparing nine kinds of logistics center site selection method, including Analytic Hierarchy Process, Cluster Algorithm, Genetic Al...

Obtaining accurate information about specific locations is of great importance to today’s many crowdsourced smartphone applications. To verify information about a location, smartphone users are selected to go to the location and answer a yes/no question about the location. Our research focuses on the location-aware worker selection problem, which is the problem of selecting a group of workers w...
