In this paper a two-dimensional non-oriented guillotine bin packing problem is studied when items have different priorities. Our objective is to maximize the total profit which is total revenues minus costs of used bins and wasted area. A genetic algorithm is developed to solve this problem where a new coding scheme is introduced. To evaluate the performance of the proposed GA, first an upper b...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa background:  regarding the importance of right diagnosis in medical applications, various methods have been exploited for processing medical images solar. the method of segmentation is used to analyze anal to miscall structures in medical imaging. objective:  this study describes a new method for brain magnetic resonance image (mri) segmentation via a ...

This paper deals with a multi-period fixed charge production-distribution problem associated with backorder and inventories. The objective is to determine the size of the shipments from each supplier and backorder and inventories at each period, so that the total cost incurred during the entire period towards production, transportation, backorder and inventories is minimised. A 0-1 mixed intege...

location-allocation is a combinatorial optimization problem, and is defined as non deterministic polynomial hard (np) hard optimization. therefore, solution of such a problem should be shifted from exact to heuristic or meta heuristic due to the complexity of the problem. locating medical centers and allocating injuries of an earthquake to them has high importance in earthquake disaster managem...

This paper addresses the multi-mode multi-skilled resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Activities of real world projects often require more than one skill to be accomplished. Besides, in many real-world situations, the resources are multi-skilled workforces. In presence of multi-skilled resources, it is required to determine the combination of workforces assigned to each activity. H...
