This paper develops a bi-directional prediction approach to predict the production parameters and performance of differential fibers based on neural networks and a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. The proposed method does not require accurate description and calculation for the multiple processes, different modes and complex conditions of fiber production. The bi-directional prediction a...

This text includes definitions of finite sequences over rings and left-, right-, and bi-module over a ring, treated as functions defined for all natural numbers, but almost everywhere equal to zero. Some elementary theorems are proved, in particular for each category of sequences the schema of existence is proved. In all four cases, i.e for rings, left-, right-, and bi-modules are almost exactl...

This paper addresses the optimal design and planning of sustainable chemical supply chains (SCs) in the presence of uncertainty in the damage model used to evaluate their environmental performance. The environmental damage is assessed through the Eco-indicator 99, which includes the recent advances made in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The overall problem is formulated as a bi-criterion stochast...

Dysmorphic concern (DC) refers to excessive preoccupation with a slight or imagined defect in physical appearance with social avoidance and behavior directed at controlling the defect in appearance. This study attempted to adapt the factor structure of two instruments that cover the DC construct, the Dysmorphic Concern Questionnaire (DCQ) and the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Examination Self-Report...

Owing to limited bandwidth, how to reduce the control overhead of routing protocols is an important issue in mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, an Efficient and Robust Location-Aided Route Protocol (ER_LAR) is proposed. The ER_LAR includes Sector-Broadcast Mechanism, Route Maintenance, and Bi-directional Route Repair. Sector-Broadcast Mechanism mainly reduces the communication overhead duri...
