Application of multiple response optimizations using desirability function in the production of microbial metabolites improves economy and efficiency. Concurrent production of cellulase and xylanase in Trichoderma reesei NCIM 1186 using an agricultural weed, Prosopis juliflora pods, was studied. The main aim of the study was to optimize significant medium nutrient parameters for maximization of...

this paper presents the results of a comprehensive study on the efficiency of planar parallel mechanisms, considering their kinetostatic performance and also, their workspace. this aim is approached upon proceeding single- and multi-objective optimization procedures. kinetostatic performances of ten different planar parallel mechanisms are analyzed by resorting to a recent index, kinematic sens...

With the advance of response surface optimization, an extended approach of integrated average and standard deviation of multiple responses is addressed in this paper. In addition to the location effect of the process performance, the dispersion effect should also be taken into account with the development of products. The multi-response optimization problem is discussed under a specific paradig...

Linear flux switching motors with simple passive segmented secondary, referred as Segmented Secondary Linear Flux Switching Motors (SSLFSMs), have low cost secondary and therefore are applicable to transportation systems like Maglev. However, it is shown that the SSLFSMs suffer from high thrust ripples. In this paper, minimizing SSLFSM thrust ripples besides maximizing its developed thrust are ...

The utilization of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads in semi-lightweight concrete (SLC) intended for repair and building applications has gained great attention recent years. This study examines the effect mix design parameters including binder content, water-to-binder ratio (w/b), EPS silica fume (SF) additions on mechanical properties durability SLC mixtures. experimental program was carried o...

In this paper multi objective optimization problem for partitioning process of VLSI circuit optimization is solved using IPO algorithm. The methodology used in this paper is based upon the dynamic of sliding motion along a frictionless inclined plane. In this work, modules and elements of the circuit are divided into two smaller parts (components) in order to minimize the cutsize and area imbal...
