Comparative study of optimization methods for estimation sea surface temperature and ocean wind with microwave radiometer data is conducted. The well known mesh method (Grid Search Method: GSM), regressive method, and simulated annealing method are compared. Surface emissivity is estimated with the simulated annealing and compared to the well known Thomas T. Wilheit model based emissivity. On t...

Spin-coated and vacuum sublimed amorphous thin films (;100 nm thick! were converted into single crystalline films with a simple moving-zone-annealing technique, in which a heated metal wire generated a narrow annealed zone in the film as it is moved across the sample. This annealing resulted in both the photoluminescence and electroluminescence to increase dramatically ~by 3–4 times!, for examp...

In this paper a new approach is proposed for the adaptation of the simulated annealing search in the field of the Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO). This new approach is called Multi-Case Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing (MC-MOSA). It uses some basics of a well-known recent Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing proposed by Ulungu et al., which is referred in the literature as U-MOSA. However,...

in this paper, we introduce a methodology for safety stock placement in supply chain. the problem has two objectives: minimization of good's delivery time and inventory cost. because the problem belongs to np-hard category, we develop a proper simulated annealing algorithm (sa) for solve the proposed methodology in large scaled problem. for verify the performance and efficiency of the meth...
