regarding the importance sizing and grading crop in the market and other processing operations, in this study, a machine for hazelnut sizing designed, constructed and evaluated. the machine based on sizing mechanism of diverged belt. the sizing unit has a structure similar to a horizontal belt conveyor. the distance between the ropes at the entrance of the product (the end of the driven roller)...

Abstract Integrating distributed generations (DGs) into the radial distribution system (RDS) are becoming more crucial to capture benefits of these DGs. However, non-optimal integration renewable DGs and shunt capacitors may lead several operational challenges in systems, including high energy losses, poor voltage quality, reverse power flow, lower stability. Therefore, this paper, multi-object...

As a traditional model in the operations research and management science domain, deterministic lot-sizing problem is embedded in many application problems such as production and inventory planning and has been consistently drawing attentions from researchers. In this paper we consider basic versions of lot-sizing models in which problem parameters are stochastic and develop corresponding scenar...

In this paper we develop a set of interconnect delay estimation models with consideration of various layout optimizations, including optimal wire-sizing (OWS), simultaneous driver and wire sizing (SDWS), and simultaneous bu er insertion/sizing and wire sizing (BISWS). These models have been tested on a wide range of parameters and shown to have about 90% accuracy on average compared with those ...
