in this study. optimum allocation of heat transfer inventory for heat exchangers in a refrigeration system with specified power input or cooling capacity. and for a heat pump with specified heating capacity is investigated. the ratio of hot- to cold-end conductance unit cost ratio. g.was considered in the analysis as an additional variable of considerable importance to the designer summarized e...

Manufacturers, who re-supply a large number of customers, continually struggle with the question of how to formulate a replenishment strategy. The purpose of this paper is to determine the optimal set of routes for a group of vehicles in the transportation network under defined constraints – which is known as the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) – delivering new items, and resolving the invent...

age replacement policy is concerned with finding an optional time tominimize the cost, at which time the unit is replaced even if itdoes not fail. so far, age replacement policy involving random agehas been proposed. this paper will assume the age of the unit is anuncertain variable, and find the optimal time to replace the unit.

Given a random set coming from the imprecise observation of a random variable, we study how to model the information about the distribution of this random variable. Specifically, we investigate whether the information given by the upper and lower probabilities induced by the random set is equivalent to the one given by the class of the distributions of the measurable selections; together with s...

This paper investigates Kamp-like and Büchi-like theorems for 1-clock Alternating Timed Automata (1-ATA) and its natural subclasses. A notion of 1-ATA with loop-free-resets is defined. This automaton class is shown to be expressively equivalent to the temporal logic RatMTL which is MTL[FI] extended with a regular expression guarded modality. Moreover, a subclass of future timed MSO with k-varia...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have received a lot of attention over the years as advanced physico-chemical polishing wastewater treatments to remove biorefractory pollutants. Additionally, many studies report their excellent degradation and mineralization performance stand-alone technologies too, demonstrating versatility these processes; however, there is lack suitable methods compare (i...
