in present paper, a point to point optimal path is planned for a mobile manipulator with flexible links and joints. for this purpose, a perfect dynamic modeling is performed for mobile manipulators considering large deformation in links, shear effects, elastic joints, effect of gravitation, and non-holonomic constraints. to study large deformation of links, non-linear relation of displacement-s...

This study is devoted to discrete sizing optimization of truss structures employing an efficient discrete evolutionary meta-heuristic algorithm which uses the Newton gradient-based method as its updating scheme and it is named here as Newton Meta-heuristic Algorithm (NMA). In order to enable the NMA population-based meta-heuristic to effectively explore the discrete design space, a term contain...

a heuristic way to calculate the approximate value of the casimir force is introduced

this article presents the application of two algorithms: heuristic big bang-big crunch (hbb-bc) and a heuristic particle swarm ant colony optimization (hpsaco) to discrete optimization of reinforced concrete planar frames subject to combinations of gravity and lateral loads based on aci 318-08 code. the objective function is the total cost of the frame which includes the cost of concrete, formw...

entrepreneurs use decision heuristics in lots of their business-related decisions. one of the most important heuristics is affect heuristic which is of paramount importance in entrepreneurs’ decision making. also, entrepreneurial marketing behavior is one of the most important entrepreneurial characteristics which is influenced by entrepreneurial mindset, decision making and thought. the paper’...

this paper deals with a multi-period fixed charge production-distribution problem associated with backorder and inventories. the objective is to determine the size of the shipments from each supplier and backorder and inventories at each period, so that the total cost incurred during the entire period towards production, transportation, backorder and inventories is minimised. a 0-1 mixed intege...

Three-parameter (3-p) Weibull distribution is commonly used in sciences such as engineering, reliability, and renewable energy. Thus, a great number of studies have been conducted on the estimation for parameters this distribution. One mostly utilized methods estimating unknown related literature Maximum likelihood (ML) method. In study, population-based novel heuristic method proposed to use D...

During the first few days after weaning, pigs often experience BW loss as they adapt to eating solid food. During this time period, they are also known to drink excessively and develop abnormal oral behavior such as belly nosing. The excessive drinking may stem from the piglets' attempt to satiate hunger through gut fill from a familiar ingestive source. Gut fill through water intake may affect...

Purpose - To reveal the importance level of digital leadership that Minister Health Fahrettin Koca exhibited to guide behaviors his followers with whom he interacts Twitter posts, by considering likes, comments and retweets. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, a database was generated 1182 tweets shared number retweets belonging these tweets. The content analysis heuristic fuzzy analyt...

Flexibility is often associated with resilience from adversity. Youth autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at risk of stress and trauma yet have inherent difficulties flexibility, including rigid behaviors, routines, “insistence on sameness,” lack social reciprocity. This review highlights literature physiological psychological processes related to inflexibility in ASD proposes a heuristic model ...
