One of the problems of existing irrigation networks is seepage phenomena. Seepage problem and its control in irrigation channels is one of the most important issues in the design, construction, maintenance and operation of these channels. In this study, simulated the rate of seepage and phreatic lines in the Mianab irrigation and drainage channels located in the Karun basin using mathematical t...

This paper proposes a novel language model based combination method for ensembles of offline handwritten text line recognisers. The individual recognisers are based on hidden Markov models and the ensembles are generated with the bagging method. The proposed combination method extends the ROVER framework by rescoring the word transition networks with a language model. Experiments conducted on a...

This paper presents a nonlinear mixed-integer programming model to minimize the stoppage cost of mixed-model assembly lines. Nowadays, most manufacturing firms employ this type of line due to the increasing varieties of products in their attempts to quickly respond to diversified customer demands. Advancement of new technologies, competitiveness, diversification of products, and large customer ...

This paper proposes a combination of contour deformation modelling in Sobolev spaces and the Condensation filter to track an object over a sequence of images. As Sobolev spaces are smoothness spaces this allows to control the smoothness of the contour deformation extending previous wavelet representations. We also introduce a probabilistic model for the wavelet deformation of the contour that i...

This paper address a special class of generalized assembly line balancing in which it is assumed that there are two groups of workers: skilled and unskilled ones. The skilled workers are hired permanently while the unskilled ones can be hired temporarily in order to meet the seasonal demands. It is also assumed that more than one worker may be assigned to each workstation. To show the adv...

Background: Central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) account for many harms suffered in healthcare and are associated with increased costs disease burden. line rounds, like medical a multidisciplinary bedside assessment strategy all active central lines on unit. In-person rounds this 144-bed oncology acute care setting challenging due to variety of unchangeable factors. The aim w...

Many problems occur when assigning tasks to work centres, especially in determining the required number of workstations for line balancing which requires a minimum theoretical workstations. The most common problem is bottleneck. In this paper, method proposed solve floating single-model actual exceeds number, and standard time task (work center) cycle time. will represent critical bottle...
