This paper reports a linear programming approach for placement of applicants to study programs developed and implemented at the college of Business & Economics, Bahir Dar University, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. The approach is estimated to significantly streamline the placement decision process at the college by reducing required man hour as well as the time it takes to announce placement decisions. C...

in this paper by combining caching and replication techniques proposed a hybrid heuristic method based on the greedy algorithm to use the benefit of each other techniques. the algorithm in each interaction compares all the contents and one that made the best benefit value is selected for replication. the hybrid approach tested in a simulation environment and the results show that hybrid algorit...

In this paper, a nominal sensor placement methodology for leak location in Water Distribution Networks is presented. To reduce the size and the complexity of the optimization problem a clustering technique is combined with the nominal sensor placement methodology. Some of the pressure sensor placement methods for leak detection and location in water distribution networks are based on the pressu...

Server consolidation using virtualization technology has become an important technology to improve the energy e ciency of data centers. Virtual machine placement is the key in the server consolidation. In the past few years, many approaches to the virtual machine placement have been proposed. However, existing virtual machine placement approaches to the virtual machine placement problem conside...

Well placement planning is one of the challenging issues in any field development plan. Reservoir engineers always confront problem that which point should be drilled to achieve highest recovery factor and/or maximum sweep efficiency. In this paper, we use Opportunity Index (ROI) as a spatial measure productivity potential for greenfields, hybridizes reservoir static properties, and brownfields...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To estimate the safety and efficacy of Essure placement for proximal tubal occlusion in women with hydrosalpinx before in vitro fertilization (IVF). DESIGN Prospective 2-center clinical study of women with hydrosalpinx who were recruited for off-label unilateral or bilateral placement of Essure before IVF (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING Tertiary office-bas...

Family foster care placement decision-making has a weak scientific underpinning. Mostly a 'variable-oriented approach' is taken, which requires a lot of information that is not always available. The identification of clusters of foster children with similar characteristics may be a more viable decision strategy. In this study we investigated if foster children could indeed be clustered, which p...

while kant presupposes the existence of science and ethic, he studies their boundaries and limits as well. for doing this, he applies two terms and expressions, i.e., “reason” and “understanding”. in this paper, we take a look at the definitions of those two concepts in kant’s terminology within the approach that discriminates their differences. at first, the placement of these two faculties in...
