Hazardous waste location-routing problems are of importance due to the potential risk for nearby residents and the environment. In this paper, an improved mathematical formulation is developed based upon a multi-objective mixed integer programming approach. The model aims at assisting decision makers in selecting locations for different facilities including treatment plants, recycling plants an...

approximation sequences are easier to generate because the cost of the abstract computation is independent from the database size. However, this is still a sound and complete procedure: Theorem [Ca91b]: A completed database instance v is a solution of (d0, C) iff there exists an abstract approximation sequence (d i) such that dn = v. We can also define abstract fixpoint approximation sequence, ...

Simulation-based design has become an inherent part of multidisciplinary design as simulation tools provide designers with a flexible and computationally efficient means to explore the interrelationships among various disciplines. Complications arise when the simulation programs may have deviations associated with input parameters (external uncertainties) as well as internal uncertainties due t...

the realization optimality theory is a recent development in the original optimality theory which is proposed to deal with morphological issues especially the inflectional ones. its main idea is to consider the morphological realization rules as ranked violable language-specific constraints that control the realization processes and provide phonological information of grammatical morphemes. thi...

The integrated management of water supply and demand has been considered by many policymakers; due to its complexity the decision makers have faced challenges so far. In this study, we proposed an efficient framework for managing in line with economic environmental objectives basin. To design framework, a combination ANFIS multi-objective augmented ε-constraint programming models TOPSIS were us...

this study set out to investigate the distribution of the syntactic properties associatedwith the prodrop parameter by persian-speaking l2 learners of english in an attemptto examine the (un)attainability of native-like knowledge and (in)accessibility of ugin adult sla. to do so, 92 participants were assigned into different levels of l2knowledge based on their performances on the oxford placeme...
