In this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and Bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. Then, we utilize them to solve delay differential equations and time-delay system. The method is based upon e...

this research has been done for studying the effect of split application of nitrogen fertilizer on growth indexes and yield of three hybrids of grain corn in shahrood. a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out in 2007. three hybrids of corn (double cross 370, single cross 447, single cross 499) were placed in main plots and split ap...

this paper presents a new mathematical model for a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with multiprocessor tasks in which sequence dependent set up times and preemption are considered. the objective is to minimize the weighted sum of makespan and maximum tardiness. three meta-heuristic methods based on genetic algorithm (ga), imperialist competitive algorithm (ica) and a hybrid approach of ga a...

this article addresses a single row facility layout problem where the objective is to optimize the arrangement of some rectangular facilities with different dimensions on a line. regarding the np-hard nature of the considered problem, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm based on simulated annealing has been proposed to obtain a near optimal solution. a number of test problems are randomly generat...

introduction saline wastewaters contain mineral salts which are often produced by industries such as seafood processing, cannery, vegetables, and tanning. they are imported into the sewage collection network. in coastal cities, saline water consumption seems indifferent in household parts and highlevels ofground water, leaksaltwater, precipitation duringdifferentseasons,and sea level are the ot...

a new hybrid nanomaterial was developed by immobilization of phosphomolybdate anions on the surface of modified magnetite nanoparticles with quaternary phosphonium cations. silica coated magnetic nanoparticles supported phosphonium cations, ph3p+-scmnps, were prepared by covalent attachment of chloropropylsilyl groups on the surface of silica coated magnetite nanoparticles and next reaction wit...

this research deals with axial and oblique impact crash tests on simple and hybrid composite tubes. axial and oblique impact tests have been generated on simple and hybrid composite tubes with one, two and three layers. a drop test rig was used to conduct the experiments. furthermore, in order to gain more detailed knowledge about the crash process, finite element simulations of the experiments...
