This paper details our submission to the MISTA 2013 challenge, which deals with the multi-mode resource-constrained multi-project scheduling problem (MRCMPSP). Kolisch and Hartmann [4] recommend metaheuristics as the best-performing methods when tackling the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with a single project and without multiple-modes. Most of these metaheuristics share many ...

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the cutting are, root canal anatomy preservation and non-instrumented areas of F360®, F6-SkyTaper®, Hyflex-EDM®, iRACE®, Neoniti®, O.Shape®, P.Next®, Reciproc®, Revo-S® and Wave-One-Gold® size 25 files. Materials and Methods 300 teeth with a single straight root and a circular or elliptical root canal were divided into 10 groups (1-F360®, 2- F6-S...

The ESO Infrared Detector High Speed Array Control and Processing Electronics, IRACE, is designed as a modular system which supports readout and data processing of arrays with four, and eventually more, output channels. In addition, the system can handle several separate arrays by routing the data to multiple processing chains. Detector front-end(s) are galvanically isolated from the data proce...

The ever-growing number of Internet Things (IoT) devices increases the amount data produced on daily basis. To handle such a massive data, cloud computing provides storage, processing, and analytical services. Besides this, real-time applications, i.e., online gaming, smart traffic management, healthcare, cannot tolerate high latency bandwidth consumption. fog paradigm brings services closer to...

Pheromone-based heuristic column generation (ACO-HCG) is a hybrid algorithm that combines ant colony optimization and a MIP solver to tackle vehicle routing problems (VRP) with black-box feasibility. Traditionally, the experimental analysis of such a complex algorithm has been carried out manually by trial and error. Moreover, a full-factorial statistical analysis is infeasible due to the large...
