This paper introduces the maximum benefit Chinese postman problem (MBCPP) and the maximum benefit traveling salesman problem (MBTSP). For the MBCPP a benefit is realized each time a link of a directed graph is traversed. The MBCPP relaxes the constraint of the Chinese postman problem that each link be traversed at least once and finds a tour of maximum total net benefit. For the MBTSP a benefit...

in order to obtain the maximum benefit, yield increasing and its stability a supplemental irrigation field experiment was conducted as split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications during 1999-2002 at maragheh agricultural research station of dari. the treatments included four levels of irrigation (average of three years: 0, 95, 151 and 207 mm) as main...

Single objective optimization for maximizing total net benefit from farming is presented in this study. Differential evolution algorithm which is a family of evolutionary algorithm for fast optimization is employed for the model. The single objective optimization is used to find a better solution using the results of multi-objective optimization of crop planning where three objectives are consi...

BACKGROUND To perform a cost-benefit analysis of the installation of speed cameras on the beltways of Barcelona. METHODS The analysis was performed from the society perspective over a 2-year period using a controlled before-and-after study design. The net benefit was calculated using, as benefits, the willingness to pay for the estimated number of people who avoided injury as a consequence of...

This investigation was aimed to study the management of bollworms using different integrated pest management strategies in cotton. Highest infestation in bolls at harvest was recorded in module-5 and lowest was recorded in module-2. Net returns were highest in module-5, which also recorded maximum cost-benefit ratio. Low net returns and cost-benefit ratio were recorded in module-3. Eventhough, ...
