In this paper, an efficient extension of network simplex algorithm is presented. In static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. In this paper, the Static Scheduling problem of Automated Guided Vehicles in container terminal is solved by Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA) and NSA+, which extended the stand...

In this paper, a scheduling problem for automated guided vehicles in container terminals is defined and formulated as a Minimum Cost Flow model. This problem is then solved by a novel algorithm, NSA+, which extended the standard Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA). Like NSA, NSA+ is a complete algorithm, which means that it guarantees optimality of the solution if it finds one within the time avail...

Earthquake prediction (EQP) is an extremely difficult task, which has been overcome by adopting various technologies, with no further transformation so far. The negative selection algorithm (NSA) artificial intelligence method based on the biological immune system. It widely used in anomaly detection due to its advantages of requiring little normal data detect anomalies, including historical se...

The behavioral manifestations of social anxiety may have implications for social outcomes. Unfortunately, little is known about how anxiety shapes social interaction. The present study examined social interactions in dyads consisting of either 2 nonsocially anxious (NSA) individuals or 1 socially anxious (SA) and 1 NSA individual. Behavior, self-reported affect, and perceptions were examined. I...

To overcome the performance degradation of adaptive filtering algorithm in presence of impulsive noise, a novel normalized sign algorithm (NSA) based on the convex combination strategy is proposed in this paper, which is an adaptive combination of two NSA filters with the different step-size, called NSA-NSA. The proposed approach is capable of solving the conflicting requirement of fast converg...

Scheduling of vehicles in the container terminal is often studied as a static problem in the literature, where all information, including the number of jobs, their arrival time, etc., is known beforehand. The objective is generally minimizing the total travelling and/or waiting times of the vehicles. When the situation changes, for example new jobs arrive or a section of the terminal is blocked...

In this paper, three solutions for scheduling problem of the Single-Load and Multi-Load Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in Container Terminals are proposed. The problem is formulated as Constraint Satisfaction and Optimization. When capacity of the vehicles is one container, the problem is a minimum cost flow model. This model is solved by the highest performance Algorithm, i.e. Network Simple...

Introduction This document estimates the possible capabilities of the NSA in breaking certain types of cipher by exhaustive key search. It is a theoretical document, and only covers technical ability: in many cases the NSA will use alternative methods to break target cipher systems. The aim of this document is to give some estimates for the security of certain key lengths for some symmetrical (...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability, construct validity and internal consistency of the Brazilian version of the Nottingham Sensory Assessment for Stroke Patients (NSA). METHODS The instrument was translated into Portuguese from its original in English by a bilingual translator and was then back-translated into English. Twenty-one hemiparetics were evaluated ...
