the safe and effective management of radioactive waste has been given utmost importance from the very inception of nuclear industry in india and it covers the entire range of activities from handling, treatment, conditioning, transport, storage and finally disposal. radioactive waste is generated at various stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, which includes the mining and milling of uranium ore, ...

the study of tectonic evolution of the tethyan and se asian regions indicates that these tworegions have each passed through southwardly progressing sequences of similar tectonic events. both regionshave experienced a southward island-arc subduction and back-arc spreading leading to continentaldetachment from gondwanaland, with an earlier southward island arc subduction of palaeotethys (tethyan...

an experiment was carried out to evaluate and compare the effects of organic and inorganic selenium (se) sources on broiler male birds (ross 308). uniform broiler male chicks divided in to five groups with six replicates were fed with either normal feed (without supplemental se, negative control), 0.25 ppm of inorganic se, 0.5 ppm of inorganic se, 0.25 ppm of inorganic se + 0.25 ppm of organic ...

Recently, combinatorial optimization problems have aroused a great deal of interest in Machine Learning, leading to interesting advances Neural Combinatorial Optimization (NCO): the study data-driven solvers for NP-Hard based on neural networks. This paper studies benefit Transfer Learning NCO by evaluating how model training can be improved taking advantage knowledge learned while solving simi...

In the southeast of bam, there is a collection of volcanic rocks with andesite, basalt and trachy andesite composition. The texture of these rocks are often porphyritic with microlithic, porphyric cavity, and sometimes glomerulophorphuri, sore throat trachytic. Main minerals include Olivine, Clinopyroxene, Plagioclase and secondary minerals including opaque minerals, Iodenzyte, secondary Biotit...

The general aim of this doctoral thesis was to thoroughly investigate diverse hybrid optimization strategies for certain classes ofNP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. For this basic concepts should be refined and further developed. The ultimate goals were twofold: to come up with highly effective, new state-of-the-art methods for solving the selected benchmark problems, and to gain fur...

one of the most important extensions of the capacitated vehicle routing problem (cvrp) is the vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (vrpspd) where customers require simultaneous delivery and pick-up service. in this paper, we propose an effective ant colony optimization (eaco) which includes insert, swap and 2-opt moves for solving vrpspd that is different with common an...
