This paper presents a nonlinear mixed-integer programming model to minimize the stoppage cost of mixed-model assembly lines. Nowadays, most manufacturing firms employ this type of line due to the increasing varieties of products in their attempts to quickly respond to diversified customer demands. Advancement of new technologies, competitiveness, diversification of products, and large customer ...

We establish a one-to-one correspondence between one-sided and two-sided regular systems of conditional probabilities on the half-line that preserves the associated chains and Gibbs measures. As an application, we determine uniqueness and non-uniqueness regimes in one-sided versions of ferromagnetic Ising models with long range interactions. Our study shows that the interplay between chain and ...

Purpose: Time and Space assembly line balancing problem (TSALBP) is the of taking area required by task to store tools into consideration. This important be considered minimize unplanned traveling distance workers consequently time waste. Although TSALBP a realistic that express real-life situation, it became more practical consider multi-manned get better space utilization, few literatures add...

When marking the subjective midpoint of a horizontal line, patients with left unilateral neglect typically deviate rightward. Different accounts of this pattern of performance refer either to a biased competition between the two hemi-segments of the line, with the right part being subjectively perceived as longer than the left part, or to a distortion of a cognitive representation of space, wit...

The Green’s function, defined as the response recorded at the acquisition surface for a source located in the interior of the subsurface, is a combination of the downgoing and upgoing wave fields needed to reconstruct an image of the discontinuities inside the earth. Two-sided Green’s function representations require measurement on the full boundary enclosing the domain of interest and allow us...

We demonstrate how to use Lautemann's proof that BPP is in p 2 to exhibit that BPP is in RP PromiseRP. Immediate consequences show that if PromiseRP is easy or if there exist quick hitting set generators then P = BPP. Our proof vastly simpliies the proofs of the later result due to Andreev, Clementi and Rolim and Andreev, Clementi, Rolim and Trevisan. Clementi, Rolim and Trevisan question wheth...
