In this paper, a green transportation location problem is considered with uncertain demand parameter. Increasing robustness influences the number of trucks for sending goods and products, caused consequently, increase the air pollution. In this paper, two green approaches are introduced which demand is the main uncertain parameter in both. These approaches are addressed to provide a trade-off b...

This paper addresses the problem of noise reduction for chaotic signals. The existing approaches often face the trade-off between distorting original chaotic signal and holding relatively more noise in filtered signal. In this paper, a new method for analyzing signal's deterministic degree is given based on extensive analysis of local correlation of the chaotic dynamic system. A parameter D bei...

Mobility is regarded as the most important feature needed to achieve adaptability and flexibility in the executing of service components. As such, service system could be able to cope with the handling of dynamic changes in the availability of resources and position of users. On the other hand, providing user-centric and personal-content driven wide range of services, more commonly wireless one...

Heuristic evolutionary optimization algorithms are the solutions to many engineering optimization problems. Differential evolution (DE) is a real stochastic evolutionary parameter optimization in current use.DE does not require more control parameters compared to other evolutionary algorithms. Master Production Scheduling (MPS) is posed as one of multi objective parameter optimization problems ...

Insufficient oxygen transfer can result in anaerobic biofilms and odor generation during biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) removal in trickling filters, and can limit ammonia oxidation in nitrifying trickling filters. Since oxygen transfer to biofilms in plastic media trickling filters occurs by diffusion of oxygen through thin fluid films, previous models used solutions based on penetration theo...

we developed an inventory model for decaying items with selling price dependent demand in inflationary environment. deterioration rate is taken as two parameter weibull distribution. shortages in inventory are allowed with partial backlogging. backlogging rate is taken as exponential decreasing function of time. profit maximization technique is used in this study.

Wave diffraction is a very important phenomenon in marine engineering and several models have been developed for its simulation. The new version of SWAN, a third generation spectral model, includes an approximation to wave diffraction. The approximation is based on the mild-slope equation for refraction and diffraction, omitting phase information. The objective this paper is to evaluate the per...
