Through the use of an effective simulated annealing algorithm, this paper presents an extensive computational investigation concerning the performance evaluation of non-permutation vs. permutation schedules for the flowline manufacturing cell with sequence dependent setup times. The results show that there are significant improvements made by using non-permutation schedules over permutation sch...

Map production has been seen previously as a standalone task, compiling information together from various sources to produce a particular cartographic product. This traditional view is now challenged by the availability of new environments which bring together databasing, object data modelling, image analysis, active agent behaviour and automated cartography to produce a unified flowline for pr...

Gas injection is a frequently used method for artificial lift and flow regime rectification in offshore production transportation flowlines. The behaviour such flowlines complex better understanding of characteristics, as patterns, void fraction/hold up distributions pressure gradient always required efficient optimal design downstream handling facilities. Injection location have been shown to ...

Abstract. Near-surface air temperature (Ta) is highly important for modelling glacier ablation, though its spatio-temporal variability over melting glaciers still remains largely unknown. We present a new dataset of distributed Ta three different size in the south-east Tibetan Plateau during two monsoon-dominated summer seasons. compare on-glacier to ambient extrapolated from several local off-...

The petroleum industry, which is one of the pillars national economy, has potential to generate vast wealth and employment possibilities. transportation products complicated changeable because hazards caused by corrosion consequences. Hazardous chemical leaks natural disasters may harm environment, resulting in significant economic losses. It significantly threatens aim for sustainable developm...

Using observations of basal topography, ice thickness and modern accumulation rates, we use theory and a dynamic flowline model to examine the sensitivity of Antarctica’s Foundation Ice Stream to changes in sea level, accumulation and buttressing at the grounding line. Our sensitivity studies demonstrate that the steep, upward-sloping basal topography inland from the grounding line serves to st...
