in this paper, a multi-product continues review inventory control problem within batch arrival queuing approach (mqr/m/1) is modeled to find the optimal quantities of maximum inventory. the objective function is to minimize summation of ordering, holding and shortage costs under warehouse space, service level, and expected lost-sales shortage cost constraints from retailer and warehouse viewpoi...

microgrids are small-scale, low voltage (lv) power networks which employ renewable distribution energy resources (ders) with power electronic interfaces (peis). microgrids as single controlled units and active distribution networks require flexible control systems to ensure reliable and secure operation in different modes. these various operations of microgrid cause variations in voltage and fr...

Imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is a new socio-politically motivated global search strategy. The ICA is applied to hybrid composite laminates to obtain minimum weight and cost. The approach which is chosen for conducting the multi-objective optimization was the weighted sum method (WSM). The hybrid composite Laminates are made of glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy to combine the lightness and...

introduction: the accuracy of analyzing functional mri (fmri) data is usually decreases in the presence of noise and artifact sources. a common solution in for analyzing fmri data having high noise is to use suitable preprocessing methods with the aim of data denoising. some effects of preprocessing methods on the parametric methods such as general linear model (glm) have previously been evalua...

In this study, solutions for machinery layout with the aim of reducing transportation costs will be discussed. To do this, imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA), which is a very complicated and effective meta-heuristic algorithm is introduced. In the offered algorithm, different kinds of machinery layout are considered in single-row as country and then the best possible layout is developed ba...

In this paper, a hybrid inverse distance weighted (IDW) and the imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) was proposed for grade estimations in mining projects. Indeed, coefficients of IDW equation, power, influence were modified by applying ICA algorithm. For this, an example solved using IDW, ordinary kriging, IDW-ICA. After successfully validating IDW-ICA, iron grades estimated Baba Ali mine, ...
