Nowadays, the increase in consumption and shortening of life cycle products significantly amount waste generated, causing serious environmental problems. As a result, management has become one most important tasks 21st century, which puts huge burden on economy. Waste means practical implementation protection environment from harmful effects entire waste. This is process that involves preventio...

Robotic regolith excavation on the Moon and Mars enables outposts, fuel depots, and sustained space exploration. In any space mission, mass is always at a premium because it is the main driver behind launch costs. Low mass and reduced gravity (1/6 of Earth gravity on the Moon, 1/3 on Mars) results in machines with limited weight available to produce traction or plunge tools into regolith. Bucke...

Bin-completion, a bin-oriented branch-and-bound approach, was recently shown to be promising for the bin packing problem. We propose several improvements to bin-completion that significantly improves search efficiency. We also show the generality of bin-completion for packing and covering problems involving multiple containers, and present bin-completion algorithms for the multiple knapsack, bi...

The integration of communication technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID), global positioning system (GPS), general packet radio system (GPRS), and geographic information system (GIS) with a camera are constructed for solid waste monitoring system. The aim is to improve the way of responding to customer's inquiry and emergency cases and estimate the solid waste amount without ...

The municipal solid waste system is a complex reverse logistic chain which comprises several optimisation problems. Although these problems are interdependent—i.e., the solution to one of restricts other—they usually solved sequentially in related literature because each computationally problem. We address two tactical planning this by means Benders decomposition approach: determining location ...

The study documented three-dimensional spinal loading during lifting from an industrial bin. Two lifting styles and two bin design factors were examined in Phase I. The lifting style measures in Phase I were one hand versus two hand and standing on one foot versus two feet. The bin design variables were region of load in the bin and bin height. The Phase II study examined one-handed lifting sty...
