in this study, a two-objective mixed-integer linear programming model (milp) for multi-product re-entrant flow shop scheduling problem has been designed. as a result, two objectives are considered. one of them is maximization of the production rate and the other is the minimization of processing time. the system has m stations and can process several products in a moment. the re-entrant flow sho...

We consider the question: given a multi-objective optimization problem and a search algorithm for generating solutions to it, which non-dominated solutions should be kept, assuming at most N of them can be stored at any time? One would like the points (the images of the solutions in the objective space) stored to form a well-distributed approximation of the Pareto front of the sequence of point...

Abstract We propose a flexible multivariate stochastic model for over-dispersed count data. Our methodology is built upon mixed Poisson random vectors ( Y 1 ,…, d ), where the { i } are conditionally independent variables. The rates of distributions with arbitrary non-negative margins linked by copula function. present basic properties these and provide several examples. A particular case geome...

Titanium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via a solvothermal treatment of titanium isopropoxide in the presence of L-lysine (lysine). The prepared nanostructures characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), diffraction scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and...

Using the techniques of optical microscopy and particle tracking, we measure the correlated diffusion in a monolayer of uniform silica spheres dispersed at a water-air interface. It is found that the correlated motion of the interfacial particles can be well described by two universal response functions, the normalized longitudinal and transverse diffusion coefficients D(∥)(r/r0) and D(⊥)(r/r0)...

If each minimal dominating set in a graph is minimum set, then the called well-dominated. Since seminal paper on well-dominated graphs appeared 1988, structure of from several restricted classes has been studied. In this we give complete characterization nontrivial direct products that are We prove if strong product well-dominated, both its factors When one graph, other factor being also suffic...

Freshwater zooplankton is increasingly used to study effects of dispersal on community and metacommunity structure. Yet, it remains unclear how zooplankton disperses. Clearly, birds and wind play a significant role as zooplankton dispersal agents, but they may not always be the main vectors. This experimental study shows that a cosmopolitan aquatic insect, Notonecta, can be an important vector ...
