women's strong will to obtain higher education degrees and to work as faculty member of universities is an undeniable fact in iranian current society. nevertheless, female faculty members just like many other women encounter some career problems which can affect their emotions, attitudes and behaviors. this article aims at answering the three following questions: - what are the career prob...

Problem definition. We consider the classical scheduling problem of maximizing the minimum machine load on parallel machines. In this setting we are given a set of jobs J , a set of machines M to process the jobs and a processing time pj for each job j ∈ J . For a given assignment of jobs to machines, the load of a machine i is defined as the sum of the processing of jobs assigned to i. Our obj...

In many realistic situations, a job processed later consumes more time than the same job when it is processed earlier; this phenomenon is known as deteriorating jobs. However, job deterioration is relatively unexplored in the context of group technology. In this paper, we consider deterioration in the framework ofminimizing themakespan and the total completion time in single-machine group sched...

in this paper, we considered solving approaches to flexible job shop problems. makespan is not a good evaluation criterion with overlapping in operations assumption. accordingly, in addition to makespan, we used total machine work loading time and critical machine work loading time as evaluation criteria. as overlapping in operations is a practical assumption in chemical, petrochemical, and gla...

There are significant differences between a clinical evaluation and a forensic evaluation [289-291]. These differences must be kept solidly in mind in performing the evaluation. The forensic evaluator needs to assess the validity of complaints, including the possibility of malingering and the child's ability to describe symptoms accurately, the connection between the symptoms and a given incide...

This paper describes a GA for job shop scheduling problems. Using the Giffler and Thompson algorithm, we created two new operators, THX crossover and mutation, which better transmit temporal relationships in the schedule. The approach produced excellent results on standard benchmark job shop scheduling problems. We further tested many models and scales of parallel GAs in the context of job shop...

OBJECTIVES This research was conducted with an aim of determining the correlation between job insecurity and an employee's work-related health problems among permanent and temporary workers. METHODS Using the data from the First Korean Working Conditions Survey conducted in 2006, a total of 7,071 workers, excluding employers and the self-employed, were analyzed. Work-related health problems w...

this research was conducted to identify problems and obstacles in formation of job-related learning among agricultural students in university of tehran. it was a descriptive-correlational research. statistical population of the study consisted of 1103 agricultural students, out of whom 201 students were selected as sample, based on cochran’s formula. stratified random sampling technique was emp...
