Employing remanufactured and refurbished products are among the new strategies that companies used to raise their profits as well as protects environment. Although used product equipment gives an opportunity to purchase latest technology, customers are doubtful about quality and reliability of these products. Because of limitation that developing countries faces in buying new products, some cou...

today, with the advanced statistical techniques and neural networks, predictive models of distribution have been rapidly developed in ecology. purpose of this research is to predict and map the distribution of tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae) using mlp neural networks combined with genetic algorithm in surface of farm. population data of pest was obtained in 2016 by sampling in 1...

due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. in order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...

for any agency dealing with the design of the water distribution network, an economic design will be an objective. in this research, central force optimization (cfo) and differential evolution (de) algorithm were used to optimize ismail abad water distribution network. optimization of the network has been evaluated by developing an optimization model based on cfo and de algorithm in matlab and ...

The Proxel method is a state space-based approach to the simulation of discrete stochastic models. It implements the method of supplementary variables in an algorithmic, rather than mathematical way, without using partial differential equations and is able to solve a wide class of stochastic models. The approach has proven to be very competitive with discrete-event simulation for a class of mod...

This study deals with a two-level supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. We consider an integrated production inventory system where the manufacturer processes raw materials in order to deliver finished product with imperfect quality to the retailer, where number of defective product has a uniform distribution. The retailer receives product and conducts a 100% inspection....
