MOTIVATION The inference of biochemical networks, such as gene regulatory networks, protein-protein interaction networks, and metabolic pathway networks, from time-course data is one of the main challenges in systems biology. The ultimate goal of inferred modeling is to obtain expressions that quantitatively understand every detail and principle of biological systems. To infer a realizable S-sy...

The resource-constrained project scheduling problem is to find a schedule that minimizes the project duration subject to precedence relations and resource constraints. To further account for economic aspects of the project, one may add an objective of cash nature to the problem. In addition, dynamic nature and variations in real world are known to introduce uncertainties into data. Therefore, t...

This paper considers a bi-objective model for a scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines to minimize the makespan and maximum tardiness, simultaneously. Each job has a specific size and the data corresponding to its ready time, due date and processing time-dependent machine are uncertain and determined by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Each machine has a specific capacity,...

Modeling and optimal solving of supply chain management problems lead to efficient decision making in strategic planning and supply chain operations, resulting in a competitive advantage. Today, with the planning of a sustainable supply chain, in addition to achieving economic goals, it is possible to meet social and environmental objectives and considerations. This research deal with sustainab...

Newly, the rates of energy and material consumption to augment industrial production are substantially high, thus environmentally sustainable development has emerged as main issue either developed or developing countries. A novel approach supply chain management is proposed maintain economic growth along with friendly concerns for design network. In this paper, a new green been suggested financ...

The dimensionless kinetic energy dissipation rate C(epsilon) is estimated from numerical simulations of statistically stationary isotropic box turbulence that is slightly compressible. The Taylor microscale Reynolds number (Re(lambda)) range is 20< or approximately equal to Re(lambda) < or approximately equal to 220 and the statistical stationarity is achieved with a random phase forcing method...

10 This paper addresses the optimal design and planning of sustainable chemical supply 11 chains (SCs) in the presence of uncertainty in the damage model used to evaluate 12 their environmental performance. The environmental damage is assessed through 13 the Eco-indicator 99, which includes recent advances made in Life Cycle Assess14 ment (LCA). The overall problem is formulated as a bi-criteri...

The Etherington reciprocity theorem, or distance duality relation (DDR), relates the mutual scaling of cosmic distances in any metric theory gravity where photons are massless and propagate on null geodesics. In this paper, we make use DDR to build a consistency check based its degeneracy with Hubble constant, $H_0$. We parameterise using form $\eta(z) = 1+ \epsilon z$, thus only allowing small...

quadruped robots have unique capabilities for motion over uneven natural environments. this article presents a stable gait for a quadruped robot in such motions and discusses the inverse-dynamics control scheme to follow the planned gait. first, an explicit dynamics model will be developed using a novel constraint elimination method for an 18-dof quadruped robot. thereafter, an inverse-dynamics...
