This work addresses a particular case of the group shop scheduling problem (GSSP) which will be denoted as fixed (FGSSP). In FGSSP, job operations are divided into stages and each stage has set machines associated to it not shared with other stages. All jobs go through all in specific order, where at need finished before advances following stage, but within can performed any order. setting is c...

Scheduling is an important subject of production and operations management area. In flow-shop scheduling, the objective is to obtain a sequence of jobs which when processed in a fixed order of machines, will optimize some well defined criteria. The concept of transportation time is very important in scheduling. Transportation can be done by robots. In situations that robots are used to transpor...

Electrochemically generated iron can remove most contaminants present in water and wast water, by precipitation, adsorption, electrostatic interaction, and complex formation (generally called electrocoagulation-EC). In the present paper, pretreatment of brackish water having high total hardness (TH), alkalinity (A),  and Cl¯ ions, is studied by application of a DC-electrical current ot the ...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with zero-divisor set $z(r)$. the total graph of $r$, denoted by$t(gamma(r))$, is the simple (undirected) graph with vertex set  $r$ where two distinct vertices areadjacent if their sum lies in $z(r)$.this work considers minimum zero-sum $k$-flows for $t(gamma(r))$.both for $vert rvert$ even and the case when $vert rvert$ is odd and $z(g)$ is an ideal of $r$it is s...

abstract one of the major factors on the amount of water resources is river flow which is so dependent to the hydrologic and meteorologic phenomena. simulation and forecasting of river flow makes the decision maker capable to effectively manage the water resources projects. so, simulation and forecasting models such as artificial neural networks (anns) are commonly used for simulation and predi...
