This article proposes a novel Pareto-based multiobjective meta-heuristic algorithm named non-dominated ranking genetic algorithm (NRGA) to solve multi-facility location-allocation problem. In NRGA, a fitness value representing rank is assigned to each individual of the population. Moreover, two features ranked based roulette wheel selection including select the fronts and choose solutions from ...

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of some “unofficial” factors in Search Engine Optimisation. A summary of official Google guidelines is given followed by a review of “unofficial” ranking factors as reported by a number of experts in the field of Search Engine Optimisation”. These opinions vary and do not always agree. Experiments on keyword density, web page titles and the use of outbound...

This study is devoted to address the notion of duality in Fully Intuitionistic Fuzzy Linear Programming Problems (FIFLP). The problem is addressed by using a revised simplex method with the Gaussian elimination process in fully intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Intuitionistic Fuzzy Trapezoidal Numbers (IFTrpN), along with the basic arithmetic techniques defined on them help in solving the (FIFL...

This essay introduces a new featured section, to be published in Small Axe annually, that explores the critical vocabulary of field Caribbean studies.

Rankings for output of Chinese main agricultural commodity in the world for 1978, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2006, 2007 and 2008 have been released in United Nations FAO Database.

The development of search engines is taking at a very fast rate. A lot of algorithms have been tried and tested. But, still the people are not getting precise results. Social networking sites are developing at tremendous rate and their growth has given birth to the new interesting problems. The social networking sites use semantic data to enhance the results. This provides us with a new perspec...
