The aircraft routing is the process of assigning each individual aircraft within each fleet to flight legs. The Federal Aviation Rules require the maintenance of all the aircrafts after specified hours of period as mandatory. The minimum total maintenance cost is provided as a result of the lost flight time which is brought to minimum. The common policies in this business sector follow the prac...

Recent advances in microelectronics and computer software have rekindled enthusIasm for applications of computer-assisted instruction (CAl) The more salient features of CAl are highly compatible with the major mstructional and curricular principles recommended for learnmg-disabled children. To assess the relative effectiveness of computerized over conventional remedial methods wIth handicapped ...

Abstract The energy management in systems is the main solution for companies order to provide minimization of generation costs and emission polluting. In this work, a multi-criteria optimization model implemented minimizing cost smart micro grid (SMG) at day-ahead planning. modelling, demand side participates optimal through two strategies such as shifting onsite by storage system (ESS). partic...

C Elementary and special functions (search also class L5 ) C1 Integer-valued functions (e.g., factorial, binomial coefficient, permutations, combinations, floor, ceiling) C06GXFP Factorizes a positive integer n as n = n1 × n2. This routine may be used in conjunction with C06MCFP D Linear Algebra D1 Elementary vector and matrix operations D1a Elementary vector operations D1a1 Set to constant D1a...

The oceanographic drivers of marine vertebrate habitat use are poorly understood yet fundamental to our knowledge of marine ecosystem functioning. Here, we use composite front mapping and high-resolution GPS tracking to determine the significance of mesoscale oceanographic fronts as physical drivers of foraging habitat selection in northern gannets Morus bassanus. We tracked 66 breeding gannets...

Generalized additive models (GAMs) with bivariate smoothing functions have been applied to estimate spatial variation in risk for many types of cancers. Only a handful of studies have evaluated the performance of smoothing functions applied in GAMs with regard to different geographical areas of elevated risk and different risk levels. This study evaluates the ability of different smoothing func...

In many applications, optimization of a collection of problems is required where each problem is structurally the same, but in which some or all of the data defining the instance is updated. Such models are easily specified within modern modeling systems, but have often been slow to solve due to the time needed to regenerate the instance, and the inability to use advance solution information (s...

Inferring information related to users enables to highly improve the quality of many mobile services. For example, knowing the demographic characteristics of a user allows a service to display more accurate information. According to the literature, various works present models to detect them but, to the best of our knowledge, no one is based on the use of the spatio-temporal entropy and introdu...

Executable mathematical modeling languages (EMLs), designed to facilitate model representation and execution, are traditionally weak in data modeling and management, which often consitutes a majority of the effort in a modeling project. In this paper, we describe a systematic approach for developing an integrated decision support system given an EML model. This approach is first demonstrated us...
