applying robust optimization to solve product mix problem in automotive industries in this article, applying robust optimization in product mix problem in automotive industries is presented. the problem includes determining both the quantity and the identification of each product to produce to maximize profit. at first, the deterministic model will be presented. then, robust model of product mi...

From a rare events perspective, scheduling disciplines that work well under light (exponential) tailed workload distributions do not perform well under heavy (power) tailed workload distributions, and vice-versa, leading to fundamental problems in designing schedulers that are robust to distributional assumptions on the job sizes. This paper shows how to exploit partial workload information (sy...

Dual photoelastic modulator polarimeters can measure light polarization, which is often described as a Stokes vector. By evaluating changes in polarization when light interacts with a sample, the sample Mueller matrix also can be derived, completely describing its interaction with polarized light. The choice of which and how many input Stokes vectors to use for sample investigation is under the...

In micropropagation of lily, preferably bulblets should be produced: Because bulblets are compact and robust, they are much easier to handle and to plant in soil than shoots. In this review, the various factors that determine bulblet growth in vitro are discussed. Gibberellins, jasmonates (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) are the major identified plant growth regulators (PGRs) for storage organ form...
