Till Mosa och Elias som gör livet så mycket roligare att leva. " Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind. " – Bruce Lee List of Papers This thesis is based on the following publications, which are referred to in the text by their Roman numerals. The thesis contains extended versions of all the papers. I. I developed the ...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In today's competitive world, scheduling problems are one of the most important and vital issues. In this study, a bi-objective unrelated parallel machine problem with worker allocation, sequence dependent setup times, precedence constraints, eligibility is presented. The objective functions to minimize costs tardiness hiring workers. order formulate proposed ...

one of the main challenges for manufacturers in production systems on order is balancing between orders, inputs and limited resources. hence, they have to choose some orders and reject the others. in addition, work schedule must be considered in order acceptance. in this research the integrated problem of scheduling and order acceptance in a no wait flexible flow line production system is discu...

Energy costs have dramatically increased in data center networks as an increasing number of large-scale Internet applications are used. In software-defined vehicular (SDVN), the communication delay between two vehicles and controller will climb up increases. This requires more controllers to provide service minimize latency. More lead high energy costs. Therefore, their placement, so-called pla...

The parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times is among the moststudied and hard combinatorial optimization problems, and has been investigated in depth by numerous researchers of both theoretical and practical interests. An extension of this problem to the case of unrelated parallel machines with multi-objective is evidently more complex, and its application can be...

This work addresses the research and development (R&D) of an innovative optimization kernel applied to analog integrated circuit (IC) design. Particularly, this work focus is AIDA-CMK, by enhancing AIDA-C with a new multi-objective multi-constraint optimization kernel. AIDA-C is the circuit optimizer component of AIDA, an electronic design automation framework fully developed in-house. The prop...

For this study, we screened 1,152 signature-tagged mutagenesis mutants of Brucella melitensis 16M in a mouse model of infection and found 36 of them to be attenuated in vivo. Molecular characterization of transposon insertion sites showed that for four mutants, the affected genes were only present in Rhizobiaceae. Another mutant contained a disruption in a gene homologous to mosA, which is invo...

(CIN II), and severe dysplasia or carcinoma in situ (CIN III), depend ing upon the extent of nuclear abnormality and the degree to which the differentiated upper layers of the epithelium are replaced by abnormal cells (8). The lesions differ from cancer in that the abnormal cells are confined to the epithelium and do not transgress the basement mem brane beneath it. Both cervical dysplasia and ...
