This paper considers the multi-period service scheduling problem with an aperiodic service policy. In this problem, a set of customers who periodically require service over a finite time horizon is given. To satisfy the ...

Underground transportation systems are big energy consumers and have significant impacts on energy consumption at a regional scale. The literature has revealed that the energy consumption for non-traction purposes may be ...

This document presents the analysis with CODE_BRIGHT finite element program of a geotechnical case. The problem analyzed is related to a mechanical analysis of soilstructure interaction considering different alternatives ...

The goal of this thesis is to explore the basic axiomatic theory of Syn- thetic Differential Geometry (SDG). This field aims to put the study of smooth manifolds, and geometry therein, in a topos-theoretic framework. Though ...

The combination of components from different algorithms is currently one of most successful trends in optimization. The hybridization of metaheuristics, such as ant colony optimization, evolutionary algorithms, and variable ...

This paper analyzes a realistic variant of the Permutation Flow-Shop Problem (PFSP) by considering a non-smooth objective function that takes into account not only the traditional makespan cost but also failure-risk costs ...

The kinesin-3 motor KIF1A is involved in long-ranged axonal transport in neurons. To ensure vesicular delivery, motors need to navigate the microtubule lattice and overcome possible roadblocks along the way. The single-headed ...

We develop and extend a line of recent works on the design of mechanisms for heterogeneous tasks assignment problem in ’crowdsourcing’. The budgeted market we consider consists of multiple task requesters and multiple IoT ...

We present a C++ implementation of Tabu Search method for the Minimum k-Cardinality Tree problem. Tabu Search is a well known heuristic for sub-optimally solving optimization problems. This method applies also to Minimum ...
