Improved bounds for hybrid flow shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks
(2013 , Article)
In this paper, we investigate the problem of minimizing makespan in a multistage hybrid flow-shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks. To generate high-quality approximate solutions to this challenging NP-hard problem, ...
The mechanical and adhesive properties of electrically and thermally conductive polymeric composites based on high density polyethylene filled with nickel powder
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Electrically and thermally conductive composites made using high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix blended with a special grade of branch-structured nickel particles were studied. Composites with high filler content were ...
Key performance indicators (KPIs) for evaluation of energy conservation in buildings
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The main objectives of this paper are to: identify key performance indicators (KPIs) related to intelligent buildings (economical, environmental, reliability, and quality), and; propose a simulation framework for evaluation ...
أثر الفتوى الشرعية في نشر الدعوة الإسلامية المعاصرة
(
كلية الشريعة و الدراسات الإسلامية - جامعة القصيم
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
رغم أن الدعوة الإسلامية لا تشترط في دعاتها، أن يكون مفتين. إلا أنها تنظر إلى المفتي على أنه في الأصل داعية، يحقق كثيراً من أهداف الدعوة، ويعمل على تسهيل مهامها في وسط المسلمين وغير المسلمين. فمن خلال الفتوى، يستشعر الناس ...
An experimental investigation into mechanical behavior of hybrid and nonhybrid composite semi-elliptical springs
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
This study introduces a new composite semi-elliptical suspension spring by utilizing fiber reinforced composite strength in principal direction instead of shear direction. Three types of composites were tested, namely, ...
The role of pharmaceutical marketing and other factors in prescribing decisions: The Yemeni experience
(2013 , Article)
Background: Prescribing decisions are a complex phenomenon and influenced by many pharmacological and non-pharmacological factors. Little is known about the actual prescribing behaviors of physicians or the factors behind ...
Fast and memory-efficient algorithms for computing quadratic time–frequency distributions
(
Elsevier Inc
, 2013 , Article)
Algorithms for computing time–frequency distributions (TFDs) limit computation time by reducing numerical operations. But these fast algorithms do not reduce the memory load. This article presents four TFD algorithms to ...
Energy-aware joint power, packet and topology optimization by simulated annealing for WSNs
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Energy-aware connectivity in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can increase their network lifetime. This can be achieved by optimizing the power control, a particular communication mechanism and the topology control. To this ...
