Random number of units for K-out-of-n systems
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)This paper takes up the reliability and preventive replacement problems for a K-out-of-n system, where K is a stochastic parameter provided. Firstly, we consider the case when K is predefined as constant numbers as is done ... -
Time-domain simulation of second-order irregular wave diffraction based on a hybrid water wave radiation condition
( Elsevier , 2016 , Article)A time-domain second-order method is presented to simulate three-dimensional wave–body interaction. In the approach, Taylor series expansions are applied to the free surface boundary conditions, and a Stokes perturbation ... -
Joint replenishment model for multiple products with substitution
( Elsevier , 2016 , Article)We extend the classical economic order quantity model to address the joint replenishment of multiple products under substitution. The proposed model optimizes ordering quantities for each product under substitution effects ... -
Halloysite nanotubes and halloysite-based composites for biomedical applications
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Novel biomaterials for diagnostics and therapeutics of biomedical issues have been considered using biomedical science and health care. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally occurring aluminosilicate clay. Because of ... -
Stem cell-based approaches in cardiac tissue engineering: controlling the microenvironment for autologous cells

Introduction to Tissue Engineering
( Wiley-VCH Verlag , 2016 , Article)Tissue engineering is a recent field that aims at developing or regenerating artificial tissues and organs. The idea of replacing a damaged body part using materials from natural origin was proposed and even applied over ... -
Effect of blade tip geometry on centrifugal compressor performance and stability
( Medwell Journals , 2016 , Article)The reliability operation for small fuel cells and hybrid fuel cell with gas turbine requires centrifugal compressor surge prevention. This study concerns a high speed centrifugal compressor stage with different blade tip ... -
Optimization-based very large-scale neighborhood search for generalized assignment problems with location/allocation considerations
( INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences , 2016 , Article)This paper introduces a novel class of generalized assignment problems with location/allocation considerations that arises in several applications including retail shelf space allocation. We consider a set of items where ... -
Exact solution methods for a generalized assignment problem with location/allocation considerations
( INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences , 2016 , Article)We investigate modeling approaches and exact solution methods for a generalized assignment problem with location/allocation (GAPLA) considerations. In contrast with classical generalized assignment problems, each knapsack ... -
