Shifting artificial data to detect system failures
(
John Wiley & Sons Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Multivariate statistical process control (MSPC) is used for simultaneously monitoring several process variables. While small changes to normal operating conditions made by this system may not seriously affect the quality ...
Structural and morphological study of mechanochemically synthesized crystalline nanoneedles of Zr-doped carbonated chlorapatite
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanosize Zr-doped carbonated chlorapatite (n-ZCCA) was developed as a novel bioceramic by a ball milling process. Results showed that the microstructural characteristics of the product were affected significantly by the ...
Multiple parts process planning in serial–parallel flexible flow lines: part II—solution method based on genetic algorithms with fixed- and variable-length chromosomes
(
Springer London
, 2015 , Article)
Multiple parts process planning (MPPP) is a hard optimization problem that requires the rigor and intensity of metaheuristic-based algorithms such as simulated annealing and genetic algorithms. In this paper, a solution ...
Design development of aggregates cooling systems for hot weather concreting
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
Using hot aggregates, in concrete production, results in a drop in compressive strength of the produced concrete. Various methods have been proposed for cooling concrete aggregates. This paper proposes new two designs for ...
An adaptive step-down procedure for fault variable identification
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
In a process with a large number of process variables (high-dimensional process), identifying which variables cause an out-of-control signal is a challenging issue for quality engineers. In this paper, we propose an adaptive ...
Humans are Well Tuned to Detecting Agents Among Non-agents: Examining the Sensitivity of Human Perception to Behavioral Characteristics of Intentional Systems
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
For efficient social interactions, humans have developed means to predict and understand others' behavior often with reference to intentions and desires. To infer others' intentions, however, one must assume that the other ...
In situ strengthening of thin-wall structures using pressurized foam
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
A simple and effective in situ method for strengthening or healing thin-wall structures is presented. In this method, a liquid-state gap-sealing foam is injected within the enclosed spaces of a structure. After injection ...
Hybridized ant colony algorithm for the Multi Compartment Vehicle Routing Problem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Multi Compartment Vehicle Routing Problem is an extension of the classical Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem where different products are transported together in one vehicle with multiple compartments. Products are stored ...
A three dimensional extended Arlequin method for dynamic fracture
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
We propose a concurrent multiscale method for fracture coupling two three-dimensional continuum domains. Fracture in both domains is treated by the extended finite element method. The coupling is based on the Arlequin ...
Mucoadhesive chitosan derivatives as novel drug carriers
(
Bentham Science Publishers B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Chitosan on its own is a well-established natural polymer and is widely regarded as a biodegradable, biocompatible and nontoxic material for drug delivery applications. Although unmodified chitosan has some mucoadhesive ...
