A hybrid simulation-optimization approach for the robust Discrete Time/Cost Trade-off Problem
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
We investigate a stochastic Discrete Time/Cost Trade-off Problem. This multimode project scheduling problem, requires assigning modes to activities, and scheduling the activities so that the sum of the activities cost and ...
Modeling of Surface Roughness in Turning Operation Using Extreme Learning Machine
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Prediction model allows the machinist to determine the values of the cutting performance before machining. According to the literature, various modeling techniques have been investigated and applied to predict the cutting ...

Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Background and Purpose Problem-solving and creativity skills are a set of skills that are highly looked for in today's engineers. Globalization and the rapid pace of technology growth, including awareness on sustainability, ...
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 ...
Culture of PC12 neuronal cells in GelMA hydrogel for brain tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Restoration of brain functions following trauma or degenerative neural diseases is considered among the greatest challenges in neurology due to the fact that the central nervous system (CNS) does not regenerate on its own. ...
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 ...
Experimental studies and computer modeling of viscoelastic properties of heart valve leaflets: Implication in heart valve tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Diseased or damaged heart valve leaflets are amongst the major causes of illness and death globally. The currently available treatment of heart valve patients is to mend the damaged valves, but in most severe cases, heart ...
