A simulation-optimization approach for robust aircraft routing
(
Universite de Lorraine
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
To mitigate the impact of unpredictable disruptions, airlines are seeking to pro-actively design schedules that incorporate some robustness features. In this paper, we propose a novel simulation-optimization approach using ...
Effect of Geometrical Parameters on the Performance of Longitudinal Functionally Graded Femoral Prostheses
(2015 , Article)
This study aimed to assess the performance of different longitudinal functionally graded femoral prostheses. This study was also designed to develop an appropriate prosthetic geometric design for longitudinal functionally ...
Comparison between contact and immersion ultrasonic techniques to evaluate longitudinal residual stress in friction stir welding of aluminum plates
(
American Society for Nondestructive Testing
, 2015 , Article)
Ultrasonic stress measurement is a nondestructive technique that has increasingly been employed to evaluate the welding residual stress of different materials. This study compares contact and immersion ultrasonic waves ...
Optimization models for a single-plant District Cooling System
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A District Cooling System (DCS) is an interconnected system encompassing a centralized chiller plant, a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) unit, a piping network, and clusters of consumers' buildings. The main function of a DCS ...
A model for planning locations of temporary distribution facilities for emergency response
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
We propose a network flow model for dynamic selection of temporary distribution facilities and allocation of resources for emergency response planning. The model analyzes the transfer of excess resources between temporary ...
Porcine cholecyst derived extracellular matrix (p-CEM) for reconstruction of full thickness skin wounds in rats
(
Elsevier GmbH
, 2015 , Article)
An acellular cholecyst derived extracellular matrix (p-CEM) of porcine origin was prepared using anionic biological detergent. Healing potential of (p-CEM) was compared with commercially available collagen sheet (b-CS) and ...
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 ...
A framework for developing innovative problem-solving and creativity skills for engineering undergraduates
(
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 ...
