Heterogeneities in Polymer Structural and Dynamic Properties in Graphene and Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites: Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The effect of graphene (G) and graphene oxide (GO), used as the nanofiller in polymer nanocomposites (NC), on the structural and dynamic properties of polymer chains, has been studied by means of molecular dynamics (MD) ...
An Integrated Quay Crane Assignment and Scheduling Problem Using Branch-and-Price
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the integrated quay crane assignment and scheduling problem (QCASP). The problem requires determining the assignment of quay cranes to vessels and the scheduling of operations to be performed by ...
Integrated Optimization for Stock Levels and Cross-Training Schemes with Simulation-Based Genetic Algorithm
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
A spare part supply system for repairable spares in a repair shop is modeled as a set of heterogeneous parallel servers that have the ability to repair only certain types of repairables. The proposed model minimizes the ...
Solving a large-scale integrated fleet assignment and crew pairing problem
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Airline schedule planning problems are typically decomposed into smaller problems, which are solved in a sequential manner, due to the complexity of the overall problems. This results in suboptimal solutions as well as ...
Evaluating the Performance of a Newly Developed Carbon Capture Device for Mobile Emission Sources
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, a new carbon capture device that can be carried on-board vehicles has been developed and tested. The developed device uses absorption and adsorption methods of postcombustion CO2 capture. Sodium ...
Synthesis and characterization of electrically conductive poly(aniline-co-3-bromoaniline) nanocomposites
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Poly(aniline-co-3-bromoaniline) copolymers with varying compositions of the monomers have been prepared in this work by copolymerization of aniline and 3-bromoaniline using ammonium persulphate as oxidant. Structure and ...
Stochastic fuzzy multi-objective backbone selection and capacity allocation problem under tax-band pricing policy with different fuzzy operators
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, we investigate a multi-objective optimization problem that a telecom bandwidth broker (BB) faces when acquiring and selling bandwidth in an uncertain market environment in which there exists several backbone ...
Simulation based particle swarm optimization of cross-training policies in spare parts supply systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We study a single location supply system for repairable spare parts. The system consists of a multi-server repair shop and inventory with ready-to-use spare parts. When a failed part is received, a new (or as-good-as-new) ...
Product-service supplier pre-evaluation with modified fuzzy ANP reducing decision information distortion
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
The main challenge of new product-service supplier (PSS) selection is the lack of historical performance information of the suppliers. As one of the most popular techniques in supplier evaluation, the analytic network ...
Corrosion and surface modification on biocompatible metals: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
Corrosion prevention in biomaterials has become crucial particularly to overcome inflammation and allergic reactions caused by the biomaterials' implants towards the human body. When these metal implants contacted with ...
