Replacement policies for age and working numbers with random life cycle
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
It has been modeled for several replacement policies in literatures that the whole life cycle or operating interval of an operating unit should be finite rather than infinite as is done with the traditional method. However, ...
ANN Model for Energy Demand and Supply Forecasting in a Hybrid Energy Supply System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents short term demand and supply forecasting model for a microgrid supply system used to secure the electricity demands of a commercial building, using one year demand data collected in hourly base. One-year ...
A combined method to model dynamic recrystallization based on cellular automaton and a phenomenological (CAP) approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Titanium alloys with high stacking-fault energy show continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) instead of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) during high-temperature deformation. During the CDRX mechanism, new ...

(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we discuss the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Gulf region. We examine the importance of providing state-of-the-art ASD interventions, and highlight social robots as therapeutic tools ...
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) ...
Magnetorheological damper with external excitation for more efficient control of vehicles? dynamics
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This article presents a new concept design for magnetorheological dampers, where the excitation circuit and magnetic field are applied from outside the magnetorheological chamber. This magnetorheological damper was designed ...
A branch-and-price algorithm for the two-stage guillotine cutting stock problem
(
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
We investigate the two-stage guillotine two-dimensional cutting stock problem. This problem commonly arises in the industry when small rectangular items need to be cut out of large stock sheets. We propose an integer ...
Microtron Irradiation Induced Tuning of Band Gap and Photoresponse of Al-ZnO Thin Films Synthesized by mSILAR
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
Al-doped polycrystalline nano ZnO (Al-ZnO) thin films with different doping concentrations were successfully prepared by the microwave-assisted successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (mSILAR) technique. The structural ...
