Throughput optimization for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times
( EDP Sciences , 2017 , Article)In this paper, we present a MIP-based heuristic and an effective genetic algorithm for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times (RCPCPT). This problem arises in modern automated manufacturing systems and ... -
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, ... -
Design and verification of a flexible device for steering a tethered capsule endoscope in the stomach
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference)Capsule endoscopy is a good method of gastric cancer diagnosis that has some advantages over conventional endoscopy, such as providing reliable results without substantial discomfort to patients. However, lack of capsule ... -
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 ... -
