Irreversible thermal inactivation and conformational lock of alpha glucosidase
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2021 , Article)In the present work, we studied the structure-activity relationship and kinetics of thermal inactivation of �-glucosidase A (AglA) in a 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer at pH 6.8 using p-nitrophenyl �-d-glucopyranoside ... -
Minimizing the total completion time in a two-machine flowshop problem with time delays
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)This article proposes to solve the problem of minimizing the total completion time in a two-machine permutation flowshop environment in which time delays between the machines are considered. For this purpose, an enumeration ... -
Monitoring and control of beta-distributed multistage production processes
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Multistage statistical process control (SPC) is an effective procedure for ensuring quality of products in multistage manufacturing processes. Effective SPC approaches for monitoring and controlling quality in multistage ... -
Monitoring multistage processes with autocorrelated observations
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)In multistage manufacturing processes, autocorrelations within stages over time are prevalent and the classical control charts are often ineffective in monitoring such processes. In this paper, we derive a linear state ... -
Multivariate statistical process control charts based on the approximate sequential ?2 test
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2014 , Article)Similar to the univariate CUSUM chart, a multivariate CUSUM (MCUSUM) chart can be designed to detect a particular size of the mean shift optimally based on the scheme of a sequential likelihood ratio test for the noncentrality ... -
Nanoporous iron oxide nanoparticle: hydrothermal fabrication, human serum albumin interaction and potential antibacterial effects
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2021 , Article)Nanoporous iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NIONPs) have been widely used as promising agents in biomedical applications. Herein, the NIONPs were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method and well-characterized by FESEM ... -
New characteristics of optimal solutions for the two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)The two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers with the objective of minimising the makespan (F2||Cmax) is addressed. Johnson’s algorithm finds optimal solutions (permutations) to this problem, but are not necessarily ... -
Nonlinear vibrations of variable thickness curved panels made of multi-scale epoxy/fiberglass/CNT material using Jacobi elliptic functions
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article)This article deals with nonlinear vibration study of variable thickness cylindrical panels made of multi-scale composite materials containing epoxy matrix, glass fibers, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The elastic properties ... -
Numerical and experimental investigation of corrugated tubes under lateral compression
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)As a common type of energy absorbers, thin-walled structures have been extensively used in crashworthiness application in many industries. The goal of this research is the optimisation of the crushing parameters of corrugated ... -
Optimal design of a district cooling grid: structure, technology integration, and operation
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)The concept of a district cooling grid that allows the integration of several cooling technologies with different availability and supply patterns is introduced. An integrated multi-period optimization model for a district ... -
Parcel delivery by vehicle and drone
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)We investigate a single-vehicle parcel delivery problem in which customers may be served either by the vehicle or by a portable companion drone launched from the vehicle. The problem may be viewed as a Traveling Salesman ... -
Performance investigation of solar photovoltaic panels using mist nozzles cooling system
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2024 , Article)Solar PV has a disadvantage over its many advantages that its electrical efficiency falls due to rise in surface/operating temperature of solar PV cells. Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to mitigate the efficiency ... -
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 ... -
Selection of alternative fuel taxis: a hybridized approach of life cycle sustainability assessment and multi-criteria decision making with neutrosophic sets
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2021 , Article)This study presents a combined application of hybrid life cycle sustainability assessment and multi-criteria decision-making, aiming to further advance an integrated sustainability assessment and decision-making for the ... -
Stochastic Capacity Acquisition and Allocation Model for Bandwidth Brokers under Fuzzy Volume Based Pricing Scheme
