Thermoluminescence characterization of Ag-doped Li2B4O7 single crystal materials
(Luminescence, 2017)
In this study, the thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of Ag-doped and undoped lithium tetraborate (Li2B4O7, LTB) materials, grown using the Czochralski method, were reported. The TL properties of LTB:Ag, such as glow ...
Erratum to: Improved Complexity Analysis of Full Nesterov–Todd Step Feasible Interior-Point Method for Symmetric Optimization (Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, (2015), 166, 2, (588-604), 10.1007/s10957-014-0696-2)
(Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, 2017)
We correct a typo in [1, Corollary 3.1] and an error in the proof of [1, Lemma 2.3]. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
An adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system for estimating the duration of medical services: A case study
(Application of Information and Communication Technologies, AICT 2016 - Conference Proceedings, 2017)
The aim of this study is twofold. First one is to derive a feasible numerical prediction model for the duration of medical services in a medical institution that could be used by the hospital management within their quality ...
Variable block insertion heuristic for the quadratic assignment problem
(2017 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2017 - Proceedings, 2017)
The aim of this paper is to apply the variable block insertion heuristic (VBIH) algorithm recently proposed in the literature for solving the quadratic assignment problem (QAP). The VBIH algorithm is concerned with making ...
Photovoltaic system assessment for a school building
(International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2017)
The installation of photovoltaic panels (PVs) on the roof of residential and commercial buildings is getting widespread as these areas stand normally idle and can be used for another purpose without losing an inhabited ...
Design of rectangular façade modules through computational intelligence
(2017 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2017 - Proceedings, 2017)
This paper presents an implementation of multiobjective optimization for a rectangular façade design proposal in a healthcare building's common space. Objectives are to maximize daylight performance and to minimize façade ...
Design of multi-product multi-period two-echelon supply chain network to minimize bullwhip effect through differential evolution
(2017 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2017 - Proceedings, 2017)
A supply chain network consists of facilities located in dispersed geographical locations. This network structure can be optimized to minimize total cost or total inventory by deciding the order quantities and distribution ...
Multi-Objective skylight optimization for a healthcare facility foyer space
(2017 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2017 - Proceedings, 2017)
In this paper, the design of a specific case study of a foyer space is concerned in healthcare facility. The design task of a healthcare facility in architectural perspective is one of the most challenging tasks in the ...
Quality function deployment application for improving quality of education in business schools
(Journal of Education for Business, 2017)
There is an increasing competition between universities globally to attract students. At this point, to compete, it is imperative for the universities to improve the quality of education provided for their stakeholders, ...
A variable block insertion heuristic for permutation flowshops with makespan criterion
(2017 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2017 - Proceedings, 2017)
This paper proposes a populated variable block insertion heuristic (PVBIH) algorithm for solving the permutation flowshop scheduling problem with the makespan criterion. The PVBIH algorithm starts with a minimum block size ...
