A multi-objective model for multi-production and multi-echelon closed-loop pharmaceutical supply chain considering quality concepts: NSGAII approach
(International Journal of Systems Assurance Engineering and Management, 2017)
Quality of medical and pharmaceutical products has a key role in healthcare systems such as hospitals for better services to patients. This study proposes a comprehensive multi-objective mathematical model in healthcare ...
Microwave assisted synthesis of La1−xCaxMnO3 (x = 0, 0.2 and 0.4): Structural and capacitance properties
(Ceramics International, 2017)
The effect of calcium incorporation on the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the LaMnO3 (LM) perovskites was studied via several techniques. Moreover, a new microwave assisted method was used to synthesize ...
Addressing design preferences via auto-associative connectionist models: Application in sustainable architectural Façade design
(Automation in Construction, 2017)
Truly successful designs are characterized by both satisfaction of design goals and the presence of desirable physical features. Experienced design professionals are able to exercise their cognition to satisfy both aspects ...
Graph-based solution for performance evaluation of shuttle-based storage and retrieval system
(International Journal of Production Research, 2017)
The aim of this study is to provide a graph-based solution for performance evaluation of a new autonomous vehicle-based storage and retrieval system, shuttle-based storage and retrieval system (SBS/RS), under various design ...
Modules and abelian groups with minimal (pure-) projectivity domains
(Journal of Algebra and its Applications, 2017)
In this paper, we give a complete description of the projectively poor abelian groups and prove that there exists a pure projectively poor abelian group. We show that over a commutative Artinian ring every module having a ...
Co-Coatomically Supplemented Modules
(Ukrainian Mathematical Journal, 2017)
It is shown that if a submodule N of M is co-coatomically supplemented and M/N has no maximal submodule, then M is a co-coatomically supplemented module. If a module M is co-coatomically supplemented, then every finitely ...
Adaptive multi-hypar structure
(Architectural Science Review, 2017)
This paper is concerned with developing an adaptive structure that can offer morphologically flexible, structurally effective and architecturally viable solution. For this purpose, a multi-hypar structure serving as an ...
Optimisation and heuristic approaches for assigning inbound containers to outbound carriers
(Maritime Policy and Management, 2017)
Due to economical and/or geographical constraints, most of the time overseas containers cannot be directly shipped to their destinations. These containers visit transhipment ports where they are first unloaded and temporarily ...
Investigating the effect of turbine inlet temperature on the exergetic improvement potential of a small turbojet engine
(2017 8th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, ICMAE 2017, 2017)
This paper analyzes and evaluates exergetic improvement rate (IPex) of the components of a small turbojet engine with various turbine inlet temperatures. The engine consists of an inlet, starter generator, a centrifugal ...
A Reduced Order Modeling Methodology for Steam Turbine Clearance Control Design
(Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 2017)
Finite element models (FEMs) are extensively used in the design optimization of utility scale steam turbines. As an example, by simulating multiple startup scenarios of steam power plants, engineers can obtain turbine ...
