Successive stories of waste classification and processing system in reducing emission and saving natural resource encourages many developing countries to introduce such system. In this waste collection system, the solid waste is classified at the drop-off centers in communities, transported to...

Problem definition: We investigate the implications of procedurally rational customers on service networks where customers visit multiple stations but can choose the order in which to visit the stations. Self-interested customers populate various service systems, and these customers may not be...

During COVID-19, the air industry has shrunk due to drastically reduced demand and flight bans. Air transport network optimization is significant in fleet routing design, which helps the air company to make a decision to open the new routes while maximizing the profit. We want to study when an...

The dependence of processing route on the microstructure and tensile behavior was analyzed in a V microalloyed Mn-medium steel containing (in mass%) 3.5 Al and 1.2 Si. To obtain four different microstructures, as hot rolled (HR) band was divided in several parts and three of them were submitted...

This research proposed an optimization method using a solution technique based on two well-known techniques, differential evolution and particle swarm optimization, to tackle a multi-visit and multi-period workforce scheduling and routing problem in field service operation of a sugarcane mill...
