A novel multi-condition multi-objective optimization method that can find Pareto front over a defined condition space is developed using deep reinforcement learning. Unlike the conventional methods which perform optimization at a single condition, the present method learns correlations between...

The implementation of the thermal mass of envelope and intelligent controls to the building is a key solution to improve energy flexibility. This study researched the energy flexibility of PCM-based multi-layer wall (PCMMW) from systematic nature of building design and operation control. A new...

Despite the importance of relying on renewable energy sources, oil-producing countries, especially Iran, encounter numerous risks associated with the generation of such energy sources. The present study investigated the risks in renewable energy in Iran. As the first investigation addressing...

This document proposes an innovative composite indicator to measure and control the performance of production processes. The aim is to provide a tool for controlling the efficiency of the processes, assessed in relation to the number and the impact of occurring "errors", which can take into...

Background: Due to the growing integration between the various logistics entities and other internal operations, packaging management in the automotive industry is becoming increasingly important from the strategic point of view of the logistics operations of automakers. Performance evaluation...
