This paper presents a new approach to solve the short-term unit commitment problem using genetic algorithm-based simulated annealing method for utility system. The objective of this paper is to find the generation scheduling such that the total operating cost can be minimised when subjected to a...

A major cause of deforestation in Lao PDR is associated with commercial timber harvesting. While there exists a legal timber industry, timber harvesting in Laos is often illegal. Little information is available regarding the illegal Lao timber industry. However, it would appear that both illegal...

The profitability of momentum portfolios in the equity markets is derived from the continuation of stock returns over medium time horizons. The empirical evidence of momentum, however, is significantly different across markets around the world. The purpose of this dissertation is to: 1) help...

The application of Visible and Near-Infrared (VIS/NIR) spectroscopy to determine economic adulteration of crabmeat was determined. Crabmeat samples were adulterated in 10% increments according to weight. The adulterants chosen were surimi-based imitation crabmeat, due to its low cost and...

The article discusses the use of genetic algorithms to create agent-based systems for supply chain management.

This study presents a first comparative analysis of Lasso-type (Lasso, adaptive Lasso, elastic net) and heuristic subset selection methods. Although the Lasso has shown success in many situations, it has some limitations. In particular, inconsistent results are obtained for pairwise highly...

This article deals with combined dynamic systems and usage of modern techniques in dealing with these systems, focusing particularly on sampling period design, cyclic processing tasks and related processing algorithms in the combined event management systems using genetic algorithms.

An issue of building a tool orientated to the support of selection process of decision support system (DSS) for the sector of small and medium enterprises is presented in the article. A group method of data handling (GMDH) whose application allows to objectives a search process of required DSS,...

This article describes the development of a web-based dynamic job-shop scheduling system for small and medium enterprises. In large enterprises, scheduling is mainly performed with appropriate technology by human experts; many small and medium enterprises lack the resources to implement such a...
