Biocompatible and hard coated surface of 316L steel can be synthesized using the carbon nanotubes (CNT) suspended-EDM process. This research focuses on the influence of CNT on the treated 316L steel properties for the biomedical application and develops a relationship between the process...

We propose two alternative mathematical modeling approaches for the problem of finding a preemptive schedule that minimizes the total cost of tardiness for a set of jobs on a single processor under variable workload requirements. The first model follows from the conventional scheduling approach...
