Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOPTIMIZING AN ALUMINUM EXTRUSION PROCESSMohammed Ali HajeehMinimizing the amount of scrap generated in an aluminum extrusion process. An optimizing model is constructed in order to select the best cutting patterns of aluminum logs and billets of various sizes and shapes. The model applied to real data obtained from an existing extrusion factory in Kuwait. Results from using the suggested model provided substantial reductions in the amount … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 23 Apr 2013 · 7,635 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Decision Support Approach for the Sustainable Transfer of Energy Technologies under the Kyoto ProtocolCharikleia Karakosta, Haris Doukas, John PsarrasTheoretically, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was introduced in the Kyoto Protocol at COP-3 in December 1997 and has officially been operational since the year 2000, in order to assist the technology transfer of sustainable energy technologies from developed to developing countries so as to support the sustainable development of the host countries. Under the CDM, sustainable development is considered … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,025 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimal Dark Current Reduction in Quantum Well 9 µm GaAs/AlGaAs Infrared Photodetectors with Improved DetectivityShahram Mohammad Nejad, Saeed Olyaee, Maryam PourmahyabadiIn this research, an optimization approach is presented to decrease the dark current in GaAs/AlGaAs QWIPs. The dark current noise is reduced by increasing Al density in barriers, decreasing detector dimensions and increasing the periodic length of the structure. In addition, increasing the number of periods can reduce both the dark current and responsivity. Therefore, devices can be optimally designed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,190 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSolutions to Managing Drought and Reducing DemandsSaeid Eslamian, Saleh Tarkesh Esfahani, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariConserving and saving water during droughts need a special attitude and great attention. Because according to a variety of studies conducted, nowadays our demand and need for water far exceed the amount of water resources available in different areas. As a result, in order to cope with this crisis, it is necessary to use water-recycling systems, reduce demands, employ optimal … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 29 Jul 2020 · 6,977 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOn the Construction and Properties of Lattice-Group Structure in Cartesian Product SpacesDavronbek Malikov, Susmit BagchiThe lattice theory and group algebra have several applications in computing sciences as well as physical sciences. The concept of lattice-group structure is an interesting hybrid algebraic structure having potential applications. In this paper, the algebraic construction of lattice-group structure is formulated and associated algebraic properties are established. The proposed construction considers Cartesian product spaces. The concept of two-dimensional monoid … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 3 Apr 2020 · 7,839 accessesView PDF Cite
