Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUsing Linear Chouquet Integral Algorithm to Design Optimal Time-Cost Model in Large Construction ProjectsHamid Jafari Nia, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Hamidreza BabaaliNowadays, the problem of scheduling and executing projects with the least cost and time has become one of the main concerns of project managers. In this regard, researchers have used different methods and patterns. One of these methods is to use concurrent engineering in projects. Simultaneous engineering means the creation of a project schedule for projects based on existing units … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 18 Nov 2020 · 6,686 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimal Subsurface Appraisal: A Key Link to the Success of Development Projects-Few ExamplesVirendra Singh, Ivan Yemez, Elena Izaguirre, Alvaro RaceroDuring exploration and production phases, the life of a hydrocarbon field can be distinguished by five main stages: Exploration, appraisal, development, production and abandonment. Of particular interest is the appraisal stage, where billions of dollars are spent across the oil and gas industry on data gathering activities with a view to reducing subsurface uncertainties towards optimizing reservoir development and management. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 13 Jan 2017 · 8,516 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnalysis and Optimization of Carbon Dioxide Emission Mitigation Options in the Cement IndustryMohammed Ba-Shammakh, Hernane Caruso, Ali Elkamel et al.The cement industry is responsible for approximately 5% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions emitting nearly 900 kg of CO2 for every 1000 kg of cement produced. Effective control strategies to mitigate these emissions are discussed and a mathematical programming model able to suggest the best cost effective strategy is outlined. Control costs consisting of operating and investment costs along … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,387 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimal Planning and Design of an Environmentally Friendly Hybrid Energy System for Rural Electrification in IraqAli Saleh Aziz, Sara Ahmed KhudhierCurrent power systems create environmental effects because of the using of fossil fuels, specially coal, since CO2 is released to the atmosphere. Contrary to conventional energy sources, renewable energy sources produce a clean energy which is in general free of pollution, environmentally sustainable and technologically efficient. There is an increased interest in solar energy that can generate electricity with no … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2017 · 7,803 accessesView PDF Cite
