Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeuristic Placement Routines for Two-Dimensional Bin Packing ProblemL. Wong, L. S. LeeProblem statement: Cutting and packing (C and P) problems are optimization problems that are concerned in finding a good arrangement of multiple small items into one or more larger objects. Bin packing problem is a type of C AND P problems. Bin packing problem is an important industrial problem where the general objective is to reduce the production costs by … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,703 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCalculation of Total Cost, Tolerance Based on Taguchi's, Asymmetric Quality Loss Function ApproachR. Sampath Kumar, N. Alagumurthi, R. RameshProblem statement: Current world market force the manufacturing sectors to develop high quality product and process design with minimum possible cost. About 80% of problems in production units may be attributed to 20% of design tolerance causes. While design typically represents the smallest actual cost elements in products (around 5%), it leverages the largest cost influence (around 70%). So design … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMemoryless Modified Symmetric Rank-One Method for Large-Scale Unconstrained OptimizationFarzin Modarres, Malik Abu Hassan, Wah June LeongProblem statement: Memoryless QN methods have been regarded effective techniques for solving large-scale problems that can be considered as one step limited memory QN methods. In this study, we present a scaled memoryless modified Symmetric Rank-One (SR1) algorithm and investigate the numerical performance of the proposed algorithm for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. Approach: The basic idea is to apply … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo-Versions of Conjugate Gradient-Algorithms Based on Conjugacy Conditions for Unconstrained OptimizationAbbas Y. AL-Bayati, A.J. Salim, Khalel K. AbboProblem statement: (CG) algorithms, which we had investigated in this study, were widely used in optimization, especially for large scale optimization problems, because it did not need the storage of any matrix. The purpose of this construction was to find new CG-algorithms suitable for solving large scale optimization problems. Approach: Based on pure conjugacy condition and quadratic convex function two … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Gene Expression Programming and Geographic Information Systems for Solving a Multi Site Land Use Allocation ProblemKhalid A. EldrandalyProblem statement: Land use planning may be defined as the process of allocating different activities or uses to specific units of area within a region. Multi sites Land Use Allocation Problems (MLUA) refer to the problem of allocating more than one land use type in an area. MLUA problem is one of the truly NP Complete (combinatorial optimization) problems. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying Simulated Annealing For Optimal Operation of Multi-Reservoir SystemsF. Khodabakhshi, A. R. Ghirian, N. KhakzadThe need to optimize the operation of water reservoirs is an issue that is becoming increasingly a concern for water resources planners in developing countries. This issue particularly becomes more significant in large systems with multiple reservoirs where operation of one reservoir has an impact on the others. In other word, the set of reservoirs in these systems act like … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Typical Case Study: Solid Waste Management in Petroleum RefineriesJadea S. Alshammari, Fatma K. Gad, Ahmed A.M. Elgibaly, Abdul Rehman KhanThe current environmental concerns have forced developed and developing countries to reduce air, water and land pollution for sustainable growth. Solid refinery waste is cocktail of hydrocarbons, water, heavy metal and fine solids and is substantial in quantity. The principal processes of waste management focus mainly on waste source reduction, reusing, recycling, composting, incineration with or without energy recovery, fuel … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 9,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolid Waste Management in Petroleum RefineriesJadea S. Alshammari, Fatma K. Gad, Ahmed A.M. Elgibaly, Abdul Rehman KhanWaste management became focus of attention of many researchers and scientists in the last half century due to its vital importance. Waste management covered waste source reduction in general, by recycling, reusing, composting, incineration with or without energy recovery, fuel production and land filling. A common approach of waste management models were for specific problems with a limited scope (like … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeuristic Algorithm in Optimal Discrete Structural DesignsAlongkorn Lamom, Thaksin Thepchatri, Wanchai RivepiboonThis study proposes a Heuristic Algorithm for Material Size Selection (HAMSS). It is developed to handle discrete structural optimization problems. The proposed algorithm (HAMSS), Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SA) and the conventional design algorithm obtained from a structural steel design software are studied with three selected examples. The HAMSS, in fact, is the adaptation from the traditional SA. Although the SA … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,347 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization Based Heuristic Approaches for Solving an Integrated One-dimensional Cutting Stock-Transportation ProblemSirirat Wongprakornkul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulIn this work, the integration of the one-dimensional cutting stock problem with multiple cutting facilities and the transportation problem was formulated mathematically as a large-scale discrete optimization problem. Benders partitioning approach and the column-generation technique with the direct method and the proposed heuristic method for solving corresponding integer programming (IP) were developed into three approaches and were used to solve … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,744 accessesView PDFCite
