Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA STUDY OF FIRST YEAR TERTIARY STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE- CONCEPTUAL AND PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE, LOGICAL THINKING AND CREATIVITYGurudeo Anand Tularam, Kees HulsmanThis study focuses on students in first year environmental science degree programs where traditionally mathematical emphasis has been much less than the strict science or math majors. The importance now placed in applied mathematics means that students need to gain more conceptual and quantitative knowledge in not only the environmental degree programs but also in most if not all non-mathematical … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2013 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Scheduling for Cloud Reliability using Transportation ProblemS. K. Senthil Kumar, P. BalasubramanieProblem statement: Cloud is purely a dynamic environment and the existing task scheduling algorithms are mostly static and considered various parameters like time, cost, make span, speed, scalability, throughput, resource utilization, scheduling success rate and so on. Available scheduling algorithms are mostly heuristic in nature and more complex, time consuming and does not consider reliability and availability of the cloud … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 23 Aug 2012 · 8,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOR/MS Applications in Mt. Merapi Disaster ManagementAmril Aman, Toni Bakhtiar, Farida Hanum, Prapto Tri SupriyoProblem statement: Much of researches on the management of disaster deal with their social aspects such as sociological and psychological effects on communities. Recently there had been a growing credit of the demand for application of the operational research and management science matters in disaster management. This approach commonly utilizes decision theory, dynamical system and optimization technique to minimize the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2012 · 7,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Electricity Planning Comprise Renewable Energy and Feed-In TariffHo Wai Shin, Haslenda HashimProblem statement: Mitigation of global warming and energy crisis has called upon the need of an efficient tool for electricity planning. This study thus presents an electricity planning tool that incorporates RE with Feed in-Tariff (FiT) for various sources of Renewable Energy (RE) to minimize grid-connected electricity generation cost as well as to satisfy nominal electricity demand and CO2 emission … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2012 · 8,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeriodic Review Probabilistic Multi-Item Inventory System with Zero Lead Time under Constraint and Varying Holding CostNaglaa Hassan El-SodanyProblem statement: This study treats the probabilistic safety stock n-items inventory system having varying holding cost and zero lead-time subject to linear constraint. Approach: The expected total cost is composed of three components: the average purchase cost; the expected order cost and the expected holding cost. Results: The policy variables for this model are the number of periods N*r and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 7,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Predictability of Risk Box Approach by Genetic Programming Method for Bankruptcy PredictionAlireza Bahiraie, Noor Akma bt Ibrahim, A. K.M. AzharProblem statement: Theoretical based data representation is an important tool for model selection and interpretations in bankruptcy analysis since the numerical representation are much less transparent. Some methodological problems concerning financial ratios such as non-proportionality, non-asymetricity, non-scalicity are solved in this study and we presented a complementary technique for empirical analysis of financial ratios and bankruptcy risk. Approach: This study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBenders' Decomposition Based Heuristics for Large-Scale Dynamic Quadratic Assignment ProblemsSirirat Muenvanichakul, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: Dynamic Quadratic Assignment Problem (DQAP) is NP hard problem. Benders decomposition based heuristics method is applied to the equivalent mixed-integer linear programming problem of the original DQAP. Approach: Approximate Benders Decomposition (ABD) generates the ensemble of a subset of feasible layout for Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) to determine the sub-optimal optimal solution. A Trust-Region Constraint (TRC) for the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,681 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Mathematical Modeling Approaches for Integrating Production and Transportation Decisions in the Process IndustryMohamed K. Omar, A. AjithaIn this study we focus on coordination of the production planning of finished products and intermediate products in the process industry. The problem consists of two manufacturing facilities with similar production environment, one producing the intermediates and the other producing end products that are separated by a distance. There is transportation between the facilities. The problem considered has been formulated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLossless Compression Using LFSRsR. Muthiah, K. Neelakantan, Somi SebastianWhile lossy compression techniques are used for images, sound. where feature reproduction is more important than the actual data, it is necessary to use lossless compression for certain files containing data, programmes. Lossless compression techniques are not as effective as lossy ones and usually require a lot of computation for both compression and decompression. We presented a novel lossless compression … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Integrated Production Scheduling System in the Process IndustryMohamed K. Omar, Yasothei A.P. Suppiah, Siew C. TeoThis study introduces a three-level hierarchical production planning and scheduling approach developed and implemented in a resin factory. Our approach proposes at the first level a mixed-integer linear programming for solving the aggregate planning model. At the second level, a weighted-integer goal-programming model is developed to disaggregate the developed aggregate plans. A sequencing algorithm is developed for the third level … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
