Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleApplications of Parallel Computing for Facility Location-Transportation Problems for Disaster ResponseChansiri Singhtaun, Suriya NatsupakpongThis study extends the capability and increases the performance of a traditional Branch and Bound (BB) algorithm to solve Facility Location-Transportation problems for Disaster Response (FLTDR) using parallel computing. A Two-Stage Branch and Bound (TBB) algorithm was developed to support two parallel computing approaches. This algorithm divides problems into two small sub-problems, which are a facility location sub-problem and a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Jun 2015 · 6,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFactors Associated with Syringe Sharing Among Users of a Medically Supervised Safer Injecting FacilityEvan Wood, Mark W. Tyndall, Jo-Anne Stoltz et al.Vancouver, Canada recently opened a medically supervised safer injecting facility (SIF) in an effort to reduce HIV and overdose risk and public injection drug use. We sought to examine factors associated with syringe sharing among SIF users. SIF users were randomly recruited into a prospective cohort of SIF users known as the Scientific Evaluation of Supervised Injecting (SEOSI) cohort. We … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,759 accessesView PDFCite

Al HattabApproach: The amount of energy related costs as a portion of the total farm operating cost can be as high as 29% and the continuing increase of the real cost of energy related farm input has been one of the major factors impacting the cost of agricultural production. However, agricultural has the potential of replacing some of the purchased energy … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 5 Jan 2012 · 9,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of Exact Algorithms for Rectilinear Distance Single-Source Capacitated Multi-Facility Weber ProblemsChansiri Singhtaun, Peerayuth CharnsethikulProblem statement: The objective of this study is to develop efficient exact algorithms for a single source capacitated multi-facility location problem with rectilinear distance. This problem is concerned with locating m capacitated facilities in the two dimensional plane to satisfy the demand of n customers with minimum total transportation cost which is proportional to the rectilinear distance between the facilities … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy on the Synergistic Treatment of Soil Fumigation and Biocontrol Bacteria for the Prevention and Control of Root-Knot Nematodes in Facility SoilLijin Qin, Yingmin Hu et al.Years of continuous cropping have led to the inability to cure root-knot nematode disease. In this study, soil fumigation was used before tomato planting to study the decline rate and the effect of root-knot nematode population control after soil fumigation. During the experiment, "Wofengkang" organic sulfur soil fumigant was used. A constant temperature drying oven was used to artificially simulate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 26 Sep 2024 · 4,837 accessesView PDFCite
