DRIVING OPTIMUM TRADE-OFF BETWEEN THE BENEFITS AND COSTS OF INTERBASIN WATER TRANSFER PROJECTS
The interbasin water transfer is a remedy to mitigate the negative issues of water shortage in arid and semi-arid regions. In a water transfer project the receiving basin always benefits while, the sending basin may suffer. In this study, the project of interbasin water transfer from Dez water resources system in south-west of Iran to the central part of the contrary is investigated during...
متن کاملAn Optimal Trade-off between Content Freshness and Refresh Cost
Caching is an effective mechanism for reducing bandwidth usage and alleviating server load. However, the use of caching entails a compromise between content freshness and refresh cost. An excessive refresh allows a high degree of content freshness at a greater cost of system resource. Conversely, a deficient refresh inhibits content freshness but saves the cost of resource usages. To address th...
متن کاملOptimal Trade-off Between Energy Efficiency and Average Delay
In wireless networks consisting of sensors and mobile devices, battery power is a severe resource constraint. Energyefficient communication techniques are therefore crucial to the long-term survivability of the network. In communication theory, it is well known that for a bandlimited additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with bandwidth W and onesided noise spectral level N0, the minimum ...
متن کاملMachinery Optimal Layout Design of a Production System with the Aim of Reducing Transportation Costs Using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm
In this study, solutions for machinery layout with the aim of reducing transportation costs will be discussed. To do this, imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA), which is a very complicated and effective meta-heuristic algorithm is introduced. In the offered algorithm, different kinds of machinery layout are considered in single-row as country and then the best possible layout is developed ba...
متن کاملOptimal Spatial Pricing Strategies with Transportation Costs
We consider an optimization problem in a given region Q where an agent has to decide the price p(x) of a product for every x ∈ Q. The customers know the pricing pattern p and may shop at any place y, paying the cost p(y) and additionally a transportation cost c(x, y) for a given transportation cost function c. We will study two models: the first one where the agent operates everywhere on Q and ...
