Increasing Food Availability by Reducing Postharvest Losses of Fresh Produce
Qualitative losses (such as loss of caloric and nutritive value, loss of acceptability by consumers, and loss of edibility) are more difficult to measure than quantitative losses of fresh fruits and vegetables. While reduction of quantitative losses is a higher priority than qualitative losses in developing countries, the opposite is true in developed countries where consumer dissatisfaction wi...
متن کاملPublic transport fleet scheduling for minimizing total transfer waiting time
Public transportation has been one of the most important research fields in the two last decades. The purpose of this paper is to create a schedule for public transport fleets such as buses and metro trains with the goal of minimizing the total transfer waiting time. We extend previous research works in the field of transit schedule with considering headways of each route as decision variables....
متن کاملPostharvest Quality and Handling of ‘honeycrisp’ Apples
The juicy texture of ‘Honeycrisp’ has exploded in the Northeast apple market. Grower interest and consumer demand has made this cultivar more readily accepted than most and it continues to increase in popularity. ‘Honeycrisp’ is a bi-color apple and the flesh is cream colored with a juicy crisp texture.

متن کاملMinimizing weighted total earliness, total tardiness and setup costs
A single machine scheduling problem is described which covers earliness costs, tardiness costs and setup costs. Setups are needed whenever a switch is made to a job of another product family. All jobs within the same product family have the same processing time. Besides setup costs also setup times are involved. Idle time is allowed, preemption is not allowed. Both a mixed integer programming f...
متن کاملLong-term Planning of Optimal Placement of Distribution Transformers to Improve Reliability and Power Quality with the Approach of Reducing Costs and Losses
One of the most critical and complex issues in long-term planning of distribution networks is the optimal placement of distribution transformers. In this paper, the optimal placement of distribution transformers was investigated based on a complete and multi-objective function. In the proposed method, location, optimal capacity, and the service area are determined by minimizing costs (investmen...
