research was conducted during 1999 to 2009 to develop and introduce a new common millet (panicum miliaceum) cultivar suitable for areas with short growing seasons in iran. several common millet populations collected from different locations of iran were evaluated in research farm of seed and plant improvement institute in karaj and based on yield, agronomic traits and tolerance to abiotic stres...

in many real world assembly line systems which the work-piece is of large size more than one worker work on the same work-piece in each station. this type of assembly line is called multi-manned assembly line (mal). in the classical multi-manned assembly line balancing problem (malbp) the objective is to minimize the manpower needed to manufacture one product unit. apart from the manpower, othe...

On the basis of findings from an experiment with 6-year-old children we show a proposal for a cognitive model of representational shifts in learning the number line. The findings from the experiment provide information on number line estimation that is, translating a number to a spatial position on a number line. Though the experiment is a replication of an experiment done by Siegler and Ramani...

The Atlantic Healthcare Collaboration for Innovation and Improvement in Chronic Disease (AHC) Quality Improvement Collaborative (QIC) in Eastern Canada provided an approach to spur system-level reform across multiple health systems for patients and families living with chronic disease. Developed and led by senior executives with a unique governance approach and involving clinical front-line tea...

Line balancing is an effective tool to improve the throughput of assembly line while reducing nonvalue-added activities, cycle time. LB is the problem of assigning operation to workstation along an assembly line, in such a way that assignment is optimal in some sense. This paper mainly focuses on improving overall efficiency of single model assembly line by reducing the non value added activiti...
