The task of balancing of assembly lines is well-known in mass production system but this problem is NP-hard even for the simple straight line. Therefore, utilizing heuristic methods for these problems is totally unquestionable. Furthermore, in line with balancing problems, heuristic methods are the foundation of the metaheuristic methods, thus it seems to be necessary to use more efficient heur...

Assembly is an NP-Hard problem, which involves comparing fragments that have a time complexity of O(n). This paper presents a parallel approach for sequence assembly. The parallel technique is based on classification to group organisms by similarity rather than an embarrassingly parallel approach that requires duplication of the data across all nodes. This process of classification, based on DN...

Smile line is one of the most important element of the smile esthetics. In an attractive smile, the maxillary anterior incisal curve is parallel to the lower lip. With the changes in face, lips and teeth muscles, which are caused by aging, this element (smile line) also changes. Aging causes smile line to move from its parallel position and in complete smile, formulate different shapes relative...

This paper presents a summary of the results from the simulation of a given two-stages production system which uses JIT. The system consists of an assembly line with two automated assembly cells and two assembly stock points and one manufacturing cell with three manufacturing stock points for storing reserved parts and one receiving stock. Carts with fixed capacity are used for handling the par...

Rapid and deliberate patterning of nanomaterials over a large area is desirable for device manufacturing. We report method meniscus-assisted self-assembly (MASA)-enabled rapid positioning hierarchically assembled dots stripes composed luminescent conjugated polymer two length scales. Periodically arranged poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) polymers, yield dots, punch-holes at microscopic scale via...
