In this paper, a robust optimization approach is proposed to design a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (DCMS) under uncertainty of processing time of products. In addition, a mathematical model considering cell formation, inter-cell design and production planning under a dynamic environment (i.e., product mix and demand are changed in each period) is presented. Therefore, reconfiguration b...

The focus of the present paper is on knowledge representation for innovative knowledge processing under especially diicult circumstances. Typical applications are diagnosis and therapy of disturbed dynamic processes like in chemical industries. The process dynamics need to be represented appropriately to support knowledge processing like therapy plan generation, e.g. The present approach has be...

| The need for high dynamic range analog to digital converters (ADCs) is strong due to the growing use of digital signal processing in communications applications. ADC performance has improved over the years due to advances in both design concepts and semiconductor technologies. However most ADCs still still exhibit undesirable distortion in addition to quantization error, thus limiting spuriou...

Reservoir modeling is the process of generating numerical representations of reservoir conditions and properties on the basis of geological, geophysical, and engineering data measured on the Earth’s surface or in depth at a limited number of borehole locations. Therefore, reservoir modeling requires an incorporation of the data from a variety of sources, along with an integration of knowledge a...

Background & Aims: Balance is one of the most essential elements of physical activities and an important factor in sport skills. Vision plays a paramount role in the processing and integrating other sensory inputs for controlling balance and selecting equilibrium strategy. The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of an eight-week core stability training program on balance in blind...

Meeting the needs of people with severe to profound hearing loss places enormous demands on a hearing instrument system. It has to make the most of narrowed residual dynamic range and the hearing instrument needs to accommodate marked individual differences in the optimal amplification strategy for compensating for severe to profound hearing loss. There also must be flexibly adjustable protecti...
