a brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. the variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. however, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

in this research, the effect of the first order magnetic field on the ground-state of a centered hydrogenic donor impurity in a gaas/alas spherical quantum dot has been calculated. the perturbation method has been used within the framework of effective mass approximation for these calculations. overall, the analysis shows that a proper choice of quantum dot radius and magnetic field can signifi...

Multi-Point Constructive Search maintains a small set of “elite solutions” that are used to heuristically guide constructive search through periodically restarting search from an elite solution. Empirical results indicate that for job shop scheduling optimization problems and quasi-group completion problems, multi-point constructive search performs significantly better than chronological backtr...

In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to solve multi-objective optimization problems (MOOPs) through applying the trust-region (TR) method based on local search (LS) techniques; where the MOOP converting to a single objective optimization problem (SOOP) by using reference point method. In the proposed algorithm, some of the points in the search space are generated. For each point the TR al...

Comprehensive 3D modeling of our environment requires integration of terrestrial and airborne data, which is collected, preferably, using laser scanning and photogrammetric methods. However, integration of these multi-source data requires accurate relative orientations. In this article, two methods for solving relative orientation problems are presented. The first method includes registration b...
