Manufacturing plants are commonly organized in cells containing machines that process different parts of a given product. The Manufacturing Cell Design Problem (MCDP) aims at efficiently organizing the machines into cells in order to increase productivity by minimizing the inter-cell moves of parts. In this paper, we present a new approach based on Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) for solving s...

The neotropical plant, Lantana camara L., introduced as an ornamental plant to several countries, has become invasive weed. It was first reported from Nepal in 1848. About 50 countries have natural enemies for suppression of the India, Nepal’s neighboring country, initiated biological control this weed 1916 and occurrence Lantanophaga pusillidactylus Walker. In a recent survey, Feed future Inte...

Energy is very important nowadays and it has become essential for human life. More amount of energy necessary a community with increased living standards population. This causes an increase in consumption. one the most significant problems across world today; therefore, should be generated at best level. Excessive generation makes countries lose money while less crises. Therefore, need to adjus...

Harrowing is often used to reduce weed competition, generally using a constant intensity across a whole field. The efficacy of weed harrowing in wheat and barley can be optimized, if site-specific conditions of soil, weed infestation and crop growth stage are taken into account. This study aimed to develop and test an algorithm to automatically adjust the harrowing intensity by varying the tine...

Predicting energy consumption has been a substantial topic because of its ability to lessen wastage and establish an acceptable overall operational efficiency. Thus, this research aims at creating meta-heuristic-based method for autonomous simulation heating cooling loads buildings. The developed is envisioned on two tiers, whereas the first tier encompasses use set meta-heuristic algorithms am...

Mile-a-minute weed, Persicaria perfoliata (L.) H. Gross, is an invasive annual vine of Asian origin that has developed extensive monocultures, especially in disturbed open areas in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. A host-specific Asian weevil, Rhinoncomimus latipes Korotyaev, was approved for release in North America in 2004, and weevils have been reared at the New Jersey Departmen...

This paper analyses the potential and limitations of airborne remote sensing systems for detecting crop growth variability and weed infestation within paddocks at specified capture times. The detection of areas of crop growth variability can help farmers become aware of regions within their paddock where they may be experiencing above and below average yields due to changes in soil or managemen...
