for many years, researchers have studied high accuracy methods for recognizing the handwriting and achieved many significant improvements. however, an issue that has rarely been studied is the speed of these methods. considering the computer hardware limitations, it is necessary for these methods to run in high speed. one of the methods to increase the processing speed is to use the computer pa...

Drawing on observations and suggestions from scholars of Tibetan Buddhism Mormonism, this article compares the production Book Mormon with that class Buddhist scripture known as gter ma (“Treasure,” pronounced “terma”).2 In brief, both are said to have been authored by ancient religious figures, buried anticipation future discovery, discovered visionaries help supernatural beings, “translated” ...

Nowadays, manufacturing industries are increasing their interest in the energy-efficiency topic, mostly due to major environmental impact of machining activities. Manufacturing processes sustainability can be improved by controlling machine state with energy-efficient control (EEC) policies that switch off/on device. Recently, research demonstrated this approach also applied a workstation compo...

In hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (HFS) with unrelated parallel machines, a set of n jobs are processed on k machines. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for the HFS scheduling problems with unrelated parallel machines has been proposed to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan). Since the problem is shown to be NP-complete, it is necessary to use heuristic methods to ...
