The cumulative resource constraints of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) do not treat the resource demands as geometric rectangles, that is, activities are not necessarily assigned to the same resource units over their processing times. In spite of this fact, most papers on resource-constrained project scheduling mainly in the motivation phase use a strip packing of re...

There are many ways to pack, and arrange, filaments in space. The packing can be quantified in terms of how much filament length is contained in a typical unit of volume. How something is “arranged” is harder to define, but one can think in terms of systems that are random as opposed to those that have some kinds of regularity. We identify three fundamental regimes of packing (linear, laminar, ...

pomegranate is an important iranian-native fruit, with many varieties cultivated. although the volume of data on the importance of pomegranates in human nutrition has increased tremendously in the last years, the physical properties of the pomegranate fruit during fruit maturity have not yet been studied in detail. thus, the present study aimed to evaluate changes in physical characteristics of...

high nutritional value and existence of bioactive components in sesame seeds converted it to a valuable food. one of the methods to increase per capita consumption is processing of sesame with different ways such as production of sesame milk. in this study, the effect of blanching time (0 as a control sample, 15 and 30 min) at 95°c and roasting temperature (0 as a control sample and 145°c) for ...
