Particle size is a physical property that sometimes limits the quality of briquettes, so it recommended to use different sizes in mixtures for their manufacture. The objective this research was evaluate effect particle sawdust on some physical, mechanical, and energetic properties briquettes made from Pinus durangensis sawdust, as well set ranges within appropriate values found obtain desired v...

This study develops mathematical models for obtaining optimum flexural strengths of normal laterised(NLC) and high strength laterised concretes (HSLC). The can be expressly used to evaluate the indirect tensile both types without going through traditional methods mix design. Optimum mixing ratios predicted are also supplied by models. three point load method was adopted testing strengths. Later...

Transdermal patch is drug delivery system that pasted through the skin. These preparations can provide a constant release, easy to use, reduce frequency of administration, eliminate first-pass metabolism, and side effects such as gastric irritation improve patient compliance. Blue pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) contains flavonoid compounds have anti-inflammatory activity. This study aims obtain opt...

In this paper a hybrid algorithm based on exploration power of the Genetic algorithms and exploitation capability of Nelder Mead simplex is presented for global optimization of multi-variable functions. Some modifications are imposed on genetic algorithm to improve its capability and efficiency while being hybridized with Simplex method. Benchmark test examples of structural optimization with a...

objective herpes simplex virus (hsv), one of the most common sexually transmitted disease is a worldwide .this study aimed to prevalence of herpes simplex virus of pregnancy in iran. methods: we searched pubmed, scopus, ovid, science direct and national databases were searched: magiran, iranmedex and science information database (sid) up to october 2015.eventually, we included five studies that...

Cutting planes are one of the main techniques currently used to solve large-scale MixedInteger Linear Programming (MIP) models. Many important cuts used in practice, such as Gomory Mixed-Integer (GMI) cuts, are obtained by solving the linear relaxation of the MIP, extracting a single row of the simplex tableau, then applying integrality arguments to it. A natural extension, which has received r...

we show that the lattice of all ideals of a ring $r$ can be embedded in the lattice of all its fuzzyideals in uncountably many ways. for this purpose, we introduce the concept of the generalizedcharacteristic function $chi _{s}^{r} (a)$ of a subset $a$ of a ring $r$ forfixed $r , sin [0,1] $ and show that $a$ is an ideal of $r$ if, and only if, its generalizedcharacteristic function $chi _{s}^{...

In this paper, we present a new framework for improving soil strength using an advanced method of engineering statistics. The materials included clay till collected in Yttre Ringvägen, southern Sweden. Binders quicklime, slag and ordinary Portland cement used as pure binders blended mixtures. We first applied the Response Surface Methodology techniques aimed at binder blend optimisation: 1) Cen...

Simplex lattice design was used to 15 sponge cakes formulations combining pea (PP), hemp (HP) and insect (IP) flours representing 15% of dough composition. Moisture, protein content, baking loss, specific volume, texture cost the samples plus control (0% added protein) were analysed. Results showed that effect PP, HP IP on cake properties could be modelled with linear regressions (96.80% < R 2 ...

In this paper, an efficient extension of network simplex algorithm is presented. In static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. In this paper, the Static Scheduling problem of Automated Guided Vehicles in container terminal is solved by Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA) and NSA+, which extended the stand...
