We consider an extension of the capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), known as the Vehicle Routing Problem with Backhauls (VRPB), in which the set of customers is partitioned into two subsets: Linehaul and Backhaul customers. Each Linehaul customer requires the delivery of a given quantity of product from the depot, whereas a given quantity of product must be picked up from each Backhaul c...

Inland transportation of containers contributes significantly to the total cost container intermodal transportation. For this reason, it has received a lot attention in last few decades. While there are many reports attempts solve problem out there, variants considered all simpler than form addressed paper. Here, we consider where pick-up and delivery orders, empty loaded containers, Discharge ...

Smart cities make use of a variety smart technology to improve societies in better ways. Such intelligent technologies, on the other hand, pose significant concerns terms power usage and emission carbons. The suggested study is focused technological networks for big data-driven systems. With support software-defined transportation-aided multicast routing system suggested. By using public transp...

Research of travel distance on single - depot position in warehouse is tremendous. This study focuses more the effect two-depot order picking problem (OPP) by using concept traveling salesman (TSP) and exact method – Branch Bound (B\&B) algorithm. The total one-depot shorter than for double block warehouses difference less 5%. also compared with approximate methods SA TS which show that dif...

BACKGROUND Noncompliance is a major problem for patients with a psychotic disorder. Two important risk factors for noncompliance that have a severe negative impact on treatment outcomes are impaired illness insight and lack of motivation. Our cross-sectional study explored how they are related to each other and their compliance with depot medication. METHODS Interviews were conducted in 169 o...

Clustering of retail stores in a distribution network with specific geographical limits plays an important and effective role in distribution and transportation costs reduction. In this paper, the relevant data and information for an established automotive spare-parts distribution and after-sales services company (ISACO) for a 3-year period have been analyzed. With respect to the diversity and ...

In contrast to the classical location-allocation models, the location-routing problem (LRP) integrates vehicle routing and scheduling aspects in the location planning process. A survey and classification scheme of location-routing is e.g. proposed by [3] and [2]. This paper presents a LRP of a company which distributes finished cars. This LRP is decomposed into two steps. In the first step a se...

Long protocol of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone-analougue (GnRH-a) can result in the formation of ovarian cyst by the transient initial stimulatory effect which increases the levels of both follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These cysts require surgical drainage or result in poor ovarian response. Ovarian cyst formation can be prevented by taking oral contraceptive...
