Projects scheduling by the project portfolio selection, something that has its own complexity and its flexibility, can create different composition of the project portfolio. An integer programming model is formulated for the project portfolio selection and scheduling.Two heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA), are presented to solve the problem. Results of cal...

autoselection is a kind of natural selection, that occurs in reproductive traits by inequality of offspring generation and therefore by virtue of the nature of its genes transmission to next generations. in this study, the effects of autoselection on heritability and selection response in reproductive traits by using univariate stochastic computer simulation in artificial selected and unselecte...
