Infectious waste disposal is a crucial concern in many areas. Not only the obnoxious, but it can also pose vital risk to human health. Disposal of infectious incurs higher costs than general and must abide by stricter regulations. In this paper, formulated as multi-objective optimization model. The objectives encompass economic, social, environmental concerns. To save cost, transshipment facili...

It is with a great significance to discuss the selection model of regional strategic emerging industry. First, the paper uses the fuzzy optimization theory to select the central industry of area as the regional strategic emerging industry and try to optimize the weight’s calculation in the multistage fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to get more accurate results. Then it will do a strategic emergi...

Strategic alliances are widely used in business to obtain the synergy effect and competitive advantage. On the basis of the resource-based view, it can be seen that the valuable resources of firms provide the motivation for entering into strategic alliances. Therefore, the issue of partner selection plays a critical role in the performance of strategic alliances. Although many mathematical prog...

land use planning is the process of allocating different land uses and activities to the special units of land. so we face with two problems of assigning kind of activity and location of it. by considering the role of industries in development, employment and environment, we consider industrial and especially intensive energy industries planning as a multi objective optimization problem. in thi...

this paper is in search of designing the cellular manufacturing systems (cmss) under dynamic and flexible environment. cm is proper for small-to-medium lot production environment that helps the companies to produce variable kind of productions with at least scraps. the most important benefits of cm are decline in material handling, reduction in work-in-process, reduction in set-up time, increme...

This paper was originally submitted to Xinova as a response to a Request for Invention (RFI) on new event monitoring methods. In this paper, a new object tracking algorithm using multiple cameras for surveillance applications is proposed. The proposed system can detect sudden-appearance-changes and occlusions using a hidden Markovian statistical model. The experimental results confirm that our ...

This paper analyzes the convergence of metaheuristics used for multiobjective optimization problems in which the transition probabilities use a uniform mutation rule. We prove that these algorithms converge only if elitism is used.

We examine a key task in biomedical text processing, normalization of disorder mentions. We present a multi-pass sieve approach to this task, which has the advantage of simplicity and modularity. Our approach is evaluated on two datasets, one comprising clinical reports and the other comprising biomedical abstracts, achieving state-of-the-art results.
