this paper presented a mixed integer programming for integrated scheduling and process planning. the presented process plan included some orders with precedence relations similar to multiple traveling salesman problem (mtsp), which was categorized as an np-hard problem. these types of problems are also called advanced planning because of simultaneously determining the appropriate sequence and m...

61 ABSTRACT The congestion in the sensor networks leads to the poor delivery of the data. This causes the heavy loss of data in the sensor network. In order to alleviate this problem, a combination of two algorithms is used in this paper. The algorithms are Active Congestion-less Routing (ACR) and Medium Access Control Enhanced Active Congestion-less Routing (MACR).Both these algorithms used a ...

62, Date Sunday, Jan 27 2002 1:00PM 12:00PM Session D3 Sound Localization Investigations of the Precedence Effect in Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) Micheal L. Dent, Robert J. Dooling The precedence effect has previously been found in mammals, anurans, invertebrates, and one species of bird, the barn owl. Here, the precedence effect was measured in a small parrot, the budgerigar (Melopsit...

A listener in a room is exposed to multiple versions of any acoustical event, coming from many different directions in space. The precedence effect is thought to discount the reflected sounds in the computation of location, so that a listener perceives the source near its true location. According to most auditory theories, the precedence effect is mediated by binaural differences. This report p...

With existing general purpose programming languages, interacting features executed in the same process must be implemented by changing the code of one another [1]. The Feature Language Extensions (FLX) is a set of programming language constructs that enables the programmer to develop interacting features as separate and reusable program modules. Features are integrated and have their interactio...

This paper considers the single machine scheduling problem with precedence constraints and deteriorating jobs. A mathematical model based on binary integer programming (BIP) is developed. By these precedence constraints, jobs can not start before completion of its all predecessors. The represented model is in two steps, in step one the earliest starting time of each job is computed, then the re...
