under an intensive competitive environment, the construction industry is facing pressure to meet the higher customer expectations under a tighter budget. on the other hand, construction is one of the main sectors generating greenhouse gases. according to published statistics, construction industry is one of the most important resources of greenhouse emissions in the world. therefore, based on t...

The video game industry has evolved significantly, with different genres becoming popular over time, but how to visualize such information by curating data into a form that makes it easier identify and understand the trends is quite an interesting research topic. This focuses on producing animation of aesthetically pleasing two-dimensional (2D) undirected graphs based PC datasets. are further a...

In this paper, a stochastic programming approach is applied to the airline network revenue management problem. The airline network with the arc capacitated single hub location problem based on complete–star p-hub network is considered. We try to maximize the profit of the transportation company by choosing the best hub locations and network topology, applying revenue management techniques to al...

A genetic algorithm is used to optimize the modified benzene alkylation process. Based on the previous studies, the modified process increases ethylbenzene selectivity and decreases energy consumption at the same time. The inlet ethylene flow rate of each alkylation reactor is optimized in order to reduce the chance of transalkylation reactions but increase ethylbenzene selectivity. The byprodu...

The bankruptcy prediction models have long been proposedas a key subject in finance. The present study, therefore, makes aneffort to examine the corporate bankruptcy prediction through employmentof the genetic algorithm model. Furthermore, it attempts to evaluatethe strategies to overcome the drawbacks of ordinary methods forbankruptcy prediction through application of genetic algorithms. Thesa...

Abstract Introduction: Myocardial Infarction, also known as heart attack, normally occurs due to such causes as smoking, family history, diabetes, and so on. It is recognized as one of the leading causes of death in the world. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the performance of classification models in order to predict Myocardial Infarction, using a feature selection method tha...
