Satellite image processing is a manually tedious job and offers scope for automation as part of the information extraction process from satellite images. The involves object detection one challenges ascertaining minimum number images required to train deep learning model achieve certain accuracy. To best authors’ knowledge, work in missile site relatively limited, with an existing exploration l...

This contribution describes a general mixed-integer linear programming model based on a time-indexed formulation covering the relevant features required for the complete supply chain management of a multi-site production network. While the actual application is taken from the chemical industry, the model provides a starting point for many applications in the chemical process industry, food or c...

This paper presents a comprehensive methodology for the fitting of site charge models to molecular electrostatic fields computed using quantum mechanical calculations. Charges may be placed both at atomic positions and at “satellite” positions associated with selected atoms. The positions of these satellites is also optimised. Molecular symmetry is taken into account for the determination of ph...

To test the hypothesis that palatal bone is able to support miniscrews when subjected to forces generatedduring orthodontic treatment. Finite element method software ANSYS10.0 was used. Tests were done in a state of osseointegration and non osseointegration. Two different palatal regions i.e. one layer of cortical bone and underlying trabecular bone; & two layers of cortical bone with trabecula...

In the assessment of diagnostic criteria for the metabolic syndrome, much work, including ours (1), has been done to identify an optimal cutoff value for waist circumference, i.e., one that best predicts the clustering of metabolic risk factors. By contrast, little attention has been paid to the waist circumference site to be measured and its impact on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, alth...

Adaptive Web sites have been extensively studied as the Internet and Web sites continuously grow. Based on Web usage mining, most of these studies focus on providing assistance to users instead of optimizing the Web site itself. This study proposes 0–1 programming models for reorganizing Web sites based on the cohesion between Web pages obtained by Web usage mining. Additionally, the proposed m...

The new emerging area of Enterprise Wide Optimization (EWO) has focused the attention in effectively solving the combined producion/distribution scheduling problem. The importance of logistic activities performed in multi-site environments comes from the relative magnitude f the associated transportation costs and the good chance of getting large savings on such expenses. This paper first devel...

Yield mapping of crops obtained by harvest with a combine equipped with yield metering device and GPS positioning system, has in recent years, become an important tool in crop management. With respect to nitrogen fertilisation, it is now technically possible to change practices from uniform application to differentiated, site-specific application. The presentation introduces and discusses a met...
