This paper proposes a Pareto-based grouping discrete harmony search algorithm (PGDHS) to solve the multi-objective flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP). Two objectives, namely the maximum completion time (makespan) and the mean of earliness and tardiness, are considered simultaneously. Firstly, two novel heuristics and several existing heuristics are employed to initialize the harmony me...

This paper reports the impacts of spontaneous student grouping to develop young students’ orthographic awareness in the process of learning Chinese characters. A mobile-assisted Chinese character forming game is used to assign each student a Chinese character component on their smartphones through a wireless network. Fifteen Singaporean students, all 3rd graders (10-year-old) studying Chinese a...

Flexible corrugated skins are ideal structures for morphing wings, and the associated load measurements of great significance in structural health monitoring. This paper proposes a novel load-identification method flexible based on improved Fisher discrimination dictionary learning (FDDL). Several fiber Bragg grating sensors pasted skin to monitor multiple crests. The loads different crests cau...

The flexible production of solid wood custom furniture is needed to meet the individual needs market. Based on M Company, this study developed a digital design platform and its key technologies (data extraction integration, part family division, coding technology, model base construction, information interaction, connection) proposed multi-attribute overlapping clustering technology (MOCT) meth...
