a novel mathematical model has been developed to aid the formulation of emulsion explosives. this mathematical model calculated heat of explosion, oxygen balance and raw material cost as a function of explosive ingredients, and the solution of the mathematical model was obtained by a ms excel program. the effects of the different content of nh4no3, nano3, h2o, and span-80 and composite fuel oil...

When trying to model molecular processes, one often comes against the problem of how to compensate between scales. On one hand, there is the fact that observable phenomena occur at the macroscopic scale, and so often times we average out the interactions to get a general equation for our appropriate scale. On the other hand, the microscopic interactions can and do perform interactions with each...

building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. it leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. in numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...

In this Chapter, the main management targets of maritime grids are comprehensively reviewed and several important in book described detail, including (1) navigation task: ship should arrive at destination via scheduled route within a pre-given time-period; (2) energy consumption: achieving task by consuming minimum energy, tasks ships logistic ports; (3) gas emission efficiency: reducing improv...

in this paper, we present a simulated annealing (sa) and a genetic algorithm (ga) based on heuristics for scheduling problem of jobs in virtual cellular manufacturing systems. a virtual manufacturing cell (vmc) is a group of resources that is dedicated to the manufacturing of a part family. although this grouping is not reflected in the physical structure of the manufacturing system, but machin...

this paper presents the formulation and solution of the combinatorial multi-mode resource constrained multi-project scheduling problem. the focus of the proposed method is not on finding a single optimal solution, instead on presenting multiple feasible solutions, with cost and duration information to the project manager. the motivation for developing such an approach is due in part to practica...

chewable ferrous fumarate tablet is the best iron dosage form for children due to better compliance and lower teeth staining compared to the oral drop. because of the different desirable properties of chewable tablets and the opposing effects of fillers on them, the mathematical experimental design was used as the formulation approach. different series of formulations based on single filler (la...
