Timetable management is a controversial but core administrative activity at tertiary learning institutions, normally saturated with timetabling clashes, resource wastage, and communication breakdowns. This study describe...

Due to the impact of crude oil prices on refinery revenues, the petroleum industry has switched to processing lowcost crude oils. They are blended with high-quality crude oils to feed the crude distillation units (CDUs) ...

INTRODUCTION: The uneven spatiotemporal distribution of electric vehicle (EV) charging demand and the limitations of traditional methods in adapting to dynamic correlations pose significant challenges to charging infrast...

 INTRODUCTION: The frequent occurrence of extreme natural disasters poses severe threats to power grids, necessitating robust emergency communication. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) broadband satellite networks offer a promising...

Pipeline networks are the dominant mode of conveying a wide variety of oil refined products from refineries to distribution terminals. Pipeline infrastructure usually comprises trunk lines serving high-volume, long-haul ...

In the current environment there is a growing need for rapid development of advanced manufacturing technologies. The complexity of such projects requires the integration of work from various technical specialties. If t...

Transit agencies that operate battery-electric buses must carefully manage fast-charging infrastructure to extend daily bus range without degrading on-time performance. To support this need, we propose a mixed-integer li...

Hepatitis B vaccine is effective in producing protection against hepatitis B virus infection in uremic patients, but these patients respond less well than do the healthy. In this study, we vaccinated 29 hemodialysis pati...

This paper includes part of the strategies used to solve a scheduling problem developed for a company that produces flexible packaging, presented in a quite general form though. In this problem it is necessary to schedul...

In Bluetooth networks, devices are organized into small piconets and large scatternets, and each node acts as the role of master, slave or gateway. Due to dynamic topology changes, different bandwidth available and unpre...

In this work, we present an integral scheduling system for non-dedicated clusters, termed CISNE-P, which ensures the performance required by the local applications, while simultaneously allocating cluster resources to pa...

The work carried out in the thesis describes efficient virtual environments management. One of the main contributions is a middleware scheduling optimization based on Grid environments. Being the overall goal to get an o...

Asymmetric or heterogeneous multi-core (AMC) architectures have definite performance, performance per watt and fault tolerance advantages for a wide range of workloads. We propose a 16 core AMC architecture mixing simple...

Evolutionary computation (EC) has been recently recognized as a research field, which studies a new type of algorithms: Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs). These algorithms process populations of solutions as opposed to most ...

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are merely blind search algorithms, which only make use of the relative fitness of solutions, but completely ignore the nature of the problem. Their performance can be improved by using new ...

This thesis observes the emerging trend of convergence of control with computing and communication. By exploiting control and scheduling codesign, we study some practical and open problems in RTCSs from a unique viewpoin...

"The high emissions of greenhouse gases and the impact generated on the environment by human behavior during the last few years has led many governments to decide to promote the use of electric cars for passenger transpo...

Abstract Air-conditioning load forecasting is important for building energy scheduling and control. The task is difficult because load data show clear periodic patterns, and sudden changes caused by events such as holida...

With the advent of the need for interactive systems, the urgent need for time-sharing systems has emerged. Round-robin algorithms have emerged to achieve time-sharing. The degree of performance of time-sharing systems de...

Reliable low-latency delivery over satellite downlinks remains fundamentally constrained by long propagation delays, burst-correlated packet loss, and the limited effectiveness of retransmission-based recovery. Although ...

This study aims to explore the relationship between chronotypes, sleep quality, and anxiety among medical undergraduates, providing valuable insights for academic institutions seeking to enhance student well-being.

Introduction. Metaheuristic algorithms are effective for solving complex power system optimization problems characterized by nonlinearity, multimodality, and high dimensionality. Nature-inspired strategies based on adapt...
