We consider a situation in which the manufacturing system is equipped with batch and
discrete processors. Each batch processor can process a batch (limited number) of jobs …

In this study, the physical, thermal and mechanical properties of a novel edible film based
on psyllium hydrocolloid (PH) were investigated. PH films were prepared by incorporation of …

Increasingly shorter product life cycles impel firms to design, develop, and market more

We examine the problem of parallel imports: unauthorized flows of products across countries,
which compete with authorized distribution channels. The traditional economics model of a …

In the present study, the temperature distribution on the surface of workpiece and tool during
a single discharge in the electrical discharge machining process has been simulated using …

Superparamganetic iron oxide-based contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
have offered new possibility for early detection of lymph nodes and their metastases. …

This research addresses two common tools for reducing product development lead times:
overlapping of development stages and crashing of development times. For the first time in the …

Vinyl sulfone with electrophilic character is not only a versatile building block for various
organic transformations but also is a key structural unit in a large number of biologically active …

This paper presents a model predictive-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT)
method for a photovoltaic energy harvesting system based on a single-stage grid-tied Z-source …
