Beyond Good Intentions: A Dual‐Model Analysis of Youth Workforce Sustainability in Depopulating Tourism Regions

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Population decline and aging pose growing challenges to economic vitality and labor market sustainability, particularly in remote regions. In Japan, national park‐related municipalities increasingly rely on tourism as a strategy for regional revitalization, yet attracting young residents to participate in the local tourism workforce remains a ...

A Heuristic-Based Evolutionary Approach for Joint Optimization of Job Shop Scheduling and Facility Layout

open access: yesIEEE Access
Job shop scheduling (JSS) aims to arrange the processing sequence of a series of operations to optimize the cost objective. The most common objective is to minimize the makespan without considering the flow time of materials between machines. However, in

Learning dispatching rules via an association rule mining approach

open access: yes, 2018
This thesis proposes a new idea using association rule mining-based approach for discovering dispatching rules in production data. Decision trees have previously been used for the same purpose of finding dispatching rules. However, the nature of the decision tree as a classification method may cause incomplete discovery of dispatching rules, which can ...

Preliminary Study on Unit Commitment for Renewable Energy Integration Considering Operation Cost and Life Cycle Assessment

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
Most countries, including Japan, are focused on achieving net‐zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, which requires quick action. Despite the increasing level of renewable power generation in power grids, fossil fuel power plants still have a significant role in producing GHG emissions, causing serious environmental issues.

Decentralized Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy for Voltage Regulation by Charging Shifting and Reactive Power Control in Distribution System

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a decentralized electric vehicle (EV) charging control method designed to clear voltage violations in distribution grids with high EV penetration, while considering consumer convenience. The concentration of EV charging demand can cause localized voltage violations, posing a significant challenge to grid operation.
