Non-permutation flow shop scheduling problem with preemption-dependent processing time

open access: yesCogent Engineering, 2016
In this paper, the non-permutation flow shop scheduling problem with preemption-dependent processing times is considered. A mixed integer programming formulation is proposed to tackle the problem. The optimization objective considered is the minimization

Language, Otherness, and the Art of Struggle: A Dialogical Reading of the People of Babel

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many have valued the story of Babel for its anthropological insights. However, what these might be has remained contentious. One of the most recent debates has concerned the nature of the people's sin. Where more traditional accounts have accentuated the severity of their actions and the finality of God's retributive response, other ...

Greedy randomized dispatching heuristics for the single machine scheduling problem with quadratic earliness and tardiness penalties [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we present greedy randomized dispatching heuristics for the single machine scheduling problem with quadratic earliness and tardiness costs, and no machine idle time. The several heuristic versions differ, on the one hand, on the strategies

Co‐Benefits of Nutrition Interventions: A Systematic Review

open access: yesObesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Nutrition interventions aim to improve dietary quality and enhance health. They can also result in broader co‐benefits, including social, educational, and environmental outcomes. However, these co‐benefits remain under‐quantified.

Using Instance Statistics to Determine the Lookahead Parameter Value in the ATC Dispatch Rule: Making a good heuristic better [PDF]

open access: yes
The Apparent Tardiness Cost (ATC) heuristic is one of the best performing dispatch rules for the weighted tardiness scheduling problem. This heuristic uses a lookahead parameter whose value must be specified. In this paper we develop a function that maps

Which Thoughts Require Sensory Capacities?

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Is it possible that something—say, an alien, an angel, or an artificial system—thinks without having or ever having had any sensory capacity? If so, what could such a thing think? An extreme nativist view on this issue is that it's possible to think every thought—alternatively, every thinkable thought—without having or having had any sensory ...

Hybrid PSO/DE solution for the earliness/tardiness case of hybrid flow-shop scheduling problem

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper, a hybrid method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution (DE) algorithm is presented to solve the earliness tardiness (E/T) hybrid flow-shop scheduling problem (HFSP). PSO/DE is used to take global optimization.

An Exact Approach to Early/Tardy Scheduling with Release Dates [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we consider the single machine earliness/tardiness scheduling problem with di?erent release dates and no unforced idle time. The problem is decomposed into a weighted earliness subproblem and a weighted tardiness subproblem.
