Giampietro Fabbri; Matteo Greppi

Volume 5, Issue 1 , June 2018, Pages 1-9

https://doi.org/10.22105/jarie.2018.108774.1026

Abstract
  In the present work, an innovative hybrid solar panel is proposed, which can be used to pave floors or to cover roofs. A particular heat sink is employed, which gives robustness to the panel and provides a better heat transfer effectiveness with respect to tube heat exchangers. The geometry of the heat ...  Read More

Residual Lifetime Prediction for Multi-State System Using Control Charts to Monitor Affecting Noise Factor on Deterioration Process

Neda Gol-Ahmadi; Sadigh Raissi

Volume 5, Issue 1 , June 2018, Pages 27-38

https://doi.org/10.22105/jarie.2018.111526.1027

Abstract
  In this research, multi-state complex systems are analyzed in order to measure reliability and predict residual of systems’ lifetime under the effect of an out of control noise factor. Hence, the analytic method helps us to estimate multi-state system reliability, and then means residual lifetime ...  Read More

Research Paper Scheduling
Resource Constrained Project Scheduling with Stochastic Resources

Furkan Uysal; Selçuk Kürşat Işleyen; Cihan Cetinkaya

Volume 5, Issue 1 , June 2018, Pages 39-49

https://doi.org/10.22105/jarie.2018.98906.1019

Abstract
  Despite the dynamic nature of real life scheduling problems, few studies focus on stochastic resource constrained project scheduling problem and its variants. In this study, we consider stochastic resource possibilities and propose a new chance constraint, piecewise-linear and mixed integer programming ...  Read More

A Solution Approach for Solving Fully Fuzzy Quadratic Programming Problems

Nemat Allah Taghi-Nezhad; Fatemeh Taleshian

Volume 5, Issue 1 , June 2018, Pages 50-61

https://doi.org/10.22105/jarie.2018.111797.1028

Abstract
  Quadratic Programming has been widely applied to solve real-world problems. This paper describes a solution method for solving a special class of fuzzy quadratic programming problems with fuzziness in relations. Then the method is generalized to a more general fuzzy quadratic programming problem, where ...  Read More
