Hybrid Techniques of Genetic Algorithm for Inventory of Auto Industry Model for Deteriorating Ttems with Two Warehouses
No full textIn this Paper Hybrid techniques are the integration of various soft computing techniques that synergizes the strength and weakness of an individual technique with the other therefore the overall performance of such techniques working in unison is increased. A deterministic inventory of Auto industry model has been developed for deteriorating items of Auto industry having a ramp type demand with the effects of inflation with two storage of Auto industry facilities using Genetic Algorithms. Here, we assumed that the inventory of Auto industry holding cost in RW is higher than those in OW. Shortages in inventory of Auto industry are allowed and partially backlogged and it is assumed that the inventory of Auto industry deteriorates over time at a variable deterioration rate using Genetic Algorithms. The effect of inflation of Auto industry has also been considered for various costs associated with the inventory of Auto industry system. Cost minimization technique is using Genetic Algorithms to get the expressions for total cost and other parameters.

The draft genome of Corchorus olitorius cv. JRO-524 (Navin)
No full textHere, we present the draft genome (377.3 Mbp) of Corchorus olitorious cv. JRO-524 (Navin), which is a leading dark jute variety developed from a cross between African (cv. Sudan Green) and indigenous (cv. JRO-632) types. We predicted from the draft genome a total of 57,087 protein-coding genes with annotated functions. We identified a large number of 1765 disease resistance-like and defense response genes in the jute genome. The annotated genes showed the highest sequence similarities with that of Theobroma cacao followed by Gossypium raimondii. Seven chromosome-scale genetically anchored pseudomolecules were constructed with a total size of 8.53 Mbp and used for synteny analyses with the cocoa and cotton genomes. Like other plant species, gypsy and copia retrotransposons were the most abundant classes of repeat elements in jute. The raw data of our study are available in SRA database of NCBI with accession number SRX1506532. The genome sequence has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession LLWS00000000, and the version described in this paper will be the first version (LLWS01000000)

Implementation with evidence
Get PDFWe generalize the canonical problem of Nash implementation by allowing agents to voluntarily provide discriminatory signals, i.e. evidence. Evidence can either take the form of hard information or, more generally, have differential but non-prohibitive costs in different states. In such environments, social choice functions that are not Maskin-monotonic can be implemented. We formulate a more general property, evidence-monotonicity, and show that this is a necessary condition for implementation. Evidence-monotonicity is also sufficient for implementation in economic environments. In some settings, such as when agents have small preferences for honesty, any social choice function is evidence-monotonic. Additional characterizations are obtained for hard evidence. We discuss the relationship between the implementation problem where evidence provision is voluntary and a hypothetical problem where evidence can be chosen by the planner as part of an extended outcome space.Mechanism design, costly signaling, verifiable information, Nash implementation
Aggregate breakdown of nanoparticulate titania
No full textSix nanosized titanium dioxide powders synthesized from a sulfate process were investigated. The targeted end-use of this powder was for a de-NOx catalyst honeycomb monolith. Alteration of synthesis parameters had resulted principally in differences in soluble ion level and specific surface area of the powders. The goal of this investigation was to understand the role of synthesis parameters in the aggregation behavior of these powders. Investigation via scanning electron microscopy of the powders revealed three different aggregation iterations at specific length scales.
Secondary and higher order aggregate strength was investigated via oscillatory stress rheometry as a means of simulating shear conditions encountered during extrusion. G' and G'' were measured as a function of the applied oscillatory stress. Oscillatory rheometry indicated a strong variation as a function of the sulfate level of the particles in the viscoelastic yield strengths. Powder yield stresses ranged from 3.0 Pa to 24.0 Pa of oscillatory stress. Compaction curves to 750 MPa found strong similarities in extrapolated yield point of stage I and II compaction for each of the powders (at approximately 500 MPa) suggesting that the variation in sulfate was greatest above the primary aggregate level. Scanning electron microscopy of samples at different states of shear in oscillatory rheometry confirmed the variation in the linear elastic region and the viscous flow regime.
A technique of this investigation was to approach aggregation via a novel perspective: aggregates are distinguished as being loose open structures that are highly disordered and stochastic in nature. The methodology used was to investigate the shear stresses required to rupture the various aggregation stages encountered and investigate the attempt to realign the now free-flowing constituents comprising the aggregate into a denser configuration. Mercury porosimetry was utilized to measure the pore size of the compact resulting from compaction via dry pressing and tape casting secondary scale aggregates. Mercury porosimetry of tapes cast at 0.85 and 9.09 cm/sec exhibited pore sizes ranging from 200-500 nm suggesting packing of intact micron-sized primary aggregates. Porosimetry further showed that this peak was absent in pressed pellets corroborating arguments of ruptured primary aggregates during compaction to 750 MPa.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 166-170)
Conversaciones con... Paul Philippot. 1 Año 1 (2015) enero-diciembre. Conversasiones con...
No full textEl primer número de Conversaciones a Paul Philippot, cuya pluma clara y elegante ha inspirado a más de una generación de conservadores en el mundo entero, y a quien se le recuerda aún por su paso por México en los comienzos del Centro Churubusco (Coordinación Nacional de Conservación del Patrimonio Cultural), a finales de la década de 1960 e inicios de la de 1970. Autor de numerosos escritos que discurren sobre el desarrollo de la disciplina y las implicaciones de las intervenciones de conservación, así como temas específicos tales como la pátina, la limpieza y la reintegración de lagunas, al igual que numerosos textos fundamentales sobre conservación de pintura mural y sobre escultura policromada, y por último, co-autor de la Carta de Venecia, la elección de alguno de sus textos inéditos en español no era tarea sencilla. Al final, se eligió “L’oeuvre d’art, le temps et la restauration”, publicado originalmente en 1995, en la revista Histoire de l’art, a quien agradecemos la posibilidad de replicar aquí el texto original. Este artículo abarca muchos de los temas que han marcado la producción escrita de Paul Philippot. El título hace eco al tercer capítulo de la Teoría de la Restauración de Cesare Brandi (1963), autor que ha influenciado también de manera decisiva el desarrollo de la conservación en numerosos países, incluido México, y ha profundizado en el análisis y comprensión de muchos otros temas vitales en nuestro campo.- Editorial por Valerie Magar Meurs. - L’oeuvre d’art, le temps et la restauration por Paul Philoppot. - La obra de arte, el tiempo y la restauración por Paul Philoppot. - What is modern conservation?

No full textReforming institutions for service delivery : a framework for development assistance with an application to the health, nutrition, and population portfolio
Get PDFWorld Development Report 1997: The State in a Changing World (report no. 17300) argued that institutions-the rules of the game that govern production and exchange-shape a country's prospects for sustained market-led growth. The author provides an institutional framework for service delivery, an essential component of state capability. He applies this framework to an evaluation of Bank support for service delivery in the health, nutrition, and population sector. He argues for greater institutional pluralism in the ways the World Bank does business in infrastructure, rural, and social sectors, but cautions against making efficient service delivery an issue of"state versus market."The Bank and its clients face the challenge of fitting menus of"better practice"delivery options to maps of institutional reality. In the health, nutrition, and population sector, the Bank should (1) unbundle and categorize essential health and clinical services according to goods characteristics and (2) integrate country knowledge into operations through upstream assessments of state, political, and social institutions. Overall, the Bank has made progress toward a"goods characteristics"approach, particularly in infrastructure and some rural services-but it has lagged in the social sectors, where support remains largely technocratic. Cross-sector comparisons reveal four generations of support for service delivery. First-generation support focused mainly on physical implementation of projects. Second-generation interventions, which characterized most social service interventions, focused on improving the financial and organizational viability of implementing agencies through technical assistance. Third-generation support was marked by significant unbundling of service delivery activities and clearer links to goods characteristics. In irrigation (1982-94), telecommunications (1980s-present), and transport (1990s), the one-size-fits-all monopoly model gave way to a range of options based on greater private sector and citizen participation in delivery. These included leases, concessions, outsourcing, and contracting as well as building, operating, transfer, and turnover schemes. Fourth-generation interventions are works-in-progress and represent efforts to develop new governance arrangements that systematically combine competition, voice, and hierarchy in the design, delivery, and monitoring of Bank projects. The Bank has a poor track record building country knowledge of institutional endowments that affect service delivery. The author identifies concepts and tools valuable for sector specialists'operations.Enterprise Development&Reform,Public Health Promotion,Health Economics&Finance,Decentralization,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Governance Indicators,Poverty Assessment,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Health Economics&Finance
