This paper considers a multi-depot heterogeneous vehicle routing problem (MDHVRP) with time windows, which is very crucial for hazardous materials transportation.For this reason, we formalize this problem as a multi-objective MDHVRP optimization model, where the actual load dependent risk of hazardous materials transportation is considered.To solve
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) are the etiologic agents of AIDS.Most HIV-1 infected individuals worldwide are women, who acquire HIV infections during sexual contact.Blocking HIV mucosal transmission and local spread in the female lower genital tract is important in preventing infection and ultimately eliminating
Nigerian bostik roll-cote government through its various agencies, World Bank, nongovernmental organizations, and even private philanthropists, has recently resorted to committing a lot of resources to training and empowering the youths in various entrepreneurships.This is done with the aim of enhancing creation of jobs, reduction of poverty, and g
In this study, a novel symbolic regression-based empirical equation has been developed to compute the joint roughness coefficient (JRC) value based on the statistical parameters of rock joints.The symbolic regression was adopted Shirt to map the nonlinear function, which represents the relation between the JRC and statistical parameters of the rock
The hybridization of two or more energy sources into a single power station is one of the widely discussed solutions to address the demand and supply havoc generated by renewable production (wind-solar/photovoltaic (PV), heating power, and cooling power) and its energy storage issues.Hybrid energy sources work based on the complementary existence o
