Most of the practical applications that require optimization often involve multiple objectives. These objectives, when conflicting in nature, pose both optimization as well as decision-making challenges. An optimization procedure for such a multi-obj...
This paper aimed to combine hyperspectral imaging (378–1042 nm) and a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to rapidly and non-destructively detect and predict the viability of waxy corn seeds. Different viability levels were set by artifici...
The impacts of Stefan blowing along with slip and Joule heating on hybrid nanofluid (HNF) flow past a shrinking cylinder are investigated in the presence of thermal radiation. Using the suitable transformations, the governing equations are converted...
In this article, we introduce a notion of size for sets, called the thickness, that can be used to guarantee that two Cantor sets intersect (the Gap Lemma) and show a connection among thickness, Schmidt games and patterns. We work mostly in the real...
Finite element analysis (FEA) has been proven as a useful design tool to model corrugated paperboard boxes, and is capable of accurately predicting load capacity. The in-plane deformation, however, is usually significantly underpredicted. To investig...

Current market requirements force manufacturing companies to face production changes more often than ever before. Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) are considered a key enabler in today’s manufacturing industry to cope with such dynami...
Probability distributions are very useful in modeling lifetime datasets. However, no specific distribution is suitable for all kinds of datasets. In this study, the bounded truncated Cauchy power exponential distribution is proposed for modeling data...
This study aims to propose a flexible, fully parametric hazard-based regression model for censored time-to-event data with crossing survival curves. We call it the accelerated hazard (AH) model. The AH model can be written with or without a baseline...
NSGA-II is, by far, the most popular metaheuristic that has been adopted for solving multi-objective optimization problems. However, its most common usage, particularly when dealing with continuous problems, is circumscribed to a standard algorithmic...
The study is devoted to investigating the effect of an unsteady non-Newtonian Casson fluid over a vertical plate. A mathematical analysis is presented for a Casson fluid by taking into consideration Soret and Dufour effects, heat generation, heat rad...
In recent years, the consensus-reaching process of large group decision making has attracted much attention in the research society, especially in emergency environment area. However, the decision information is always limited and inaccurate. The tru...
In this article, we are interested in the behavior of a three-dimensional model of periodic perforated piezoelectric plate, when the thickness h of the plate and the size
Importance sampling is a variance reduction technique that is used to improve the efficiency of Monte Carlo estimation. Importance sampling uses the trick of sampling from a distribution, which is located around the zone of interest of the primary di...
The objective of this paper is to investigate the 3D non-linearly thermally radiated flow of a Jeffrey nanofluid towards a stretchy surface with the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux (CCHF) model in the presence of a convective boundary condition.The...
We propose a new iterative scheme without memory for solving nonlinear equations. The proposed scheme is based on a cubically convergent Hansen–Patrick-type method. The beauty of our techniques is that they work even though the derivative is ve...
The sparrow search algorithm (SSA) is a metaheuristic algorithm developed based on the foraging and anti-predatory behavior of sparrow populations. Compared with other metaheuristic algorithms, SSA also suffers from poor population diversity, has wea...
Guessing effects frequently occur in testing data in educational or psychological applications. Different item response models have been proposed to handle guessing effects in dichotomous test items. However, it has been pointed out in the literature...
In this paper, we study the multi-objective optimization of the viscous boundary condition of an elastic rod using a hybrid method combining a genetic algorithm and simple cell mapping (GA-SCM). The method proceeds with the NSGAII algorithm to seek a...
In this work, we study a capital–labor model by considering the interaction between the new proposed and the confirmed free jobs, the precariat labor force, and the mature labor force by introducing Brownian motion and Lévy noise. Moreov...
It is increasingly necessary to promote means of production that are less polluting and less harmful to the environment following the UN 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Using natural cellular materials in structural applications can be essen...
The focal interest in this article is to investigate the Stefan blowing and Dufour and Soret effects on hybrid nanofluid (HNF) flow towards a stretching cylinder with thermal radiation. The governing equations are converted into ODE by using suitable...
A new mechanism, applied in this study as a biomechanical device, known as a Bioactive Kinetic Screw (BKS) for bone implants is described. The BKS was designed as a bone implant, in which the bone particles, blood, cells, and protein molecules remove...
In recent, various metaheuristic algorithms have shown significant results in control engineering problems; moreover, fuzzy sets (FSs) and theories were frequently used for dynamic parameter adaption in metaheuristic algorithms. The primary reason fo...
The aim in this study was to determine how surging modifies the dynamic behaviour of the cyclonic flow in a hydrocyclone using computational fluid and granular dynamics models. The Volume-of-Fluid model was used to model the air-core formation. Fluid...
