Selection of chemical markers is crucial for the quality control of herbal medicines, including
authentication of genuine species, harvesting the best quality raw materials, evaluation of …

This research studies an application of genetic algorithms for flow shop problems with
makespan as the criterion. We generate a genetic Algorithm (GA) based heuristic for these …

Cassia bark or cortex cinnamomi, the dried stem bark of Cinnamomum cassia Presl. (Lauraceae),
is a popular natural spice and a commonly used herb in traditional Chinese medicine. …

In this study, the healing effects of Centella asiatica water extract (CE) and asiaticoside (AC),
an active constituent of CE, on acetic acid induced gastric ulcers (kissing ulcers) in rats …

This research develops an approach for applying Genetic Algorithms (GA) to scheduling
problems. We generate a GA based heuristic for continuous flow shop problems with total flow …

We examine the complexity of scheduling problems when more than one measure of performance
is appropriate. The criteria we study are maximal tardiness, flowtime, number of tardy …

This paper considers the two-stage bicriteria flow shop scheduling problem with the objective
of minimizing the total flow time subject to obtaining the optimal makespan. In view of the …

This paper proposes several hybrid metaheuristics for the unrelated parallel-machine
scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times given the objective of minimizing the …

Amnesia is characterized by the inability to form memories or total or partial loss of memory
secondary to cerebral malfunction following degenerative diseases, cerebral infections, …

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a popular approach for formalizing the process of
listening to “the voice of the customer,” and assigning responsibilities to members of an …
