A Study on Multi-Objective Cutting Plan Using Tabu Search Method

Chen, Ping-jui 29 June 2004 (has links)
Steel construction materials are very common use for factory and high building in nearly years. Generally speaking the steel construction material is refers has the fixed cross section the steel products. Like rolling H, the T section, the light channel steel, the angle steel and so on all are. But their order characteristic for depends on the length order, also can be different regarding the different length its unit weight price. Manages in not the easy situation in the present enterprise, saved the material cost already to change can it be that is often important, All company shall consider for its huge material storage. Regarding the company huge stock information bank system in, frequently the existence permits the material which how long year hasn't used, finally really very is big by the waste treatment regarding company's loss. So material cutting plane is an important work for those fabrication company. A good cutting plane is directly effect the used percentage, material cost, transportation cost, moving efficiency are also an important effects points, Therefore a good combination for cutting plan can obvious lower material cost, also good help for cutting efficiency, The research of Tabu search shall be use to steel construction material combination and becoming an good effective calculation method to reach three purpose as follow: 1.Considers the multi-objective of material fixed number of years, the spillage of material and the material cost, that material best arrangement combination solution or approximate best solution. 2.Develop algorithm for actuality using in materials combination so all fabrication company can use this method to reduce their cost. 3.Collection all remain material and make it together to save moving time. The result showed obtains the solution by the Tabu Search method to be possible the effective reduced material purchase quantity; also remainder centralism also has the very good improvement.

Optimization of patients appointments in chemotherapy treatment unit: heuristic and metaheuristic approaches

Shahnawaz, Sanjana 18 September 2012 (has links)
This research aims to improve the performance of the service of a Chemotherapy Treatment Unit by reducing the waiting time of patients within the unit. In order to fulfill the objective, initially, the chemotherapy treatment unit is deduced as an identical parallel machines scheduling problem with unequal release time and single resource. A mathematical model is developed to generate the optimum schedule. Afterwards, a Tabu search (TS) algorithm is developed. The performance of the TS algorithm is evaluated by comparing results with the mathematical model and the best results of benchmark problems reported in the literature. Later on, an additional resource is considered which converted the problem into a dual resources scheduling problem. Three approaches are proposed to solve this problem; namely, heuristics, a Tabu search algorithm with heuristic (TSHu), and Tabu search algorithm for dual resources (TSD).

Dinaminio draudimų sąrašo taikymas balsavimu grįstuose konkursų vertinimuose / Application of dynamic tabu list to vote-based competition assessments

Paulauskas, Vitalijus 04 August 2011 (has links)
Darbo tikslas - sukurti balsavimu grįstų konkursų vertinimų (pvz. Eurovizijos dainų konkursas, angl. Eurovision Song Contest) internetinę programą, kurioje būtų taikomas dinaminis draudimų sąrašas (tabu list), suteiksiantis galimybę objektyviau vertinti konkurso dalyvius. Su pasirinktais įrankiais buvo sukurta funkcionuojanti internetinė taikomoji programa, skirta Eurovizijos dainų konkursui, kurioje taikomas dinaminis draudimų sąrašas. Darbas yra patalpintas internete šiuo adresu. http://ik.su.lt/~vitpau/. / The aim - to create a voting competition-based assessments (such as the Eurovision Song Contest), an online program, which is a dynamic list of prohibitions (taboo list) which provides an objective assessment of the tenderers. With selected tools were designed for operation of the web application for the Eurovision song contest with a dynamic list of prohibitions. Job are posted online at http://ik.su.lt/~vitpau/.

Ruošinių realizacijos optimizavimo procedūrų sudarymas ir tyrimas / Creation and research optimization of blank realization procedures

Šidla, Donatas 30 May 2004 (has links)
The object of Master Thesis is the creation and research optimization of blank realization procedures. Four main parts comprise the thesis: analysis of the problem, theoretical solutions, research and outcomes, conclusions and recommendations. Optimization methods, their advantages and limitations have been analyzed in the first part. The most appropriate optimization method for problem solving was selected. Designed optimization methods have been presented in the theoretical solutions part: exhaustive search, tabu search and a new one, presented by the author. A program was created for comparison of these methods. In the third part of the thesis outcomes of the research are presented. Designed methods were tested and compared by their routes length, process time, computations duration and other parameters. Conclusions of the thesis and recommendations for implementation of analyzed procedures have been presented in the part of conclusions. Literature in Lithuanian, English was used in preparing the thesis. There are 19 tables and 29 pictures in the thesis.

"Det känns konstigt och onaturligt på något sätt" En kvantitativ studie om hur gymnasieelever benämner könsorganen

Norstedt, Sarah January 2015 (has links)
Syftet med föreliggande uppsats är att försöka ta reda på om det finns neutrala ord för det kvinnliga könsorganet och det manliga könsorganet. Undersökningen behandlar i vilka situationer en viss benämning används och informanternas attityder till olika benämningar. Resultatet av undersökningen visade att 48 % av informanterna inte tycker att det finns ett neutralt ord för att benämna det kvinnliga könsorganet. För benämning av det manliga könsorganet ansåg 29 % av informanterna att det inte finns ett neutralt ord. Resultatet visade också att gymnasieeleverna anpassar sitt språkbruk efter vilken språksituation de befinner sig i. Resultatet visade att de helst använder orden fitta och kuk när de talar med kompisar och orden snopp och fitta när de talar med föräldrar. Till grund för studien ligger en enkät som delades ut till 63 slumpvist utvalda gymnasieelever på två skilda orter. Enkäten bestod av 13 frågor med både öppna och slutna frågor. Undersökningen visade att det vanligaste benämningsordet hos informanterna för det kvinnliga könsorganet är fitta. Informanterna benämner helst det manliga könsorganet med ordet kuk. Man kan även se att informanterna använder betydligt många fler ord för att benämna det kvinnliga könsorganet än för det manliga könsorganet. Alltså kan man utifrån undersökningen se att det är mer problematiskt att benämna det kvinnliga könsorganet än det manliga könsorganet.

O que é tabu numa sociedade pode não ser em outra. Diversas são as formas de identificálos no intuito de evitar o mal que eles causam. Eles refletem a cultura de uma sociedade que, por sua vez, tem uma representação significativa na publicidade. Este estudo se propõe a analisar como os tabus linguísticos são representados nas mensagens publicitárias brasileiras, pois a hipótese é que eles continuam existindo apesar da evolução humana e cultural. Para isso, são identificados os tipos de tabus existentes, como se apresentam na publicidade e o contexto sóciohistórico temporal no qual são inseridos. A pesquisa é de cunho exploratório sob a abordagem da análise do discurso, usando o método qualitativo para a análise. O estudo se baseia nos aportes teóricos de Maingueneau e Reboul sobre os conceitos de discurso, persuasão, retórica e argumentação, de Bakhtin acerca da linguagem erótica e grotesca, e tabu sob a luz das teorias de Guérios e Ullmann. Carvalho, Andrade e Monnerat dão enfoque à linguagem publicitária e Farirclough às mudanças sociais. O corpus se compõe de duas campanhas publicitárias de moteis veiculadas em outdoor e anúncios publicados na revista Nova da Editora Abril, que representam os tipos de tabus em estudo. Os resultados confirmam a hipótese, apesar de toda a evolução humana e principalmente a feminina, que rompeu barreiras fazendo com que muitos tabus fossem quebrados e alguns modificados. Mesmo assim, novos tabus continuam a surgir
