Timetabling hub-and-spoke parcel distribution inter-facility network by Ben-Ayed, Omar

“…This problem, which comes after generating the network design and before implementing it, is concerned with parcel timetabling. A non-linear model, composed of the shipping-time objective function and the time-precedence constraints, is developed in order to optimise the daily movements of parcels from their origins to their destinations. …”

Kappa-Distributed Electrons in Solar Outflows: Beam-Plasma Instabilities and Radio Emissions by Lazar, M.

“…The frequency downshift, also revealed by the observations, clearly tends to increase in the presence of a Kappa-distributed beam. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations confirm the inhibiting effects of (initially) Kappa-distributed electrons, but these minor effects in the linear and quasi-linear phases unexpectedly lead to significant decreases in the wave energy levels of the (primary) ES fluctuations near the plasma frequency and higher harmonics. …”

The investigation of treatment design parameters on carbon integration networks by Alnouri, Sabla Y.

“…The cost of the carbon network increases when the solvent temperatures are increased. However, there was a noticeable linear trend at lower temperatures compared to higher temperatures, where the increase became non-linear. …”

Biocorrosion behavior of biodegradable nanocomposite fibers coated layer-by-layer on AM50 magnesium implant by Abdal-hay, Abdalla

“…The corrosion performance of coated and uncoated coupon samples was investigated by means of electrochemical measurements. The results showed that the AJS 3D membrane fiber layers, particularly the hybrid membrane layers containing a small amount of nHA (3wt.%), induce a higher biocorrosion resistance and effectively decrease the initial degradation rate compared with the neat AM50 coupon samples. …”

Spectrofluorometric investigations on the solvent effects on the photocyclization reaction of diclofenac by Abdulilah Dawoud, Bani-Yaseen

“…The solvent effects were qualitatively and quantitatively assessed employing various solvatochromic models, including multi-parameter linear regression analysis (MLRA). Interestingly, the MLRA results (R = 0.99) revealed that the photoconversion rate increases with increasing solvent polarizability (π*) and H-bond donor capability (α), whereas the rate decreases with increasing hydrogen-bond acceptor capability (β). …”
