Integrating simulation and optimization to schedule loading operations in container terminals

In this communication, we strive to apply a novel simulated annealing to consider scheduling hybrid flowshop problems to minimize both total completion time and total tardiness. To narrow the gap between the theory and the practice of the hybrid flowshop scheduling, we integrate two realistic and practical assumptions which are sequence-dependent setup and transportation times into our problem. We apply a metaheuristic based on simulated annealing (SA) which strikes a compromise between intensification and diversification mechanisms to augment the competitive performance of our proposed SA. A comprehensive calibration of different parameters and operators are done. We employ Taguchi method to select the optimum parameters with the least possible number of experiments. For the purpose of performance evaluation of our proposed algorithm, we generate a benchmark against which the adaptations of high performing algorithms in the literature are brought into comparison. Moreover, we investigate the impacts of increase of number of jobs on the performance of our algorithm. The efficiency and effectiveness of our hybrid simulated annealing are inferred from all the computational results obtained in various situations.

Averaging Area of Incident Power Density for Human Exposure from Patch Antenna Arrays

The three-dimensional bin packing problem (3DBPP) is orthogonally to pack a given set of rectangular-shaped items into the minimum number of three-dimensional rectangular bins. It is formulated as a mixed integer program (MIP) that can solve small-sized instances to optimum. For large scale of instances, a composite algorithm, aimed at solving the 3DBPP with several practical constraints, is proposed and evaluated by the lower bound and the test instances available on website. It should be noted that although the computational tests are conducted for the 3DBPP with identical bins, the proposed approach is designed for a general case with heterogeneous bins.

Performance Evaluation on RSSI-Based Wireless Capsule Endoscope Location Tracking with Particle Filter

IEEE C95.1 (radio frequency) and C95.6 (low frequency) standards for human protection from electromagnetic fields are currently under revision. In the next revision, they will be combined into one standard covering the frequency range from 0 Hz to 300 GHz. Although the C95.1 standard considers anatomical human models for deriving the relationship between internal and external field strengths, homogeneous ellipses are used in the C95.6 standard. In the guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, anatomical human models are used together with reduction factors to account for numerical uncertainty. It is worth revisiting their relationship when using different anatomical models. In this paper, five research groups performed a comparative study to update the state-of-the-art knowledge of in situ electric fields in anatomical human models when exposed to uniform low-frequency magnetic fields. The main goals were to clarify both numerical uncertainty and model variability. The computational results suggest a high consistency among in situ field strengths across laboratories; agreement in the 99th percentile with a discrepancy of under 5% was achieved. The in situ electric fields varied as expected given the models’ different dimensions. The induction factor, which is the ratio of the in situ electric fields for the temporal derivative of the external magnetic flux density, is derived for body parts and tissues. The classification of body parts into “the limb” and “other tissues” is shown to be critical for determining the in situ field strength.
