GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION OF NONLINEAR BLEND-SCHEDULING PROBLEMS

Global Optimization of Nonlinear Blend-Scheduling Problems

The scheduling of gasoline-blending operations is an important problem in the oil refining industry.This problem not only exhibits the combinatorial nature that is intrinsic to scheduling problems, but also non-convex nonlinear behavior, due to the blending of various materials with different quality properties.In this work, a global optimization a

Key Factors Affecting the Deformation and Failure of Surrounding Rock Masses in Large-Scale Underground Powerhouses

The stability of the surrounding rock masses of underground powerhouses is always emphasized during the construction period.With the general trends toward large-scale, complex geological conditions and the rapid construction progress of underground powerhouses, deformation and failure issues of the surrounding rock mass can emerge, putting the safe

Genome-centric resolution of novel microbial lineages in an excavated Centrosaurus dinosaur fossil bone from the Late Cretaceous of North America

Abstract Background Exceptional preservation of endogenous organics such as collagens and blood vessels has been frequently reported in Mesozoic dinosaur fossils.The persistence of these soft tissues in Mesozoic fossil bones has been challenged because of the susceptibility of proteins to degradation and catherine lansfield ombre rainbow clouds eye
