Multiple parts process planning in serial–parallel flexible flow lines: part II—solution method based on genetic algorithms with fixed- and variable-length chromosomes
(
Springer London
, 2015 , Article)
Multiple parts process planning (MPPP) is a hard optimization problem that requires the rigor and intensity of metaheuristic-based algorithms such as simulated annealing and genetic algorithms. In this paper, a solution ...
Wear resistance investigation of titanium nitride-based coatings
(
Elsevier Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
The wear of components while they are in service is a predominant factor controlling the life of machine components. Metal parts are often damaged because of wear-driven failures causing the loss of dimensions and ...

(
OMICS International
, 2012 , Article)
Towards the end of the 20thcentrury, the concept of reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs) rocked the world of manufacturing and promised a global revolution in the 21stcentury manufacturing landscape. Since then, a ...
An Intelligent Hybrid Experimental-Based Deep Learning Algorithm for Tomato-Sorting Controllers
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Conventionally, the methods used for the sorting of tomatoes are manual. These methods are costly, non-productive, and their reliability is uncertain. With advancing technology, deep-learning, and artificial intelligence ...
Severity of corrosion under insulation (CUI) to structures and strategies to detect it
(
De Gruyter
, 2019 , Article Review)
This review paper considers the research conducted in the past 30 years in the field of corrosion under insulation (CUI). CUI is a significant challenge in many industries for reasons of high cost and risk because it ...
Advancing Service Operations: The Changing Role of Industrial Engineering
(
OMICS International
, 2012 , Article)
Service operations are currently at the hub of economic activities in some parts of the world. Although indicators seem to suggest the existence and future dominance of service economies, such economies will only be ...
Synthesis, characterization, and properties of nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide nanostructures
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxides (Ni-Co-LDH) have recently been examined for their potential as battery-type hybrid supercapacitors made from metal hydroxide electrode materials, due to their unique spatial structure, ...
An empirical study on lean awareness and potential for lean implementations in Qatar industries
(
Springer-Verlag London Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, an investigation on the level of recognition of lean concepts, principles, tools, and techniques in different industrial sectors in Qatar was carried out. The general aim of the study was to determine lean ...
Synthesis and characterization of cobalt hydroxide carbonate nanostructures
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Battery-type electrodes of three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical cobalt hydroxide carbonate arrays on Ni foam were fabricated using a hydrothermal method for use in supercapacitors. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning ...
Investigation of the tribological and biomechanical properties of CrAlTiN and CrN/NbN coatings on SST 304
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This study examines the influence of thin layer coatings of CrAlTiN and CrN/NbN, deposited via physical vapor, on the biocompatibility, mechanical, tribological, and corrosion properties of stainless steel 304. The ...
