This work presents a hybrid approach based on the use of genetic algorithms to solve efficiently the problem of cutting structural beams arising in a local metalwork company. The problem belongs to the class of one-dimensional ...

[EN] Fruit trees undergo cycles of heavy fruit load (ON) in one year, followed by low fruit load (OFF) the following year, a phenomenon known as alternate bearing. It results a serious prob ...

[Otros] This study originally explores the use of gallic acid (GA) as a natural additive in bio-based high-density polyethylene (bio-HDPE) formulations. Thus, bio-HDPE was first melt-compounded with two different loadings ...

[EN] In this paper, heuristic optimization of interplanetary trajectories is presented. These techniques have been applied over the last two decades to the successful design of space missions in order to increase the ...
