This work analyses and compares two approaches to evaluate the boiling heat transfer of CO2 in a real evaporation process: classical empirical correlations and flow pattern maps. We develop a finite-volume mathematical ...
[EN] Crop-based Agri-food Supply Chains (AFSCs) are complex systems that face multiple sources of uncertainty that can cause a significant imbalance between supply and demand in terms of product varieties, quantities, ...

[EN] Recent practices in textile supply chains (SC) show a growing concern for sustainability not only in its economic
dimension, but fundamentally in its environmental and social ones. One of the key management processes ...

This paper presents an alternative approach to deal with seawater intrusion problems, that overcomes
some of the limitations of previous works, by coupling the well-known SWI2 package for MODFLOW with
a stochastic inverse ...

Lack of homogeneity in the product (LHP) affects several sectors like horticulture, reverse logistics, furniture, ceramics and leathers, among others. Productive processes with LHP are characterized by manufacturing units ...

[EN] In this paper, in order to reliably meet the homogeneity required by customers, a fuzzy model is proposed to support the promising process in LHP contexts after taking into account uncertainty in planned homoge- neous ...

In ceramic companies, uncertainty in the tone and gage obtained in first quality units of the same finished good (FG) entails frequent discrepancies between planned homogeneous quantities and real ones. This fact can lead ...

[EN] This paper presents a review of mathematical programming models for supporting the order promising process (OPP) under Lack of Homogeneity in Product (LHP) conditions and uncertainty in a modelling approach. LHP appears ...
[EN] Nowadays multi-criteria methods enable non-monetary aspects to be incorporated into the assessment of infrastructure sustainability. Yet evaluation of the social aspects is still neglected and the multi-criteria ...
[EN] Water distribution networks (WDNs) evolve continuously over time. Changes in water demands and pipe deterioration require construction upgrades to be performed on the network during its entire lifecycle. However, ...
[EN] This paper proposes a fuzzy multi-objective integer linear programming (FMOILP) approach to model a material requirement planning (MRP) problem with fuzzy lead times. The objective functions minimise the total costs, ...

Over the last years, Web services have become increasingly popular. It is because they allow businesses to share data and business process (BP) logic through a programmatic interface across networks. In order to reach the ...
Cabrera Rochera, Enrique; Estruch-Juan, María Elvira; Molinos-Senante, M.(Elsevier, 2018)
[EN] The regulation of water services shares many similarities with that of other utilities such as electricity or telecommunications. As a result, similar methods are often used by regulators to assess the efficiency of ...
Grillo Espinoza, Hanzel(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2019-09-22)
The Lack of Homogeneity in the Product (LHP) appears in productive processes with raw materials, which directly stem from nature and/or production processes with operations that confer heterogeneity to the characteristics ...
[EN] Failure analysis of the dam-foundation interface in concrete dams is characterized by complexity, uncertainties on models and parameters, and a strong non-linear softening behavior. In practice, these uncertainties ...
[EN] This paper presents a new approach for the multiobjective optimal design of robust controllers in systems with stochastic parametric uncertainty. Traditionally, uncertainty is incorporated into the optimization process. ...
