A flow shop scheduling problem incorporating a reconfigurable material handling Robot: A constraint programming approach

A reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is a new paradigm for the manufacturing environment to respond to unpredictable market change and frequent new product introduction. One of the components of an RMS is a reconfigurable material handling system (RMHS). This paper investi...

The Psychometric Properties of General Mattering Scale, Anti-Mattering Scale, and Fear of Not Mattering Inventory and the Association With Loneliness Among Iranian Students

Mattering is an important psychosocial construct, yet evidence regarding the psychometric properties of mattering measures among Iranian university students remains limited. This study examined the psychometric properties of three mattering scales and their associations with lone...

A Simulation of Non‐Ventilated Trombe Wall Performance With Graphite‐Enhanced Phase Change Material

ABSTRACT This research evaluates the performance of a non‐ventilated Trombe wall in three contrasting climates in Iran including Lavasan (cold‐mountainous), Yazd (hot‐dry), and Tabriz (cold‐semi‐dry). Simulations were conducted using DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus. The sample building...

Bioinformatics approaches for deciphering molecular mechanisms of plant stress responses

Abiotic stresses are among the most important factors limiting plant growth and production worldwide. Plant responses to stresses such as salinity, drought, temperature, and metal toxicity involve a complex network of interactions and molecular, biochemical, and physiological cha...

A New Accurate Horadam Wavelet Method for Solving Fractional Optimal Control Problems

ABSTRACT Recently, fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs) have attracted significant attention due to their ability to describe dynamical systems. In this study, an efficient computational framework is proposed based on a novel class of wavelet functions, called Horadam wave...

The synergistic role of stakeholders’ corporate social responsibility in the football business supply chain management framework: a systematic review

Although many industries have effectively integrated Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to boost Supply Chain Management (SCM) performance, its vital link in sports, particularly football, remains underexplored in research, and it is essential to recognize and leverage the rol...

The moderating role of psychological flexibility in the relationship between partner phubbing and romantic jealousy among Iranian women

With the increasing use of digital technology, addressing related challenges has become highly important due to their potential impact on romantic relationships. The present study aimed to investigate the moderating role of psychological flexibility in the relationship between pa...

Densification by ultrasonics

High-performance densification of powder materials has long been a challenging issue in many critical applications. The presence of two weaknesses, namely not reaching a density close to 100% and the presence of porosity in parts produced by powder metallurgy, can significantly a...

An Efficient Numerical Approach for Fractional PDEs With Proportional Delays

ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a novel, highly accurate, and efficient numerical method for solving fractional partial differential equations with proportional delays. These equations pose significant challenges in both numerical and analytical analysis due to their inherent...

Machine learning-based prediction of subjective cognitive impairment levels in cancer survivors using demographic predictors

Objectives Cancer-related cognitive impairment is a decline in cognitive functioning following cancer treatment that negatively affects survivors’ quality of life. Self-report tools such as the Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ) offer a rapid and cost-effective method for earl...
