, This paper deals with no-idle flow shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing makespan. A new hybrid metaheuristic is proposed for the scheduling problem solution. The proposed method is compared with the best method reported in the literature.…

, In this study, the drying kinetics of two varieties of Turkey pistachios (Antep- Moisture content (MC) 32.01% (db) and Siirt-MC 41.92% (db)) were investigated by using a temperature and power controlled microwave dryer. The drying experiments were carried out…

In this paper we have introduced the notion of fuzzy real-valued p-bounded variation double sequence space 2bvp/F(1 ≤ p < ∞). We have studied some important properties like completeness, convergence free, solid, symmetric. Some inclusion results are also established.  ,

In this paper, by using the concept of belongingness (∈) and quasi-coincidence (q) between fuzzy points and fuzzy sets, we introduce (α, β)-fuzzy positive implicative ideals in BCK-algebras where α, β are any of {∈, q, ∈ V q, ∈…

This study aimed to analyze the convective drying in fixed bed of yellow passion fruit bagasse. Firstly, the initial moisture of the bagasse was determined in stove, at 105 ± 3ºC for 24 hours.  In the drying tests, it was…

Concern over exposure to endocrine disruptors (EDs) and impacts on wildlife and human has gradually increased in importance in recent years. Wastewater systematically receives most if not all of these chemicals, so a deeper understanding of the fate of EDs…

, The treatment of complex effluent with high salinity and sometimes with toxicity rates from a chemical plant is investigated. Two reactors were monitored continuously: control reactor R1 and reactor R2 adapted for saline effluent with 25h-HRT. The adaptation process…

, This study was performed at the campus of the Semiarid Rural Federal University in Mossoró, State of Rio Grande do Norte, and aimed to evaluate the behavior of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. race latifolium Hatch), cultivar 8h as for…

, Since the characteristics of the fresh fruit of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) are little known, its valorization and use are impaired. The fruit’s bioactive compounds at two stages of maturity, start and end of maturity, are evaluated, with…

, This study deals with the proposal of damage variables related to structural behavior of the concrete subjected to shear stress. It is also addressed the laws of evolution and their incorporation into the formulation of a constitutive model for…
