Scheduling unrelated parallel machines with optional machines and jobs selection

In this paper we study two generalizations of the well known unrelated parallel machines scheduling problem under makespan (C_max) minimization. First, a situation in which not every available parallel machine should be used and it is desirable to employ only a subset of the parallel machines. This is referred to as “Not All Machines” or NAM in short. This environment applies frequently in production shops where capacity exceeds demand or when production capacity can be lent to third companies. Also, NAM can be used to increase production capacity and it is not clear how many additional machines should be acquired. The second studied generalization has been referred to as “Not All Jobs” or NAJ. Here, there is no obligation to process all available jobs. We propose Mixed Integer Programming mathematical formulations for both NAM and NAJ, and it is shown that the latter can be effectively solved with modern commercial solvers. We also present three algorithms to solve the NAM problem. These algorithms are compared with the proposed MIP formulation when solved with IBM ILOG CPLEX 12.1. Comprehensive computational and statistical experiments prove that our proposed algorithms significantly improve the results given by the solver.     

Li-function activated ZNN with finite-time convergence applied to redundant-manipulator kinematic control via time-varying Jacobian matrix pseudoinversion

This paper presents and investigates the application of Zhang neural network (ZNN) activated by Li function to kinematic control of redundant robot manipulators via time-varying Jacobian matrix pseudoinversion. That is, by using Li activation function and by computing the time-varying pseudoinverse of the Jacobian matrix (of the robot manipulator), the resultant ZNN model is applied to redundant-manipulator kinematic control. Note that there are nine novelties and differences of ZNN from the conventional gradient neural network in the research methodology. More importantly, such a Li-function activated ZNN (LFAZNN) model has the property of finite-time convergence (showing its feasibility to redundant-manipulator kinematic control). Simulation results based on a four-link planar robot manipulator and a PA10 robot manipulator further demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented LFAZNN model, as well as show the LFAZNN application prospect.

A linguistic approach to non-identical parallel processor scheduling with fuzzy processing times

This study presents an application of non-identical parallel processor scheduling under uncertain operation times. We have been motivated from a real case scheduling problem that contains some uncommon welding operations to be processed by workers in an automotive subcontract company. Here each operator may weld each job but in different processing times depending on learning effect because of operator’s ability and experience, and batch sizes. To determine the crisp operation times in such a fuzzy environment, a linguistic reasoning approach (with a 75-“If- Then” rules) considering the learning effect is proposed in the study. Since the fuzzy linguistic approach allows the representation of expert information more directly and adequately, it can be more possible to make realistic schedules under uncertainty. With the objective to balance the workload among all operators, the longest processing time heuristic algorithm is been used and measured average makespan. For evaluating the effectiveness of this approach, it is compared with the scheduling method that use the random operation times generated from a uniform distribution. Results showed that the proposed fuzzy linguistic scheduling approach has balanced the workload of operators with a standard deviation of 0.37 and improved the Cmax value as 16%. A general conclusion can be drawn the proposed approach is able to generate realistic schedules and especially useful to solve non-identical parallel processor scheduling problem under uncertainty. An important contribution of this study is that Mamdani inference method with learning effect is the first time used to obtain the crisp processing times of non-identical processors by the help of a rule base with expert knowledge.     

From Side Chains Rattling on Picoseconds to Ensemble Simulations of Protein Folding

Simulations of biological macromolecules have evolved tremendously since the discoveries of the 1970s. The field has moved from simple simulations in vacuo on picosecond scales to milliseconds of accurate sampling of large proteins, and it has become a standard tool in biochemistry and biophysics, rather than a dedicated theoretical one. This is partly due to increasing computational power, but it would not have been possible without huge research efforts invested in new algorithms and software. Here, we illustrate some of this development, both past and future challenges, and in particular, discuss how the recent introduction of modern ensemble methods is breaking the trend of ever-longer simulations to instead focus on throughput and sampling. This has not only helped simulations become much more accurate, but it provides statistical error estimates, which are critical, as simulations are increasingly used to predict properties that have not yet been measured experimentally.     

Kinematics and dynamics analysis of a three-degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator

Kinematics and dynamics analyses were performed for a spatial 3-revolute joint-revolute joint-clylindric pair（3-RRC） parallel manipulator.This 3-RRC parallel manipulator is composed of a moving platform,a base platform,and three revolute joint-revolute joint-column pair chains which connect the moving platform and the base platform.Firstly,kinematics analysis for 3-RRC parallel manipulator was conducted.Next,on the basis of Lagrange formula,a simply-structured dynamic model of 3-RRC parallel manipulator was derived.Finally,through a calculation example,the variation of motorial parameters of this 3-RRC parallel manipulator,equivalent moment of inertia,driving force/torque and energy consumption was discussed.The research findings have important significance for research and engineering projects such as analyzing dynamic features,mechanism optimization design and control of 3-RRC parallel manipulator.
