A NOVEL TWO-PHASE APPROACH FOR SOLVING THE MULTI-COMPARTMENT VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM WITH A HETEROGENEOUS FLEET OF VEHICLES: A CASE STUDY ON FUEL DELIVERY

Distribution of goods is one of the main issues that directly affect the performance of the companies since efficient distribution of goods saves energy costs and also leads to reduced environmental impact.The multi-compartment vehicle routing problem (MCVRP) with a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles is encountered when dealing with this situation in

Jatropha-curcas biodiesel has recently been considered as one of the potential renewable energy sources in Asia.This biodiesel is produced through the transesterification process of the non-edible oil obtained from Jatropha-curcas.The properties of this biodiesel are quite similar to those of diesel fuel.However, high viscosity of pure Jatropha-cur

Background: The t(12;21)(p13;q22), which fuses ETV6 and RUNX1 genes, is the most common genetic abnormality in children with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.The implication of the fusion protein in leukemogenesis seems to be clear.However, its role in the maintenance of the disease continues to be controversial.Methods: Generation Mo

The Eurasian fossil record of Panthera GREENS TROPICAL spelaea shows a gradual decrease in body size.The process peaking just before the extinction of the species at the end of the Late Pleistocene.The temporal trend of decreasing size particularly accelerating during MIS 2, as exemplified by the extremely small female skull from Kryshtaleva Cave.S
