The scheduling of gasoline-blending operations is an important problem in the oil refining industry.This problem not only exhibits the combinatorial nature that is intrinsic to scheduling problems, but also non-convex nonlinear behavior, due to the blending of various materials with different quality properties.In this work, a global optimization a

Accurate impressions are an essential prerequisite for fabricating implant-retained maxillofacial prostheses.This article describes an impression technique for recording orbital defects by making increments for an implant-retained orbital Shoe Care Kits prosthesis using an open-tray impression.This technique enables an accurate transfer of implant
