Commercially pure grade 2 titanium in sheet form was processed by equal channel angular sheet extrusion (ECASE) up to two passes at room temperature. The ECASE process generated a heterogeneous state of deformation, mainly ...

New estimates are derived for the overall properties of linear solids with pointwise heterogeneous local properties. The derivation relies on the use of ‘comparison solids’ which, unlike comparison solids considered ...

In this paper, we study how between-group wealth and size heterogeneity affect aggregate rent-seeking efforts as well as success probabilities when two groups compete for the allocation of a pure public good. Unlike with ...

Heterogeneous azeotropic distillation is used for separating no ideal mixtures. The technique uses minimum-boiling azeotropes and liquid-liquid immiscibilities in combination to break the azeotropes or tangent pinches in ...

In this paper, we consider a real-life heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem with time windows and split deliveries that occurs in a major Brazilian retail group. A single depot attends 519 stores of the group ...

This work presents the modeling and implementation of a Hybrid Chemical Reactions Optimization that uses CRO operators to find good solutions, and heuristics to initialize the first population and mapping tasks in processors ...
