This article presents a mathematical model for the problem of production and logistics in the forest industry. Specifically, a dynamic model of mixed-integer programming was formulated to solve three common problems in the ...

A multipurpose/multiproduct plant has to deal with many combinations of tasks sequences and operation rates that lead to accumulation problems. These problems can be handled using storage tanks, but usually their location ...

Aim: Local effects of ecosystem engineers on biodiversity can scale up to the landscape level, stressing the importance of ecological processes as determinants of species richness at larger spatial scales. In harsh ...

Buildings structures and surfaces are explicitly being used to grow plants, and these "urban plantings" are generally designed for aesthetic value. Urban plantings also have the potential to contribute significant "ecological ...

Facility location is a strategic decision that affects supply chain competitiveness. In this study, facility location and logistics networks were analyzed in 7 biodiesel and 6 bio-ethanol production plants in Colombia. The ...

In this paper, we address the Uncapacitated Plant Cycle Location Problem. It is a location-routing problem aimed at determining a subset of locations to set up plants dedicated to serving customers. We propose a mathematical ...

Maytenus ilicifolia and Maytenus aquifolia (Celastraceae) both designated espinheira-santa have proven anti-ulcer activity. Morphologic similarities between leaves of espinheira-santa and mata-olho (Sorocea bonplandii), ...
