The problem of multi-criteria or multi-objective intercropping crop planning makes it vital to consider all related factors under the constraints that will produce the highest revenue and minimum cost. Principles of intercropping elements including soil type, plant area, plant diseases, planting and harvesting time and economics factors (e.g. price, cost) are some of the factors…

Treatment plants have been developed in many countries to handle wastewater, therefore, many pieces of researches have been conducted in order to optimize the outcomes. In this article, a mathematical optimization model was developed using quadratic programming approach to optimize the pollutant degradation at the domestic wastewater facultative stabilization ponds. The data used in this…

Renewable energy is an essential source of green growth for countries facing a shortage of fossil fuels. They offer a sustainable, inexhaustible, carbon-free solution to the future energy dependency of nations. Morocco, which has no traditional energy resources, depends entirely on the international primary energy market to meet its growing demand. For this reason, Morocco…

The crisis linked to the COVID-19 and the uncertainty it generates in the unprecedented health, societal, economic and financial fields have had a strong impact on the stock markets. Indeed, in such a climate of very high uncertainty, it is to be expected that the excessive stock market price movements will continue, with both declines…

Tenants associated with a cloud-hosted application seek to reduce running costs and minimize resource consumption by sharing components and resources. However, despite the benefits, sharing resources can affect tenant’s access and overall performance if one tenant abruptly experiences a significant workload, particularly if the application fails to accommodate this sudden increase in workload. In cases…

Perishable inventory management contributes simultaneously to society and the economy, by reducing food wastage and capitalizing on the freshness of goods. For this reason, countless mathematical models have been developed for their effectiveness and cost-efficient management. Yet, the majority of these models can only optimize systems for a limited time frame, allowing for small gains…

To reduce its high last mile logistics cost, a company may explore different options such as a horizontal collaboration with another company that has a similar logistics requirement. Traditionally, the collaboration can be conducted through an outsource contract mechanism where the company may need to guarantee a certain number of logistics demands or usage for…
