Correcting the rotation curve of spiral galaxies for the non-circular motions induced by a bar by Randriamampandry, Toky Herimandimby

“…In chapter IV, we quantify the magnitude of the non-circular flows and constraint the range of bar orientation angles where DiskFit fails by using Tree-SPH simulations from the GalMer database by Chilingarian et al . (2010 ). We found that the rotation curve obtained from ROTCUR was 40% smaller/larger than the expected velocities calculated from the gravitational potential when the bar is aligned with the major/minor axis. …”

Optimizing Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Hospitals by Ahmed, Mohamed

“…The model optimizes the scheduling of rehabilitation works through the use of genetic algorithm optimization engine. The model features through five modules, (1) Database module that stores the hospitals data, (2) Backward Markov chain module that estimates the transition probability matrix, (3) Deterioration prediction module that predict the future condition of the asset, (4) Rehabilitation Cost optimization and (5) Multi-objective rehabilitation schedule optimization that conducts a tradeoff between the modified rehabilitation cost and the number of unserved patients. …”
