A Scatter Search Approach for Multiobjective Selective Disassembly Sequence Problem by Xiwang Guo, Shixin Liu

“…This work proposes a multiobjective optimization of model for selective disassembly sequences and maximizing disassembly profit and minimizing disassembly time. An improved scatter search (ISS) is adapted to solve proposed multiobjective optimization model, which embodies diversification generation of initial solutions, crossover combination operator, the local search strategy to improve the quality of new solutions, and reference set update method. …”

Convergence in Bucket Brigades in a Tree-Shaped Picking System by Xiangbin Xu, Caige Xu, Feng Shi

“…We propose a two-truck bucket brigade tree-shaped picking system when truck walk-back time is significant and analyze the dynamics of the system in each region of the parameter space, showing that relatively complex picking systems can enjoy the benefit of self-balance with minimal managerial intervention and provide insights and operating principles for the implementation and management of the bucket brigade picking system.…”

Causes and Management of Insect and Mite Resistance in Strawberry Production by James F. Price, Curtis Nagle

“…These consequences can be alleviated if resistance management is practiced throughout the strawberry industry. If they minimize pesticide application by depending more on biological and cultural pest control measures, and take care not to expose pest populations to pesticides with identical modes of action, growers can avoid causing pesticide resistance. …”
