Presenting two new methods for solving linear interval optimal control problems using the resilience approach of control signal by Elnaz Hosseini, Mehdi Allahdadi, Samaneh Soradi-Zeid

“…In these methods, the given interval optimal control problem is transformed into a non-interval (deterministic) optimal control problem so that it is possible to use the optimal control theory to solve it. By considering the variation limits for the control signal, the optimal solution of the main problem is obtained.Methodology: In this research, two methods are presented to solve the deterministic sub-models of linear interval optimal control problems and find a good approximation for the optimal solution of them. …”

Determine the Inflow Performance Relationship of Water Producing Gas Well Using Multiobjective Optimization Method by Xiao-Hua Tan, Jian-Yi Liu, Jia-Hui Zhao, Xiao-Ping Li, Guang-Dong Zhang, Chuan Tang, Li Li

“…Therefore, the traditional gas-water two-phase inflow performance relationship (IPR) models are not suitable for calculating the water producing gas well inflow performance relationship in water drive gas reservoirs. Based on the basic theory of fluid mechanics in porous medium, using the principle of mass conservation, and considering the process of dissolution and volatilization of gas and water formation, this paper establishes a new mathematical model of gas-water two-phase flow. …”

Review: Feed efficiency and metabolic flexibility in livestock by W.M. Rauw, L.H. Baumgard, J.C.M. Dekkers

“…Feed efficiency also depends on processes that are not directly related to economically important phenotypes, which can be considered ‘waste’ from a production point of view but are vital maintenance-related functions that are closely associated with environmental flexibility and adaptation. Resource allocation theory suggests that an animal’s resource budget is narrowed when production efficiency is improved through an increase in productive output, along with a decrease in feed intake (capacity) and body reserves (improved leanness). …”
