Tasks scheduling with different structures in cloud manufacturing according to the time and cost of transportation and the task arrival time by Zohre Kiapasha, Ali Salmasnia

“…Therefore, in this study, an optimization model with three objective functions of task completion time, the cost imposed on the cloud manufacturing system, and the quality of the selected services are developed to get closer to the real world; three features are included in it: 1) the possibility of tasks with two structures, series and parallel, 2) different arrival times of tasks in the cloud manufacturing system, and 3) time/cost of logistics between different enterprises.Methodology: First, six examples with different numbers of tasks and subtasks are designed with both sequential and parallel structures. …”

U.S. UNIVERSITY WEBSITES AS SPECIFIC MULTIMODAL TEXTS by Svitlana V. Fedorenko, Kateryna B. Sheremeta

“…The methodological basis of the research was a complex of the following methods: analysis (to study multimodal components of the university website as a specific multimodal text), synthesis (to identify the features of the integration of multimodal means of the websites of American universities), observation (for the selection of fragments with verbal means that actualize the visual content and the selection of visual fragments to actualize the verbal content), the method of discourse analysis (to highlight specific fragments of websites that arouse the interest of the authors of this articleб and have a meaningful content), structural method (to analyze the university website as a whole structure, which is provided by separate means of cohesion), functional method (to clarify the pragmatic potential of multimodal elements of the university website, which are means of communication between the university and the reader of its website). …”
