In this section, we provide details of the four modules of this invention. However, any one module of this invention can’t solve our problem alone. It is the interaction of all parts that allow the user to understand and improve the optimization models. We begin by defining the optimization problem. Our objective is to maximize or minimize the sum of objective terms by selecting optimal feasible levels of the independent variables. The set of process limits or constraints define the feasible…
in the causation of Operation Barbarossa other factors such as Hitler’s aims to expand Germany to the East and ideological differences also played large factors in the decision to launch an offensive against Russia. This ultimately led to Germany executing ‘Operation Barbarossa’ in 1941, its secret invasion plan against Russia whom they had signed a non-aggression pact with in 1939. Overall while the Winter War became the public and official reason for the cause of Operation Barbarossa, as it…
A powerful dictator named Joseph Stalin established a regime that focused to modernize the Soviet Union and destroy the Nazi hierarchy. Shortly after the death of Vladmir Lenin in December of 1879, Stalin gained control of the Communist Party, by assuming the role of General Secretary. Due to his decision to control the agriculture, famine swept across the land killing millions in its path. The few exceptions were innocents captured and taken to camps. Leader of the Red Army, Stalin led his men…
arguably the reason as to why the Nazis lost the second world war. In 1941 Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa4, which was the invasion of the USSR, who at the time, had signed a peace treaty with Germany. An obvious weakness was that Hitler was now going to have to fight on two fronts, compared to one previously, which would be hard to sustain. Additionally, there was another major flaw in the Operation- it was planned to be executed in the summer of 1941, however it was only by the winter…
The Hitler-Stalin pact is an amazing topic because the pact was made up of the two most hated dictators of the 1800s and both Hitler and Stalin made many countries fear them and try to ally with them. The pact had a lot of victories and destructions against other countries, but then the pact ended with Hitler 's dead and Germany 's defeat in WWII. The pact shows the ups and downs of having a pact with two greedy dictators that would do anything to gain power and expand their empires. There are…
In his 1945 biennial report to the U.S. Secretary of War, Chief of Staff George C. Marshall inscribed, “In good conscience this Nation can take little credit for its part in staving off disaster in those critical days. It is certain that the refusal of the […] Russian peoples to accept what appeared to be inevitable defeat was the great factor in the salvage of our civilization” (107). The resolve of the Russian people was tenacious and unequivocal; undeterred by the callousness, destructiveness…
This section demonstrates and validates the proposed distributed multi-agent area coverage control reinforcement learning algorithm (MAACC-RL) via numerical simulations. The approximate/adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm implemented for MAACC-RL uses a recursive least-squares solution. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MAACC algorithm, a MATLAB simulation is conducted on a group of five agents placed on a 2D convex workspace Ω⊂R^2 with its boundary vertices at (1.0,0.05)…
While the courses such as production management and industrial engineering provided a basic understanding of the subject, I am currently pursuing operations research which fascinated me very much. Throughout the period of my undergraduate study, I tried to understand the finer nuances of the subject by practically implementing the concepts and principles that I learned. I had completed a mini project…
1. What are the main functions of operations management? (10 points) The main functions of operations management are marketing, finance, human resources, and operations. It plans, organizes, coordinates, and controls the resources needed to produced the company’s goods and services. 2. While watching the FedEx video what aspect of operations management became more clear to you? (10 points). How important logistics are for FedEx. As well as deadlines because of how if one person was late…
During the war against the Soviet Union, the Germans faced considerable resistance from the Soviet Partisans. The Soviet Partisans were an extension of the Red Army and the Soviet government, and waged guerilla warfare against the occupying German forces, with the ultimate goal of forcing a German retreat. When the Germans invaded, there were Partisan bands already in place however they still lacked strength due to Stalin’s purges. In January 1941, the partisans numbered around 30,000, and…
