Solving Economic Load Dispatch Problems through Moth Flame Optimization Algorithm
Abstract: AbstractThis paper proposes the nature-inspired moth flame optimization (MFO) algorithm to solve the economic load dispatch (ELD) problem of power system. The ELD is a concept where the committed generating units are scheduled to meet the total power demanded by the residential area. The ELD problems are solved by the optimization process of the objective function, hence optimization is done by minimizing the total fuel cost function of the generating …

Application of Genetic Algorithm in Resource Leveling and Allocation
Abstract: Resource leveling and allocation is one of the most important aspects in construction management. Critical path method and program evaluation review technique is frequently used for scheduling of construction projects. However, it is not capable of minimizing unwanted fluctuations in resource utilization profile. The basic idea of resource leveling is to minimize resource fluctuation. In addition to this, the paper uses the resource utilization period. This research paper presents an …

Change Order Management in Construction Projects: A Review
Abstract: The construction work is a difficult one and is associated with different changes. These changes generally lead to issuance of various orders. Classifying the reason of change order is critical in order to keep away from possible changes in further project. Decisions are taken every day in construction processes based on information available (which is most of the time incomplete), assumptions and the personal knowledge of the construction professionals. Hence, …

Modeling Evapotranspiration using Artificial Neural Networks
Abstract: The prior knowledge of evapotranspiration (ET0) is crucial for estimating crop-water demand, preparation of water distribution schedules and water diversion. The present study investigates the utility of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and linear regression models (LRs) for forecasting ET0 based on hydro-meteorological data. Based on different inputs, eight ANN and LR models are developed. The results are compared with those of FAO-56 Penman-Monteith expression. The published daily climatic data from …

Budgetary Control and Timely Completion of Civil Engineering Projects Through Financial Management
Abstract: Financial management is critical for dealing with time delays and cost overruns in civil engineering. The methodology adopted in this study is questionnaires distributed to different construction professionals and surveys from some sites. Professionals consulted include engineers, contractors, and clients. Results show that most projects encounter time wastages, insufficient materials, and mismanagement of resources. Numerous time and cost management strategies assist in preventing cost overrun and schedule extension in civil …

Native Language Identification from Spoken Indian English
Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems that facilitate voice based search and information retrieval have gained importance recently. While the performance of ASR systems for Indian languages have improved in the recent past. They have yet to gain wide acceptability as much as the ASR systems for English spoken by Indians. Almost all Indians learn English as a second or third language. So, the phoneme set and the prosody of native …
