In this paper, three metaheuristics are proposed for solving a class of job shop, open shop, and mixed shop scheduling problems. We evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms by means of a set of Lawrences benchmark instances for the job shop problem, a set of randomly generated instances for the open shop problem, and a combined job shop and open shop test data for the mixed shop problem. The computational results show that the proposed algorithms perform extremely well on all these three types of shop scheduling problems. The results also reveal that the mixed shop problem is relatively easier to solve than the job shop problem due to the fact that the scheduling procedure becomes more flexible by the inclusion of more open shop jobs in the mixed shop. Keywords: Machine scheduling; open shop; job shop; mixed shop; metaheuristics. In combinatorial optimization, machine scheduling problems have been the subjects of extensive research since the early 1950s (Baker, 1974). Many of the early developments were motivated by problems arising in the area of manufacturing. The machine scheduling problems that we consider in this study can be described as follows: Given m machines and n jobs, the jobs are to be processed on the m machines. A schedule specifics, for each machine i and each job j, a time interval throughout which processing is performed on job j by machine i. A schedule is feasible if each job can only be processed on one machine and each machine can only process one job at a time, and also if it satisfies various requirements imposed on the jobs and machines relating to the specific problem type. According to the machine environment and job characteristics, machine scheduling problems can be divided into two production systems: single-stage system and multi-stage system. A single-stage system requires one operation for each job, whereas in a multi-stage system there are jobs that require operations on different machines. Single-stage systems involve either a single machine referred to as the single-machine scheduling problem, or m machines in parallel referred to as the parallel-machine scheduling problem. In multi-stage systems, there are three types of basic shop scheduling problems: the flow shop scheduling (FSS) problem, the job shop scheduling (JSS) problem, and the open shop scheduling (OSS) problem. In a flow shop, each job is processed on machines 1, . . . , m in this unidirectional fixed order. In a job shop, each job has a prescribed routing through the machines, but the routing for each job may be different. In an open shop, the routing through the machines is unrestricted and forms a part of the decision process. The objective function of minimizing the maximum completion time (makespan) is the main focus in most studies for shop scheduling problems in the literature.

The new NLP2040 and NLP3040 physical layer devices offer the industrys most highly integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet PHY technology with best-in-class performance and lowest power consumption for next-generation networking, server and storage systems MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETL), the leader in the design and development of knowledge-based processors and high-speed integrated circuits, today announced the industrys first quad-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) physical layer (PHY) SerDes devices that deliver the highest performance and lowest power consumption for next-generation switches, routers and blade servers addressing the data center, enterprise networking, storage and service provider markets. NetLogic Microsystems new NLP2040 and NLP3040 PHY devices, targeted at SFP+ and 10GBASE-KR backplane applications, respectively, integrate its industry-leading electronic dispersion compensation (EDC), pre-emphasis on the 10G transmit lane and forward error correction (FEC) technology, respectively to support the IEEE 10GBASE-LRM and 10GBASE-KR standards. The market for 10 Gigabit Ethernet PHY is growing rapidly in data center, enterprise and carrier networks, driven by the increasing demand for bandwidth-hungry video content and virtualization. Industry analysts expect the market for 10GbE PHY to grow tenfold in port count over the next five years, representing 58 percent CAGR over that period. To keep up with this growth in bandwidth, network managers are demanding networking equipment, server and storage systems with significantly lower power and smaller form factor that provide a higher density of 10GbE ports. NetLogic Microsystems quad-port NLP2040 and NLP3040 devices offer power savings and footprint reduction over competing dual-port solutions, thereby allowing customers to develop higher density switches and blade servers for next-generation data centers. In addition, the NLP2040 and NLP3040 PHY devices offer an ultra low-power mode which allows customers to power down certain operations on chip to further reduce power consumption. “As the first in the industry with quad-core 10GbE products, we are uniquely positioned to drive the market for higher density and lower power solutions at our customer base,” said Stefanos Sidiropoulos, vice president of Physical Layer Products at NetLogic Microsystems. “The new NLP2040 and NLP3040 products further extend our market and technology leadership in 10GbE PHY solutions and enable us to provide our customers with the most innovative and comprehensive portfolio of field-proven 10GbE PHY solutions for fiber, backplane and twin-axial copper cables.”

Combined Firms Deliver Award-Winning, Start-to-Finish Creative Services HOLLYWOOD CULVER CITY, Calif. — Trailer Park and Art Machine, two of the entertainment industrys leading creative marketing firms, today announced that they have merged to form the largest single-source provider of diverse entertainment marketing services in Hollywood. In 2007, Trailer Park and Art Machine together received six awards at The Key Art Awards, the annual event to honor movie advertising including theater standees, posters, promos, and trailers; in addition, the two firms combined for eight awards at the 2007 Golden Trailer Awards. The merger combines Trailer Parks expertise in such areas as movie trailers, advertising, and publicity with Art Machines strength in print design. The resulting firm will offer a fully integrated solution to assist entertainment clients in marketing diverse content, ranging from films and television series to DVD releases and video games. In addition, the Trailer Park/Art Machine merger will protect against piracy by keeping all aspects of a marketing campaign secure with a single service provider. Among the clients of Trailer Park and Art Machine are such major motion picture studios and entertainment companies as 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, ABC, AE, Activision, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Disney, New Line Cinema, Paramount, and Sony Computer Entertainment. “Were creating the broadest, deepest platform of creative marketing services for the entertainment industry,” explained Joel Johnston, chief operating officer of Trailer Park. “Together, the capabilities of our two firms will allow us to deliver start-to-finish, award-winning marketing services for our clients not only in print, theaters, and on television, but also via new distribution platforms including online, cell phones, and PDAs and other wireless devices.”
There really is an art to making a good — or “effective” — movie trailer. After all, a trailer can often make or break a movie, especially in an industry that depends on opening-weekend business. For example, theres little doubt that the early success of “Daredevil” was spurred by its exciting ads and TV spots. You have to wonder how another big superhero movie, “The Hulk” (due in June), will do, considering that its ad (which debuted during the Super Bowl) was even better. As some of you may have guessed, this is leading me into a recurring feature, my semi-regular critiques of the latest movie trailers, wherein I sometimes watch and grade trailers — not just for their entertainment value but also to assess how well they sell the movie theyre advertising. So heres my take on ads for some of this springs releases, and at least one of the early-summer blockbusters:

KATIE AND THE MODEL
We extend the literature on Bayesian model comparison for ordinary least-squares regression models to include spatial autoregressive and spatial error models. Our focus is on comparing models that consist of different matrices of explanatory variables. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo model composition methodology labeled [MC.sup.3] by Madigan and York is developed for two types of spatial econometric models that are frequently used in the literature. The methodology deals with cases where the number of possible models based on different combinations of candidate explanatory variables is large enough such that calculation of posterior probabilities for all models is difficult or infeasible. Estimates and inferences are produced by averaging over models using the posterior model probabilities as weights, a procedure known as Bayesian model averaging. We illustrate the methods using a spatial econometric model of origin-destination population migration flows between the 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia during the 1990-2000 period. There is a great deal of literature on Bayesian model comparison for nonspatial regression models, where alternative models consist of those based on differing matrices of explanatory variables. For example, Zellner (1971) sets forth the basic Bayesian theory behind model comparison for the case where a discrete set of m alternative models are under consideration. The approach involves specifying prior probabilities for each model as well as prior distributions for the regression parameters. Posterior model probabilities are then calculated and used for inferences regarding the alternative models based on different sets of explanatory variables. More recent works such as that by Fernandez, Ley, and Steel (2001 a, b) consider cases where the number of possible models m is large enough such that calculation of posterior probabilities for all models is difficult or infeasible. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo model composition methodology known as [MC.sup.3] proposed by Madigan and York (1995) has gained popularity in the mathematical statistics and econometrics literature (e.g., Denison, Mallick, and Smith 1998; Raftery, Madigan, and Hoeting 1997; Fernandez, Ley, and Steel 2001a, b). The popularity of [MC.sup.3] arises in part from its ability to provide a theoretically justifiable approach to a question that often arises in regression modeling–which explanatory variables are most important in explaining variation in the dependent variable vector? This article develops the [MC.sup.3] methodology for two important spatial econometric regression models that have received widespread application (LeSage and Pace 2004). A host of additional complications arise when attempting to extend regression-based approaches to these spatial regression estimators. We provide theoretical details regarding these issues as well as computationally efficient solutions.

No-glue hair extensions hit the city. a high Street salon in Newcastle is making waves in city fashion life with a cut-price, chemical-free way to extend hair. Hair extensions are now back in fashion with customers queuing up to copy their favourite celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Jordan and Jade Goody, by adding instant inches to their locks. But standard methods of hair extensions, which involve gluing in sections of hair, can take up to six hours to complete and can cost anywhere between pounds 400 and pounds 600. And in some cases, if applied incorrectly there is also a risk that when it comes to removing the glued in hair extensions, it can create small bald patches.
VAN NUYS, Calif. — High-priced, clip-on hair extensions are becoming a hot item in drug stores.Despite the high cost of these hair accessories — Revlons Clipit retails for $49.95 and Rene of Paris The Hair Company Clip-On Hair Extension sells for $29.95 — women have been snapping them up, according to retailers and manufacturers.”For three years, the Vogues and Harpers Bazaars of the world have been commenting on hair accessories, but there was no place for urban women to buy them,” said Dino Valentino, vice president of marketing for Rene of Paris, whose ponytail-type hair extension is attached to a French barrette. Rene of Paris has been selling its product in Eckerd Drug, Longs Drug Stores, Arbor Drugs and Vicks Drug since September.Initial sales have been so strong that Valentino expects hair extensions to become a booming category for drug stores. “We feel the potential at retail is $1 billion,” he said. In April, the company will offer a new stand-alone version (not attached to a barrette) designed to be used as hair filler or attached with a bobby pin.

The ACA conducted a veterinary chiropractic survey toward the end of 2000 to estimate the professions interest in veterinary chiropractic, gather information on available chiropractic veterinary education, and get a sense of related state legislation and statutes. Surveys were sent to 183 ACA delegates, alternate delegates, state associations, and chiropractic colleges. The overall response rate was 40.98 percent. Sixty-five percent of respondents said interest has grown over the past two to three years, based on an increase in the number of veterinary chiropractic programs advertised, and because several doctors were asked to adjust patients animals. Twenty-five percent of respondents, however, said interest was flat.

“One thing I know through experience is that I need to keep seeing my
chiropractor, even when I have a few weeks off from golf,” says Padraig
Harrington, whose major championships include two British Opens and the
PGA Championship. “Getting ongoing chiropractic care helps me to stay
injury-free. It also helps me to deal with symptoms when they begin, so
that they don’t turn into bigger injuries down the road.”

When Restoration Hardware unveiled its line of wood outdoor furniture, it chose a distinctive red-tinged wood that weathers well outdoors. No, not teak: nyatoh. Restoration Hardware is not the only company using nyatoh lately. A growing list of products is being made from the reddish tropical hardwood. Traditional uses for the wood include furniture (residential, office and outdoor), cabinetry, interior construction, doors, paneling, moulding, ship and boat decking, pallets, veneers, plywood, high class joinery shingles, and flooring. Restoration Hardwares line of outdoor furniture is made from Indonesian nyatoh. Dave Glassman, director of marketing, says the company specifically chose nyatoh rather than teak. Nyatoh is similar to the distinctive teak coloring, although teak is more golden. Nyatoh weathers to gray, although its original color can be maintained by periodic applications of teak or linseed oil. While nyatoh weathers well out of doors, is strong and resists wear, denting and marring, it doesnt equal teak in all properties. Teak sets a high standard as far as durability and other properties under all conditions.

A recent investigation was designed to see whether a phenomenon similar to naturally occurring relapse might be produced experimentally in a shorter time period by intentionally interrupting weight loss momentum during the initial treatment period. Investigators felt that artificially forcing weight stabilization might allow them to produce experimental relapses in a shorter time frame than occurs naturally during treatment. The purpose of the study was to experimentally test this disruption hypothesis by randomly assigning some patients to interventions that would disrupt their weight loss momentum. Subjects included 142 men and women (22 males and 120 females), aged 25 to 60 years with a mean BM1 of 33.1 [+ or -] 3.3 kg/[m.sup.2]. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups that differed in the scheduling of the 14 group lessons. The control group completed 14 sessions, on 14 consecutive weeks. The long break group (LB) took a 6-week break after the seventh lesson. The short break group (SB) took 2 week breaks after the third, sixth, and ninth lessons. Participants in all groups were assessed at postreatment (week 20) and 6 months later (month 11). The three groups received the same behavioral weight loss intervention consisting of 14 group meetings. The subjects were also assigned a calorie goal of 1000 to 1500 calories per day depending on their baseline weight. Additionally, to create a formal rule for `break, participants were given a list of 13 high-fat foods that were to be totally restricted (for example, cheese, burgers, cakes, and pastries). Exercise was gradually increased up to 150 rain of activity per week. There were no group meetings during breaks and participants were instructed no to monitor their behaviors or weight during these breaks and to eat and exercise as they had before the program. Following the `breaks, treatment meetings began where they had left off. After completing the 14 lessons, all participants were encouraged to maintain their new eating and exercise habits and continue to lose weight or maintain their weight loss. The subjects appeared to take the breaks as prescribed, with interruptions in self-monitoring, dietary adherence, and self-weighing (but not exercise). However, participants quickly resumed their weight loss behaviors after the break. Breaks produced a slowing of weight reduction or slight regain, but weight losses during the breaks were not significantly different from the control group. Overall weight losses (0 to 5 months or 0 to 11 months) did not differ between the treatment groups.

Business travelers and the companies they represent may soon have to dole out a little more cash to cover expenses — namely, the increasing price of rental cars. Leading rental companies, including The Hertz Corp., Avis Group Inc., Alamo Rent-A-Car Inc. and National Car Rental, are hoping that they will soon begin price increases. Rising fleet costs are being blamed for the proposed car rental rate hike, as well as the losses sustained from automobile manufacturers rental programs with unsold vehicles. Though most of these subsidies auto manufacturers provided to car rental agencies were phased out during the past several years, some have remained and still impact many rental car agencies. The last significant increase in the rental car industrys rates took place in 1997, when most companys prices rose 5 to 10 percent. Beginning March 1, the four major car rental companies raised rates on non-contracted business by $3 per day and $20 per week. Car rental companies maintain that these rate hikes have not been sufficient to meet their fiscal needs.

Computer game addicts can now study the subject via a new masters degree at Northumbria University. From September, Northumbria will be the first university in the country to offer a master of arts degree in computer game studies. The course can be taken either full-time over one year, or part-time over two. The degree will look at computer games as cultural artefacts worthy of serious interpretation, analysis and reflection. The course aims to introduce the idea that the computer game is an expressive cultural medium of broad scope and significance and explore the computer game as a cultural phenomenon.

One possible health outcome that may be adversely affected by intentional weight loss is immune function. Natural killer (NK) cells, a subset of mononuclear cells, which are an important component of the immune system, lack antigen-specific receptors and are capable of killing cancer cells and virus-infected cells. The aim of a cross-sectional study was to investigate history of intentional weight loss and associations with NK cytotoxicity and lymphocyte subpopulations among healthy, overweight, postmenopausal women. It was hypothesized that repeated intentional weight loss may be associated with lower immune function measures. The subjects (n=114) were a subset of a female study population recruited for an exercise intervention trial. The subjects had to meet the following criteria: postmenopausal, age 50 to 75 years, in good health; sedentary; nonsmoking; and had been at a stable body weight for at least 3 months. Body weight and height was measured. The subjects completed a questionnaire that included the following question: “Within the last 20 years, when you were not pregnant or sick, did you ever lose 10 pounds or more on purpose?” In other questions, women were queried regarding how often they had lost between 120 lb and 19 lb, between 20 lb and 49 lb, 50 lb or more, and how long they had been within 10 lb of their current weight. Demographic information was obtained. Food frequency questionnaires were used to assess dietary intake and alcohol consumption. The use of nutritional supplements was ascertained. Flow cytometry was used to measure NK cytotoxicity at four effector-to-target (E:T) ratios and four enumerating phenotyping lymphocytes. Multiple linear regression was used to investigate associations between weigh loss within the past 20 years and current immune function. Women who reported ever intentionally losing > 10 lbs were found to have lower measured NK cytotoxicity than those who did not (24.7% [+ or -] 12.1% vs. 31.1% [+ or -] 14.7%, respectively, at E:T 25:1; P = .01). Additionally, increasing frequency of previous intentional weight loss was associated with lower NK cytotoxicity (P = .003, trend). As an independent predictor, longer duration of recent weight stability was associated with higher NK cytotoxicity (21.6% [+ or -] 11.9%, 24.4%[+ or -] 11.0%, and 31.9%[+ or -] 14.4% for <2,>2 to <5, and >5 years of weight stability, respectively; P = .0002, trend). The frequency of weight loss episodes was also associated with differences in the number and proportion of NK cells.
This is part 4 of 12 in the series on weight management for people with spinal-cord impairments (SCI). This months focus is on setting personal goals. Goals give you purpose and direction and keep you on track to better health. You probably had a “goal weight” in mind when you started a weight-loss program. It is important to remember that losing weight too quickly puts you at risk for health problems such as gall stones, electrolyte imbalance, and lean-muscle loss. In fact, any weight loss can improve health for people who are obese. It is better to maintain a moderate weight loss over a prolonged period than to regain from a marked weight loss. A person who is obese and weighs 250 pounds might lose as much as 5 pounds in a week, which is about 2%. Someone who is overweight and weighs 200 pounds might lose as much as 2 pounds in one week, which is about 1%. The rate at which you lose weight declines over time because your body metabolism slows down with weight loss. Research shows that in a well-designed weight-loss program, it is generally achievable to lose weight by about 10% in six months. If this initial target is achieved, fuller weight loss can be considered. Diet and physical activity usually need to be revised in six months to continue to lose weight.
