Summary: This study integrates preventive maintenance into the disassembly line balancing (DLB) problem by establishing a mixed integer linear programming model and designing an improved genetic simulated annealing (IGSA) algorithm based on the disassembly characteristics. The proposed model and algorithm are then applied to a microwave disassembly line, showing that the integrated optimization can improve disassembly efficiency, workstation utilization, and reduce time costs.

Summary: This study introduces a method of adaptive disassembly sequence planning for VR maintenance training using deep reinforcement learning. The disassembly process is described using a Disassembly Petri net, and the DSP problem is solved using DQN. The training of DQN is achieved through backpropagation of errors, and the method shows great potential in on-site maintenance with uncertain faults.

Summary: This paper proposes a method for solving multi-objective DSP problems in an uncertain environment through stochastic planning. The improved peafowl optimization algorithm (IPOA) is used to efficiently search for optimal or near-optimal solutions. By comparing with real-world industrial case and other advanced algorithms, the superiority of IPOA in solving DSP problems is demonstrated.

Summary: This paper addresses a flow shop scheduling problem where machines are randomly unavailable due to faults, requiring corrective and scheduled maintenance activities to improve availability. Two novel meta-heuristic algorithms, derived from a standard Genetic Algorithm and Harmony Search, are proposed to optimize the integrated job-maintenance schedule for minimizing makespan and earliness-tardiness penalties. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithms are efficient in approaching this integrated scheduling problem.

Summary: Urban pluvial flooding (UPF) causes various socio-environmental impacts and is driven by a complex set of interconnected factors. The impacts of UPF are increasing due to biophysical change and the interactions between human and physical dimensions of the urban environment. Integrated approaches such as citizen science and socio-hydrology have been explored to address UPF, but they have limitations in capturing its multi-dimensional nature. This paper reviews current community-based approaches to UPF research and identifies research gaps, providing suggestions for future research with a transdisciplinary, transformative citizen science approach.

Summary: Fe-Ni alloys have excellent heat resistance properties and are widely used in aerospace manufacturing. The study aims to predict the surface roughness of Supra50 parts based on cutting parameters in the milling process. The results show that the best surface roughness is obtained with the lowest feed per tooth, while cutting speed and radial depth have little effect on roughness quality.
