The effect of vibration on the axle has been considered. Vibration measurements at different speeds have been performed on the axle of a running rail vehicle to figure out displacement, acceleration, time, and frequency response. Based on the experimental works, equivalent stress has been used to find out life of the axles for 90% and 10% reliability. Calculated life values of the rail vehicle axle have been compared with the real life data and it is found that the life of a vehicle axle taking into account the vibration effects is in good agreement with the real life of the axle.

Beekeepers are faced with quite a number of challenges such as selection of fields and enhancement of honey production. In this paper crisp deterministic honey bee production model was formulated in an attempt to optimize the distribution of beehives in the apiary in order to maximize production of honey and minimize unhealthy competition among foraging bees which often arises as a result of overcrowding. The model was characterized using Weighted sum model (WSM) and Analytic Hierarchical Model (AHM). Finally the validity of the model was tested with the real life data and the results obtained shows that proper distribution of the bee hives in the apiary is important to maximize production and minimize unpleasant fields.

The paper aims at establishing the output-to-input relationship of the real-life adult depression data using a neural network (NN) model. The said model has been developed to diagnose and detect the associated severity (grade) of the illness. An intelligent NN-based reverse model has been trained through batch mode and put to test on another set of real-life data. Reverse mapping of this model has been developed to isolate significantly contributing input components (factors) for any given case to expedite the preventive procedure for further deterioration as well as the start of treatment.

Public transport driver scheduling problems are well known to be NP-hard. Although some mathematically based methods are being used in the transport industry, there is room for improvement. A hybrid approach incorporating a genetic algorithm (GA) is presented. The role of the GA is to derive a small selection of good shifts to seed a greedy schedule construction heuristic. A group of shifts called a relief chain is identi-fied and recorded. The relief chain is then inherited by the offspring and used by the GA for schedule construction. The new approach has been tested using real-life data sets, some of which represent very large problem instances. The results are generally better than those compiled by experienced schedulers and are comparable to solutions found by integer linear programming (ILP). In some cases, solutions were obtained when the ILP failed within practical computational limits.
