OptiFlux is a project optimization instrument which helps in the decisionmaking process.
From the results, basic data and some useful measures can be provided for project optimization.
The software was developed using consolidated methodologies and practices relationships, aiming at the technical and economical project optimization.
It is envisaged that it will be useful for identification of areas in which land consolidation is required, for evaluation of consolidation projects, and for consolidation project optimization.
For a real project, optimization of field operations usually requires consideration of economic indicators, such as net present value (NPV) as objective function so polymer and other costs are included in the decision 3process.
It is envisaged that it will be useful for identification of areas in which land consolidation is most urgent, for evaluation of consolidation projects, and for consolidation project optimization.
The performance of the proposed methodology has been successfully tested through the analysis of a realistic case and compared with other collaborative approaches and the classic single-project optimization methods already existing in the literature.
The project optimization design for envelope renovation could be determined by the technical and economic analysis considering the impact of house orientation, windows-to-wall ratio, types of insulation materials and windows.
This work was carried out as part of the POSITIVE project (Optimization of Positron Emission Tomography based Target Volume Delineation in Head and Neck Radiotherapy), which is funded through Cancer Research Wales grant No. 7061.
These findings are correlated with the recommendation of the European collaborative project Optimization of Radiation Protection for Medical Staff (ORAMED) to multiply by a factor of 6 the reading of the TLD when placed on the palm side of the P1 position of the non-dominant hand in order to estimate the maximum local skin dose [6].
LS: participated in the conception and design of the project, optimization and DNA extraction for the PCR analysis, data analysis and preparation of the manuscript.
