Project Portfolio Selection Under Uncertainty by Fuzzy and Robust Optimization Methods
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kianfar, Farhad (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis, project portfolio selection under uncertainty conditions is considered. Firstly, the problem is modeled with mathematical programming and also this problem has two objective functions that contain maximizing profitability and minimizing surplus resources. Each project has resource costs and contract prices. In addition, uncertainties for these parameters should be considered. Secondly, another innovation in this research is considering Cost/Time trade-off for duration and cost. To satisfy this subject, each project has different scenarios with various duration and usage of resources. Since the project has two objective functions, ε-constraint method is applied to optimizing...

Abstract
Gelatin is a denatured protein derived from collagen by thermohydrolysis and has a rheological property of thermo reversible transformation between sol & gel. Gelatin is one of the most important biopolymers, with widespread applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and photographic industries. Gelatin is commercially made from skins and skeletons of bovine and porcine and mammalian gelatin has been intensively studied. However, mammalian gelatin is at risk for contamination with bovine spongiform encephalopathy and increase in demand for kosher and halal foods have created a demand for fish gelatin for food applications. Therefore, the objective of this study was to extract gelatin...
