Assembly sequence optimization using the bees algorithm

The determination of the assembly sequence is an important decision in assembly planning. Optimum sequence selection is challenging because of several reasons such as optimization criteria and precedence constraints. Furthermore, a product can be assembled in many different alternatives in accordance with different sequences, thereby making the optimization of assembly sequences a multi-modal solution optimization problem. To allow the process planner to decide, unique optimum solutions are required to be develop as much as possible. In this study, the assembly sequence of a product was optimized by applying an algorithm known as the Bees Algorithm. To assess the performance of this Algorithm, the results are compared with results found by other algorithms. It is shown that, the Bees Algorithm obtained similar optimum fitness value with other algorithms but with the greatest number of optimal assembly sequences. As a result, the Bees Algorithm outperforms other algorithms in dealing with the multi-modal optimization problem of assembly sequence optimization

Cinematic Influence: The Role of Film in Shaping Malaysians' Travel Intentions and Destination Choices

Film tourism has emerged as a significant factor in enhancing tourist numbers by drawing visitors to locations depicted in movies and dramas. This study explores films' influence on Malaysians' perceptions and intentions to travel to these destinations. Utilizing the push and pull theory, the research examines how movies affect Malaysians' travel motivations and destination choices. Data were gathered through an online survey involving 267 Malaysian moviegoers, selected via convenience sampling. The findings indicate that several factors, including the reflection of personal values and interests in movies, significantly influence the intention to travel. Respondents expressed a stronger connection and likelihood to visit destinations featured in films that resonate with their interests. The study suggests that future research could employ different methodologies further to explore the impact of movies on tourist perceptions globally. Additionally, the findings underscore the potential for filmmakers, destination marketing organizations (DMOs), and local authorities to leverage films as powerful marketing tools to enhance tourist demand for real-life film locations

Differences between healthy and Ganoderma boninense infected oil palm seedlings using spectral reflectance of young leaf data

Ganoderma boninense (G.boninense) is the causal agent of basal stem rot (BSR) which significantly reduced the productivity of oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia. At early stage, the disease did not show any physical symptoms that could be seen with naked eyes resulted in detection difficulties. To date, there was no effective detection for this disease, and conventional methods such as manual and laboratory-based required trained specialists as well as time-consuming. Therefore, this study was conducted using hyperspectral remote sensing to investigate the differences in spectral reflectance of young leaf (frond one (F1) of healthy and G. boninense infected oil palm seedlings. The seedlings were inoculated with G. boninense pathogen at five months old. At five months after inoculation, 558 spectral signatures of F1 were extracted from acquired hyperspectral images. Noise removal was done to the extracted spectral signatures to remove outliers in the data. Then, the spectral signatures were averaged and plotted to observe the differences. Differences in reflectance of healthy and G. boninense infected seedlings were seen evidently in the near-infrared (NIR) region. Thus, this study showed evidence that F1 spectral reflectance has the ability to detect early stage of G. boninense infection at oil palm seedlings

Identification of a suitable machine learning model for detection of asymptomatic Ganoderma boninense infection in oil palm seedlings using hyperspectral data

In Malaysia, oil palm industry has made an enormous contribution to economic and social prosperity. However, it has been affected by basal stem rot (BSR) disease caused by Ganoderma boninense (G. boninense) fungus. The conventional practice to detect the disease is through manual inspection by a human expert every two weeks. This study aimed to identify the most suitable machine learning model to classify the inoculated (I) and uninoculated (U) oil palm seedlings with G. boninense before the symptoms’ appearance using hyperspectral imaging. A total of 1122 sample points were collected from frond 1 and frond 2 of 28 oil palm seedlings at the age of 10 months old, with 540 and 582 reflectance spectra extracted from U and I seedlings, respectively. The significant bands were identified based on the high separation between U and I seedlings, where the differences were observed significantly in the NIR spectrum. The reflectance values of each selected band were later used as input parameters of the 23 machine learning models developed using decision trees, discriminant analysis, logistic regression, naïve Bayes, support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (kNN), and ensemble modelling with various types of kernels. The bands were optimized according to the classification accuracy achieved by the models. Based on the F-score and performance time, it was demonstrated that coarse Gaussian SVM with 9 bands performed better than the models with 35, 18, 14, and 11 bands. The coarse Gaussian SVM achieved an F-score of 95.21% with a performance time of 1.7124 s when run on a personal computer with an Intel® Core™ i7-8750H processor and 32 GB RAM. This early detection could lead to better management in the oil palm industry
