    • Guillier, S.; Muñoz, V.; Rogan, J.; Zarama, R.; Valdivia, J. A. (Elsevier, 2017)
      First, we estimate the connectivity properties of a predefined (fixed node locations) spatial network which optimizes a connectivity functional that balances construction and transportation costs. In this case we obtain a ...
    • Chacra Garrido, Emir Nicolás (Universidad de Chile, 2022)
      Los fabricantes de guitarras han lidiado siempre con la variabilidad de las propiedades de la madera, ya que dos placas cortadas del mismo tronco podrían tener un comportamiento acústico muy diferente. Además, el calentamiento ...
    • Poblete Ramírez, Víctor; Becerra Yoma, Néstor; Stern, Richard M. (Elsevier, 2014)
      This paper describes the development of an optimal sigmoidal rate-level function that is a component of many models of the peripheral auditory system. The optimization makes use of a set of criteria defined exclusively ...

    • Jarufe, Claudio; Rodríguez, Rafael; Tapia, Valeria; Astudillo, Pablo; Monasterio, David; Molina, Rocio; Mena Mena, Fausto Patricio; Reyes Guzmán, Nicolás Andrés; Bronfman Aguiló, Leonardo (IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018)
      We present a novel approach to design a high-performance tapered slot antenna (TSA) at millimeter-wave frequencies. Commonly, TSAs are designed using profiles expressed as simple functions (linear, exponential, Fermi, or ...
    • Mejía Manzano, Luis Alberto; Lienqueo Contreras, María Elena; Escalante Vázquez, Edgardo J.; Rito Palomares, Marco; Asenjo de Leuze, Juan (Wiley, 2017)
      BACKGROUND: The efficient, controlled and robust purification of conjugates from PEGylation has a growing demand in the biopharmaceutical's market. In general, the yield and purity reached through the conventional ...
    • Heller, Rene; Hippke, Michael; Kervella, Pierre (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017)
      New means of interstellar travel are now being considered by various research teams, assuming lightweight spaceships to be accelerated via either laser or solar radiation to a significant fraction of the speed of light ...
    • Seguel, F.; Soto, I.; Krommenacker, N.; Maldonado, M.; Becerra Yoma, Néstor (Elsevier, 2015)
      This communication revisits previously reported results on froth depth profiling along a rougher flotation bank. The optimization problem is reformulated as to maximize the overall bank Cu recovery subject to a lower bound ...
    • Delle Donne, Diego; Di Tomaso, Valeria; Durán, Guillermo (Sage, 2020)
      A solution strategy based on integer linear programming models has been developed for leaf sweeping operations in the Argentine city of Trenque Lauquen. The aim is to achieve efficiency in the assignment of sweepers to ...
    • Epstein Numhauser, Rafael; Goic Figueroa, Marcel; Weintraub Pohorille, Andrés; Catalán, Jaime; Santibáñez, Pablo; Urrutia, Rodolfo; Cancino, Raúl; Gaete, Sergio; Aguayo, Augusto; Caro Valdés, Felipe (2012-02)
      We present a methodology for long-term mine planning based on a general capacitated multicommodity network flow formulation. It considers underground and open-pit ore deposits sharing multiple downstream processing plants ...
    • Pascual Jiménez, Rodrigo; Godoy, D.; Figueroa, H. (John Wiley & Sons, 2013)
      When a company decides to outsource a service, the most important reasons for doing so usually are to focus on core business, to be able to access high-quality services at lower costs, or to benefit from risk sharing. ...
    • Saavedra Rosas, J.; Jelvez, E.; Amaya, J.; Morales, N. (Southern African Inst Mining Metallurgy, 2016-07)
      A crucial problem in the open pit mining industry is to determine the optimal block scheduling, defining how the orebody will be sequenced for exploitation. An orebody is often comprised of several thousand or million ...
    • Cisternas, F .; Donne, D. Delle; Durán Maggiolo, Guillermo; Polgatiz, C.; Weintraub, A. (2013)
      Salmon farming in Chile constitutes one of the nation's principal food exporting sectors. In the seawater stage, one of the most important in the farm production chain, salmon are cultivated in floating cages fitted with ...
    • Quinteros Grijalva, Martín (Universidad de Chile, 2017)
      This thesis is compused by two research projects developed at Empresa Nacional del petroleo, ENAP. In the first part of this thesis we present an optimization framework for determining the optimal schedule for a fleet of ...
    • Quinteros, Martin; Guignard, Monique; Weintraub Pohorille, Andrés; Llambias, Marc; Tapia, Camilo (Elsevier B.V., 2019)

      The SART (Sulfidization, Acidification, Recycling and Thickening) process has been successfully installed to recover cyanide and copper in seven worldwide gold cyanidation plants in the last 15 years. This technology has ...
    • Yarmuch Guzmán, Juan; Brazil, Marcus; Rubinstein, Hyam; Thomas, Doreen A. (Elsevier, 2020)
      The problem studied in this paper is that of designing the optimal open pit haulage ramp that, for a given ramp width and a maximum ramp gradient, connects two points of the mine, minimising construction and operational ...
    • Smoljanovic Muñoz, Milivoj Antonio (Universidad de Chile, 2012)
