Truckload freight transportation utilizing relay points to improve the driving job
(2012-07)
We propose a relay point based approach on a highway transportation network to obtain robust solutions for the truck driver turnover and driver retention problem. We exploit the characteristics of the driver routing problem ...
Sensor based real-time process monitoring for ultra-precision manufacturing processes with non-linearity and non-stationarity
(2013-07)
This research investigates methodologies for real-time process monitoring in ultra-precision manufacturing processes, specifically, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) and ultra-precision machining (UPM), are investigated ...
Proactive approaches for system design under uncertainty applied to network synthesis and capacity planning
(2015-12)
The need to design systems under uncertainty arises frequently in applications such as telecommunication network configuration, airline hub-and-spoke/inter-hub network design, power grid design, transportation system design, ...
Developing and deploying data mining techniques in healthcare
(2017-07)
Improving healthcare is a top priority for all nations. US healthcare expenditure was $3 trillion in 2014. In the same year, the share of GDP assigned to healthcare expenditure was 17.5%. These statistics shows the importance ...
Comparing the performance of ordinal logistic regression and artificial neural network when analyzing ordinal data
(2012-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of the Ordinal Logistic Regression (OLR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models when analyzing ordinal data using different scenarios ...
Economic impact failure mode and effects analysis
(2017-12)
Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a method for reducing or eliminating failure modes in a system. A failure mode occurs when a system does not meet its specification. While FMEA is widely used in different ...
Supply chain coordination under sales effort free riding
(2012-07)
We study a supply chain with one manufacturer and two retail channels, where an online retailer offers a lower price and free-rides a brick-and-mortar retailer's sales effort. The free riding effect reduces brick-and-mortar ...
Data-driven optimization in power systems operations
(2018-06)
Today's power systems are large scale systems consisting of multiple generating stations, load zones (distributors or utilities) and very complex interconnected power transmission networks. One of the major issues for power ...
Sustainable energy management system framework for small and medium sized manufacturing facilities
(2017-07)
The general significance of the topic stems from the fact that energy consumption by the industrial manufacturing sector in the U.S. accounted for one third of total consumption in 2016 and is expected to grow more than ...
Polyhedral combinatorics, complexity and algorithms for k-clubs in graphs
(2012-07)
A k-club is a distance-based graph-theoretic generalization of clique, originally introduced to model cohesive subgroups in social network analysis. The k-clubs represent low diameter clusters in graphs and are suitable ...
