Minimizing the sum of flow times with batching and delivery in a supply chain
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.The aim of this thesis is to study one of the classical scheduling objectives that is of minimizing the sum of flow times, in the context of a supply chain ...

An Online Mechanism for Multi-Unit Demand and its Application to Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Charging [PDF]
We develop an online mechanism for the allocation of an expiring resource to a dynamic agent population. Each agent has a non-increasing marginal valuation function for the resource, and an upper limit on the number of units that can be allocated in any ...

The northern regions of China face the challenges of the mismatch of the power supply and demand, as well as serious wind curtailment issues, caused mainly by the limitation of the “with heat to determine electricity” mode for combined heat and power ...

We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Coordination of the supply chain schedules with re-scheduling considerations
Abstract We consider two synchronized schedules in the supply chain (e.g., an assembly line schedule at a producing company and a supply schedule for a module). This is a multi-objective dynamic scheduling problem with constrained machine capacities. The optimization criteria include total lateness minimization and throughput maximization.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Practical large-scale coordinated scheduling in LTE-Advanced networks
In LTE-Advanced, the same spectrum can be re-used in neighboring cells, hence coordinated scheduling is employed to improve the overall network performance (cell throughput, fairness, and energy efficiency) by reducing inter-cell interference.
