A Novel Two‐Stage Flexible Flow Shop Batch Scheduling Model for Grinding Workshops
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT The growing need for data storage in data centers has increased the demand for mechanical hard disks due to their low cost and high reliability. Aluminum substrates are the most popular base plates for mechanical hard disks because of their high hardness and low cost.

Towards Comparative and Aggregate Vulnerability: An Analysis of Welfare Distributions in Rural Provinces in Thailand and Vietnam [PDF]
Several measures of vulnerability to poverty have been suggested in the literature. In practise, only little is known about the robustness of vulnerability comparisons based on these often quite specific measures.

Information Design for Early‐Stage Dose‐Finding Trials
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT To enhance enrollment rates in early‐stage dose‐finding clinical trials, we propose an information design approach, where the clinical investigator (CI) commits to an information releasing mechanism (IRM) based on the treatment's uncertain efficacy and toxicity to encourage patients to participate in the trial.

Optimal Designs and Inspection Time Decisions for Gamma Accelerated Degradation Tests
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analytically derives optimal designs for gamma accelerated degradation tests while incorporating inspection time as a design variable under both D‐ and V‐optimality criteria. Under D‐optimality, we prove that the optimal design allocates test units exclusively to the lowest and highest stress levels and adopts the longest inspection

Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In response to the increasing volume of parcels, last‐mile delivery innovations are exploring the integration of multiple delivery modes. The most prominent examples are delivery vans that, next to being the base for the delivery tasks of their human drivers, also function as mobile launching platforms for drones or autonomous delivery robots.

Some recent developments on majorization inequalities in probability and statistics
, 1994 We review some recent developments on majorization inequalities in probability and statistics. In section 2 we describe some related generalizations, including majorization in an integral form, multivariate majorization, stochastic majorization, and ...
