International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we address the problem of routing a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) to serve a set of customers, geographically distributed, within their time windows. We assume that EVs may also be recharged en route, and the amount of energy recharged at a recharging station (RS) is a decision variable itself, that is, partial recharges are ...

Vessel arrival planning with full information
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Planning efficiency and timely arrival of vessels is crucial to smooth operations of maritime transport networks, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and minimizing operational costs. Coordination between vessel operators and terminals has the potential to reduce costs, fuel consumption, and waiting time.

Evaluation of drone system for thinning operations–a case study in Sweden
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Thinning operations in forestry typically involve a two‐machine system (TMS) with a harvester and a forwarder. Its productivity in different forest conditions is well documented. To date, drones have been used for data collection and surveillance but not as an alternative to a TMS.

RESTLESS BANDIT MARGINAL PRODUCTIVITY INDICES I: SINGLEPROJECT CASE AND OPTIMAL CONTROL OF A MAKE-TO-STOCK M/G/1 QUEUE [PDF]
This paper develops a framework based on convex optimization and economic ideas to formulate and solve by an index policy the problem of optimal dynamic effort allocation to a generic discrete-state restless bandit (i.e. binary-action: work/rest) project,

Marginal productivity index policies for problems of admission control and routing to parallel queues with delay [PDF]
In this paper we consider the problem of admission control of Bernoulli arrivals to a buffer with geometric server, in which the controller’s actions take effect one period after the actual change in the queue length.

Lost in the Noise: How IPO Suspensions Distract Venture Capitalists From Monitoring Portfolio Firms
Journal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine how regulatory suspensions of initial public offerings (IPOs) affect venture capitalists’ (VCs’) post‐IPO monitoring of portfolio firms in China. Using a difference‐in‐differences design that exploits three major IPO suspension episodes as quasi‐natural experiments, we provide causal evidence that these shocks divert VCs’ attention ...

BIOMERO 2.0: End‐to‐end FAIR infrastructure for bioimaging data import, analysis, and provenance
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract We present BIOMERO 2.0, a major evolution of the BIOMERO framework that transforms OMERO into a FAIR‐compliant (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable), provenance‐aware bioimaging platform. BIOMERO 2.0 integrates data import, preprocessing, analysis, and workflow monitoring through an OMERO.web plugin and containerised components ...
