Fueling Tomorrow: Scenario Planning for the Future of Gas Stations

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transport electrification is reshaping the service infrastructures that mediate everyday mobility, yet most electrification scenario studies remain macrolevel and offer limited insight into how incumbent forecourt (gas‐station) networks can adapt under deep uncertainty.

Nearly periodic behavior in the overloaded G/D/s+GI queue

open access: yesStochastic Systems, 2011
Under general conditions, the number of customers in a GI/D/s+GI many-server queue at time t converges to a unique stationary distribution as t → ∞. However, simulations show that the sample paths routinely exhibit nearly periodic behavior over long time

Law of large numbers limits for many-server queues

open access: yesThe Annals of Applied Probability, 2011
This work considers a many-server queueing system in which customers with i.i.d., generally distributed service times enter service in the order of arrival. The dynamics of the system is represented in terms of a process that describes the total number of customers in the system, as well as a measure-valued process that keeps track of the ages of ...

Extending the Technology Acceptance Model to a Circular Economy Context: A Study of Hungary's REpont Deposit‐Refund System

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of the study is to examine the public acceptance of the deposit‐refund system (DRS), introduced in the European Union, through an extended version of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The research supplemented the classic constructs of TAM (behavioral intension, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use) with environmental ...

Reverse Engineering and Performance Evaluation of a Pump Impeller Fabricated With Additive Manufacturing

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study explores the process chain for reverse engineering and additive manufacturing of a water pump impeller in a process plant. Key aspects include digital twin creation, CAD redesign, material certification, Hirtisation postprocessing, and performance testing. Insights highlight iterative design for improved precision and reliability.

EventFlow: Real‐time neuromorphic event‐driven classification of two‐phase boiling flow regimes

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
We present a real‐time flow regime classification framework that integrates neuromorphic event‐driven sensing with deep recurrent neural networks. Unlike traditional frame‐based approaches, our system captures sparse event streams from an event‐based camera, representing only the dynamic brightness changes at the individual pixel level.

Governing Positive Energy Districts: The Role of Legitimation and Identity Across Residential and Industrial Contexts

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing electricity demand from data centres, industrial applications, electric vehicles and domestic heating is creating pressure to develop electricity systems in many parts of the world, but especially in Western countries. In response to challenges such as grid congestion, interconnection queues and climate‐related hazards, network ...

Fluid Approximations of Many-Server Queues with Delayed Feedback and Heterogeneous Service and Patience Times [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We consider many-server queues with delayed feedback where the service (patience) times of new customers and feedback customers are differentiated, and new and feedback customers are served under the first-come-first-serve (FCFS) discipline in the ...

The continuity heuristic: Temporal extrapolation in consumer judgment

open access: yesJournal of Consumer Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract From choosing an established brand over a newcomer to deciding when to replace a product or commit to a subscription, consumers routinely make judgments about how much longer things will last. Across 24 studies (N = 9718), this research introduces and tests the continuity heuristic, an intuitive forecasting strategy in which consumers use how ...

Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Police Patrol and Dispatch

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...
