Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Security agencies around the world use bodyguards to protect government officials and public figures. In this paper, we consider a two‐person zero‐sum game between a defender who allocates such bodyguards to protect several targets and an attacker who chooses one target to attack.

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.

Conditional Generative Modeling for Enhanced Credit Risk Management in Supply Chain Finance
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cross‐border e‐commerce (CBEC) has created significant opportunities for small‐ and medium‐sized sellers, yet financing remains a critical challenge due to their limited credit histories. Third‐party logistics (3PL)‐led supply chain finance (SCF) has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging in‐transit inventory as ...

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT We are concerned with the stability of a transferable‐utility cooperative (TU) game. First, the concept of core can be weakened so that the blocking of changes is limited to only those with multilateral backings. This principle of consensual blocking, as well as the traditional core‐defining one of unilateral blocking and one straddling in ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Key Findings: An assimilation methodology is established for the Tomorrow.io microwave sounder (TMS) flying on CubeSats in sun‐synchronous and inclined orbits, and in all cloud scenes. The TMS has a significant impact on weather forecast lead times up to 3 days in the Tropics in a research‐quality numerical weather prediction setting, and yields water ...

Digital Twin Simulations Toolbox of the Nitrogen‐Vacancy Center in Diamond
Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.The Nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a key platform within quantum technologies. This work introduces a Python based digital‐twin of the NV, where the spin dynamics of the system is simulated without relying on commonly used approximations, such as the adoption of rotating frame. The digital‐twin is validated through three different examples,

Optimal Homogeneous ℒp$$ {\boldsymbol{\mathcal{L}}}_{\boldsymbol{p}} $$‐Gain Controller
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nonlinear ℋ∞$$ {\mathscr{H}}_{\infty } $$‐controllers are designed for arbitrarily weighted, continuous homogeneous systems with a focus on systems affine in the control input. Based on the homogeneous ℒp$$ {\mathcal{L}}_p $$‐norm, the input–output behavior is quantified in terms of the homogeneous ℒp$$ {\mathcal{L}}_p $$‐gain as a ...
