A Novel Approach for Multi-Period Reverse Logistics Network Design under High Uncertainty

International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2017
In this paper, a multi-period multi-echelon reverse logistics network design problem under high extent of uncertainty is addressed. We first formulate and then solve the multi-period network design model using the cloud-based design optimization ...

Sequential Network Design

Journal of Economic Theory
We study dynamic network formation from a centralized perspective. In each period, the social planner builds a single link to connect previously unlinked pairs. The social planner is forward-looking, with instantaneous utility monotonic in the aggregate number of walks of various lengths.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Modulation Bandwidth Investigation of Voltage-Controlled Oscillators Under Periodic Linear Frequency Modulation

IEEE Open Journal of Circuits and Systems
The modulation bandwidth of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is a key design metric that defines its ability to respond to fast tuning voltages and change its frequency accordingly. While prior works have addressed practical methods for measuring it,

Public safety network design for broadband wireless access

Frontiers in Communications and Networks, 2023
Public protection and disaster relief (PPDR) agencies rely on wireless communications to respond in the event of emergencies. Public safety networks (PSNs) provide the wireless network used by emergency services.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Resisting functional telecommunications networks

Vojnotehnički Glasnik, 1997
Some users of telecommunications networks, army forces for example, have requirements which differ from the requirements for public telecommunications networks (PTNs). The difference between PTNs and special requirements networks is analyzed and, for the

Network design for controllability metrics [PDF]

2017 IEEE 56th Annual Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2017
In this paper, we consider the problem of tuning the edge weights of a networked system described by linear time-invariant dynamics. We assume that the topology of the underlying network is fixed and that the set of feasible edge weights is a given polytope.

Design representation as semantic networks

Computers in Industry, 2023
Design representation is a common task in the design process to facilitate learning, analysis, redesign, communication, and other design activities. Traditional representation techniques rely on human expertise and manual construction and are difficult to repeat and scale.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
