Optimizing Operating Room Scheduling

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2015
This article reviews the management of an operating room (OR) schedule and use of the schedule to add value to an organization. We review the methodology of an OR block schedule, daily OR schedule management, and post anesthesia care unit patient flow.

Global optimization‐preserving operators

Kybernetes, 2003
In this paper, some kinds of operators, defined on a class of real functions depending on a single real variable, preserving some fundamental properties for solving global optimization problems are introduced. These operators allow the transfer of the search of the global extremum of a determined objective function, f into those of its transformed ...

Optimizing Operator/Contractor Relationships,

Proceedings of SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, 1989
Abstract The paper that we wish to present concerns operator/contractor relationships. Specifically it will define the proper attitudes of both parties towards communications, bidding procedures, pre-spud conferences, contract per-formance, billing procedures and contract eval-uation.

Optimally isotropic Laplacian operator

IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 1999
Laplacian operators used in the literature for digital image processing are not rotationally invariant. We examine the anisotropy of 3 x 3 Laplacian operators for images quantized in square pixels, and find the operator which has the minimum overall anisotropy.

UPC Collective Operations Optimization

2007
In any parallel programming language; collective communication operations involve more than one thread/process and act on multiple streams of data. The language's API provides both algorithmic and run-time system support to optimize the performance of these operations.

Operational Optimization of Multigeneration Systems

2012
Multigeneration (MG) of different energy vectors, such as electricity, heat, cooling, and others, represents a viable alternative to improve energy generation efficiencyand decrease the environmental burden of energy systems. In particular, trigeneration plants can be efficiently deployed to supply complex energy services inurban areas, with typically ...

Optimal Operation of Public Lotteries

Management Science, 1975
Public lotteries form an important source of revenue for many national and state governments, but little quantitative effort has been applied to their efficient operation. We here formulate a model in which the net revenue per unit time from the operation of a lottery depends upon the prizes offered, the price charged per ticket, and the time interval

Optimal operations for visual categorization

Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Internet Multimedia Computing and Service, 2010
Bag-of-words is the state-of-the-art method used in visual categorization. The performance of visual categorization depends on four main operations: the detection of interest point, the description of interest point, the design of classifier, and the construction of codebook.

Sub-Optimization in Operations Problems

Journal of the Operations Research Society of America, 1953
The validity and therefore the usefulness of operations research depend upon the skill with which projects are designed and particularly upon the shrewdness with which criteria (“payoffs,” “objectives functions”) are selected. The criterion problem has been relatively neglected in operations research literature, and has apparently usually been “solved”
