A Practical Optimisation Technique for a Queueing System
Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1977A scheduling problem in an outpatient clinic is considered. First the system is represented by means of a simple queueing model. The problem of minimising the patients' total queueing time is then formulated as a non-linear program and solved by applying the Kuhn-Tucker conditions.

Comparison of Hive's query optimisation techniques
International Journal of Big Data Intelligence, 2018The ever increasing size of data sets in this big data era has forced data analytics to be moved from traditional RDBMS systems to distributed technologies like Hadoop. Since data analysts are more familiar with SQL than the MapReduce programming paradigm, HiveQL was built on Hadoop's MapReduce framework. Traditional RDBMS query optimisation techniques

Dynamic optimisation of price arbitrage techniques
2016 IEEE 2nd International Forum on Research and Technologies for Society and Industry Leveraging a better tomorrow (RTSI), 2016Recent innovations introduced in the electric power system, especially the significant usage of unpredictable renewable energy sources, are making to perform the needed matching of generated and absorbed electricity more difficult than in the past.

Optimisation techniques in vaginal cuff brachytherapy
The British Journal of Radiology, 2009The aim of this study was to explore whether an in-house dosimetry protocol and optimisation method are able to produce a homogeneous dose distribution in the target volume, and how often optimisation is required in vaginal cuff brachytherapy. Treatment planning was carried out for 109 fractions in 33 patients who underwent high dose rate iridium-192 ...

Constraint resolution using optimisation techniques
Computers & Graphics, 2001Abstract Constraint-based CAD systems are useful for handling design applications in which the precise rules are not known beforehand. The designer can introduce new constraints as these become apparent as the design task proceeds. A variety of ways for resolving constraints currently exist.

Distributed Task Allocation Optimisation Techniques
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2018Multi-agent task allocation is a complex problem compounded by various constraints such as deadlines, agent capabilities, and communication delays. In high-stake real-time environments, such as rescue missions, it is difficult to predict in advance what the requirements of the mission will be, and what resources will be available.

Optimising cryosurgery technique.
Australian family physician, 2017Cryosurgery is an effective, simple and inexpensive treatment used extensively in general practice and dermatology. It is used most commonly for actinic keratoses and warts; however, a large number of benign, premalignant and malignant skin diseases can also be treated.The objective of this article is to help readers improve their cryosurgery technique.

An Optimised Optional Randomised Response Technique
International Statistical ReviewSummaryIn this paper, we begin by reviewing the optional randomised response technique estimator (ORRTE) developed by Chaudhuri and Mukerjee for estimating the proportion of a sensitive characteristic in a population. We show that their estimator is unbiased and has smaller variance than the Warner's estimator.
