Restless bandit marginal productivity indices I: singleproject case and optimal control of a make-to-stock M/G/1 queue [PDF]
, 2004 This paper develops a framework based on convex optimization and economic ideas to formulate and solve by an index policy the problem of optimal dynamic effort allocation to a generic discrete-state restless bandit (i.e. binary-action: work/rest) project,

Sub‐optimal Internet of Thing devices deployment using branch and bound method
IET Networks, EarlyView.The main contributions of this paper are (1) IoT network deployment problem formation as MILP problem to optimise the transmission among network nodes, and (2) New BB method with a machine learning function to reduce the computational complexity. Abstract The Internet of Thing (IoT) network deployments are widely investigated in 4G and 5G systems and ...

Distributed computing for the reconstruction of multi‐terabyte tomographic X‐ray imaging datasets
Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.As tomographic datasets from synchrotrons continue to increase in volume, so rises the challenge of reconstructing said data. Here we present a solution utilizing high‐performance computing capabilities to split the process into multiple smaller tasks, which can be solved without overwhelming a single compute node.

Climate Change and (Mal)Adaptation in Tourism‐Intensive Alpine Regions
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Tourism, especially in winter, accounts for a large share of economic income in Alpine regions. At the same time, these regions are more severely affected by climate change, leading to shorter winter seasons and reduced snow cover. This presents a pressing issue for areas reliant on income from winter tourism through activities such as skiing.

What England Is and What It Claims to Be: Orwell on National Identity
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article suggests that George Orwell's body of work offers a rather unique and insightful two‐part conception of national identity in the context of England, made up of a moral inheritance—the values of liberty, fairness and decency—and a lived sensibility—the fluid, experiential quality of collective life expressed in shared customs ...

MARGINAL PRODUCTIVITY INDEX POLICIES FOR SCHEDULING A MULTICLASS DELAY-/LOSS-SENSITIVE QUEUE [PDF]
We address the problem of scheduling a multiclass M/M/1 queue with a finite dedicated buffer for each class. Some classes are delay-sensitive, modeling real-time traffic (e.g.

The Gender of Fossil Fuels: Oil and Domestic Perils in Mandate Palestine
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article explores the gender dynamics behind the rise of kerosene – an oil derivative – as the main domestic fuel in Mandate Palestine. It argues that these dynamics were constitutive in determining who began to use oil, where and for what purposes, in turn demonstrating that women in Palestine were the promoters and targets of a campaign ...
