Velocity‐based stowage policy for a semiautomated fulfillment system
Production and Operations Management, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Online retail fulfillment is increasingly performed by semiautomated fulfillment systems in which inventory is stored in mobile pods that are moved by robotic drives. In this paper, we develop a model that explores the benefits of velocity‐based stowage policies for semiautomated fulfillment systems, also known as robotic mobile fulfillment ...

, 1994 Efficient implementations of priority queues can often be clumsy beasts. We express a functional implementation of binomial queues which is both elegant and efficient. We also quantify some of the differences with other functional implementations.

AUGURAL TERRITORIES: On the Prophetic Organizing of the Mid‐range
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article I introduce the concept of augural territories to theorize the urbanism that emerged during pandemic lockdowns. I draw on ethnographic research in Madrid to examine how community‐based responses—including mutual aid networks, food pantries and neighbourhood associations—disrupted the spatial and temporal logics of territorial ...

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Oregon's wave of data center and semiconductor projects shows how cloud capitalism reorganizes resource systems and territorial governance. Examining Amazon, Google, and Intel, the article traces how fiscal incentives, utility programs, and land‐use instruments are recalibrated to secure hyperscale loads.

Dynamic scheduling strategies for pseudo parallel queues: Observing queues before joining.
, 1991 In many real world systems, servers are assigned to work in parallel to increase the system throughput and resource utilization. A class of multiple server queues, called pseudo parallel queues, was investigated.

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In corporate graduate recruitment worldwide, candidates are often assessed not only on competence but on whether they are deemed relatable. This study theorises relatability as a racialised cultural–affective filter that covertly sustains inequality. Drawing on qualitative interviews, we identify five interlinked processes of self‐presentation,
