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 ...

Optimisation or Learning? Appropriate Choice of Models and Methods for Sequential Decision‐Making in Power System Operation

Energy Internet, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Power system operation is inherently a sequential decision‐making problem, traditionally addressed through optimisation models built upon high‐quality load forecasts. However, the rapid proliferation of renewable generation and price‐responsive demands, such as electric vehicles and merchant energy storage, has introduced multiple sources of ...

From Tap Water Access to Income‐Generating Work Time: Evidence From Rural China

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether household tap water access affects income‐generating work time among employed rural adults in China. While existing studies have mainly examined the effects of improved water access on employment participation, off‐farm transition and household income, this paper focuses on the intensive margin of labour supply ...

GOVERNING THE CLOUD: Infrastructural Statecraft and the Political Ecology of Digital Expansion in Oregon

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.

Variable‐Rate Texture Compression: Real‐Time Rendering with JPEG

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Although variable‐rate compressed image formats such as JPEG are widely used to efficiently encode images, they have not found their way into real‐time rendering due to special requirements such as random access to individual texels. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of variable‐rate texture compression on modern GPUs using the ...
