Improved Lower Bounds for the Early/Tardy Scheduling Problem with No Idle Time [PDF]
In this paper we consider the single machine earliness/tardiness scheduling problem with no idle time. Two of the lower bounds previously developed for this problem are based on lagrangean relaxation and the multiplier adjustment method, and require an ...

Do Minutes Matter? Connecting Tardiness to Academic Achievement [PDF]
, 2014 Within the scope of all that is expected to be accomplished in education, what difference does a tardy make? This study was designed to examine the significance of tardiness, as it relates to student achievement, as measured by the results of the state ...

Single-Machine Scheduling with Upper Bounded Maintenance Time under the Deteriorating Effect
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2013 We consider a single-machine scheduling problem with upper bounded actual processing time and upper bounded maintenance time under deteriorating effect. The actual processing time of a job is a position-dependent power function.

Heuristics for the Early/Tardy Scheduling Problem with Release Dates [PDF]
In this paper we consider the single machine earliness/tardiness scheduling problem with di?erent release dates and no unforced idle time. We analyse the performance of several dispatch rules, a greedy procedure and a decision theory local search ...

Covalent Organic Frameworks in Smart Food Packaging: Advances, Challenges, and Future Prospects
Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT Food preservation challenges have positioned packaging as a rapidly evolving, innovation‐driven field, with smart packaging offering transformative solutions. Among advanced materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted growing attention due to their permanent porosity, structural tunability, high surface area, and chemical ...

Improved Heuristics for the Early/Tardy Scheduling Problem with No Idle Time [PDF]
In this paper we consider the single machine earliness/tardiness scheduling problem with no idle time. We present two new heuristics, a dispatch rule and a greedy procedure, and also consider the best of the existing dispatch rules.
