The Vehicle Routing Problem with Divisible Deliveries and Pickups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The vehicle routing problem with divisible deliveries and pickups is a new and interesting model within reverse logistics. Each customer may have a pickup and delivery demand that have to be served with capacitated vehicles. The pickup and the delivery

More Than 10 Years on: Does a State‐of‐the‐Art Review and Synthesis Offer New Frameworks to Guide Future Design for Remanufacturing Research?

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is strong evidence that design for remanufacturing (DfRem) can reduce initial‐design carbon emissions by up to 30%, and that product design can critically affect remanufacturing feasibility, yet academic adoption of DfRem remains limited.

Workload Equity in Vehicle Routing Problems: A Survey and Analysis

open access: yes, 2018
Over the past two decades, equity aspects have been considered in a growing number of models and methods for vehicle routing problems (VRPs). Equity concerns most often relate to fairly allocating workloads and to balancing the utilization of resources ...

On the use of biased-randomized algorithms for solving non-smooth optimization problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Soft constraints are quite common in real-life applications. For example, in freight transportation, the fleet size can be enlarged by outsourcing part of the distribution service and some deliveries to customers can be postponed as well; in inventory ...

Numerical and experimental study on P‐wave propagation across a rock joint with different orientations

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Joint orientation significantly affects P‐wave velocity, with the highest velocity at zero‐degree angles, decreasing to 30° as the angle increases. The velocity increases slightly from 30 to 45 degrees but sharply decreases from 45 to 90 degrees. Abstract Determination of the required parameters in different science contexts using the ultrasonic wave ...

The vehicle routing problem with relaxed priority rules

open access: yesEURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics, 2021
The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is one of the most studied topics in Operations Research. Among the numerous variants of the VRP, this research addresses the VRP with relaxed priority rules (VRP-RPR) in which customers are assigned to several priority ...

Double quantum dot with tunable coupling in an enhancement-mode silicon metal-oxide semiconductor device with lateral geometry

open access: yes, 2010
We present transport measurements of a tunable silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor double quantum dot device with lateral geometry. Experimentally extracted gate-to-dot capacitances show that the device is largely symmetric under the gate voltages applied.
