On‐Time Meal Delivery Assisted by Drone Resupply

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ensuring timely delivery is crucial with the increasing competition in online meal delivery services. This requires the industry to adopt new technologies and the corresponding operational models, including the use of drones. Concerning the desired features of meal delivery, such as safety and reliability, we propose an operational model that ...

Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting

From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Hodgkin and non‐Hodgkin lymphomas in the post‐antiretroviral therapy era according to HIV virological suppression

open access: yesHIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Lymphomas remain among the most frequent HIV‐associated malignancies, with risk persisting despite effective virological control. This study describes the clinical, epidemiological and prognostic characteristics of lymphomas (both Hodgkin [HL] and non‐Hodgkin [NHL]) in people living with HIV (PLWH), according to virological ...

Collaborative platooning and routing for mixed fleets of electric automated vehicles and conventional trucks

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

An effective and efficient matheuristic for the electric vehicle routing problem with capacitated recharging stations

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we address the problem of routing a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) to serve a set of customers, geographically distributed, within their time windows. We assume that EVs may also be recharged en route, and the amount of energy recharged at a recharging station (RS) is a decision variable itself, that is, partial recharges are ...
