Probing color coherence effects in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014-06)
A study of color coherence effects in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 is presented. The data used in the analysis were collected in 2010 with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated ...
Altering the environment to improve appointment system performance
(Informs, 2019-06)
Current research on clinic performance is focused primarily on appointment scheduling rather than shaping the clinical environments. The goal of this study is to investigate the impact of environmental factors on the total ...
Measurement of the B-s(0) ->mu(+)mu(-) branching fraction and search for B-0 -> mu(+)mu(-) with the CMS experiment
(American Physical Society, 2013-09-06)
Results are presented from a search for the rare decays B-s(0) -> mu(+) mu(-) and B-0 -> mu(+) mu(-) in pp collisions at root s = 7 and 8 TeV, with data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5 and 20 fb(-1), ...
The golden rule of forecasting: objections, refinements, and enhancements
(Elsevier, 2015-08)
In providing a “golden rule” for forecasting, Armstrong, Green, and Graefe (this issue) raise aspirations that reliable forecasting is possible. They advocate a conservative approach that mainly involves extrapolating from ...
Robust scheduling and robustness measures for the discrete time/cost trade-off problem
(Elsevier, 2010-12-01)
Projects are often subject to various sources of uncertainties that have a negative impact on activity durations and costs. Therefore, it is crucial to develop effective approaches to generate robust project schedules that ...
Software diversity for improved network security: optimal distribution of software-based shared vulnerabilities
(Informs, 2017-12)
Firms, and other agencies, tend to adopt widely used software to gain economic benefits of scale, which can lead to a software monoculture. This can, in turn, involve the risk of correlated computer systems failure as all ...
An integrated analysis of capacity allocation and patient scheduling in presence of seasonal walk-ins
(Springer Nature, 2019-06)
This study analyzes two decision levels in appointment system design in the context of clinics that face seasonal demand for scheduled and walk-in patients. The macro-level problem addresses access rules dealing with ...
Communicating forecasts: the simplicity of simulated experience
(Elsevier, 2015-08)
It is unclear whether decision makers who receive forecasts expressed as probability distributions over outcomes understand the implications of this form of communication. We suggest a solution based on the fact that people ...
Constraints on parton distribution functions and extraction of the strong coupling constant from the inclusive jet cross section in pp collisions at root s=7TeV
(Springer, 2015-06)
The inclusive jet cross section for proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeVTeV was measured by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC with data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb−1fb−1 . The ...
Providing information for decision making: Contrasting description and simulation
(Elsevier, 2015-09)
Providing information for decision making should be like telling a story. You need to know, first, what you want to say; second, whom you are addressing; and third, how to match the message and audience. However, data ...
