Metal CMP optimization based on chemically formed thin film analysis
(The Electrochemical Society, 2009)
The conventional demands for development in semiconductor industry are changing as the Moore's Law is approaching to its limits. This paper demonstrates a theoretical optimization approach for the planarization of metal ...
Energetic reasoning revisited: application to parallel machine scheduling
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2008-08)
We consider the problem of minimizing makespan on identical parallel machines subject to release dates and delivery times. We present several new feasibility tests and adjustment techniques that consistently improve ...
Private-label use and store loyalty
(American Marketing Association, 2008-11)
The authors develop an econometric model of the relationship between a household’s private-label (PL) share and its behavioral store loyalty. The model includes major drivers of these two behaviors and controls for ...
Pricing of national brands versus store brands: market power components, findings and research opportunities
(Edward Elgar Publishing, 2009)
Among the most important activities for supermarket retailers is the creation and marketing of store brands, also known as private label brands. Given the increasing quality-equivalence between national brands and store ...
Approximating vehicle dispatch probabilities for emergency service systems with location-specific service times and multiple units per location
(Informs, 2009-02)
To calculate many of the important performance measures for an emergency response system, one requires knowledge of the probability that a particular server will respond to an incoming call at a particular location. ...
A Lagrangian relaxation approach to large-scale flow interception problems
(Elsevier, 2009-10-16)
The paper presents a tight Lagrangian bound and an efficient dual heuristic for the flow interception problem. The proposed Lagrangian relaxation decomposes the problem into two subproblems that are easy to solve. Information ...
Winners and losers in a major price war
(American Marketing Association, 2008-10)
Although retail price wars have received much business press and some research attention, it is unclear how they affect consumer purchase behavior. This article studies an unprecedented price war in Dutch grocery retailing ...
Improving the performance of wireless H.264 video broadcasting through a cross-layer design
(IEEE, 2009)
In a wireless video broadcasting service, number of users receiving the service and the average video quality of the received stream have to be maximized for improving the system performance. To solve this problem optimally, ...
Optimal ambulance location with random delays and travel times
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2008-09)
We describe an ambulance location optimization model that minimizes the number of ambulances needed tonprovide a specified service level. The model measures service level as the fraction of calls reached within a given ...
Computational comparison of five maximal covering models for locating ambulances
(Wiley, 2009-01)
This article categorizes existing maximum coverage optimization models for locatingambulances based on whether the models incorporate uncertainty about (1) ambulanceavailability and (2) response times. Data from Edmonton, ...
