Discrete time/cost trade-off problem: a decomposition-based solutionalgorithm for the budget version
(Elsevier, 2010-04)
This paper investigates the budget variant of the discrete time/cost trade-off problem (DTCTP). This multi-mode project scheduling problem requires assigning modes to the activities of a project so that the total completion ...
Exact closed-form error probability expression for cooperative diversity networks with channel estimation errors in time selective Rayleigh fading channels
(IEEE, 2010)
In this paper, we investigate the performance of a cooperative network with adaptive decode-and-forward (DF) relaying over time-selective frequency-flat Rayleigh fading channels. In adaptive DF relaying, only a subset of ...
DMT analysis of coherent free-space optical systems over atmospheric turbulence channels
(IEEE, 2010)
In this paper, we investigate the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) performance of a coherent free-space optical (FSO) communication system with multiple receive apertures over atmospheric turbulence channels. Our study ...
Design, operation, and motion characteristics of a precise piezoelectric linear motor
(Elsevier, 2010-04)
This paper presents the design, operation, and motion characteristics of a precise piezoelectric motor for linear translation. The motor is compact, thermally stable, ultra-high vacuum compatible, and suitable for applications ...
Consumer effort in promotional incentives
(Decision Sciences Institute, 2010-11)
Consumers need to exert effort to use the incentives provided in a promotion campaign. This effort is critical in the consumers’ decision process and for the success of the campaign. We develop a model of consumer redemption ...
Algorithmic expedients for the prize collecting Steiner tree problem
(Elsevier, 2010)
This paper investigates the Prize Collecting Steiner Tree Problem (PCSTP) on a graph, which is a generalization of the well-known Steiner tree problem. Given a root node, edge costs, node prizes and penalties, as well as ...
A retrospective view on‘‘3-dimensional radiation in absorbing, emitting and scattering media using discrete-ordinates approximation’’by J.S.Truelove
(Elsevier, 2010-06)
Discrete-ordinates (DO) approximations to the radiative transfer equation in three- dimensional enclosures have extensively been used during the last three decades. The 1988 paper by Truelove [1] is one of the pioneering ...
Discrepancy search for the flexible job shop scheduling problem
(Elsevier, 2010-12)
The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical job shop problem in which each operation must be processed on a given machine chosen among a finite subset of candidate machines. The aim ...
Iterative near maximum-likelihood sequence detection for MIMO optical wireless systems
(IEEE, 2010-04)
A major performance-limiting factor in terrestrial optical wireless (OW) systems is turbulence-induced fading. Exploiting the additional degrees of freedom in the spatial dimension, multiple laser transmitters combined ...
The traveling salesman problem with pickups, deliveries, and handling costs
(Informs, 2010-08)
This paper introduces a new variant of the one-to-many-to-one single vehicle pickup and delivery problems (SVPDP) that incorporates the handling cost incurred when rearranging the load at the customer locations. The ...
