A novel pulse-positioned coding scheme for fiber fault monitoring of a PON
(IEEE, 2011-09)
In this letter, we propose a novel optical coding scheme for fiber link quality monitoring of a passive optical network (PON). The proposed scheme named incrementally pulse positioned coding (IPPC) is practically very ...
Coverage properties of clustered wireless sensor networks
(ACM, 2010-08)
This article studies clustered wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a realistic topology resulting from common deploymentmethods.We study coverage in naturally clustered networks of wireless sensor nodes, as opposed to WSNs ...
Search for low-mass quark-antiquark resonances produced in association with a photon at √ s = 13 TeV
(American Physical Society, 2019-12-03)
A search for narrow low-mass resonances decaying to quark-antiquark pairs is presented. The search is based on proton-proton collision events collected at 13 TeV by the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The data sample corresponds ...
Metaheuristics for the traveling salesman problem with pickups, deliveries and handling costs
(Elsevier, 2012-05)
This paper studies the Traveling Salesman Problem with Pickups, Deliveries, and Handling Costs. The subproblem of minimizing the handling cost for a fixed route is analyzed in detail. It is solved by means of an exact ...
Two classes of quadratic assignment problems that are solvable as linear assignment problems
(Elsevier, 2011-08)
The Quadratic Assignment Problem is one of the hardest combinatorial optimization problems known. We present two new classes of instances of the Quadratic Assignment Problem that can be reduced to the Linear Assignment ...
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 ...
A benders decomposition approach for an integrated airline schedule design and fleet assignment problem with flight retiming, schedule balance, and demand recapture
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2013-11)
The airline’s ability to offer flight schedules that provide service to passengers at desired times in competitive markets, while matching demand with an aircraft fleet of suitable size and composition, can significantly ...
Development of lower bounds for the scheduling of setup tasks in serial production lines
(Inderscience Publishers, 2013)
Efficient production resettings are necessary to achieve production flexibility. For this reason, it is of primary importance to reduce the setup time required to switch the production from one product type to another, and ...
CPU design simplified
(IEEE, 2018-12-10)
The first goal of this paper is to introduce a simple and customizable soft CPU named VerySimpleCPU (VSCPU), which could be easily implemented on FPGAs with a complete toolchain including instruction set simulator, assembler, ...
Mitigating the impact of drug shortages for a healthcare facility: An inventory management approach
(Elsevier, 2016-05-16)
Despite the importance and value of the pharmaceutical market, a significant portion of procurement spending including pharmaceuticals are lost. Coupling poor and reactive management practices with the inevitable national ...
