Cost of fairness in agent scheduling for contact centers
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2022-03)
We study a workforce scheduling problem faced in contact centers with considerations on a fair distribution of shifts in compliance with agentpreferences. We develop a mathematical model that aims to minimize operatingcosts ...
Robust parameter design and optimization for quality engineering
(Springer, 2022-03)
This paper proposes a methodology to determine the optimal settings of key decision variables that affect the resilience of an engineering design against uncertainty. Uncertainty in quality engineering is often caused by ...
High shear rate propulsion of acoustic microrobots in complex biological fluids
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2022-03-11)
Untethered microrobots offer a great promise for localized targeted therapy in hard-to-access spaces in our body. Despite recent advancements, most microrobot propulsion capabilities have been limited to homogenous Newtonian ...
Revealing the performance of bio-MOFs for adsorption-based uremic toxin separation using molecular simulations
(Elsevier, 2022-03-01)
Recently, adsorption-based separation methods have been used to remove uremic toxins from the blood of chronic kidney patients. Among the porous adsorbents, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are recognized as potential ...
Use of natural minerals to immobilize bacterial cells for remediating cracks in cement-based materials
(ASCE, 2022-03-01)
Cracks in cement-based materials are one of the main factors affecting the durability of structure. Recent research in the field of concrete materials showed that self-healing in cement-based systems can be achieved by ...
Attack to quantum cryptosystems through RF fingerprints from photon detectors
(IEEE, 2022-03)
The well-known RF penetration method is implemented on the quantum cryptosystems. In this study, RF radiations from the single photon detectors in a quantum key distribution system are intercepted. It was found that the ...
Model-based optimization of CMP process parameters for uniform material removal selectivity in cu/barrier planarization
(IOP Publishing, 2022-02-01)
Chemical mechanical planarization is a process of achieving planar surfaces in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. The planarization of a surface is achieved by material removal from the wafer surface. The material ...
Uncertainty assessment for detection of spoofing attacks to speaker verification systems using a Bayesian approach
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
There has been tremendous progress in automatic speaker verification systems over the last decade. Still, spoofing attacks pose a significant challenge to their deployment. Even though there are various attack techniques ...
Non-orthogonal multiple access-based underwater VLC systems in the presence of turbulence
(IEEE, 2022-02)
The promising potential of underwater applications in visible light communication (VLC) systems has recently gained considerable research attention, as an efficient technology for enabling high data rate, massive connectivity, ...
A fluid approximation for the single-leg fare allocation problem with nonhomogeneous poisson demand
(Springer, 2022-02-27)
Fare allocation for legs and O&D pairs plays a crucial role in airline revenue management. Despite a large number of dynamic pricing studies, there are only a few widely adopted studies in which assumptions affect most ...
