Cooperative vehicle routing problem: an opportunity for cost saving
In this paper, a novel methodology is proposed to solve a cooperative multi-depot vehicle routing problem. We establish a mathematical model for multi-owner VRP in which each owner (i.e. player) manages single or multiple depots. The basic idea consists of offering an option that owners cooperatively manage the VRP to save their costs. We present cooperative game theory techniques for cost savi...
متن کاملWireless P2P: Problem or Opportunity?
P2P is currently considered a problem by many wired and wireless providers, especially because of the large amount of traffic it generates. However, given new technology developments such as Wi-Fi Direct, we see an opportunity for P2P in mobile settings that, rather than treating mobiles as second-class citizens, seeks to take advantage of their capabilities over stationary devices. In this pap...
متن کاملSplendid but Hopeless
the city centre, Gradually however the crowd thinned slightly, the driver put his foot down and after a certain amount of stuttering and coughing, the ailing vehicle slowly built up speed. Thereafter the driver's technique for dealing with any obstacle was to blow his horn and accelerate towards it. Miraculously the obstacle would melt away at the very last moment, or if it didn't, we simply sw...
متن کاملUrinary vesicles: in splendid isolation.
Urine provides an attractive, non-invasive alternative to tissue, blood or other biofluid as a potential source of biomarkers of systemic and renal disease. The urinary protein content can be divided in two parts: soluble and solid-phase components; the solid-phase components can be subdivided into sediment precipitated with low-speed centrifugation and low-density nanometer-sized particles (ve...
متن کاملThe ATP synthase--a splendid molecular machine.
An X-ray structure of the F1 portion of the mitochondrial ATP synthase shows asymmetry and differences in nucleotide binding of the catalytic beta subunits that support the binding change mechanism with an internal rotation of the gamma subunit. Other structural and mutational probes of the F1 and F0 portions of the ATP synthase are reviewed, together with kinetic and other evaluations of catal...
