In this article we present our relocatable distributed collections library. Building on top of the AGPAS for Java library, provide a number useful intra-node parallel patterns as well features necessary to support nature computation through clearly identified methods. particular, transfer collections' entries between processes is supported via an integrated relocation system. This enables dynam...

Data from the New York City Moving to Opportunity 3-year follow-up were used to examine neighborhood and gender effects on adolescents’ family processes. Low-income, minority families in public housing in highpoverty neighborhoods were assigned randomly to (a) move to private housing in low-poverty neighborhoods only, (b) move to private housing in neighborhoods of their choice, or (c) stay in ...

This paper is interested in a food industrial group which produces large quantities of sugar and distributes it to warehouses and customers. The group should review its distribution policy, in particular, to optimize transportation costs and reduce losses caused by the current organization. In this paper, we propose an integer linear model to optimize the travel of full loaded trucks taking int...

This article defines the concept of relocating the program part of a finite partial state of SCM (data part stays intact). The relocated program differs from the original program in that all jump instructions are adjusted by the relocation factor and other instructions remain unchanged. The main theorem states that if a program computes a function then the relocated program computes the same fu...

Transport-related Fringe Benefits: Implications for Commuting and Relocation Fringe benefits of various kinds have become an essential element of modern labour market mechanisms. Firms offer transport-related fringe benefits such as transport subsidies (company cars, travel and parking subsidies) and relocation subsidies to job applicants. The spatial implications of these fringe benefits have ...

We give an introduction to the library Heq, which provides a set of tactics to manipulate heterogeneous equality and explicit coercion, such as rewriting of heterogeneous equality and elimination and relocation of explicit coercions.

The US construction industry has difficulty in attracting and recruiting personnel. Many who enter the industry are lacking management and leadership skills critical to success. Missouri University of Science and Technology conducted a study to determine what factors influence the decision of a college student to enter the construction industry. Experienced professionals were surveyed to determ...

Rapid growth rates seem to indicate that recently introduced free-floating car sharing (FFCS) can mean a breakthrough for the car sharing idea. Like other vehicle sharing systems, FFCS systems face significant regional demand fluctuations. Thus, providers might have to reposition empty vehicles to not lose potential customers. However, this aspect has been hardly examined in research and practi...
