in this study, a bi-objective model for integrated planning of production-distribution in a multi-level supply chain network with multiple product types and multi time periods is presented. the supply chain network including manufacturers, distribution centers, retailers and final customers is proposed. the proposed model minimizes the total supply chain costs and transforming time of products ...

Business intelligence (BI) combined with business analytics (BA) is an increasingly prominent strategic objective for many organizations. As a pedagogical subject, BI/BA is still in its infancy, and, in order for this to mature, we need to develop an undergraduate model BI/BA curriculum. BI/BA as an academic domain is emerging as a hybrid of disciplines, including information systems, statistic...

The radio stripe (RS) system is a practical implementation of cell-free mMIMO, in which set multi-antenna access points (APs) serves at the same time-frequency resources user equipment (UE) network. APs are sequentially connected stripe, sharing fronthaul link to central processing unit. This work considers an uplink power optimization problem that aims enhance network spectral efficiency (SE) ...

In this paper, we investigate the bi-objective multiperiod one-dimensional cutting stock problem that seeks to minimize cost of production associated with total length cut objects (waste) and inventory costs related items. A mathematical model is presented heuristically solved by a column generation method. Computational tests were performed using Weighted Sum method, ε-Constraint method variat...

Background School-based health centers (SBHCs) offering a wide scope of health services are an expanding model of healthcare in the US. SBHCs are potential venues for brief intervention (BI), but little is known about the best way to deliver BI in these settings. The objective is to describe pilot data collected in preparation for a randomized trial of nursevs. computer-delivered BI for high sc...
