7he T economics i off introducing ultrafiltration (UF) ) into the Ontario i dairy industry is analyzed. . First, t, a partial budget is developed to determine feasibility off UF on the farm. . The budget indicates that the great majority off Ontario dairy farms are not large enough to capture the economies off size inherent in the new technology. l y. Second, , a location-allocation ll ti model...

in this paper, a facility location problem of distribution systems, as one of the important and strategic issues in supply chain management, has been studied in a three-level supply chain under a stochastic condition. for this purpose, a two-stage mathematic model has been proposed for the location-allocation problem of distribution systems with regard to backup facilities for disrupting wareho...

We propose CLEAR (Context and Location-based Efficient Allocation of Replicas), a dynamic replica allocation scheme for improving data availability in mobile ad-hoc peer-to-peer (M-P2P) networks. CLEAR exploits user mobility patterns and deploys a super-peer architecture to manage replica allocation efficiently. CLEAR avoids broadcast storm during replica allocation and eliminates the need for ...

production is termed as a complex process comprising of time and place factors interations. eficient managers may maximize their commercial profits through the recent mrjrture of the said factors. so plant location is an important ecrzptomk criterion and is applied as a guideline for the profit maximization. one of the salient point in market locatioa k the maximization of emency in national or...

Increasing the short circuit current due to the penetration of distributed generations (DGs) in various voltage levels and meshed topology is a basic problem in power systems. Using fault current limiter (FCL) is an efficient approach to mitigate the exceeded short circuit levels. In this paper, a new approach is presented for multiple FCLs locating to decrease short circuit levels in meshed ne...

One of the most important issues in area of health and hygiene is location-allocation of organ harvesting centers and transplant centers according to coordination between supply and demand. In this paper, a mathematical model is presented for location-allocation of organ harvesting centers and transplant centers. The proposed model does not only minimize the present value of the total system co...

SUMMARY Purpose: study optimization location-allocation of emergency shelter for Earthquake after destructive earthquake disaster, so as to prevent or reduce the damage caused by the earthquake and its secondary disasters, to guide the resettlement and reconstruction of post-disaster. Methods: basis on GIS, by applying the location-allocation optimization of P-center model of geographical space...

It is well known that optimal server placement is NPhard. We present an approximate model of content distribution network for the case when both clients and servers are dense, and propose a simple server allocation and placement algorithm based on highrate quantization theory. The key idea is to regard the location of a request as a random variable with probability density that is proportional ...

This research studies the role of multivariate distribution structures on random asset returns in determining the optimal allocation vector for an expected utility maximizer. All our conclusions pertain for the set of risk averters. By carefully disturbing symmetry in the distribution of the, possibly covarying, returns, we ascertain the ordinal structure of the optimized allocation vector. Ran...
