Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the road freight haulage activity. Using the physical and data flow information from a freight forwarder, we intend to model the flow of inbound and outbound goods in a freight transport hub. Approach: This paper presents the operation of a road haulage group. To deliver goods within two days to any location in France, a haulage contractor ne...

This article develops and tests a communication infrastructure model of belonging among dwellers of urban residential environments. The concept of a communication infrastructure—a storytelling system set in its communication action context—is discussed. Storytelling neighborhood, the communication process through which neighborhood discussion transforms people from occupants of a house to membe...

Continuing demands for high degrees of Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) require large dispatch queues (or centralized reservation stations) in modern superscalar microprocessors. However, such large dispatch queues are inevitably accompanied by high circuit complexity which would correspondingly limit the pipeline clock rates. In other words, increasing the size of the dispatch queue ultimat...

A collection of algorithms and data structures are presented which provide incremental dispatch table modification. Incrementally modified dispatch tables allow table-based dispatch techniques to be used in reflective, dynamically typed, single-receiver languages with type/implementation-paired multiple inheritance. By storing a small amount of information, the algorithms can incrementally main...

Incrementally modiied dispatch tables allow table-based dispatch techniques to be used in reeexive, dynamically typed, single-receiver languages with type/implementation-paired multiple inheritance. By storing a small amount of information, the algorithms can incrementally maintain...

In a distributed environment, where a large number of computers are connected together to enable the largescale sharing of data and computing resources, agents, especially mobile agents, are the tools for autonomously completing tasks on behalf of their owners. For applications of large-scale mobile agents, security and efficiency are of great concern. In this paper, we present a fast binary di...

one of the significant strategies of the power systems is economic dispatch (ed) problem, which is defined as the optimal generation of power units to produce energy at the lowest cost by fulfilling the demand within several limits. the undeniable impacts of ramp rate limits, valve loading, prohibited operating zone, spinning reserve and multi-fuel option on the economic dispatch of practical p...

Objectives: Emergencymedical services (EMS) programs, which provide an alternative to traditional EMS dispatch or transport to the emergency department (ED), are becoming widely implemented. This scoping review identified and catalogued all outcomes used to measure such alternative EMS programs. Data Source: Broad systematized bibliographic and grey literature searches were conducted. Study Sel...
