This paper deals with the unsupervised domain adaptation problem, where one wants to estimate aprediction function f in a given target domain without any labeled sample by exploiting the knowledgeavailable from a source domain where labels are known. Our work makes the following assumption: thereexists a non-linear transformation between the joint feature/label space distributio...

In today’s global marketplace, an effective integration of production and distribution plans into a unified framework is crucial for attaining competitive advantages. This paper, therefore, addresses an integrated multi-product and multi-time period production-distribution planning problem for a two-echelon supply chain subject to the real-world constraints. It is assumed that all transportatio...

Goods movement and freight distribution are widely underrepresented in regional science and geographical research. This is surprising since a large body of traditional spatial theory has been developed with respect to transportation costs or to trade areas: those aspects that were originally closely connected with the exchange of goods. Growing attention is being paid in geography to related su...

For a developing country like India number of sectors are involved in economy. Transportation has played important part throughout the development of Indian economy. Transport has revolutionized our entire life, especially economy. Transportation services assist alike the production, consumption, exchange and distribution of wealth. There is a direct relation between transportation services and...

The solid transportation problem is an important extension of the traditional transportation problem. Solid transportation problem with uncertain variables as its parameters is called uncertain solid transportation problem. In this paper, the expected-constrained programming for an uncertain solid transportation problem is given based on uncertainty theory. According to inverse uncertainty dist...

Distribution centers (DCs) play important poles in supply chain managements. How to decide an effective and reasonable distribution center location is a first goal for supply chain design, which directly influences the efficiency of the network of facilities and activities that procure, produce, and distribute goods to customers. In the previous literatures, authors seldom consider unexpected e...

Nowadays, organizations have to compete with different competitors in regional, national and international levels, so they have to improve their competition capabilities to survive against competitors. Undertaking activities on a global scale requires a proper distribution system which could take advantages of different transportation modes. Accordingly, the present paper addresses a location-r...

Spermiogenesis is a dynamic process which includes organelle reorganization and new structure formation. The morphology and distribution of the mitochondria in germ cells change to accommodate the cellular requirement. Multiple molecular motors and related proteins participate in carrying and anchoring mitochondria to the midpiece during spermiogenesis and this process is regulated precisely. E...

Project Objectives The main purpose of this project is to analyze the impact of intermodal facilities in the design of supply chains for biofuel production facilities. This objective will be attained by pursuing two specific aims: (a) Build mathematical models that will be used to design the in-bound and out-bound supply chain of a biorefinery. This model will take as an input (i) location of e...
