McMaster University Advanced Optimization Laboratory Title : A Dynamic Large - Update
Primal-dual interior-point methods (IPMs) have shown their power in solving large classes of optimization problems. However, at present there is still a gap between the practical behavior of these algorithms and their theoretical worst-case complexity results, with respect to the strategies of updating the duality gap parameter in the algorithm. The so-called small-update IPMs enjoy the best kn...
متن کاملSimulation optimization-based decision support tool for steel manufacturing
To buffer against increasing global competition and variability in the price of raw materials, steel manufacturers continuously strive to improve operations and lower costs. In this research, we employ a simulation optimization approach to develop a decision support tool to aid in strategic and operational decision-making. Specifically, we investigate work-in-process inventory levels and potent...
متن کاملValue for money: the nursing health services research - McMaster unit.
The Nursing Health Services Research Unit (NHSRU), funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care, consists of Co-Principal Investigators Dr. Linda O’Brien-Pallas at the Toronto site (see profile in CJNL Volume 21 Number 1) and Dr. Andrea Baumann at the McMaster site.

متن کاملElectric Arc Furnace Slag and Blast Furnace Dust, Use for the Manufacture of Asphalt Concrete for Roads
This paper analyzes how feasible it is to use electric arc furnace slag as coarse aggregate, and blast furnace dust as fine aggregate in the manufacture of hot asphalt concrete for roads. Three mixtures were designed using the Ramcodes methodology, the M1 mixture of control with conventional materials, the M2 mixture replacing 50% and the M3 mixture replacing 100% of the conventional aggregates...
متن کاملThe McMaster curriculum: a critique.
were already clearly understood in 1910. It was the methods and administrative arrangements that developed in the decades after his report that seemed to confound the principles. It is a sobering thought for those of us who have been concerned with a new medical school. We have tried a fresh approach, an alternative to conventional methods, and in presenting the McMaster curriculum, I shall do ...
