on modeling door-to-door parcel delivery services in iran
Authors
abstract
parcel delivery is a complex logistic service, as it serves many small or medium-sized customers who may send or receive parcels. modeling such delivery system needs to integrate two different research areas of hub location and vehicle routing. as it totally depends on the network and the linkage of the nodes, in this paper, some door-to-door service providers are taken into account to provide suitable information for modeling parcel deliveries of sparse and wide countries. since the proposed mixed-integer programming model is np-hard, a new multi-steps solution method based on a simulated annealing algorithm and local search is presented. the results of the proposed model and the solution method are evaluated based on some small test problems. the performance of the solution method is illustrated by solving a real case with all capital cities of 31 provinces in iran.

full textThe “Door to Door” Movement of Goods
1. A back-to-back cargo movement is generally understood as the transfer of loose goods from one truck to another---in its literal form, positioning two trucks with their backs to one another. Primitive variants involve laborintensive handling and placement of cargo on the ground during the transfer. This process inflicts serious time delays and damage to cargo and is widely avoided in modern t...
full textDirect Selling: From Door to Door to E-Commerce
Direct selling is exhibiting substantial growth in sales revenues and number of salespeople involved. Also the acceptation of consumers is growing. During the last decade direct selling organizations (DSOs) are using the Internet more and more, either to communicate with the salespersons, either to promote the products and the business to the consumers. This research is aiming to contribute to ...

We review the main reasons pushing us beyond the SM and we argue in favor of new physics at the electroweak scale (hence experimentally accessible at present or near–future machines). We focus on the appealing possibility that such new physics is given by a super-symmetric (SUSY) extension of the SM. We discuss the minimal case, Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric SM, and more general (maybe mor...
full textModeling a Door Controller Protocol in LOOPN
Object-oriented development systems traditionally have the benefits of encouraging well-modularised code with clean interfaces, and being able to provide reusable modules. Frequently, the penalty for such environments is the size and possibly speed of generated code. This paper presents a case study of designing an electronic door controller system which is to run on a central PC and distribute...

Face recognition system have been widely developed. The machine vision system becomes an interest of many researchers in various fields of science. It provides the most important characteristic of natural interaction that is personalization. Automatic face recognition is a challenging problem, since human faces have a complex pattern. This paper presents a method for recognition of frontal huma...
