This paper deals with multiwavelets and the different properties of approximation and smoothness associated with them. In particular, we focus on the important issue of the preservation of discrete-time polynomial signals by multifilterbanks. We introduce and detail the property of balancing for higher degree discrete-time polynomial signals and link it to a very natural factorization of the re...

BACKGROUND The advanced access (AA) model is a highly recommended innovation to improve timely access to primary healthcare. Despite that many studies have shown positive impacts for healthcare professionals, and for patients, implementing this model in clinics with a teaching mission for family medicine residents poses specific challenges. OBJECTIVE To identify these challenges within these ...

Determination of shipment quantity and distribution problem is an important subject in today’s business. This paper describes the inventory/distribution network design. The system addresses a class of distribution network design problem, which is characterized by multiple products family, multiple warehouses and retail-ers. The maximum capacity of vehicles and warehouses are also known. The res...

The assignment problem serves as the basis for a novel formulation and initial approach to assigning participants in holiday " Pollyanna " gift exchanges. This research presents the formalization of a typical heuristic assignment with constraints as commonly imposed by family and work dynamics. The constraints include restrictions on exchanging within the same nuclear family, restrictions on re...

Proper planning of assembly lines is one of the production managers’ concerns at the tactical level so that it would be possible to use the machine capacity, reduce operating costs and deliver customer orders on time. The lack of an efficient method in balancing assembly line can create threatening problems for manufacturing organizations. The use of assembly line balancing methods cannot balan...

Assembly lines are special kinds of production systems which are of great importance in the industrial production of high quantity commodities. In many practical manufacturing systems, configuration of assembly lines is fixed and designing a new line may be incurred huge amount of costs and thereby it is not desirable for practitioners. When some changes related to market demand occur, it is wo...

signaling in pluripotent stem cells is a complex and dynamic process involving multiple mediators, finely tuned to balancing pluripotency and differentiation states. characterizing and modifying the necessary signaling pathways to attain desired cell types is required for stem-cell applications in various fields of regenerative medicine. these signals may help enhance the differentiation potent...
