The transport requirements in modern society are becoming more and more important. Thus, offered transport services need to be more and more advanced and better designed to meet users demands. Important cost factors of many goods are transport costs. Therefore, a reduction of costs, a better adjustment of strategies to the demand as well as a better planning and scheduling of available resource...

Three-dimensional fine point cloud has gradually become a key data source of three-dimensional model. The large scale point cloud interactive quick pick up is a kind of important operation in the point cloud data processing and applications. Since the point cloud model is composed of massive points, the speed of ordinary picking method is limited. A GPU-based point cloud picking algorithm was t...

Previously, we showed that pyridines and pyrazines in cigarette smoke inhibit oviductal functioning in vitro in nanomolar and picomolar doses. The purpose of this study was to determine the lowest observable adverse effect levels (LOAELs) of phenols, quinolines, indoles, benzene, and 2-cyclopenten-1-ones found in mainstream smoke solutions on ciliary beat frequency, oocyte pickup rate, and infu...

The new emerging area of Enterprise Wide Optimization (EWO) has focused the attention in effectively solving the combined producion/distribution scheduling problem. The importance of logistic activities performed in multi-site environments comes from the relative magnitude f the associated transportation costs and the good chance of getting large savings on such expenses. This paper first devel...

In the double TSP with multiple stacks, one performs a Hamiltonian circuit to pick up n items, storing them in a vehicle with s stacks of finite capacity q satisfying lastin-first-out constraints, and then delivers every item by performing a Hamiltonian circuit. We introduce an integer linear programming formulation with arc and precedence variables. We show that the underlying polytope shares ...

In this work, one-neutron transfer (pickup and stripping), complete incomplete fusion cross sections for the $^{9}\mathrm{Be}+^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ system were measured over a wide range of energies around Coulomb barrier by offline $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray detection method. Coupled-channel calculations used to determine elastic, inelastic, sections. Coupled reaction channel performed derive stri...

in this paper we address the vrpcd, in which a set of homogeneous vehicles are used to transport products from the suppliers to customers via a cross-dock. the products can be consolidated at the cross-dock but cannot be stored for very long as the cross-dock does not have long-term inventory-holding capabilities. the objective of the vrpcd is to minimize the total traveled distance while respe...

The location routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (LRPSPD) is a new variant of the location routing problem (LRP). The objective of LRPSPD is to minimize the total cost of a distribution system including vehicle traveling cost, depot opening cost, and vehicle fixed cost by locating the depots and determining the vehicle routes to simultaneously satisfy the pickup and the delive...

A municipal solid waste (MSW) and recycled material curbside pickup bus system was recently initiated in a Taiwan city to improve collection service. For such an MSW pickup system, selecting appropriate collection stops critically affects hauling costs and service efficiency. Conventionally, MSW collection points are heuristically and manually chosen, resulting in a hauling system that is not a...
