the bi-objective warehouse problem in a crisp environment is often not eective in dealing with the imprecision or vagueness in the values of the problem parameters. to deal with such situations, several researchers have proposed that the parameters be represented as fuzzy numbers. we describe a new algorithm for fuzzy bi-objective warehouse problem using a ranking function followed by an applic...

Canine influenza virus (CIV) emerged around 2000 when an equine influenza virus (EIV) was transmitted to dogs in Florida. After 2003, the canine virus was carried by infected greyhounds to various parts of the United States and then became established in several large animal shelters, where it has continued to circulate. To better understand the evolution of CIV since its emergence, and particu...

This study examined incarceration histories and shelter use patterns of 7,022 persons staying in public shelters in New York City. Through matching administrative shelter records with data on releases from New York State prisons and New York City jails, 23.1% of a point-prevalent shelter population was identified as having had an incarceration within the previous two-year period. Persons enteri...

This paper examines the relationship between how hospital ownership is organized and the intensity of competition in the health care market. I study the question using an empirical entry model. These models typically exhibit multiple equilibria. To resolve this problem, a novel algorithm that computes all the equilibria of the game is developed. This paper uses the algorithm togetherwith two di...

A data warehouse allows the integration of heterogeneous data sources for identified analysis purposes. The data warehouse schema is designed according to the available data sources and the users' analysis requirements. In order to provide an answer to new individual analysis needs, we previously proposed, in recent work, a solution for on-line analysis personalization. We based our solution on...

in this paper, a multi-product continues review inventory control problem within batch arrival queuing approach (mqr/m/1) is modeled to find the optimal quantities of maximum inventory. the objective function is to minimize summation of ordering, holding and shortage costs under warehouse space, service level, and expected lost-sales shortage cost constraints from retailer and warehouse viewpoi...
