Over the past two decades, there has been a heavy influx in the number of direct-to-consumer express shipments of packaged products. As a consequence, parcel delivery companies, such as DHL, FedEx and UPS, have strengthened their presence in air transport. This study measured and analysed the effect of moving single packages through air shipments in the USA using one of the newest service provi...

The Modular Distributed Manipulator System (MDMS) is a novel materials handling system which is a xed array of actuated wheels capable of inducing arbitrary motions in the plane. This work develops control laws for transporting and manipulating macroscopic-scale objects (parcels) that rest on the array. The dynamics of parcel transport and manipulation lead to the necessary understanding of suc...

INTRODUCTION Systematic social observation (SSO) methods traditionally measure neighborhoods at street level and have been performed reliably using virtual applications to increase feasibility. Research indicates that collection at even higher spatial resolution may better elucidate the health impact of neighborhood factors, but whether virtual applications can reliably capture social determina...

The ongoing growth of e-commerce deliveries has led to a significant increase in last-mile delivery volumes. New technologies are being investigated provide these efficiently and customer-friendly manner. A common practice is use fixed parcel lockers (FPLs) make independent from the presence customer as case attended home (AHDs). FPLs usually installed at key locations cities, customers can col...

Time-sensitive parcel deliveries, shipments requested for delivery in a day or less, are an increasingly important research subject. It is challenging to deal with these deliveries from carrier perspective since it entails additional planning constraints, preventing efficient consolidation of which possible when demand well known advance. Furthermore, such time-sensitive wider spatial scope tha...

The development of more effective stroke prevention strategies continues to be an important goal. The US public’s awareness of stroke risk and warning signs remains poor. One factor that i...

Conventional research on the roots of psychopa­ thology and on the efficacy of treatment in controlled trials are only the first steps toward the ultimate goal of health care systems: improving the health of the public at large. Health services research picks up the baton from basic and clinical research to examine how services are delivered, their costs, and above all, their effectiveness in “...
