Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an increasingly popular method for generating and managing facility information during the life cycle of a building, ranging from facility conceptualization, through design, construction and its operational life. Organizations involved in Facility Management (FM) have the opportunity to use BIM as a knowledge repository to document evolving facility inform...

Tansey, W. A., J. M. Wilson, and K. E. Schaefer. 1979. Analysis of health data from 10 years of Polaris submarine patrols. Undersea Biomed. Res. Sub. SuppL: S217-S246.—Medical reports from 885 Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarine patrols (7,650,000 man-days) were analyzed. The data were categorized and compared with data obtained by medical personnel from surface fleet personnel (1,215,918 m...

Given a terrain defined as a piecewise-linear function with n triangles, and m point sites on it, we would like to identify the location on the terrain that minimizes the maximum distance to the sites. The distance is measured as the length of the Euclidean shortest path along the terrain. To simplify the problem somewhat, we extend the terrain to (the surface of) a polyhedron. To compute the o...

UMA (University of Malaga) is developing a testing facility to provide support for the complete development process of Internet services in mobile networks. The platform enables the execution of data services on instrumented mobiles and will offer a remote access to carry out unattended measurement campaigns in commercial and emulated cellular networks. The facility mainly targets data connecti...

Near-field ranges operate by measuring the electromagnetic field near the antenna and then mathematically transforming the data to any arbitrary location. Near-field operations are a form of microwave holography. The wave front measurements are normally made on a planar, spherical or cylindrical surface. This paper discusses primarily the planar configurations as used in the measurement of larg...

The problems of facility location and the allocation of demand points to facilities are crucial research issues in spatial data analysis and urban planning. It is very important for an organization or governments to best locate its resources and facilities and efficiently manage resources to ensure that all demand points are covered and all the needs are met. Most of the recent studies, which f...

a comprehensive and integrated study of any supply chain (sc) environment is a vital requirement that can create various advantages for the sc owners. this consideration causes productive managing of the sc through its whole wide components from upstream suppliers to downstream retailers and customers.  on this issue, despite many valuable studies reported in the current literature, considerabl...
