The purpose of this paper is to review recent developments to use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) for supply chain logistics in the construction industry and identify potential applications of this technology for disaster recovery in construction operations. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and extreme weather conditions can cause significant damage to local communities and disruptio...

‎let $f$ be a proper $k$-coloring of a connected graph $g$ and‎ ‎$pi=(v_1,v_2,ldots,v_k)$ be an ordered partition of $v(g)$ into‎ ‎the resulting color classes‎. ‎for a vertex $v$ of $g$‎, ‎the color‎ ‎code of $v$ with respect to $pi$ is defined to be the ordered‎ ‎$k$-tuple $c_{{}_pi}(v)=(d(v,v_1),d(v,v_2),ldots,d(v,v_k))$‎, ‎where $d(v,v_i)=min{d(v,x):~xin v_i}‎, ‎1leq ileq k$‎. ‎if‎ ‎distinct...

using piezoelectric patches the stress concentration around a hole on a plate under tension is reduced and controlled. to attain the reduction in stress two placements for piezoelectric patches is investigated. the first location is top/bottom of the hole with compression induced strain and the second is left/right of the hole with tension induced strains to control the stress flow. the result ...

This paper deals with an i * Corresponding author Email address:   nventory system with one central warehouse and a number of identical retailers. We consider perishable-on-the-shelf items; that is, all items have a fixed shelf life and start to age on their arrival at the retailers. Each retailer faces Poisson demand and employs (1, T) inventory policy. Although demand not met at a retai...

Consider a matrix valued function A(x) ∈ R, m ≥ n, smoothly depending on parameters x ∈ Ω ⊂ R, where Ω is simply connected and bounded. We consider a technique to locate parameter values where some of the q dominant (q ≤ n) singular values of A coalesce, in the specific case when A is large and m > n ≫ q. Notation. An m × n real matrix is indicated with A ∈ Rm×n. We always consider the 2-norm f...
