SUMMARY Posterior consistency and the parallel behaviour of consistency of maximum likelihood estimators is analyzed in nonparametric statistical problems. The framework is the hypo-Strong Law of Large Numbers, a form of " one-sided " Uniform Law of Large Numbers.

in this paper, based on the background of cost-oriented assembly line balancing problems, a novel mathematical model for scheduling and balancing the assembly line is offered that with the combination of task sequence-dependent setup time, parallel stations and resource constraint, minimizes the operational and investment costs of assembly system. due to the complexity of the problem, the equat...

With the aim of studying a multi-station feedforward uid network with Markov modulated input and output rates we rst study a two dimensional parallel network having the property that the second station cannot be empty unless the rst station is. A method for computing the steady state characteristics of such a process is given and it is shown that this can be used to determine the steady state c...

Two-stage decomposition-dynamic programming aggregation method has been first proposed and introduced to solve the mathematical model of daily optimal operation for parallel pumping stations with adjustable-blade units. Taking minimal daily electricity cost of single pump station as objective function, the water quantity pumped by each station as coordinated variable, by means of the type of th...

This paper studies optimal routing and jockeying policies in a two-station parallel queueing system. It is assumed that jobs arrive to the system in a Poisson stream with rate λ and are routed to one of two parallel stations. Each station has a single server and a buffer of infinite capacity. The service times are exponential with server-dependent rates, μ1 and μ2. Jockeying between stations is...

Objective: To evaluate the application of a parallel imaging technique — generalised autocalibrating partially parallel acquisition — in peripheral contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective review of 17 consecutive patients with peripheral vascular disease who underwent lower-extremity 3-dimensional contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angi...

We successfully contract timetable networks with realistic transfer times. Contraction gradually removes nodes from the graph and adds shortcuts to preserve shortest paths. This reduces query times to 1ms with preprocessing times around 6 minutes on all tested instances. We achieve this by an improved contraction algorithm and by using a station graph model. Every node in our graph has a one-to...

An assembly system (AS), a valuable tool for mass production, is generally composed of a number of workstations and a transport system. While the workstations perform some preplanned operations, the transport system moves the assemblies by special designed pallets from one station to another. One common problem associated with automatic assembly systems is that some assembly operations may have...
