Analysis of the in vitro nanoparticle–cell interactions via a smoothing-splines mixed-effects model
(Taylor and Francis, 2016)A mixed-effects statistical model has been developed to understand the nanoparticle (NP)–cell interactions and predict the rate of cellular uptake of NPs. NP–cell interactions are crucial for targeted drug delivery systems, ... -
Distributed interactive video system design and analysis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 1997)The interactive video (IV) market has been expected to capture a significant share of the huge potential revenues to be generated by the business and residential markets. The level of revenues generated depends on the ... -
Effect of number of burst assemblers on TCP performance in optical burst switching networks
(IEEE, 2006-10)Burst assembly mechanism is one of the fundamental factors that determine the performance of an optical burst switching (OBS) network. In this paper, we investigate the influence of number of burstifiers on TCP performance ... -
Effectiveness of information systems outsourcing: An exploratory case study
(IADIS, 2012)The objective of this research is to construct an assessment model for measuring the effectiveness of Information Systems (IS) outsourcing. "Lack of expertise" and "cost effectiveness" constitute the major points of ... -
Exact and heuristic approaches based on noninterfering transmissions for joint gateway selection, time slot allocation, routing and power control for wireless mesh networks
(Elsevier, 2017)Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) provide cost-effective alternatives for extending wireless communication over larger geographical areas. In this paper, given a WMN with its nodes and possible wireless links, we consider the ... -
The general behavior of pull production systems: the allocation problems
(Elsevier, 1999)The design of tandem production systems has been well studied in the literature with the primary focus being on how to improve their e ciency. Considering the large costs associated, a slight improvement in e ciency can ... -
Glucose sensors based on electrospun nanofibers: a review
(Springer Verlag, 2016)The worldwide increase in the number of people suffering from diabetes has been the driving force for the development of glucose sensors. The recent past has devised various approaches to formulate glucose sensors using ... -
Hyperbolic efficiency and return to the dollar
(Elsevier BV, 2002)This paper, after establishing the relations between hyperbolic graph measure of technical efficiency and the radial measures of technical efficiency, shows that the dual, cost and revenue interpretation of the hyperbolic ... -
Integrated scheduling and tool management in flexible manufacturing systems
(Taylor & Francis, 2001)A multistage algorithm is proposed that will solve the scheduling problem in a flexible manufacturing system by considering the interrelated subproblems of processing time control, tool allocation and machining conditions ... -
Interaction of design and operational parameters in periodic review kanban systems
(Taylor & Francis, 2003)In this study, we propose an analytical model to determine the withdrawal cycle length, kanban sizes and number of kanbans simultaneously in a multi-item, multi-stage, multi-period, capacitated periodic review kanban system. ... -
Ionospheric total electron content estimation using IONOLAB method
(IEEE, 2007)Ionosphere which is an important atmospheric layer for HF and satellite communications, can be investigated through Total Electron Content (TEC). Global Positioning System provides cost-effective means for TEC estimation. ... -
Managerial motivation dynamics and incentives
(2007)Firms can increase profitability by appropriately motivating managers. We investigate drivers of managerial motivation, and propose how firms can use performance pay to alter motivational patterns. We focus on the agent's ... -
Rapid and alternative fabrication method for microfluidic paper based analytical devices
(Elsevier B.V., 2016)A major application of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) includes the field of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. It is important for POC diagnostics to possess properties such as ease-of-use and low cost. ... -
A smartphone based surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) platform for on-site biodetection
(Elsevier, 2017)We demonstrate a surface plasmon resonance imaging platform integrated with a smartphone to be used in the field with high-throughput biodetection. Inexpensive and disposable SPR substrates are produced by metal coating ... -
Solving the hazmat transport network design problem
(Pergamon Press, 2008)In this paper, we consider the problem of network design for hazardous material transportation where the government designates a network, and the carriers choose the routes on the network. We model the problem as a bilevel ... -
Tactical capacity management under capacity flexibility
(Institute of Industrial Engineers, 2008)In many production systems a certain level of flexibility in the production capacity is either inherent or can be acquired. In that case, system costs may be decreased by managing the capacity and inventory in a joint ... -
Task assignment in heterogeneous computing systems
(Academic Press, 2006-01)The problem of task assignment in heterogeneous computing systems has been studied for many years with many variations. We consider the version in which communicating tasks are to be assigned to heterogeneous processors ... -
Univariate X̄ control charts for individual characteristics in a multinormal model
(Taylor & Francis, 2000)The early work on multivariate statistical process control was built upon Hotelling's T2 control chart which was developed to simultaneously monitor the means of correlated quality variables. This chart, however, has a ... -
Universal infrared absorption spectroscopy using uniform electromagnetic enhancement
(American Chemical Society, 2016)Infrared absorption spectroscopy has greatly benefited from the electromagnetic field enhancement offered by plasmonic surfaces. However, because of the localized nature of plasmonic fields, such field enhancements are ...
