Activity recognition invariant to sensor orientation with wearable motion sensors
(MDPI AG, 2017)Most activity recognition studies that employ wearable sensors assume that the sensors are attached at pre-determined positions and orientations that do not change over time. Since this is not the case in practice, it is ... -
Age-based vs. stock level control policies for a perishable inventory system
(2001)In this study, we investigate the impact of modified lotsize-reorder control policy for perishables which bases replenishment decisions on both the inventory level and the remaining lifetimes of items in stock. We derive ... -
An algorithm based on facial decomposition for finding the efficient set in multiple objective linear programming
(Elsevier, 1996)We propose a method for finding the efficient set of a multiple objective linear program based on the well-known facial decomposition of the efficient set. The method incorporates a simple linear programming test that ... -
Analysis of a decentralized supply chain under partial cooperation
(2005)In this article, we analyze a decentralized supply chain consisting of a supplier and two independent retailers. In each order cycle, retailers place their orders at the supplier to minimize inventory-related expected costs ... -
Analyzing impact of experience curve on ROI in the software product line adoption process
(Elsevier BV, 2015)Context Experience curve is a well-known concept in management and education science, which explains the phenomenon of increased worker efficiency with repetitive production of a good or service. Objective We aim to analyze ... -
Approaches for inequity-averse sorting
(Elsevier, 2016)In this paper we consider multi-criteria sorting problems where the decision maker (DM) has equity concerns. In such problems each alternative represents an allocation of an outcome (e.g. income, service level, health ... -
Aviation risk perception: a comparison between experts and novices
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2004)This article describes an exploratory investigation of the risk perceptions of experts and novices in relation to helicopter operations, under conditions where the participants are matched on various characteristics ... -
Classifying human leg motions with uniaxial piezoelectric gyroscopes
(2009)This paper provides a comparative study on the different techniques of classifying human leg motions that are performed using two low-cost uniaxial piezoelectric gyroscopes worn on the leg. A number of feature sets, extracted ... -
Compromising system and user interests in shelter location and evacuation planning
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)Traffic management during an evacuation and the decision of where to locate the shelters are of critical importance to the performance of an evacuation plan. From the evacuation management authority's point of view, the ... -
Computer vision based method for real-time fire and flame detection
(Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01)This paper proposes a novel method to detect fire and/or flames in real-time by processing the video data generated by an ordinary camera monitoring a scene. In addition to ordinary motion and color clues, flame and fire ... -
Diffusion of geograpgic information system at municipalities in Istanbul
(TMMOB Maden Muhendisleri Odasi, 2015)This study aims to develop a better understanding of diffusion of Geographic Information Systems within municipalities and examines the infrastructure of Istanbul municipalities and whether they are ready for this technology ... -
Dynamic lot sizing and tool management in automated manufacturing systems
(Elsevier, 2002)The overall aim of this study is to show that there is a critical interface between the lot sizing and tool management decisions, and these two problems cannot be viewed in isolation. We propose "ve alternative algorithms ... -
Evaluating predictive performance of judgemental extrapolations from simulated currency series
(Elsevier, 1999)Judgemental forecasting of exchange rates is critical for financial decision-making. Detailed investigations of the potential effects of time-series characteristics on judgemental currency forecasts demand the use of ... -
Examining leaders' orientations to structural constraints: Turkey's 1991 and 2003 Iraq war decisions
(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd., 2017)Explanations of states' security decisions prioritise structural - systemic, institutional and cultural - constraints that characterise foreign security decisions as a function of external/international, domestic/institutional, ... -
Examining proactive strategic decision-making flexibility in new product development
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2012)While strategic flexibility is widely accepted as a prerequisite for a firm's success, its application in strategic decision making to a firm's new product development (NPD) activities is limited to only a few studies. ... -
Functional contour-following via haptic perception and reinforcement learning
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018)Many tasks involve the fine manipulation of objects despite limited visual feedback. In such scenarios, tactile and proprioceptive feedback can be leveraged for task completion. We present an approach for real-time haptic ... -
A game theoretical modeling and simulation framework for the integration of unmanned aircraft systems in to the national airspace
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA, 2016)The focus of this paper is to present a game theoretical modeling and simulation frame- work for the integration of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into the National Airspace system (NAS). The problem of predicting the ... -
Generating robust and stable schedules in a single machine environment
(2004)Scheduling is a decision making process that concerns with allocation of limited resources (machines, material handling equipment, operators, tools, etc.) to competing tasks (operations of jobs) over time with the goal of ... -
A goal programming approach to mixed-model assembly line balancing problem
(Elsevier, 1997)In this paper, a binary goal programming model for the mixed-model assembly line balancing (ALB) problem is developed. The model is based on the concepts developed by Patterson and Albracht [1] and the model of Deckro and ... -
How elephants learn the new dance when headquarters changes the music: three case studies on innovation strategy change
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2008)Does a product innovation strategy change at company headquarters resonate the same way at different strategic business units (SBUs)? What factors play a role in differing implementation of new innovation strategies? A ...
