A global renormalization procedure used recently to calculate thermal volumetric properties near and to far from the critical point for several simple square-well and Lennard–Jones fluids for which comparison could be made with Monte Carlo and molecular dynamic simulations is here applied to a...

The design of end-of-aisle order picking systems is addressed by focusing on a miniload automated storage/retrieval system. Performance models are developed for the miniload and a design algorithm is presented. The design algorithm has as its objective the minimization of the number of storage...

This research introduces methods of stochastic decision processes into location analysis. The specific model concerns making dynamic relocation decisions for a new facility (server) that must interact with existing facilities (customers) whose relocations are stochastic processes. The model is...
