The oxygen reduction reaction of the cathode in an Al-air battery plays a key role in the performance of the entire battery. Generally, Pt and its alloys are recognized as catalysts with high oxygen reduction catalytic performance, but their application is limited by the rare earth content and...

We consider a single-server scheduling problem given a fixed sequence of job arrivals with random no-shows and service durations. The joint probability distribution of the uncertain parameters is assumed to be ambiguous and only the support and first moments are known. We formulate a class of...
