Abstract:

Construction delays are a global phenomenon. Factors causing construction delays in construction projects differ from country to country, due to different prevailing conditions. The prevailing conditions that could exert an influence on project delivery time are: political, economic, and physical factors as well as level of technological development; management style, and construction techniques. The construction industry is a major player in the economy, generating both employment and wealth. However, many projects experience extensive delays and thereby exceed initial time and cost estimates

One of the main problems related with the absence of infrastructure is the lack of a coordinator that can ensure a certain level of quality in order to enable the correct transmission of video and audio.

Abstract:

When a package is shipped, the customer often requires the delivery to be made within a particular time window or by a deadline. However, meeting such time requirements is difficult, and delivery companies may not always know ahead of time which customers will need a delivery. In this thesis, we present models and solution approaches for two stochastic last-mile delivery problems in which customers have delivery time constraints and customer presence is known in advance only according to a probability distribution. Our solutions can help reduce the operational costs of delivery while improving

Abstract:

Drug delivery plays a crucial role in the chemotherapeutic treatment of cancerous solid tumours. A drug, no matter how potent, is only truly effective when it can be delivered to all targeted cells. In recent years it has been recognised that the poor response of tumours to chemotherapy is in part due to inadequate drug delivery. Numerous strategies have been developed to overcome this issue. Of particular interest to the present work is the application of ultrasound and cavitation, which has been shown to be capable of enhancing drug delivery in solid tumours. These enhancements are attribute

Abstract:

The importance of effective and efficient distribution is evident from its associated costs. Transportation and shipping alone comprise roughly 15 percent of a product's sales in the U.S. Physical distribution is very energy and labor intensive, which have both become relatively more expensive in the last 10-15 years. Not surprisingly, there is a growing demand for automated planning systems that produce economical routes. Other than the cost savings, introduction of these systems enables companies to maintain a higher level of service for their customers, it makes them less dependent on human

A just-in-time supply pickup and delivery system (JSS) manages the logistic operations between a manufacturing plant and its suppliers by controlling the sequence, timing, and frequency of container pickups and parts deliveries, thereby coordinating internal conveyance, external conveyance, and the operation of cross-docking facilities. The system is important to just-in-time production lines that maintain small inventories. This research studies the logistics, supply chain, and production control of JSS.

Abstract:

Cancer is the second largest mortal disease in Sweden, and high efforts are made to develop the treatment of cancer. One of the main treatment methods is radiotherapy, which uses ionizing radiation to damage the cancerous cells. This has the chance of stopping the cell reproduction, and the goal is to reduce the tumor and stop the tumor growth. The most common forms of radiotherapy uses external beams to irradiate the tumor. In intensity modulated radiotherapy, IMRT, the beam fluences are optimized to give a highly conformal dose, i.e. a dose distribution which is restricted to the tumor and h

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the exact minimisation of treatment delivery time for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for the treatment of cancer using Multileaf Collimators (MLC). Although patients are required to remain stationary during the delivery of IMRT, inevitably some patient movement will occur, particularly if treatment times are longer than necessary. Therefore minimising the treatment delivery time of IMRT may result in less patient movement, less inaccuracy in the dosage received and a potentially improved outcome for the patient.

This work investigated the current selection algorithms based upon chunk size, parallel connections, permanent connection, and time based switching.

In this research, we design the online shopping websites to simulate the situation which consumers shopping on the Internet, discussing the delivery time preferences of consumers in different factors through two experiments. Study 1 which used a two-factors 2 (product type: utilitarian product, hedonic product) by 2 (purchase situation: gift situation, self-use situation) design, investigating the delive

碩士<br>中原大學<br>工業與系統工程研究所<br>101<br>In the face of recession environment and competitive pressure, companies start to take actions on reducing capital expenditures and downsizing manpower. Nevertheless, if the demand continues to decline and companies fail to make the breakthrough, they may explore themselves to a very high degree risk of bankrupt. This research considers a case company that faces large demand fluctuations and rush orders caused by the recession environment. In order to increase the company’s competence, the case company not only continues to create innovative products, but

博士<br>國立中山大學<br>資訊工程學系研究所<br>101<br>Peer-to-Peer (P2P) overlay networking is an important development for distributed systems and the evolution of Internet architecture. It has demonstrated its feasibility and economic potential for services involving millions of users. A fundamental challenge is to minimize average finish time, TA, of completing data delivery from a single source to multiple receivers with a constrained capacity for propagating data. When a network has n users and heterogeneous capacity, we have 2n possible deployments in the network, and the problem of finding out the best o

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立東華大學<br>運籌管理研究所<br>100<br>Traditional wholesalers have to deal with many different kinds of retailers every day. Wholesalers, in order to improve service quality, usually provide distribution services. There are, however, many different kinds of retailers, each of with different business hours, and wholesalers must deliver goods in different time windows. This presents a typical VRPTW problem. On the other hand, vehicles deliver goods at different times, meaning traffic flow will be different, and this affects delivery times. In order to meet the actual demand, we add the time dependen

Abstract:

The Speedy Delivery (SD) waveform does not undergo dispersion in transmission lines. The waveform was first introduced by Dr. Robert Flake in US Patent 6,441,695 B1 issued on August 27, 2002. Use of the SD waveform allows for high precision time domain measurements on transmission lines. High precision time domain reflectometry (TDR) and time domain transmission (TDT) measurements are described. An example measurement is presented. The design of the experimental apparatus is detailed. Voltage bias adjustments are made during measurements to increase the repeatability. Voltage bias adjustments
