We study the dynamic assignment of cross-trained workers in serial production lines characterized by stochastic process times and inventory buffers between stations. Throughput maximization is the objective. Each worker is trained for a subset of tasks, where emphasis is placed on systems with each worker trained for a zone of stations with stations near the zone boundaries being served (shared) by one or more other workers as well. Using sample path comparisons, we identify structural properties of optimal worker allocation policies. We identify when (i) a worker can prioritize the job in the

Abstract:
The execution of emptying policy ensures the convergence of any solution to the system to a unique periodic orbit, which does not impose constraints on service-time and capacity of buffers. Motivated by these problems, in this paper, the service-time-limited policy is first proposed based on the information resulted from the periodic orbit under emptying policy, which imposes lower and upper bounds on emptying time for the queue in each buffer, by introducing lower-limit and upper-limit service-time factors. Furthermore, the execution of service-time-limited policy in the case of finite buffer

Abstract:
We study the problem of dynamically allocating flexible workers to stations in tandem or serial manufacturing systems. Workers are trained to do a subset of consecutive tasks. We show that the optimal policy is often LBFS (last buffer first-served) or FBFS (first buffer first-served). These results generalize earlier results on the optimality of the pick-and-run, expedite, and bucket brigade-type policies. We also show that, for exponential processing times and general manufacturing networks, the optimal policy will tend to have several workers assigned to the same station.

Abstract:
AbstractThe development of higher education system of Azerbaijan reflects the country’s historical transformations. The system started developing with the foundation of the first higher education institution before the establishment of the Soviet Union, expanded during the Soviets and grew into current systems of 52 institutions since independence. Institutions changed in number and nature with the entrance of private universities into the higher education market and increase in number of state universities. Three-cycle higher education was introduced and institutions utilising Western university practices of management and teaching emerged. Despite the changes, the system still reflects much of the Soviet period. The typology of higher education institutions (HEIs) in Azerbaijan was built based on their educational, research, internationalisation activities and financial capacity. Institutions were classified as leading state and private higher education institutions, which excel in research and rank high in country ranking lists. The second group of institutions are known for good quality education but do not give a heavy weight on research. The last type of higher education institutions serve the purpose of preparing teachers and other public sector employees.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Charlotte Perkins Gilman's concept of what she called the “World's Mother”—the selfless, nurturing woman-spirit who loves, protects, and teaches the entire human race. Gilman was known for her involvement in Nationalism, the political movement inspired by Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward. But whereas Carpenter imagined that homogenic lovers could serve as the utopian vanguard, Gilman believed that emancipated women would play that role. According to Gilman, women's independence was a precondition of socialism and argued that once women were liberated from compulsory domesticity, they would be free to bring their unique perspective as mothers into the social sphere. During the early years of the twentieth century, Gilman wrote a series of utopian fictions, including Herland (1915). This chapter first provides a background on Gilman before discussing her utopianism, her gynaecocentric theory, her concept of the kitchenless home, and her views on motherhood, race, religion, and socialism.

Abstract:
This chapter returns to the concept of affordances introduced in chapter 1. It proceeds in the spirit of thinking through theoretical approaches’ affordances to ask how specific critical theories and constructivisms might inform each other in the absence of a broader constructivist–critical theory synthesis. It does so in two parts. The first looks at examples of specific overlaps in which the affordances of a particular constructivism serve the needs of a particular exercise in critical theory, or vice-versa. It demonstrates that, while there are approaches that do not afford overlap, there are also approaches that do afford overlap. The second part argues that a politics and an ontology are not strictly analogous; the scope for constructivist tools in critical research is in fact narrower than the scope for critical reading of constructivist research.

Abstract:
Multilevel feedback queue scheduling (MLFQ) algorithm is based on the concept of several queues in which a process moves. In earlier scenarios there are three queues defined for scheduling. The two higher level queues are running on Round Robin scheduling and last level queue is running on FCFS (First Come First Serve). A fix time quantum is defined for RR scheduling and scheduling of process depends upon the arrival time in ready queue. Previously a lot of work has been done in MLFQ. In our propose algorithm Smart Job First Multilevel feedback queue (SJFMLFQ) with smart time quantum (STQ), the processes are arranged in ascending order of their CPU execution time and calculate a Smart Priority Factor SPF on which processes are scheduled in queue. The process which has lowest SPF value will schedule first and the process which has highest SF value will schedule last in queue. Then a smart time quantum (STQ) is calculated for each queue. As a result, we found decreasing in turnaround time, average waiting time and increasing throughput as compared to the previous approaches and hence increase in the overall performance.

Abstract:
Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Cancer Caregivers (MCP-C) is a novel therapeutic approach intended to address the existential concerns commonly experienced by caregivers of patients with cancer. Based on an empirically supported intervention that has demonstrated efficacy in improving the quality of life of patients with advanced cancer, breast cancer survivors, and bereaved parents, MCP-C is the first targeted psychotherapy to address the existential needs of caregivers of patients with cancer. Through MCP-C, caregivers come to understand the benefits of connecting with meaning in their lives and how specific sources of meaning may serve as resources, buffer common symptoms of burden, and diminish despair, especially as loved ones transition to end-of-life care. In this chapter, we present an overview of MCP-C sessions and techniques, and illustrate its application through a case example. The adaptation of MCP-C for delivery over the Internet and future directions for implementation and dissemination are also discussed.

‘Foreigners in Assyria’ looks at Assyrian interactions with the wider world by focusing on foreigners in the city of Aššur and how they got there. The first two cases explore Assyrian political and cultural links to the Mesopotamian south in the second millennium bc. The third case shows Assyrian diplomacy in action when an Anatolian ruler—Seni, king of Daienu—was invited, like it or not, to visit Aššur. The last two cases focus on inhabitants of the city of Aššur who had been relocated there by force from Iran and serve to emphasize how the Assyrian heartland was an increasingly multicultural, cosmopolitan environment during its imperial phase.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 6’s case study on Indonesia, as with the previous three chapters, begins with a description of Indonesia’s death penalty laws, the country’s recent history of executions, and a list of publicly known clemency grants from 1991 to 2016. Thereafter, as with the previous chapter covering Malaysia, Chapter 6 lists several counterbalancing explanations for Indonesia’s ambivalent clemency practice from 1991 to 2016. Of the four jurisdictions under study, Indonesia’s clemency practice is easily the most irregular, seemingly defined more by ad hoc case-based factors and immediate political considerations than by long-term, consistent policies on particular crime and offender categories. As Chapter 6 documents in detail, the inconsistency of clemency over time and between cases is in itself the notable trend in Indonesia. Chapter 6 argues that the medium rate of clemency in Indonesia’s death penalty system is potentially explained by several theoretically informed factors: leniency exercised at earlier stages of capital cases’ progress through the criminal justice system; democratization and Indonesia’s ‘rule of law’ politics in the post-Suharto (1998–) Reformasi (reform) era; the collective pardon of the remaining 1965 ‘coup’ political prisoners by President Habibie in 1999; and finally, Indonesia’s uniquely languid clemency procedures before streamlining reforms in 2010. The first two factors serve to inhibit clemency, whereas the latter two lift Indonesia’s clemency rate to 26–33 per cent, at the very minimum.

Full text
Abstract:
In the wake of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and the Great Recession that followed, insecurity emerged as a central theme in elections across the developed democracies. But what drives feelings of insecurity? In this chapter we show that mass perceptions of economic precariousness are shaped not only by individual- and macro-level economic conditions but by political elites as well. Elites take action to buffer the effects of economic downturn through concrete policy efforts. Politicians and party leaders can also help calm insecure voters through their messages, speeches, and rhetoric. Statistical analyses of CSES data show that the financial crisis has both short-term and long-term effect on individuals’ economic perceptions. Furthermore, feelings of insecurity are shaped by elite cues. Party emphases on welfare concerns serve to moderate the impact of individual risk exposure on perceived insecurity. Chapter implications are twofold. First, a complete understanding of its political effects requires taking into account the effect of the crisis at both stages of development and recovery. And second, what matters for feelings of (in)security is less the magnitude of the crisis but elites’ ability to demonstrate an effective response.

This chapter explores the interface between virtualization and cloud computing for global enterprise mobility. It also investigates the potential both virtualization and cloud computing hold for global enterprises. In this context, it argues that the virtualization of computing operations, applications, and services and the consumerization of digital technologies serve as one of the key drivers of cloud computing. Against this backdrop, the chapter first provides an overview of virtualization, consumerization, and cloud computing. Second, it showcases real life instances in which five enterprises leverage virtualization and cloud computing as part of their cloud business solutions. Third, it outlines some of the hollows and pain points characterizing cloud computing. Fourth and last, the chapter briefly presents possible future trends likely to typify cloud computing.

In recent years, more efforts have been made to improve new and more efficient non-membrane-based methods for water desalination. Capacitive deionization (CDI), a novel technique for water desalination using an electric field to adsorb ions from a solution to a high-porous media, has the capability to recover a fraction of the energy consumed for the desalination during the regeneration process, which happens to be its most prominent characteristic among other desalination methods. This paper introduces a new desalination method that aims improving the performance of traditional CDI systems. T

Abstract:
In this paper we present a road-map for rural electrification in developing countries by means of Renewable Energy based MiViPPs (Microutility virtual power plants). First and foremost a feasibility and viability analysis of the various upcoming and alternative renewable energy options is performed with respect to rural environmental constraints and demands. Renewable Energy based DDG’s (Decentralized Distributed Generation Units) offer the potential for affordable, clean electricity with minimal losses and effective maintenance and local cost recovery. But Independent DDG projects are fraught

Abstract:
Onshore pipeline industry has deployed in the last decade comprehensive integrity management programs in a constrained environment. These programs address all types of threats and resulting defects, yet the most complex defects are those due to mechanical damage, as they can combine local pipe deformations (dents) with metal removal (gouges) or even cracks. These programs are first placed in the broader risk management perspective that justify the whole approach and provide a view of the context. Then, operational threat management programs for mechanical damage as implemented by operators are

Abstract:
Endovascular stents in the last decade have been extensively used in intracranial aneurysm (IA) management. Stenting procedure is normally performed with the placement of spring coils inside the aneurysm, where stent will serve as a mechanical scaffold to help anchor the packed coils. Although coiling holds relatively lower morbidity and mortality rate than traditional treatment, its applications to wide-necked IAs, IAs with large fusiform shapes, and thin-walled IAs are still problematic due to the difficulty of securing the coils in the first two scenarios and the vascular susceptibility to

Abstract:
With the success of CSP technology in the last years more players are active in the market, inducing the need for harmonization of technical terms and methodologies. The mission of the SolarPACES “guiSmo” project which was started in 2010 is to develop a guideline for CSP yield analysis [1]. Activities carried out so far have shown that people have different understandings of many terms used in daily CSP practice. Especially for the development of guidelines, the essential terms need to be clearly defined in order to avoid inconsistencies within the same project. A first version of a nomenclat
