A new integrated DEA model for finding most BCC-efficient DMU

In many applications of widely recognized technique, DEA, finding the most efficient DMU is desirable for decision maker. Using basic DEA models, decision maker is not able to identify most efficient DMU. Amin and Toloo [Gholam R. Amin, M. Toloo, Finding the most efficient DMUs in DEA: an improved integrated model. Comput. Ind. Eng. 52 (2007) 71–77] introduced an integrated DEA model for finding most CCR-efficient DMU. In this paper, we propose a new integrated model for determining most BCC-efficient DMU by solving only one linear programming (LP). This model is useful for situations in which return to scale is variable, so has wider range of application than other models which find most CCR-efficient DMU. The applicability of the proposed integrated model is illustrated, using a real data set of a case study, which consists of 19 facility layout alternatives.     

On rectilinear duals for vertex-weighted plane graphs

Let G=(V,E) be a plane triangulated graph where each vertex is assigned a positive weight. A rectilinear dual of G is a partition of a rectangle into |V| simple rectilinear regions, one for each vertex, such that two regions are adjacent if and only if the corresponding vertices are connected by an edge in E. A rectilinear dual is called a cartogram if the area of each region is equal to the weight of the corresponding vertex. We show that every vertex-weighted plane triangulated graph G admits a cartogram of constant complexity, that is, a cartogram where the number of vertices of each region is constant. Furthermore, such a rectilinear cartogram can be constructed in O(nlogn) time where n=|V|.

A method for predicting the internal motion resistance of rubber-tracked undercarriages,Pt. 3. A research on bending resistance of rubber tracks

Optimizing the efficiency of rubber-tracked undercarriages requires models for calculating external and internal motion resistance, including the resistance resulting from bending of rubber tracks. The experiments on the bending resistance of rubber tracks and a new model of this phenomenon are discussed in this article. An empirical model of friction in bearings typically implemented in driving and idler wheels of rubber-tracked undercarriages is also presented. According to the sample computations carried out on the basis of these models, the efficiency of rubber-tracked undercarriages might be improved by minimizing the number and maximizing the diameter of idler wheels. Furthermore, it has been shown that increase in the initial tension and driving force transmitted by rubber tracks does not significantly affect bending resistance of these tracks; however, it results in increased friction in the driving and idler wheels’ bearings. Nevertheless, the higher the driving force transmitted by the rubber tracks, the higher the efficiency of rubber-tracked undercarriages. Consequently, since track systems of vehicles operating at relatively small drawbar pull will manifest exceptionally low efficiency, there is a serious need for optimizing them in terms of energy consumption.     

A travel time estimation model for a high-level picker-to-part system with class-based storage policies

Most previous related studies on warehouse configurations and operations only investigated single-level storage rack systems where the height of storage racks and the vertical movement of the picking operations are both not considered. However, in order to utilize the space efficiently, high-level storage systems are often used in warehouses in practice. This paper presents a travel time estimation model for a high-level picker-to-part system with the considerations of class-based storage policy and various routing policies. The results indicate that the proposed model appears to be sufficiently accurate for practical purposes. Furthermore, the effects of storage and routing policies on the travel time and the optimal warehouse layout are discussed in the paper.     

一种基于色度学的RGBW信号映射算法评价方法

随着对高亮度、低功耗绿色显示技术的不断追求,RGBW显示技术成为了国内外的热门研究方向,已有多种RGBW显示器在市场上开始推广。由于将传统显示器rgb信号转换到RGBW显示器RGBW信号的映射算法不仅需要保留初始颜色,且需要兼容具有不同子像素布局方式的RGBW显示器,因此,信号映射算法成为RGBW显示的关键。在介绍现有的五种信号映射算法的基础上,分析了RGBW显示器中新增的白色子像素对显示颜色的作用方式以及现有四种RGBW子像素布局方式对映射算法显示效果的影响;提出了优秀映射算法应满足的三点要求,并据此推导出优秀映射算法的普适性等式及衡量映射算法亮度提升能力的亮度因子;针对五种映射算法的模拟实验表明：满足普适性等式的映射算法能更好地保留初始颜色的色调和饱和度,亮度因子可有效表征算法对亮度的提升能力。该模型不仅可用于评价现有映射算法,而且可为新型映射算法的研究提供理论指导,使之兼容于具有不同硬件参数和子像素布局的显示器,有助于RGBW显示技术的普及推广。

Improved formulation,branch-and-cut and tabu search heuristic for single loop material flow system design

The single loop material flow system design is a combinatorial optimization problem, arising in material handling system design, which amounts to designing an unidirectional loop flow pattern as well as to locate pickup and delivery stations. The objective is to minimize the time required to carry out all material flow movements between cells. In this paper, we develop valid inequalities for a previously proposed formulation. The valid inequalities are then embedded into a branch-and-cut framework which is shown to solve much larger instances to optimality than those reported in the literature. A tailored tabu search heuristic is also illustrated and computationally assessed.
