We propose a generalized, practitioner-oriented operating-leverage model for predicting operating income using net sales, cost of sales, depreciation, and SG&A. Prior research links operating income directly to these items; hence, our model includes ...

The number of highly automated machines in the agricultural sector has increased rapidly in recent years. To reduce their fuel consumption, and thus their emission and operational cost, the performance of such machines must be optimized. The running gear...

Configuring complex computer-aided design (CAD) assemblies just by modifying parameters requires the attention and abstraction of the users. This interaction cost can be lowered significantly by graphical interactive control elements that allow for drag ...

This research deals with the problem regarding the optimal siting and sizing of distribution static compensators (D-STATCOMs) via the application of a master?slave optimization technique. The master stage determines the nodes where the D-STATCOMs must be...

Low-impact development (LID) practices have been recognized as a promising strategy to control urban stormwater runoff and non-point source pollution in urban ecosystems. However, many experimental and modeling efforts are required to tailor an effective...

Recently, many direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation techniques based on sparse representation have been proposed. However, these techniques often suffer from performance degradation issues in the presence of impulsive noise. This paper aims to overcome ...

Underwater wet-mateable connectors have been widely used to reduce the cost and the time of installation, maintenance and reconfiguration in many fields, such as the oil and gas (O&G) industry, offshore renewable energy (ORE), and undersea observator...

Given two pick-up and delivery points, the best path chosen does not necessarily follow the criteria of minimum travel time or generalized minimum cost evaluated with a deterministic approach. Given a criterion, the perceived cost is not deterministic fo...

The problem of optimal siting and dimensioning of photovoltaic (PV) generators in medium-voltage distribution networks is addressed in this research from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. The exact mixed-integer programming (MINLP) model is ...

Steering large-scale particle or robot systems is challenging because of their high dimensionality. We use a centralized stochastic approach that allows for optimal control at the cost of a central element instead of a decentralized approach. Previous wo...
