Recurrent event queries (REQ) constitute a special class of search queries occurring at regular, predictable time intervals. The freshness of documents ranked for such queries is ...
Abstract--We present a new scheme to reduce the end-toend routing delay in the mission-critical applications of the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) under the duty cycle model. Whil...
In this work, we address investment decisions in production systems by using real options. As is standard in literature, the stochastic variable is assumed to be normally distribu...
The purpose of the air distribution system in a fluidised bed combustor is to provide a reasonably uniform spread of combustion air over the entire horizontal cross-sectional area...
