Logistics Network Design With Differentiated Delivery Lead Time: A Chemical Industry Case Study, Michelle Lee Fong Cheong, Rohit Bhatnagar, Stephen C. Graves

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Most logistics network design models assume exogenous customer demand that is independent of the service time or level. This paper examines the benefits of segmenting demand according to lead-time sensitivity of customers. To capture lead-time sensitivity in the network design model, we use a facility grouping method to ensure that the different demand classes are satisfied on time. In addition, we perform a series of computational experiments to develop a set of managerial insights for the network design decision making process.

Accommodating Instance Heterogeneities In Database Integration, Ee Peng Lim, Roger Hsiang-Li Chiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

A complete data integration solution can be viewed as an iterative process that consists of three phases, namely analysis, derivation and evolution. The entire process is similar to a software development process with the target application being the derivation rules for the integrated databases. In many cases, data integration requires several iterations of refining the local-to-global database mapping rules before a stable set of rules can be obtained. In particular, the mapping rules, as well as the data model and query model for the integrated databases have to cope with poor data quality in local databases, ongoing local database updates …

Anonymous Secure Routing In Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, Bo Zhu, Zhiguo Wan, Mohan S. Kankanhalli, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Although there are a large number of papers on secure routing in mobile ad-hoc networks, only a few consider the anonymity issue. In this paper, we define more strict requirements on the anonymity and security properties of the routing protocol, and notice that previous research works only provide Weak Location Privacy and Route Anonymity, and are vulnerable to specific attacks. Therefore, we propose the Anonymous Secure Routing (ASR) protocol that can provide additional properties on anonymity, i.e. Identity Anonymity and Strong Location Privacy, and at the same time ensure the security of discovered routes against various passive and active attacks. …

Bankruptcy Law And Inefficient Entitlements, Irit Haviv-Segal

ExpressO

The question as to the justification of bankruptcy law remains unanswered. The literature tends to emphasize the conflict and inability to compromise between the different normative outlooks of the insolvency law system. A deeper reflection on the existing theories of bankruptcy law reveals, however, that all theories share the same starting point: All theories share the understanding that efficiency considerations justify the enforcement of contractual bankruptcy arrangements. When the social theories call for increased levels of coercion and redistribution, these theories rely on normative considerations of distributive justice and rehabilitation values. They by no means rely on efficiency grounds. This …

Bayesian Hierarchical Distributed Lag Models For Summer Ozone Exposure And Cardio-Respiratory Mortality, Yi Huang, Francesca Dominici, Michelle L. Bell

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

In this paper, we develop Bayesian hierarchical distributed lag models for estimating associations between daily variations in summer ozone levels and daily variations in cardiovascular and respiratory (CVDRESP) mortality counts for 19 U.S. large cities included in the National Morbidity Mortality Air Pollution Study (NMMAPS) for the period 1987 - 1994.

At the first stage, we define a semi-parametric distributed lag Poisson regression model to estimate city-specific relative rates of CVDRESP associated with short-term exposure to summer ozone. At the second stage, we specify a class of distributions for the true city-specific relative rates to estimate an overall effect by …

Hyperownership In A Time Of Biotechnological Promise: The International Conflict To Control The Building Blocks Of Life, Sabrina Safrin

Rutgers Law School (Newark) Faculty Papers

This article addresses the corrosive interplay between the patent-based and the sovereign- based systems of ownership of genetic material. In patent-based systems, genetic material is increasingly “owned” by corporations or research institutions which obtain patents over such material. In sovereign-based systems, the national government owns or extensively controls such material. As more patents issue for synthesized genes in developed countries through the patent system, more raw genetic material is legally enclosed by the governments of developing nations, which house most of the world’s wild or raw genetic material. This interactive spiral of increased enclosure results in the sub-optimal utilization, conservation …

Memahami "Cultural Studies" Dan Multikulturalisme Dari Perspektif Pascamodern, Akhyar Yusuf Lubis

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Cultural studies is a study of culture, the paradigm of which is quite different from that of the conventional (i.e. modern) studies. If we accept this view, it means that the whole problem of cultural reality, epistemology, and methodology cannot be used to understand and investigate cultural studies and multiculturalism. The infeasibility of using conventional study of culture to apprehend cultural studies and multiculturalism is related with the principle of incommensurability between those two fields, so there are different worldviews and rules (language games) between the two. This difference is vividly showed in character and model of study that conceives …

Perkembangan Lobi Yahudi Dan Pengaruhnya Terhadap Politik Luar Negeri Dan Kongres Amerika Serikat, Agus Setiawan

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

United States' foreign policy has been extremely influenced by some determinant factors both personal and institutional. However, by the end of World War II, an institution known as interest group, played important role relatively to the determination of United States' foreign policies, particularly those which were related to Middle East conflict. A Jewish lobby known as AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) has been the most powerful interest group to influence the United States' foreign policy especially after President Truman's administration. This article describes the internal development of AIPAC and some AIPAC's actions in order to get public supports to …

Seasonality Of Tuberculosis In India: Is It Real And What Does It Tell Us?, Lorna E. Thorpe, Thomas R. Frieden, Kayla F. Laserson, Charles Wells, Gulshan Khatri

Michigan Bovine Tuberculosis Bibliography and Database

India has a third of the world’s tuberculosis cases. Large-scale expansion of a national program in 1998 has allowed for population-based analyses of data from tuberculosis registries. We assessed seasonal trends using quarterly reports from districts with stable tuberculosis control programs (population 115 million). In northern India, tuberculosis diagnoses peaked between April and June, and reached a nadir between October and December, whereas no seasonality was reported in the south. Overall, rates of new smear-positive tuberculosis cases were 57 per 100 000 population in peak seasons versus 46 per 100 000 in trough seasons. General health-seeking behavior artifact was ruled …

Czy Możliwa Jest Demokratyczna Debata O Regulacji Rynku Mediów?, Przemysław Hensel

European Management Studies

The starting point for this text is the assumption that regulation of the mass media sector is a political problem and, therefore, a democratic debate is an indispensable prerequisite for settling it. The analysis of stakeholders' interests in this sector is conducted in order to answer the question formulated in the text's title. Next, two theories (the agenda-setting theory, the framing effect theory) are presented with the intention of explaining how the media outlets influence public debate on mass media sector regulation. Then, strategies of influence most often used on the Polish media market are described. Finally, the consequences of …

Ochrona Konkurencji A Prokonkurencyjna Regulacja Sektorowa, Tadeusz Skoczny

European Management Studies

The article discusses the two main pro-competitive functions of public intervention into market economy, that is 'competition protection' and 'pro-competitive sector-specific regulation'. It aims in particular to illustrate the basic differences between these two functions. Competition protection is defined here as an intervention directed at the protection of existing competition. It has an ex post (re-active) and individually penalising character. On the other hand, pro-competitive sector-specific regulation is understood as intervention supporting the development of competition. It has an ex ante (pro-active), prescriptive and non-transitory character. The text also shows the fact that the fulfilment of both functions is entrusted …

Program Darowania I Obniżania Kar We Wspólnotowym I Polskim Prawie Ochrony Konkurencji, Marek Sachajko

European Management Studies

The institution of administrative fines is one of the key elements of the penalty system imposed for violation of the ban on competition restricting practices. To make the penalty system more effective under Polish, as well as Community law, there has been a Leniency Programme introduced, based on a collaboration between participants of anti-competition agreements with authorities protecting free competition. Within the framework of the Leniency Programme, there is a possibility to apply two legal instruments toward the co-operating entrepreneur, i.e. immunity from fines and reduction of fines. The subject of the publication is to present and analyse legal and …

The Yeast Rrna Biosynthesis Factor Ebp2p Is Also Required For Efficient Nuclear Division, Costin N. Ionescu, Sofia Origanti, Michael A. Mcalear

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Molecular genetic analysis of the yeast Ebp2 protein has revealed that it is an essential, nucleolar protein that functions in the rRNA biosynthesis pathway. Temperature-sensitive ebp2-1 mutants are defective in the processing of the 27 SA precursor rRNA, and the point substitutions that disrupt this activity cluster towards the central, more highly conserved region of the Ebp2 protein. We report here that other ebp2 mutants exhibit deficiencies associated with defects in chromosome segregation. Yeast cells bearing a 50 amino acid C-terminal truncation allele (ebp2ΔC50) display a slow-growth phenotype and exhibit an increased percentage of cells with …
