Analyzing bank “black boxes”: A two-stage Nerlovian profit inefficiency model
(2021)The paper introduces a two-stage network Nerlovian profit inefficiency estimator, modelling bank’ “black box” production processes. The unique features of the model include the modelling of a risk factor measured by period ... -
Application development: Fly to the clouds or stay in-house?
(2010)Cloud computing is a recent trend in IT that moves computing and data away from desktop and portable PCs into large data centers, and outsources the "applications" (hardware and software) as services over the Internet. ... -
Application of variable rate fertilizer in a commercial apple orchard
(2013)The spatial variability of yield in an apple orchard is high due to the inherent soil variability and the impact of the environment on the trees. One practice of precision agriculture is the variable rate application (VRA) ... -
C2M: Mobile data offloading to mesh networks
(2014)As the unprecedented growth of mobile data traffic places significant strain on cellular networks, alternative plans for exploiting already existing and under-utilized wireless infrastructure, become quite attractive. In ... -
Comparison of optimal buffer allocation in flow lines under installation buffer, echelon buffer, and CONWIP policies
(2020)We compare the optimal buffer allocation of a manufacturing flow line operating under three different production control policies: installation buffer (IB), echelon buffer (EB), and CONWIP (CW). IB is the conventional ... -
Farm management information systems: Current situation and future perspectives
(2015)Farm Management Information Systems (FMIS) in agriculture have evolved from simple farm record-keeping into sophisticated and complex systems to support production management. The purpose of current FMIS is to meet the ... -
Forecasting Methods to Support the Decision Framework of Prosumers in Deregulated Markets
(2021)In the present paper, a profit maximization problem for a prosumer is formulated and solved. The prosumer selects the electricity procurement approach among the pool market and forward contracts. Instead of treating the ... -
Integrating uncertainty quantification in reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) analysis in the conceptual and preliminary stages of chemical process design
(2021)Traditional analysis of a proposed process design uses average input values in the performance assessment model, thereby generating single-point estimates. The resulting estimates ignore reliability, availability, and ... -
Mitigation of operational failures via an economic framework of reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) during conceptual design
(2020)Abnormal process situation may lead to tremendous negative impact on sustainability, wellbeing of workers and adjacent communities, company's profit, and stability of supply chains. Failure of equipment and process subsystems ... -
A novel integrated profit maximization model for retailers under varied penetration levels of photovoltaic systems
(2021)In contemporary energy markets, the Retailer acts as the intermediate between the generation and demand sectors. The scope of the Retailer is to maximize its profits by selecting the appropriate procurement mechanism and ... -
Performance simulation and economic evaluation of tri-generation plant, based on a single shaft gas turbine
(2009)This paper provides an intergraded realistic tool, which simulates the future operation (technical and economic) of a tri-generation plant, capable of helping the potential investor decide if it is profitable to proceed ... -
Precision agriculture applications in horticultural crops in greece and worldwide
(2011)Precision agriculture is the management of spatial and temporal variability of the fields using ICT. The application in horticultural crops was developed in the last ten years. Data are collected from different sources ... -
A recovery mechanism with loss-related profits in a day-ahead electricity market with non-convexities
(2011)In wholesale electricity markets, unit commitment costs and capacity constraints create non-convexities which may bring about losses to some of the participating generation units. To keep the losing units in the market, a ... -
Variable rate application of side-dress nitrogen on cotton in Georgia, USA
(2013)Uniform application of fertilizers is inefficient as it does not consider field variability. During the last decade, variable rate application (VRA) has become increasingly popular. The goal of this study was to asses VRA ...
