Enabling grassroots communication: a memory-aided broadcast mechanism for a community radio service on an ad-hoc device-to-device mobile network
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., 2014)
This paper investigates deploying a village level
community radio application on an ad hoc network substrate
comprising completely of basic mobile phones. We envision a
system where any user in the network is equally ...
Response-adaptive allocation for circular data
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Response-adaptive designs are used in phase III clinical trials to allocate a larger proportion of patients to the better treatment. Circular data is a natural outcome in many clinical trial setup, e.g., some measurements ...
A novel approach for designing rental vehicle repositioning strategies
(IIE Transactions, 2014)
An important tactical decision for vehicle rental providers is the design of a repositioning strategy to balance vehicle utilization with customer wait times due to vehicle unavailabilities. To address this problem, this ...
Blocking effects in warehouse systems with autonomous vehicles
(IEEE Transactions on Automation Science & Engineering, 2014)
Autonomous vehicle-based storage and retrieval system (AVS/RS) offers considerable flexibility with respect to throughput capacity in the transfer of unit loads in high density storage areas. AVS/RS relies on autonomous ...
Estimating urban – rural income differential in major states of India
(Indianjournals.com, 2014)
In this paper, we have attempted to estimate the urban – rural income differential (URID) for 15 major states based on readily available data on GSDP by sectors, population and employment by sectors and urban – rural ...
