Problem definition: We study a dynamic finishing-stage planning problem of a pork producer who at the beginning of each week gets to see how many market-ready hogs she has available for sale and th…
A novel low-complexity combined resampling, retiming and equalizing (RRE) algorithm is proposed. The RRE algorithm uses a single FIR filter for resampling, retiming and equalizing and thus lower th…
We show that superstitions—beliefs without scientific grounding—impact the investment and risk-taking of Chinese firms. We focus on widely held beliefs in bad luck during one’s “zodiac year…
In contrast to the traditional feature selection (FS), local FS (LFS) partitions the whole sample space and obtains the feature subset for each local region. However, most existing LFS algorithms l…
This paper proposes a new mathematical formulation for flow measurement based on the inverse source problem for wave equations with partial boundary measurement. Inspired by the design of acoustic …
In order to improve the fabrication robustness of the inverse-designed devices that have complex topology structures, we propose an optimization technique, named as structure transformation (ST), t…
In this article, we first propose a novel secret key update scheme only with a single support vector machine (SVM). To achieve robust and efficient key management for secure orthogonal frequency di…
For optical field recovery and linear dispersion compensation, we propose a performance-enhanced linearization algorithm, termed adaptive hybrid multi-constraint iteration algorithm (MCIA), which d…
In this study, we investigate the effect of a brand crisis on the customer relationship management (CRM) efforts of brands on social media. Despite the opportunities social media offers to brands t…
Online healthcare portals have become prevalent worldwide in recent years. One common form of a healthcare portal is the online consultation website, which provides a bridge between patients and do…
