Background. In response to demand for fast and efficient clinical testing, the use of point-of-care testing (POCT) has become increasingly common in United States. However, studies POCT implementation have found that adopting may not always be advantageous relative centralized laboratory testing. Methods. We construct a simulation model patient flow an outpatient care setting evaluate tradeoffs involved across multiple dimensions, comparing measures outcomes varying scenarios, regimes,...
Energy-efficient dispatching of rail-guided vehicles (RGVs) is demanded in an automated air cargo terminal. The problem aims to minimize total energy cost operating RGVs for transporting the cargos subject real time constraints. This work focuses on solving optimal with a single RGV having multiple capacity. A mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model developed problem, which takes account various constraints, including loading, deadlock avoidance, precedence, window and capacity...
Rail-guided vehicles (RGVs) are widely employed in automated freight handling system (AFHS) to transport surging air cargo. Energy-efficient routing of such is great interest for both financial and environmental sustainability. Given a multi-capacity RGV working on linear track AFHS, we consider its optimal under two-sided loading/unloading (TSLU) operations, which energy consumption minimized conflict-avoidance time window constraints. The takes account routing-dependent gross weight...
