(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This paper presents a battery-less power management unit for piezoelectric energy harvesting which exploits a diode-based rectifier, a storage capacitor, and a custom trigger circuit to extract energy from a piezoelectric ...
A hybrid optimization-simulation approach for robust weekly aircraft routing and retiming
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
We address the robust weekly aircraft routing and retiming problem, which requires determining weekly schedules for a heterogeneous fleet that maximizes the aircraft on-time performance, minimizes the total delay, and ...
Age replacement models: A summary with new perspectives and methods
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
Age replacement models are fundamental to maintenance theory. This paper summarizes our new perspectives and hods in age replacement models: First, we optimize the expected cost rate for a required availability level and ...
On the optimal computing budget allocation problem for large scale simulation optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Selecting a set that contains the best simulated systems is an important area of research. When the number of alternative systems is large, then it becomes impossible to simulate all alternatives, so one needs to relax the ...
A practical solution approach for the green vehicle routing problem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Green vehicle routing (GVRP) is an active research area that is concerned with the development and analysis of distribution activities with eco-friendly vehicles. We propose a practical solution approach for the GVRP that ...

With the increasing concern of global warming, the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions has been accepted worldwide. Realizing the contribution of conventional energy sources to greenhouse gas emissions and the ...
Comparisons of replacement policies with periodic times and repair numbers
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Periodic replacement policies modeled with the history of minimal repairs have been studied extensively. However, in the viewpoint of cost rate, there is no literature to compare replacement polices which are carried out ...
