AN APPARATUS BASED ON TURBULENT MIXING FOR DELIVERY OF ODOROUS STIMULI
"... Abstract. A simple olfactometer adaptable for animal and human experimentation is described. The apparatus is based on a principle of thorough turbulent mixing and allows accurate determination of stimulus composition, concentration and duration. Several odours might be introduced simul-taneously. T ..."

A general heuristic for vehicle routing problems
- Computers & Operations Research
, 2007
"... We present a unified heuristic, which is able to solve five different variants of the vehicle routing problem: the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP), the multi-depot vehicle routing problem (MDVRP), the site dependent vehicle routing pr ..."

Managing Markets for Public Service: The Role of Mixed Public/Private Delivery of City Services. Public Administration Review, forthcoming.
, 2007
"... Abstract The privatization experience of U.S. municipalities shows declining use of complete contracts and a dramatic rise in mixed public/private delivery (joint contracting) of city services. Our analysis shows city managers have recognized the need to move beyond a simple dichotomy between marke ..."

A hybrid solution approach for ready-mixed concrete delivery
- Transportation Science
, 2009
"... Companies in the concrete industry are facing the following scheduling problem on a daily basis: concrete produced at several plants has to be delivered at customers ’ construction sites using a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles in a timely, but cost-effective manner. As the ordered quantity of concre ..."

of concrete typically exceeds the capacity of a single vehicle several deliveries need to be scheduled in order to fulfill an order. The deliveries cannot overlap and the time between consecutive deliveries has to be small. Our solution approach effectively integrates optimization and heuristic techniques
Mixed Integer Linear Programming for Delivery Planning in Joint Replenishment Problems
"... This paper deals with the Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) in multi item and multi site settings based on the common cycle strategy. The proposed delivery planning method, in deterministic and constant demand environment, uses Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) algorithm. It is shown that the ..."

Free-on-board and uniform delivery pricing strategies in a mixed duopsony
, 2010
"... This paper analyses free-on-board (FOB) versus uniform delivery (UD) pricing policy choices in a mixed duopsony market. We use a two-stage game between a profit maxi-mising investor owned firm and a cooperative which aims at maximising the welfare of its members. The results show that UD (FOB) prici ..."
