A Bus Crew Scheduling Problem with Eligibility Constraints and Time Limitations
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2017)In this study, we consider a real life crew scheduling problem (CSP) of a public bus transportation authority, where the objective is to determine the optimal number of different types of crew members with a minimum cost ... -
A desktop application to learn the actual workload of the students
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)The use of European Credit Transfer system (ECTS) provides a reference standard for exchange students across the European Union (EU). It helps more transparency and compatibility to compare the self-study period and ... -
A discrete cross aisle design model for order-picking warehouses
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019)In this paper, we develop new warehouse designs that provide a reduction in travel distance for the order-picking operation, which is the most costly operation and the one most closely associated with order delivery time. ... -
A manufacturing-oriented model for evaluating the satisfaction of workers - Evidence from Turkey
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)Job satisfaction, in terms of worker's satisfaction, is one of the intensively studied areas in human resource and management. However, there is little information available on how ergonomics and the manufacturing environment ... -
A McKean-Vlasov optimal mixed regular-singular control problem for nonlinear stochastic systems with Poisson jump processes
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)In this paper, we develop the necessary conditions of optimality for a new class of mixed regular-singular control problem for nonlinear forward-backward stochastic systems with Poisson jump processes of McKean-Vlasov type. ... -
A novel method for food particle production using subcritical water extraction: Ganoderma mushroom as a case example
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)In recent years, supercritical fluid-based technologies have been used for the production of food particles as well as the extraction. These methods are used in particle generation as well as extraction due to properties ... -
A practical method for isolation of phenolic compounds from black carrot utilizing pressurized water extraction with in-site particle generation in hot air assistance
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2017)Anthocyanins and related phenolic compounds can be extracted from highly pigmented garden vegetables and their by-products using subcritical water with or without a secondary co-solvent, ethanol. Carrot, being one of the ... -
A reward-based algorithm for the stacking of outbound containers
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2017)As global trade increases, container transshipment activities increase rapidly. Therefore, high competition among container terminals has emerged. The decision for good stacking positions for containers plays a critical ... -
An embedded Markov chain approach to stock rationing
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)We propose a new method for the analysis of lot-per-lot inventory systems with backorders under rationing. We introduce an embedded Markov chain that approximates the state-transition probabilities. We provide a recursive ... -
An embedded Markov chain approach to stock rationing under batch orders
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019)We provide an extension to the embedded Markov chain approach of Fadiloglu and Bulut (2010) for the analysis of lot-per-lot inventory systems with backorders under rationing. This extension generalizes the method so that ... -
Analysis of Unethical Behaviors in Social Networks: An Application in the Medical Sector
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2014)The analysis of ethical problems in the organizational life requires considering individual, contextual, and issue-related factors, as well as the social relationships of actors, who are embedded into the system. Focusing ... -
Architecture and music in the Baroque period
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2012)The disciplines of architecture and music interact with each other throughout history. Works of architecture and music are influenced by the semantic and historic features of the period lived in. Composers and architects ... -
Artificial bee colony algorithm for scheduling and rescheduling fuzzy flexible job shop problem with new job insertion
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)This study addresses flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) with two constraints, namely fuzzy processing time and new job insertion. The uncertainty of processing time and new job insertion are two scheduling related ... -
Automated classification of MR images for recognising Alzheimer's disease in living patients

Benefits of semantic approach in the learning environment
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)Mobile devices are mainly lack of regular user interfaces that facilitate the human-computer interaction and the access to network resources. However, almost all commercial applications contain their mobile versions. If ... -
Contrasting Instrumental Views on Corporate Social Responsibility: Short-term versus Long-term Profit Orientation Approach
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2015)The theoretical debate over the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been proliferated with the rise of diverse approaches during the last decades. The current study focuses particularly on the instrumental ... -
Decoupling solution moduli of bigravity
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)A complete classification of exact solutions of ghost-free, massive bigravity is derived which enables the dynamical decoupling of the background, and the foreground metrics. The general decoupling solution space of the ... -
Does it really worth investing in relationship marketing for a port business?
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019)Container terminals have been facing intense competition and continuously changing environment due to some forces such as strategic alliances, privatization, overlapping hinterlands, and global terminal operators. To justify ... -
Effective use of cloud computing in educational institutions
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)Cloud computing is becoming an adoptable technology for many of the organizations with its dynamic scalability and usage of virtualized resources as a service through the Internet. It will likely have a significant impact ... -
Effects of employee trainings on the occupational safety and health in accommodation sector
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)In our age, it is a well-known reality that human resource is the key factor of organizational success. Companies' power comes from the physical and mental strength of their workers. Therefore, sustainability of being ...
