Optimal scheduling of shifts and breaks using employees having limited time‐availability
1996
International Journal of Service Industry Management
day (a condition we call limited time-availability). ...
Further increasing the difficulty of developing labour schedules is the fact that managers often resort to using employees available for work only during individually specified portions of the operating ...
The first new constraint set equates the number of shifts scheduled from each availability group to the number of employees from that group who actually work. ...

A New Analytical Model of UMTS Cell
2012
Image Processing & Communications
This paper discusses a new analytical model of the WCDMA radio interface. The proposed model is based on Erlang's Ideal Grading with multi-rate traffic and different availability characteristics. ...
The operation of the new model is presented with the example of the WCDMA interface in which selected classes of calls have introduced traffic constraint. ...
The basis for the analytical model of the WCDMA interface proposed in [4] is, in turn, the limited-availability group model. ...

Multi-dimensional digital human models for ergonomic analysis based on natural data representations
2015
International Journal of the Digital Human
Digital human models are often used for ergonomic analysis of product designs, before physical prototypes are available. ...
However, existing digital human models cannot be used to simultaneously: 1) consider the tissue loads and the physiological effects of the tissue loads; 2) optimise the product properties. ...
New sub-models, which are not shown, can be added, when new sub-models are available. New knowledge, which is not shown, can also be added, when new knowledge is available. ...

Species Distribution Models of Tropical Deep-Sea Snappers
2015
PLoS ONE
Depth was consistently the best predictor of presence for all species groups across all models. Bathymetric slope was consistently the poorest predictor. ...
We developed species distribution models using spatially limited presence data for the main harvested species in the Western Central Pacific Ocean. ...

2010
BMC Health Services Research
Methods: The UNAIDS Mode of Transmission model was populated with Malawi data and estimates of incident cases calculated for each exposure group. ...
No community based incidence studies have been carried out in Malawi, so estimates of where new infections are occurring require the use of mathematical models and knowledge of the size and sexual behaviour ...

Social Support Is a Primary Influence on Home Fruit, 100% Juice, and Vegetable Availability
2008
Journal of the American Dietetic Association
We proposed and tested a model that predicts the availability at home (hereinafter termed "home availability") of fruit, 100% juice, and vegetables, using new measures of frequency of food shopping, purchase ...
Despite many statistically significant bivariate correlations between the new variables and home fruit, 100% juice, and vegetable availability, social support was the primary predictor of home fruit availability ...
The importance of the new variables was emphasized by the substantial increase in predictiveness of the multivariate models when the new variables were added. ...
