Background: In today's business world, where competition lies between supply chains, customer expectations are changing dynamically. Effective order picking in warehouses has become a top concern given expectations for rapid delivery, a larger product range, and continuous support. Methods: In...

High quality computational grids can greatly enhance the accuracy of turbine and compressor cascade simulations especially when time-dependent results are sought where vortical structures are convected through the computational domain. A technique for generating periodic structured grids for...

Two complementary schools have come to the fore in the field of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM): covariance-based SEM and component-based SEM. The first approach developed around Karl Jöreskog. It can be considered as a generalisation of both principal component analysis and factor analysis...
