Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques are crucial for maximizing oil extraction from established reservoirs. Traditional methods for predicting the effectiveness of EOR strategies are often limited by the complexity of subsurface conditions and the vast amount of data involved. This chapter...

In this paper we consider the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with a flexible project structure and continuous activity durations. A mathematical model based on the resource-flow formulation is developed to tackle this problem. Due to the NP-hard nature of the problem, this...

We assess the effects of the historically unprecedented expansion of U.S. unemployment insurance (UI) payments during the COVID-19 pandemic. The adverse economic impacts of the pandemic, notably the pattern of job losses and earnings reductions, were disproportionately borne by lower-income...
