Purpose: The time required by the algorithms for general layouts to solve the large-scale two-dimensional cutting problems may become unaffordable. So this paper presents an exact algorithm to solve above problems. Design/methodology/approach: The algorithm uses the dynamic programming algorithm...

Promoting the efficient use of renewable energy and realizing the low-carbon operation of the integrated energy system has become an important direction for the reform of the integrated energy system. In this paper, we firstly construct a microgrid model containing electricity, heat and gas...

This paper studies the value anomaly in the context of Malaysia, an emerging economy with a top heavy, closely held, and state-owned institutional setting. We attribute the anomaly to the investment pattern of growth firms. Our empirical analysis illustrates that growth firms have a tendency to...
