Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, a major public health concern in developing countries, continues to be a priority for the World Health Organization. S. Typhi possesses a viaB locus responsible for the biosynthesis of ...
Modified (Q, r) Inventory Control Policy for an Assemble-to-Order Environment
(2010-10-12)
The traditional (Q,r) inventory control model assumes that the date at which the order is entered is the same as the date at which it is requested or expected to be delivered. Hence, the penalty cost is incurred when the ...
Randomized and Deterministic Parameterized Algorithms and Their Applications in Bioinformatics
(2010-07-14)
Parameterized NP-hard problems are NP-hard problems that are associated with
special variables called parameters. One example of the problem is to find simple
paths of length k in a graph, where the integer k is the ...
