Demand-driven logistics from a packaging perspective

During the last decade there has been a shift of focus from supply management towards demand management in logistics literature and practice. This article sets out to investigate what impact such a shift has on logistics, especially from a packaging perspective. An extensive literature review has been conducted, focusing on the top three journals in logistics as well as in operations management (J

Energy Efficient MIMO Channel Pre-processor Using a Low Complexity On-Line Update Scheme

This paper presents a low-complexity energy efficient channel pre-processing update scheme, targeting the emerging 3GPP long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) downlink. Upon channel matrix renewals, the number of explicit QR decompositions (QRD) and channel matrix inversions are reduced since only the upper triangular matrices R and R^-1 are updated, based on an on-line update decision mechanism. Th

Old Adults and Robots

Abstract What happens if you put assistive robots in the hands of old adults? Will they accept or reject the robot? If they accept the robot, in which ways will the robot change the everyday lives of old adults? Old adults have a lifetime of experience technological changes.
