The MATERHORN: Unraveling the Intricacies of Mountain Weather

Abstract: Emerging application areas such as air pollution in megacities, wind energy, urban security, and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles have intensified scientific and societal interest in mountain meteorology To address scientific needs and help improve the prediction of mountain weather, the US Department of Defense has funded a research effort—the Mountain Terrain Atmospheric Modeling and Observations (MATERHORN) Program—that draws the expertise of a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional, and multinational group of researchers The program has four principal thrusts, encompassing modeling, experimental, technology, and parameterization components, directed at diagnosing model deficiencies and critical knowledge gaps, conducting experimental studies, and developing tools for model improvements The access to the Granite Mountain Atmospheric Sciences Testbed of the US Army Dugway Proving Ground, as well as to a suite of conventional and novel high-end airborne and surface measurement platfor

Basic Techniques for Lot Streaming

Abstract: We present an overview of basic models and solution algorithms for the lot streaming problem. We include models with continuous and discrete sublot sizes, models with and without intermittent idling of machines, and models with consistent and variable sublots. We also introduce a model with limited transporter capacity. First we present solutions for two machines, then generalize to three machines and, where possible, to several machines. We synthesize previous research and introduce several new results.
