Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Model for Reducing the Backlog of Service Orders at Electric Power Utilities

This paper proposes a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming model with a two-phase objective function to optimize the strategic allocation of technical teams and reduce service order backlogs at electric utilities, demonstrating through extensive testing and ablation studies that it significantly outperforms traditional FIFO, EOQ, and (s,S) policies in efficiency, cost, and service levels.

Trigger Determination and Evaluation of Capability Emergence in Combat Systems Based on Self-Organized Criticality Phase Transition

This paper proposes a dual micro-macro framework grounded in self-organized criticality theory and cellular automata to determine and quantify the emergence of combat system capabilities, demonstrating through simulation that specific density and fractal dimension thresholds trigger a critical state where emergent performance significantly exceeds linear superposition expectations.

Assessing Climate-Driven Ground Movement Effects on Buried Pipelines Using Efficient 2D and 3D Finite Element Modelling

This study demonstrates that a computationally efficient 2D finite element model, developed in Python, can accurately replicate the soil-pipe interaction behavior and displacement trends of a high-fidelity 3D PLAXIS model under varying climate-driven soil moisture conditions, thereby reducing computational costs by two orders of magnitude to enable large-scale risk assessments for buried pipeline networks.
