Integrated Vehicle Routing and Crew Scheduling in Waste Management (Part I)
No full textPlanning Waste Management involves the two major resources collection-vehicles and crews. The overall goal of our project with two waste management companies is an integrative approach for planning the routes and the crews of the vehicles.
In the first phase of our three-phase approach we generate daily crew tasks which contain routes operated by a single crew at a particular day within a given disposal horizon considering various practical requirements. The goal is to minimize the number of crews/vehicles required for the entire disposal process. Given the minimal number of crews, in phase 2 we re-optimize the daily crew tasks to increase the robustness of the routes.
In the third phase we assign employees to the generated daily crew tasks for all working days over the year such that the constraints concerning crew scheduling are satisfied and the benefits for the employees and the company are maximal.
For all phases we present solution methods yielding first promising results for a real-world data set

Modelling and assessing vocabulary knowledge
No full textThis book is published in The Cambridge Applied Linguistics Series, one of the world leading series in Applied Linguistics. It is based on contributions of leading researchers at a BAAL/ CUP seminar on vocabulary knowledge and testing held at UWE, Bristol in 2004. Daller brought together contributions from internationally renowned researchers in this field and took the initiative to publish this volume with CUP. The book contains 13 chapters of which two are based on the "learner language project" of UWE. More than 20% of the book is written by Daller as first author. He is first editor of the book as a whole, first author of the editor's introduction (31 pages) and first author of two chapters written together with emerging researchers at UWE; Chapter 8 (Daller and Xue): Lexical richness and the oral proficiency of Chinese EFL students (15 pages) and Chapter 13 (Daller and Phelan): What is in a teacher's mind? The relation between teacher ratings of EFL essays and different aspects of lexical richness (11 pages). As a whole the papers in this book throw valuable light on the issues in measuring vocabulary learning in a second or foreign language and illustrate ways in which vocabulary tests seek to capture the complex and multi-dimensional nature of lexical knowledge (Michael Long and Jack Richards: "Series Editor's Preface to the book")

Sustainability in European Environment Policy: Challenges of Governance and Knowledge
No full textPLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE FULL BOOK TEXT - PUBLISHER POLICY ONLY ALLOWS ACCESS TO AN EXTRACT OF THIS BOOK IN THE UWE BRISTOL RESEARCH REPOSITORYThis book is based on an FR6 Research project – Governance for Sustainability – and constitutes one of the main outputs of the project. The book develops a highly original and innovative analytical model for the study of governance and knowledge and their inter-relationship with specific reference to sustainability. In order to systematically investigate these relationships it examines the development of European policies on Strategic Environmental Assessment, Air Pollution Control and the Emissions Trading System. In particular it focuses on the multi-level governance context (from European to national and local levels) and the potential synergies between new governance modes and different forms of knowledge. The conclusions drawn are based on detailed cross-national and comparative research drawing on 19 case studies from nine European countries (UK, Germany, Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Greece and Norway). The book represents a major contribution to the literature on governance, knowledge and sustainability
Demographic dynamics and long-run development: insights for the secular stagnation debate
No full textThis paper takes a global, long-run perspective on the recent debate about secular stagnation, which has so far mainly focused on the short term. The analysis is motivated by observing the interplay between the economic and demographic transition that has occurred in the developed world over the past 150 years. To the extent that high growth rates in the past have partly been the consequence of singular changes during the economic and demographic transition, growth is likely to become more moderate once the transition is completed. At the same time, a similar transition is on its way in most developing countries, with profound consequences for the development prospects in these countries, but also for global comparative development. The evidence presented here suggests that long-run demographic dynamics have potentially important implications for the prospects of human and physical capital accumulation, the evolution of productivity, and the question of secular stagnation

On the cost of delayed currency fixing announcements
No full textIn Foreign Exchange Markets vanilla and barrier options are traded frequently. The market standard is a cutoff time of 10:00 a.m. in New York for the strike of vanillas and a knock-out event based on a continuously observed barrier in the inter bank market. However, many clients, particularly from Italy, prefer the cutoff and knock-out event to be based on the fixing published by the European Central Bank on the Reuters Page ECB37. These barrier options are called discretely monitored barrier options. While these options can be priced in several models by various techniques, the ECB source of the fixing causes two problems. First of all, it is not tradable, and secondly it is published with a delay of about 10 - 20 minutes. We examine here the effect of these problems on the hedge of those options and consequently suggest a cost based on the additional uncertainty encountered. --exotic options,currency fixings
