Ford was tasked with determining the best sourcing footprint for its $1.5 billion Automotive Components Holdings, LLC Interiors business. This extensive undertaking required a complete re-engineering of the supply footprint of 42 high-volume product lines over 26 major manufacturing processes and more than 50 potential supplier sites. We propose...

Wavespeed selection refers to the problem of determining the long time asymptotic speed of invasion of an unstable state by some secondary state. This tutorial will discuss wavespeed selection mechanisms for reaction-diffusion equations. Particular emphasis will be placed on the qualitative differences between wavespeed selection in systems of r...

Finding rare genetic variations in large cohorts requires tedious preparation of large numbers of specimens for sequencing. We are developing a solution, called DNA Sudoku, to reduce prep time and increase the throughput of samples. By using a combinatorial pooling approach, we multiplex specimens and then barcode the pools, rather than individu...

Medical message boards are online resources where users with a particular condition exchange information, some of which they might not otherwise share with medical providers. Many of these boards contain a large number of posts and patient opinions and experiences that would be potentially useful to clinicians and researchers. We present an appr...

Minimum Energy Estimation is a way of filtering the state of a nonlinear system from partial and inexact measurements. It is a generalization of Gauss' method of least squares. Its application to filtering of control systems goes back at least to Mortenson who called it Maximum Likelyhood Estimation. For linear, Gaussian systems it reduces to ma...

Platooning vehicles---those traveling in a line with short intervehicle distances---experience reduced aerodynamic drag. Given a set of vehicles with origin/destination nodes/times, we model and solve the combinatorial optimization problem of routing them to their destination on time while using the least amount of fuel. Common approaches for ro...

Mortar. Miniature cylindrical bronze two-handled mortar with flared lip; incised horizontal lines decorate the exterior of the mortar; roughly rectangular handles with concave outer edges. A mortar is a bowl-shaped receptacle and a pestle is a blunt, roughly cylindrical implement. Together they are used for crushing, grinding, and blending pharm...
