However, there is limited evidence regarding best practices for designing these cardiac monitoring systems to ensure prompt detection and response to life-threatening events. To identify factors that may affect monitoring efficiency, we simulated critical arrhythmias in inpatient units with different monitoring systems and compared their efficiency in communicating the arrhythmias to a first responder. Methods This was a multicenter cross-sectional in situ simulation study. Simulation participants were monitor watchers and first responders (usually nurses) in 2 inpatient units in each of 3 hospitals. Manipulated variables included: (1) number of communication nodes between monitor watchers and first responders; (2) central monitoring station location—on or off the patient care unit; (3) monitor watchers' workload; (4) nurses' workload; and (5) participants' experience. Results We performed 62 arrhythmia simulations to measure response times of monitor watchers and 128 arrhythmia simulations to measure response times in patient care units. We found that systems in which an intermediary between monitor watchers and nurses communicated critical events had faster response times to simulated arrhythmias than systems in which monitor watchers communicated directly with nurses. Responses were also faster in units colocated with central monitoring stations than in those located remotely. As the perceived workload of nurses increased, response latency also increased. Experience did not affect response times. Conclusions Although limited in our ability to isolate the effects of these factors from extraneous factors on central monitoring system efficiency, our study provides a roadmap for using in situ arrhythmia simulations to assess and improve monitoring performance.}, number={2}, journal={SIMULATION IN HEALTHCARE-JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY FOR SIMULATION IN HEALTHCARE}, author={Segall, Noa and Joines, Jeffrey A. and Baldwin, Ron'Nisha D. and Bresch, Diane and Coggins, Lauren G. and Janzen, Suzanne and Engel, Jill R. and Wright, Melanie C.}, year={2022}, month={Apr}, pages={112–119} }

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to study clothing and shoes disposal behavior of US consumers in an attempt to understand how to divert more clothing and shoes from the landfill.


Design/methodology/approach
A survey was administered to 209 consumers from the general US population. The survey includes questions on demographics, methods of disposal and factors that motivate or prevent consumers from choosing methods other than throwing unwanted clothing in the trash.


Findings
Analysis of demographic data from the survey indicates that gender, income, marital status, living arrangement and type of dwelling have an effect on whether consumers recycle textiles. Other survey results indicate that helping factors are more influential in motivating consumers to recycle clothing and shoes than economic factors. The condition of clothes and shoes and lack of awareness are the most prominent reasons preventing consumers from recycling more textiles. The results also show that there are statistically significant differences between households with and without children when it comes to disposing adults’ clothing and shoes.


Originality/value
These results may help policymakers who want to motivate consumers to recycle or develop recycling programs.

One consequence has been a significant reduction in the response rates to such instruments. The current study was conducted to identify whether offering in-class time to students to complete online SETs would increase response rates. A quasi-experiment (nonequivalent group design) was conducted in which one group of tenured faculty instructed students to bring electronic devices with internet capabilities on a specified day and offered in-class time to students to complete online SETs. A communication protocol for faculty members’ use was developed and implemented. A comparison group of tenured faculty who did not offer in-class time for SET completion was identified and the difference-in-differences method was used to compare the previous year’s response rates for the same instructor teaching the same course across the two groups. Response rates were substantially higher when faculty provided in-class time to students to complete SETs. These results indicate that high response rates can be obtained for online SETs submitted by students in face-to-face classes if faculty communicate the importance of SETs in both their words and actions.}, number={1}, journal={Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Young, Karen and Joines, Jeffrey and Standish, Trey and Gallagher, Victoria}, year={2018}, month={Apr}, pages={37–49} }

The purpose of this study is to examine why Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is not currently a major player in producing apparel for the US market and determine if SSA is likely to become one because of several opportunities that the region offers, including relatively low labor wages, an ample labor force and duty-free access to the USA through the 10-year renewal of AGOA. 
 
 
 
 
Design/methodology/approach 
 
 
 
 
In-depth interviews were conducted with eight high-level executives in apparel sourcing and trade agencies to obtain their views on the opportunities and challenges of sourcing in SSA in relation to other major apparel sourcing regions. A descriptive analysis of the qualitative data was used to answer three research questions. 
 
 
 
 
Findings 
 
 
 
 
The findings reveal that SSA is a competitive region to source from, because of low labor wages and the duty-free benefits through AGOA. However, several challenges hinder a significant increase in sourcing from SSA. The executives recommended that for SSA to be a significant force in the global apparel market, vertical supply chains should be developed, where raw materials like fabric are sourced from within the country/region and SSA governments should become more involved in business environment improvements.

Furthermore, large companies and retailers are shown to be more cost-focused than small and manufacturing companies, respectively. Finally, cost-focused companies are shown to be more likely to switch their international suppliers. By analyzing the buyer side of supplier-switching and identifying the common features of companies engaging in reshoring or relocation, our analysis enables us to better interpret international supplier-switching.

This research used Path Analysis, a special case of SEM, through which the research hypotheses were evaluated. The paper uses survey data collected from US textile and apparel industry members. As an important contribution to previous literature, the results suggest that overall performance appears to be favourably and directly influenced by successful implementation of both SS and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Therefore, SS practices are concluded to directly impact organisational performance rather than being complementary to traditional QM practices. Considering the social and technical (soft and hard) dimensions of QM, our study has found a significant path to SS from process management (PM), but not from other soft aspects. This showed that textile and apparel companies’ SS applications are dominated by hard quality practices, but they have not been yet widely linked with social dimensions such as CRM or Employee Relationship Management (ERM).

Electrospinning is a promising technique for creation of superhydrophobic self-cleaning surfaces owing to a wide set of parameters that allow effectively controlling roughness of resulted webs. This article gives a brief introduction to the theory of super-hydrophobic self-cleaning and basic principles of the electrospinning process and reviews the scientific literature where electrospinning was used to create superhydrophobic surfaces.

These advances have often accompanied reductions in personnel resources and a diminishing expertise base. Conversely, the resolution of problems in the global manufacturing complex increasingly go beyond the abilities of individual experts and can be very time consuming as the process is influenced by a large number of, often, interactive variables. The application of expert systems in the textile industry can help address many of these problems more effectively and economically. In this chapter, an overview of expert system technology is given and different types of expert systems including rule-based, fault trees, model-based, machine learning and hybrid approaches are described and compared. A brief review of system principles, strengths and shortcomings is given and the development strategy is described.

Poor decisions can lead to excess inventories that are costly or to insufficient inventory that cannot meet its customer demands. These decisions may be as simple as "how much to order" or "how often to order" to more complex decision forecasting models. This paper addresses optimizing these sourcing decisions within a supply chain to determine robust solutions. Utilizing an existing supply chain simulator, an optimization methodology that employs genetic algorithms is developed to optimize system parameters. The performance measure that is optimized plays a very important role in the quality of the results. The deficiencies in using traditionally used performance measures in optimization are discussed and a new multi-objective GA methodology is developed to overcome these limitations.}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 2002 Winter Simulation Conference: Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, San Diego, CA, U.S.A., December 8-11, 2002}, publisher={Association for Computing Machinery}, author={Joines, J.

These problems were used to compare the performance of WASSP with that of the Heidelberger-Welch algorithm and ASAP3, two sequential procedures based respectively on the methods of spectral analysis and nonoverlapping batch means.

ASAP3 is a sequential procedure designed to produce a confidence-interval estimator that satisfies user-specified requirements on absolute or relative precision as well as coverage probability. ASAP3 operates as follows: the batch size is progressively increased until the batch means pass the Shapiro-Wilk test for multivariate normality; and then ASAP3 fits a first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) time series model to the batch means. If necessary, the batch size is further increased until the autoregressive parameter in the AR(1) model does not significantly exceed 0.8. Next, ASAP3 computes the terms of an inverse Cornish-Fisher expansion for the classical batch means t-ratio based on the AR(1) parameter estimates; and finally ASAP3 delivers a correlation-adjusted confidence interval based on this expansion. Regarding not only conformance to the precision and coverage-probability requirements but also the mean and variance of the half-length of the delivered confidence interval, ASAP3 compared favorably to other batch means procedures (namely, ABATCH, ASAP, ASAP2, and LBATCH) in an extensive experimental performance evaluation.}, number={1}, journal={ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation}, publisher={Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)}, author={Steiger, Natalie M. and Lada, Emily K. and Wilson, James R. and Joines, Jeffrey A. and Alexopoulos, Christos and Goldsman, David}, year={2005}, month={Jan}, pages={39–73} }

Filters that minimize entropy in images tend to filter out fabric texture while highlighting fabric defects. The design of the wavelet filter is couched as a non-convex optimization problem which is solved using a hybridized Genetic Algorithm. Three distinct filters are tuned to detect horizontal, vertical and blob defects in woven fabrics. In addition to texture filtering, defect segmentation, noise removal, and object extraction are presented. The effects of shifting on the optimized set of coefficients is also explored.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of the Textile Institute}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Jasper, W. and Joines, J.

However, in real-world problems inputs and outputs are often imprecise. This paper develops DEA models using imprecise data represented by fuzzy sets (i.e., “fuzzy DEA” models). It is shown that fuzzy DEA models take the form of fuzzy linear programming which typically are solved with the aid of some methods to rank fuzzy sets. As an alternative, a possibility approach is introduced in which constraints are treated as fuzzy events. The approach transforms fuzzy DEA models into possibility DEA models by using possibility measures of fuzzy events (fuzzy constraints). We show that for the special case, in which fuzzy membership functions of fuzzy data are of trapezoidal types, possibility DEA models become linear programming models.

One approach is through cellular manufacturing, an implementation of the concepts of group technology. The design of a cellular manufacturing system requires that a part population be at least minimally described by its use of process technology (padmachine incidence matrix) and partitioned into part families and that the associated plant equipment be partitioned into machine cells. At the highest level, the objective is to form a set of completely autonomous units such that inter-cell movement of parts is minimized. This paper presents a stochastic global optimization technique utilizing genetic algorithms (GAS) and local improvement procedures (LIPs) to solve the cell design problem. The combination of LIPs with GAS is shown to improve the performance of the GA in terms of solution quality and computational efficiency. Several different methods of incorporating these procedures into the GA are investigated. The concepts used in these hybrid techniques can easily be extended to other variations of the cell design problem as well as to other LIPs.}, number={5}, journal={Journal of the Chinese Institute of Industrial Engineers}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Joines, Jeffrey A. and Kay, Michael G. and King, Russell E. and Thomas Culbreth, C.}, year={2000}, month={Sep}, pages={549–564} }

Each of these heuristics, e.g., simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, tabu search, etc., has been shown to be effective at finding good solutions efficiently. However, little work has been directed at determining what are the important problem characteristics for which one algorithm is more efficient than the others. By examining two problems, the location-allocation problem and the quadratic assignment problem, characteristics of successfil tabu search are illustrated. A tabu search for the location-allocation problem is described and implemented. The results of this tabu search are compared against a genetic algorithm. For the quadratic assignment problem, tabu search has been shown more effective than genetic algorithms; however, for the location-allocation problem, the genetic algorithm finds better solutions more efficiently than tabu search. To. investigate what characteristics of the location-allocation problem makes it less amenable to tabu search, a comparison between the location-allocation problem and the quadratic assignment problem is performed. A comparison of the problem characteristics reveals that the location-allocation problem has very large basins of attraction around a few local optima. For tabu search to escape these minima requires a large number of iterations. Finally, a combination of both tabu search and genetic algorithms is presented for the location-allocation problem, where regions around genetically determined sample points are marked as tabu. This combination (i.e., adpative memory) compares favorably to the genetic algorithm in terms of increased computational efficiency.}, number={5}, journal={Journal of the Chinese Institute of Industrial Engineers}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Joines, Jeffrey A. and Houck, Christopher R. and Kay, Michael G.}, year={2000}, month={Sep}, pages={527–536} }

Hybrid GAs are the combination of improvement procedures, which are good at finding local optima, and GAs. There are two basic strategies for using hybrid GAs. In the first, Lamarckian learning, the genetic representation is updated to match the solution found by the improvement procedure. In the second, Baldwinian learning, improvement procedures are used to change the fitness landscape, but the solution that is found is not encoded back into the genetic string. This paper examines the issue of using partial Lamarckianism (i.e., the updating of the genetic representation for only a percentage of the individuals), as compared to pure Lamarckian and pure Baldwinian learning in hybrid GAs. Multiple instances of five bounded nonlinear problems, the location-allocation problem, and the cell formation problem were used as test problems in an empirical investigation. Neither a pure Lamarckian nor a pure Baldwinian search strategy was found to consistently lead to quicker convergence of the GA to the best known solution for the series of test problems. Based on a minimax criterion (i.e., minimizing the worst case performance across all test problem instances), the 20% and 40% partial Lamarckianism search strategies yielded the best mixture of solution quality and computational efficiency.}, number={1}, journal={EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION}, publisher={MIT Press - Journals}, author={Houck, Christopher R. and Joines, Jeffery A. and Kay, Michael G. and Wilson, James R.}, year={1997}, pages={31–60} }

This problem is difficult to solve using traditional optimization techniques because of its multimodal, nonconvex nature. The alternate location-allocation (ALA) method has been shown to be an effective local improvement procedure for the location-allocation problem. Using the ALA method, an empirical analysis was done to determine the number and size of the local minima of the location-allocation problem to demonstrate the reduction of the size of the search space that can be achieved through the use of the ALA method as an evaluator. A genetic algorithm that evaluates a series of ALA solutions was developed and compared to two traditional heuristic procedures for the problem: random restart and H4, a two-opt procedure. Like the genetic algorithm, both procedures evaluate a series of ALA solutions. A statistical analysis of the quality of the solutions provided by the three procedures for several problems of varying size demonstrated that the genetic algorithm provides the best solutions. An examination of the number of ALA evaluations performed by each procedure showed that the genetic algorithm also found solutions to the larger size problems much quicker than either the random restart or the H4 procedures.}, number={6}, journal={Computers & Operations Research}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Houck, C.

These curves are usually far from being representative of the true population. The idea of generalization is to find the curve that best fits the true underlying population and not the training set.

In some instances, machines produce batch quantities of products which are placed in inventories. Demands are allocated directly from these inventories if available. If current inventory levels can not satisfy the demands and associated due dates, outsourcing some of the product, generally at a premium price offers a way to meet all due dates. Scheduling to meet due-dates coupled with inventory control is an important and more complex problem than the general scheduling problem. One application arises in furniture manufacturing where the lumber used to make furniture must first be dried from green lumber in a series of parallel batch machines (kilns). Drying lumber in-house is less expensive than purchasing commercially kiln-dried lumber. Therefore, the objective is to minimize the sum of the costs of drying lumber in-house and purchasing kiln-dried lumber in order to meet all due-dates plus any inventory carrying costs incurred over the planning horizon. The problem is decomposed into two sub problems: (1) the sequencing of the product types (lumber) on the machines (kilns); and (2) the allocation of inventory to satisfy the demands.

 @inproceedings{joines_houck, title={On the use of non-stationary penalty functions to solve nonlinear constrained optimization problems with GA's}, DOI={10.1109/icec.1994.349995}, abstractNote={We discuss the use of non-stationary penalty functions to solve general nonlinear programming problems (NP) using real-valued GAs. The non-stationary penalty is a function of the generation number; as the number of generations increases so does the penalty. Therefore, as the penalty increases it puts more and more selective pressure on the GA to find a feasible solution. The ideas presented in this paper come from two basic areas: calculus-based nonlinear programming and simulated annealing. The non-stationary penalty methods are tested on four NP test cases and the effectiveness of these methods are reported.<<ETX>>}, booktitle={Proceedings of the First IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation.

We applied WASSP to test problems designed specifically to explore its efficiency and robustness in comparison with ASAP3 and the Heidelberger-Welch algorithm, two sequential procedures based respectively on the methods of nonoverlapping batch means and spectral analysis. Concerning efficiency, WASSP compared favorably with its competitors, often requiring smaller sample sizes to deliver confidence intervals with the same nominal levels of precision and coverage probability. Concerning robustness against the statistical anomalies commonly encountered in simulation studies, WASSP outperformed its competitors, delivering confidence intervals whose actual half-lengths and coverage probabilities were frequently closer to the corresponding user-specified nominal levels.}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 2004 Winter Simulation Conference, 2004.}, publisher={IEEE}, author={Lada, E.K. and Wilson, J.R. and Steiger, N.M. and Joines, J.A.} }

 @inproceedings{steiger_lada_wilson_joines_alexopoulos_goldsman, title={Steady-State Simulation Analysis Using Asap3}, DOI={10.1109/wsc.2004.1371375}, abstractNote={We discuss ASAP3, a refinement of the batch means algorithms ASAP and ASAP2. ASAP3 is a sequential procedure designed to produce a confidence-interval estimator for the expected response of a steady-state simulation that satisfies user-specified precision and coverage-probability requirements. ASAP3 operates as follows: the batch size is increased until the batch means pass the Shapiro-Wilk test for multivariate normality; and then ASAP3 fits a first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) time series model to the batch means. If necessary, the batch size is further increased until the autoregressive parameter in the AR(1) model does not significantly exceed 0.8. Next ASAP3 computes the terms of an inverse Cornish-Fisher expansion for the classical batch means t-ratio based on the AR(1) parameter estimates; and finally ASAP3 delivers a correlation-adjusted confidence interval based on this expansion. ASAP3 compared favorably with other batch means procedures (namely, ABATCH, ASAP, ASAP2, and LBATCH) in an extensive experimental performance evaluation.}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 2004 Winter Simulation Conference, 2004.}, publisher={IEEE}, author={Steiger, N.M. and Lada, E.K. and Wilson, J.R. and Joines, J.A. and Alexopoulos, C. and Goldsman, D.} }

Users interactively build a complete model of a finishing system with an Excel interface, which creates a deterministic model. The spreadsheet de-couples data input from the simulation model construction and execution, and provides a user-friendly tool for analyzing a finishing system. Using the spreadsheet, simulation data is provided to the deterministic model, and an Arena simulation model and animation of individual finishing line operations is constructed through ActiveX automation. A manufacturing manager unfamiliar with modeling techniques can use the interface to plan the finishing system and conduct simulation experiments with various input parameters such as line loading techniques, operations balancing, and line speeds. Through the interface, results from the simulation can be used in an iterative process to analyze and refine design parameters of the finishing line.}, booktitle={Proceeding of the 2001 Winter Simulation Conference (Cat.

 @article{joines_kay, title={Utilizing Hybrid Genetic Algorithms}, DOI={10.1007/0-306-48041-7_8}, abstractNote={Genetic algorithms (GAs) have been shown to be quite effective at solving a wide range of difficult problems. They are very efficient at exploring the entire search space; however, they are relatively poor at finding the precise local optimal solution in the region in which the algorithm converges. Hybrid GAs are the combination of local improvement procedures, which are good at finding local optima, and genetic algorithms. Hybrid GAs have been shown to be quite effective at solving a wide range of problems. How the GA (the global explorer) and the local improvement procedure (the local exploiter) are combined is extremely important with respect to the final solution quality as well as the computational efficiency of the algorithm. Several different combination strategies will be investigated to determine the most effective method. Furthermore, a new adaptive memory technique will be used to enhance these methods.}, journal={Evolutionary Optimization}, publisher={Kluwer Academic Publishers}, author={Joines, Jeffrey A. and Kay, Michael G.}, pages={199–228} }
