Optimal location of cross-docking centers for a distribution network in Argentina
… optimal distribution network for Argentina using Cross Docking Centers. The products to be delivered are in a Central Warehouse in Buenos Aires, the main city and port of Argentina. These products have to be distributed to hundreds of locations in the interior of the country. These locations have …

Cross-Docking: A Proven LTL Technique to Help Suppliers Minimize Products' Unit Costs Delivered to the Final Customers
… total transportation costs (TTC) and total cross-docking operating cost (TCDC). The full-truckload (FT) transportation mode is assumed to handle supplier→customer product transportation; otherwise, a cross-docking terminal as an intermediate transshipment node is hired to handle the …

Optimization Models for Locating Cross-docks under Capacity Uncertainty
… is to develop mathematical models for locating cross-docks in a supply chain. Cross-docking is a strategy which can help consolidate the goods in the supply chain and save costs by reducing the number of truck trips. In this thesis four optimization models were developed. First two optimization …

Accurate Docking is Achieved by Decoupling Systematic Sampling from Scoring
… focuses on the development of a small molecule docking program, SKATE, for drug discovery. The second project focuses on the critical analysis of the thermal stability of a mini-protein, FSD-1. SKATE is a novel approach to small molecule docking. It removes any inter-dependence between sampling …

Feasibility study for the implementation of a logistics network for distribution of dry food to low income people
… supply and demand using the Internet and a "cross-docking" system. Chile was chosen to evaluate the feasibility of a pilot project to test the model, in particular the capital city of Santiago and southern regions of the country. Results show that the proposed model is economically and …

Exploring Protein-Ligand Interaction with Rotamer-Library Based Refinement Tools
… rank protein-ligand binding poses from apo and cross-docking test sets. The systematic optimization in this algorithm allows all-atom force fields to approach and in some cases exceed the accuracy of empirical scoring functions for protein-ligand interactions. A second algorithm uses a …

Defining Novel Clusters of PPAR gamma Partial Agonists for Virtual Screening
… techniques, like virtual screening, molecular docking, and pharmacophore modeling, allow us to determine and characterize markers of varying levels of agonism. An extensive search of the RCSB Protein Data Bank found 62 structures of PPARγ resolved with partial agonists. Cross-docking was …

Analysis and Improvement of Cross-dock Operations in Less-than-Truckload Freight Transportation Industry
… to transfer freight. A hub is typically a cross docking terminal in which shipments from inbound trailers are unloaded and reassigned and consolidated onto outbound trailers going to the correct destinations. Freight handling in a hub is labor intensive, and workers must quickly transfer …

Improving the Efficiency of Hub Operations in a Less-than-Truckload Distribution Network
The less-than-truckload (LTL) industry is highly competitive, with recent average profit margins less than 3%. LTL shipments are routed through a network of service centers and hubs. The performance of the entire LTL distribution network is highly dependent on the speed and accuracy of the hub …
