Stochastic hub and spoke networks
… systems most often employ a hub and spoke network structure since correctly designed they give a strong balance between high service quality and low costs resulting in an economically competitive operation. In addition, consumers are increasingly demanding fast and reliable …

Structural performance of spoke wheel roof systems
A spoke wheel roof system consists of tension rings, compression rings, and radial spokes and resists loads mainly through axial forces. Due to its light weight and ability to achieve a column-free, long span, it has been a popular solution to structures such as stadia since its first use in 1960s. …

Electro-Mechanical Interactions in Superconducting Spoke -Loaded Cavities
… properties of a beta = 0.4 double-spoke-loaded and a beta = 0.5 triple-spoke-loaded superconducting cavity at Argonne National Laboratory. These cavities are of interest in new heavy-ion and proton linear accelerators. We present a powerful method for characterizing arbitrary …

Spoke : a framework for building speech-enabled websites
… I describe the design and implementation of Spoke, a JavaScript framework for building interactive speech-enabled web applications. This project was motivated by the need for a consolidated framework for integrating custom speech technologies into website backends to demonstrate their power. …

Development of Superconducting Spoke Cavities for High-Velocity Applications
<p>To date, superconducting spoke cavities have been designed, developed, and tested for particle velocities up to β0 ~ 0.6, but there is a growing interest in possible applications of spoke cavities for high-velocity applications. The first task is to explore the design parameter space for …

Hub and spoke network design for the inbound supply chain
… consolidation strategies within the "Hub and Spoke" distribution framework to provide these benefits. As -65% of total unit volume from the inbound transportation program managed by Amazon is shipped as costly less-than-truckload (LTL) or small-parcel (SP) freight, there are significant …

"In writing it may be spoke": The Politics of Women's Letter-Writing, 1377-1603
Examining significant moments of women's letter-writing from throughout the late medieval and early modern periods, I argue that the epistolary genre enabled fifteenth- and sixteenth-century women to craft representations of themselves on paper that preserved their modesty yet allowed them to …

Cogging torque reduction of 6s-4p spoke-type IPMSM using a new combination of rotor design
… rotor-PM configurations of three-phase 6S-4P Spoke-type (IPMSM). Initially, conventional cogging torque reduction techniques of skewing (Sk), notching (Not), radial pole pairing (Pop), and axial pole pairing (App) were analysed. Then, a new combination such as skewing with pole pairing …

Design, analysis and implementation of a spoke-type motor with high-performance ferrite magnets for electric vehicle applications
… on motor performance. Then, a comparison between spoke-type IPMSM using high-performance ferrite magnets and V-shape IPMSM using rare-earth magnets is made to investigate the cost difference between two motors for the same torque and power output. Finally, different rotor layouts of spoke-type …

Rethinking the hub and spoke airline strategy : an analysis and discussion of American Airline's decision to depeak its schedule at O'Hare International Airport
… continued viability of the traditional hub and spoke airline strategy. The financial success of Southwest Airlines and other low cost carriers is partly attributable to its high levels of employee productivity and equipment utilization. In April 2002, American Airlines made a step toward …

Considerations for and Implementations of Deliberative and Reactive Motion Planning Strategies for the Novel Actuated Rimless Spoke Wheel Robot IMPASS for the Two-Dimensional Sagittal Plane
IMPASS is a novel spoke-wheel robot invented by researchers at the Robotics and Mechanisms Lab (RoMeLa) at Virginia Tech. The robot is driven by a rimless spoke wheel which can alter the length of any given spoke in the hub. This form of novel locomotion combines the efficiency of a wheeled robot …
