SUMMARY:MASc thesis seminar | Yaohan Li: \"Patent Technological Diversity a
 nd\nExamination Outcomes in China\"
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:This study examines how duration of patent examination is affec
 ted by\ntechnological diversity of patent applications\, using a sample of
  all\npharmaceutical patent applications filed between 1985 and 2017 at\nC
 hina’s State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO). Patent\nexamination is
  a crucial process to evaluate the patentability of\ntechnological inventi
 ons. To understand what factors influence patent\nexamination duration can
  offer strategic insights for both patent\napplicants and patent system de
 signers.

SUMMARY:MASc Thesis Seminar | Saravanan Natarajan: \"Optimization & Compari
 son\nof Manual & Semi-Automated Material Handling in Cross-Dock using\nDis
 crete-Event Simulation\"
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:A Cross-Dock (CD) is a synchronized unit of a supply chain netw
 ork\,\nused to sort the goods received from inbound trucks (from a warehou
 se\nor factory)\, and load those products to outbound trucks (for delivery
 \nof the goods to retail stores in the supply chain network). Most\ncross-
 docks use forklifts\, and other manual material handling\nequipment (MHE) 
 to process the goods on pallets received from inbound\ntrucks. Those palle
 ts are sorted and loaded onto outbound trucks.

SUMMARY:MASc Thesis Seminar | Huiwen Zhang: \"A Dual Toll Policy for Regula
 ting\nthe Transportation of Hazardous Materials\"
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The transportation of hazardous materials (hazmat) has drawn\ns
 ignificant attention from various stakeholders due to the undesirable\nimp
 acts on the environment and public health. Focusing on the\nconnection bet
 ween the traffic and the risk associated with the hazmat\nshipments\, the 
 present research aims to assist the regulator in\ndesigning a policy of du
 al tolls\, imposed on both hazmat and\nnon-hazmat shipments\, to mitigate 
 the hazmat risk in a road network.

SUMMARY:MASc Thesis Seminar | Mohammad Alqssem Alzaeem: \"A Lagrangian Appr
 oach\nfor The Airfreight Cosolidation Problem Under Pivot-weight\"
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:International airfreight forwarders are faced with the problem 
 of\nconsolidating shipments for effcient transportation by airline\ncarrie
 rs. The use of standard unit loading devices (ULDs) is a\nsolution adopted
  by the airfreight industry to speed up cargo loading\,\nincrease safety\,
  and protect cargo. We study the airfreight\nconsolidation problem from th
 e forwarders perspective where a decision\non the number of ULDs used and 
 the assignment of shipments to ULDs is\noptimized. The cost of using a ULD
  consists of a fixed charge and\ndepends on the weight of the cargo it con
 tains.

 terloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada
SUMMARY:PhD Defence | Morley Katz: \"A Field Theory of Leadership\"
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Existing leadership theories tend to explain that leaders induc
 e\nothers to follow as a function of one or more of the following:\n\ni) A
  specific set of traits possessed by the leader (e.g.\, charisma)\;\n\nii)
  Different types of behaviours the leader exhibits depending on the\nsitua
 tion (e.g.\, a focus on tasks or a focus on relationships)\;\n\niii) Speci
 fics relating to the structure and dynamics of the\nleader-follower relati
 onship (e.g.\, economic\, social\, or psychological\nexchange\, or a 'cust
 omized' focus on the 'follower').
