Profit-based FMS dynamic part type selection over time for mid-term production planning
(Elsevier, 1992-11-25)
The dynamic part type selection problem for mid-term scheduling to maximize profit over time in a general flexible manufacturing system is considered. Some mathematical programming models are developed to address this ...
Toward a theory of honesty and trust among communicating autonomous agents
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-09)
This article outlines, through a number of examples, a method that can be used by autonomous agents to decide among potential messages to send to other agents, without having to assume that a message must be truthful and ...
A comprehensive error compensation system for correcting geometric, thermal, and cutting force-induced errors
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1997-10)
A comprehensive error compensation system has been developed to correct geometric, thermal, and cutting force-induced errors on a turning centre. The basic approach to error compensation is proposed in this paper. The ...

Crosslinking chemistry for high-performance polymer networks
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
A new thermally reactive monomer has been designed and synthesized that brings novel crosslinking chemistry to high-performance polymers. This monomer (XTA) is a derivative of terephthalic acid and was based on the thermal ...
Determination of the electro-optical coefficient r33 and refractive index of para-substituted poly([gamma]-benzyl--glutamate) derivatives
(Elsevier, 1994-01)
The electro-optical coefficient r33 and refractive index of films of poly([gamma]-benzyl--glutamate) and the p-nitro, p-fluoro and p-trifluoromethyl derivatives were determined as a way to assess the non-linear optical ...
Firm and industry as determinants of executive perceptions of the environment
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-08)
This study examines variation in top executives’ environmental perceptions within firms and within industries. More specifically, we investigate how industry and organizational membership affect top executives’ perceptions ...
Parallel decomposition of large-scale stochastic nonlinear programs
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
Many practical decision problems involve both nonlinear relationships and uncertainties. The resulting stochastic nonlinear programs become quite difficult to solve as the number of possible scenarios increases. In this ...
