Structural and mechanical behavior of layered zirconium phosphonate as a distributed phase in polycaprolactone
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-10-15)
Mixed-surface octyl/methoxyundecyl Α-zirconium phosphonates (ZrPs) were investigated as distributed nanoscale fillers, in concentrations up to 50% w/w, for the purpose of increasing the elastic modulus and yield strength ...
Trade-Off Analysis of Real-Time Control Performance and Schedulability*
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-11)
Most real-time computer-controlled systems are developed in two separate stages: controller design followed by its digital implementation. Computational tasks that implement the control algorithms are usually scheduled by ...
System Design and Implementation of a National Image Registry for Orthopaedic Oncology Image Management, Research and Teaching
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-12)
Orthopaedic oncology is highly dependent on imaging studies to diagnose and treat patients. However, many types of bone tumors are rare creating a lack of teaching and research cases. We have developed a system to locally ...
Protocols for automated negotiations with buyer anonymity and seller reputations
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-03)
In many Internet commerce applications buyers can easily achieve anonymity, limiting what a seller can learn about any buyer individually. However, because sellers need to keep a fixed web address, buyers can probe them ...
Production variability in manufacturing systems: Bernoulli reliability case
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-01)
The problem of production variability in serial manufacturing lines with unreliable machines is addressed. Bernoulli statistics of machine reliability are assumed. Three problems are considered: the problem of production ...
Finite element modeling of 3D turning of titanium
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-09-14)
The finite element modeling and experimental validation of 3D turning of grade two commercially pure titanium are presented. The Third Wave AdvantEdge machining simulation software is applied for the finite element modeling. ...
The effect of fiber orientation on the toughening of short fiber-reinforced polymers
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-12-05)
The effect of fiber orientation on the toughening of polymers by short glass fibers generally below their critical length was investigated using specimens with either well-aligned or randomly oriented fibers. The fibers ...
Higher knowledge for higher aspirations
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005)
With escalating expectations and opportunities for HR professionals to add greater value comes the mandate for greater knowledge about the fundamental driving forces of business. Business leaders and employees increasingly ...
Effects of surface modification, carbon nanofiber concentration, and dispersion time on the mechanical properties of carbon-nanofiber–polycarbonate composites
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-03-15)
The time effect of ultrasonication was investigated for dispersing carbon nanofibers (CNFs) into a polycarbonate (PC) matrix on the mechanical properties of thus-produced composites. The effects of CNF surface modification ...
At-column heating and a resistively heated, liquid-cooled thermal modulator for a low-resource bench-top GC×GC
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2006-05)
A transportable GC×GC instrument is under development for on-site applications that would benefit from the enhanced resolution and powers of detection, which can be achieved by this method. In the present study, a low-resource ...
