Expected move request waiting times in single-device, polling-based material handling systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-01)
We present an analytical approach to approximate the expected waiting times of move requests (customers) served by a single handling device (server) that operates according to the First-Encountered-First-Served (FEFS) rule, ...
MMA bulk polymerization and its influence on in situ resin viscosity comparing several chemorheological models
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2011-05-05)
Earlier published rheological data of methyl methacrylate (MMA) heated and isothermally polymerized at temperatures between 50 and 80°C have been reanalyzed using three semiempirical models of viscosity advancement including ...
Communicating Negative Hire Decisions to Applicants: Fulfilling Psychological Contracts
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Human Sciences Press, Inc. ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-12)
This study demonstrates that characteristics of rejection letters combine in a complex manner to affect impressions of the organization, and likelihood of re-applying to and of patronizing the organization. Specifically, ...
Efficient registration for precision inspection of free-form surfaces
(Springer Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 2006-03-18)
Precision inspection of free-form surface is difficult with current industry practices that rely on accurate fixtures. Alternatively, the measurements can be aligned to the part model using a geometry-based registration ...
Mechanical properties of polyurethane/montmorillonite nanocomposite prepared by melt mixing
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-10-05)
Nanocomposites from polyurethane (PU) and montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared under melt-mixing condition, by a twin screw extruder along with a compatibilizer to enhance dispersion of MMT. MMT used in this study was ...
The State of the HR Profession
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2013-05)
We want to create a new narrative about the human resource (HR) profession. HR professionals have often been plagued with self‐doubts, repeatedly re‐exploring HR's role, value, and competencies. If HR is to fully (and ...
Performance characteristics of a new prototype for a portable GC using ambient air as carrier gas for on-site analysis
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2007-05)
The performance characteristics of a portable GC instrument requiring no compressed gas supplies and using relatively lightweight transportable components for the analysis of volatile organic components in large-volume air ...
Back to basics: Learning about employee energy and motivation from running on my treadmill
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005)
In an effort to understand how to optimize employee energy at work, we borrow from the sports physiology literature to develop and test several concepts that have now been used in more than 75 large and small organizations ...
Matching preclusion and conditional matching preclusion for bipartite interconnection networks I: Sufficient conditions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2012-07)
The matching preclusion number of a graph is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has neither perfect matchings nor almost‐perfect matchings. For many interconnection networks, the optimal ...
Matching preclusion and conditional matching preclusion for bipartite interconnection networks II: Cayley graphs generated by transposition trees and hyper‐stars
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2012-07)
The matching preclusion number of a graph with an even number of vertices is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has no perfect matchings. For many interconnection networks, the optimal sets ...
