An investigation of the maximum experimental safe gap anomaly
(Elsevier, 1979)
The "safe gap" is defined as the maximum gap between two close-fitting, flat, machined metal surfaces that will just prevent an explosion within a vessel from producing a propagating combustion wave in the gases that ...
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 ...
On the dynamic structure factor, S(q,[omega]), of polymers in dilute solution
(Elsevier, 1981-08)
In principle, interpretation of dynamic scattering experiments requires theoretical calculation of either intermediate scattering functions S(q,t) or dynamic structure factors S(q,[omega]). Although dynamic scattering ...
Perceptions of Women and Men Leaders Following 360‐Degree Feedback Evaluations
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2013)
In this study, researchers used a customized 360‐degree method to examine the frequency with which 1,546 men and 721 women leaders perceived themselves and were perceived by colleagues as using 10 relational and 10 ...
A robust design in hardfacing using a plasma transfer arc
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-02)
This paper presents the use of the Taguchi-regression method in developing the optimal plasma transferred arc welding (PTAW) process for obtaining high hardfacing quality characteristics. An “optimal” process means that ...
