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 ...
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 ...

Computational experience with a backtracking algorithm for solving a general class of precedence and resource-constrained scheduling problems
(Elsevier, 1990-11-06)
In this paper computational results are presented with a very general, yet powerful backtracking procedure for solving the duration minimization and net present value maximization problems in a precedence and resource-constrained ...
A simple proof of a primal affine scaling method
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
In this paper, we present a simpler proof of the result of Tsuchiya and Muramatsu on the convergence of the primal affine scaling method. We show that the primal sequence generated by the method converges to the interior ...

Stochastic scheduling of parallel queues with set-up costs
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-12)
We consider the problem of allocating a single server to a system of queues with Poisson arrivals. Each queue represents a class of jobs and possesses a holding cost rate, general service distribution, and a set-up cost. ...
Analysis of the volatile combustion products of vinyl plastics
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1969-02)
The extensive use of plastics for insulation and building materials has created interest in the possible toxicity of their combustion products. Three poly(vinyl chloride) homopolymers, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate ...
An overview of lexicographic choice under uncertainty
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Scientific Publishing Company ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-12)
This overview focuses on lexicographic choice under conditions of uncertainty. First, lexicographic versions of traditional (von Neumann-Morgenstern) expected utility theory are described where the usual Archimedean axiom ...
One-dimensional cutting stock decisions for rolls with multiple quality grades
(Elsevier, 1990-01-25)
This paper presents a procedure for solving one-dimensional cutting stock problems when both the master rolls and customer orders have multiple quality gradations.The procedure described here is a two-stage sequential ...
