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 ...
Modeling and analysis of multi‐stage transfer lines with unreliable machines and finite buffers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-01)
This paper models and analyzes multi‐stage transfer lines with unreliable machines and finite buffers. The machines have exponential operation, failure, and repair processes. First, a mixed vector–scalar Markov process ...
A Finite Algorithm for Solving Infinite Dimensional Optimization Problems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-01)
We consider the general optimization problem ( P ) of selecting a continuous function x over a σ-compact Hausdorff space T to a metric space A , from a feasible region X of such functions, so as to minimize a functional c ...
Cognitive skills and their transfer: Discussion
(Elsevier, 1987)
Transfer is involved in all learning, remembering, problem solving and cognitive activities. Thus we need to think of dimensions and extent of transfer rather than simply consider transfer versus non-transfer. Moreover, ...
The reversal of the relation between economic growth and health progress: Sweden in the 19th and 20th centuries
(2007-10)
Health progress, as measured by the decline in mortality rates and the increase in life expectancy, is usually
conceived as related to economic growth, especially in the long run. In this investigation it is shown ...
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 ...
Knowledge Integration in Science Teaching: Analysing Teachers' Knowledge Development
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-03)
This paper tests the utility of a new sociocognitive frame for analysing the development of teachers' knowledge – the knowledge integration perspective (Linn, Eylon, & Davis, in press; Linn & Hsi, 2000). In doing so, the ...
