Critical analysis of the graphical determination of hansen's solubility parameters for lightly crosslinked polymers
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-12-19)
The most widely accepted method for determining Hansen's three-dimensional solubility parameters (3DSP) for crosslinked polymers entails graphically estimating the center of a spherical region in 3DSP-coordinate space whose ...
Methane to methanol in supercritical water
(Elsevier, 1994-06)
We examined the feasibility of producing methanol from the partial oxidation of methane in near-critical and supercritical water. Oxygen was always the limiting reactant. The parameter space investigated experimentally ...
Heuristics for minimizing tool switches when scheduling part types on a flexible machine
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-08)
This article considers a tool loading problem whose objective is to minimize the number of tool switches over time in order to process several parts on a flexible machine. New heuristics are presented and compared. Some ...
Research on dust explosions at the University of Michigan
(Elsevier, 1992-08)
Dust explosion research carried out at the University of Michigan during the last two decades has been summarized. Significant results are presented on the smoldering combustion of dust heaps, turbulent combustion of ...
Integrated design of run-to-run PID controller and SPC monitoring for process disturbance rejection
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-05)
An integrated design methodology has been developed for a run-to-run PID controller and SPC monitoring for the purpose of process disturbance rejection. In the paper, the process disturbance is assumed to be an ARMA (1,1) ...
The GLRT for statistical process control of autocorrelated processes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-12)
This paper presents an on-line Statistical Process Control (SPC) technique, based on a Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT), for detecting and estimating mean shifts in autocorrelated processes that follow a normally ...
Phase transformations of a liquid crystalline epoxy during curing
(Elsevier, 1994-06)
The phase transformations of a novel liquid crystalline epoxy, diglycidyl ether of 4,4'-dihydroxy-[alpha]-methylstilbene (DGEDHMS), from isotropic phase to liquid crystalline phase during curing have been studied using a ...
Economic incentives in software design
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-11)
I examine the incentives for software providers to design appropriate user interfaces. There are two sorts of costs involved when one uses software: the fixed cost of learning to use a piece of software and the variable ...
The effects of excise taxes and regulations on cigarette smoking
(Elsevier, 1991-05)
We estimate a generalized linear model to examine adult and teenage cigarette demand. Our analysis focuses on the extent to which exice taxes and regulations restricting smoking in public places affect cigarette consumption. ...
Interpretation of dynamic scattering experiments on ternary polymer mixtures
(Elsevier, 1992)
The dynamics of a ternary polymer mixture consisting of either homopolymers A and B, or diblock copolymers A-B, in a matrix of homopolymers C, is studied using the random phase approximation and assuming incompressibility. ...
