Software Process Models and Project Performance
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-10)
In this paper we review the progress in software process research and the role of process improvement in enhancing business outcomes of software projects. We first describe the process view of software development. Next, ...
Positronium formation in semicrystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate)
(Elsevier, 1994-01)
The probability of positronium (Ps) formation in semicrystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), has been investigated by means of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (p.a.l.s.). The p.a.l.s. data are correlated ...
Pricing Options On Risky Assets In A Stochastic Interest Rate Economy 1
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1992-10)
Production planning for flexible flow systems with limited machine flexibility
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-07)
A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is highly capital-intensive and FMS users are concerned with achieving high system utilization. The production planning function for setting up an FMS prior to production should be ...
CONVERGENCE OF AMERICAN OPTION VALUES FROM DISCRETE- TO CONTINUOUS-TIME FINANCIAL MODELS 1
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1994-10)
Base-stock control for single-product tandem make-to-stock systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
In this paper, we consider a multiple-stage tandem production/inventory system producing a single product. Processing time at each stage is assumed to have a general stationary processing time distribution. The cost of ...
Mechanical properties of in situ composites based on polycarbonate and a liquid crystalline polymer
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
The mechanical properties of in situ composites based on blends of polycarbonate and a liquid crystalline copoly(ester amide) (Vectra B950) have been studied as functions of the liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) concentration ...
Toughening mechanisms in core-shell rubber modified polycarbonate
(Elsevier, 1990-12)
We have conducted a study of toughening mechanisms in rubber modified polycarbonate systems in order to evaluate the sequence of deformation events which improve fracture toughness. We conclude that cavitation of the rubber ...
Rate and temperature effects on the fracture toughness of a rubber-modified epoxy
(Elsevier, 1993-04)
A series of three-point bend fracture toughness tests was performed at various loading rates and temperatures on both rubber-modified and unmodified epoxy specimens. The fracture toughness of the modified samples was ...
The Path Integral Approach to Financial Modeling and Options Pricing
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-04)
In this paper we review some applications of the path integral methodology of quantum mechanics to financial modeling and options pricing. A path integral is defined as a limit of the sequence of finite-dimensional integrals, ...
