A reexamination of the distance-based facility layout problem
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-07)
In this paper we qualitatively and numerically compare basic modeling approaches to the distance-based facility layout problem and the types of result obtained from them. In the process we observe that when the facility ...
Improved methods for the determination of hansen's solubility parameters and the estimation of solvent uptake for lightly crosslinked polymers
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-12-19)
Two new methods for determining Hansen's three-dimensional solubility parameters (3DSP) for lightly crosslinked polymers are presented and evaluated using commercial glove materials composed of butyl, natural, nitrile, and ...
Microstructural deformation behaviour in polystyrene-based compatible polymer blend systems
(Elsevier, 1994-05)
Microstructural deformation behaviour in polystyrene-based compatible polymer blend systems was studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and microdensitometry. Four different binary compatible blend systems ...
An incentive approach to physician implementation of medical practice guidelines
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1997-09)
We propose a probabilistically based incentive payment system for guideline implementation that provides rewards for physicians who follow practice guidelines and additional remuneration for physician leaders who engage ...
Current Advances in Mechanical Design and Production
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-09)
Toughening mechanisms in thermoplastic-modified epoxies: 1. Modification using poly(phenylene oxide)
(Elsevier, 1993-09)
An epoxy based on the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) has been modified with poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) and cured with piperidine. A two-phase alloy resulted, in which the DGEBA epoxy was the continuous phase. ...
Optimal experimental design for combinatorial problems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-08)
We discuss two experimental designs and show how to use them to evaluate difficult empirical combinatorial problems. We restrict our analysis here to the knapsack problem but comment more generally on the use of computational ...
Goodness-of-fit in optimizing models
(Elsevier, 1990)
Conventional econometric tests of optimizing models typically involve embedding the optimizing model in a parametric specification and then examining the parametric restrictions imposed by the optimization hypothesis. The ...
Fatigue craze initiation in polycarbonate: study by transmission electron microscopy
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
Fatigue craze initiation in bulk, amorphous polycarbonate (PC) is investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy. The results agree very well with small angle X-ray scattering measurements of the same set of ...
Three-dimensional solubility parameters and chemical protective clothing permeation. I. Modeling the solubility of organic solvents in Viton® golves
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1993-10-15)
A model based on the polymer solution theory of Flory and Rehner is presented for estimating the solubility of organic solvents in chemical protective clothing (CPC) polymers using three-dimensional (3-D) solubility ...
