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 ...
Random coil dimensions of poly(diethyl siloxane)
(Elsevier, 1978-04)
A sample of high molecular weight poly(diethyl siloxane), [Si(C2H5)2---O---]x, (PDES) was separated into a series of fractions by means of liquid-liquid precipitations. Four of the fractions were studied by osmometry and ...
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 ...
Computational behavior of a feasible direction method for linear programming
(Elsevier, 1989-06-15)
We discuss a finite method of feasible directions for linear programs. The method begins with a BFS (basic feasible solution) and constructs a profitable direction by combining the updated columns of several nonbasic ...
Temperature and concentration dependence of diffusion coefficient in dilute solutions
(Elsevier, 1981-09)
Temperature and molecular weight dependence of kD in D(C) = D(O) [1 + CkD], where D(C) is the diffusion coefficient for the density fluctuations in a dilute polymer solution, is investigated by first expressing D(C) as a ...
Supervisory adaptive control for the structural vibration of a coordinate-measuring machine
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1996-07)
A supervisory adaptive control approach has been developed for a structural vibration control of a coordinate measuring machine, which is a dynamic system with time varying system model order and parameters. An on-line ...
An aspiration-level interactive model for multiple criteria decision making
(Elsevier, 1992-10)
A simple, eclectic approach for solving discrete alternative multiple criteria decision problems is presented. It is based on the concept of the level of aspiration, and draws on ideas of various researchers. It assumes ...
modeling for CIM information systems architecture definition: An information engineering case study
(Elsevier, 1992)
Many fundamental problems exist in the development and implementation of computer-integrated manufacturing information systems: for example, lack of integration, islands of automation, sub-optimization of resources, inability ...
