Scheduling a project to maximize its net present value: An integer programming approach
(Elsevier, 1993-01-22)
We describe an integer programming algorithm for determining scheduled start and finish times for the activities of a project subject to resource limitations during each period of the schedule duration. The objective is ...
Manufacturing technology policy and deployment of processing innovations
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Scientific Publishing Company ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1988-12)
This is a report of a study on the evolution of manufacturing technology policy during the deployment of domestic advanced manufacturing systems in thirty-four plants and two panels of data collection separated by one year. ...
Current Advances in Mechanical Design and Production

On nonconflicting languages that arise in supervisory control of discrete event systems
(Elsevier, 1991-08)
We study four classes of nonconflicting sublanguages of a given language that arise in supervisory control of discrete event systems. We first present closed-form expressions for the supremal nonconflicting sublanguage and ...
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. ...
Integrated decision support and expert systems in a computer integrated manufacturing environment
(Elsevier, 1990)
In a computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) environment, well planning, control and operational process require both expert knowledge of the area, and powerful decision support capabilities. This paper discusses the ...
Maximum-entropy-type Lyapunov functions for robust stability and performance analysis
(Elsevier, 1993-07)
We present two Lyapunov functions that ensure the unconditional stability and robust performance of a modal system with uncertain damped natural frequency. Each Lyapunov function involves the sum of two matrices, the first ...
Thermal effects in styrene-butadiene rubber at high hydrostatic pressures
(Elsevier, 1986-12)
The temperature changes as a result of rapid hydrostatic pressure applications are reported for unvulcanized styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) in the reference temperature range from 292 to 405 K and in the pressure range ...
