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 ...
Commentary on taguchi's parameter design with dynamic characteristics
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-03)
Fracture behavior of glass bead filled epoxies: Cleaning process of glass beads
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-02-22)
Inorganic particles are commonly cleaned with solvents such as alcohols before being incorporated into thermoset polymers as fillers or tougheners, but the role of the cleaning process has never been examined. In this ...
Exchange rates and monetary fundamentals: what do we learn from long-horizon regressions?
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1999-09)
The use of a new bootstrap method for small-sample inference in long-horizon regressions is illustrated by analysing the long-horizon predictability of four major exchange rates, and the findings are reconciled with those ...
Non-parametric analysis of optimizing behavior with measurement error
(Elsevier, 1985)
We consider how one might test observed choice data for consistency with optimizing models in the presence of measurement error. We derive an appropriate test statistic and conduct case study involving cost minimization ...
Rheological behavior of solutions of amphiphilic acrylic copolymers in mixed solvents
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-06-13)
A descriptive model was developed, using viscometry and light scattering, that explains the anomalous rheological behavior of solutions of amphiphilic acrylic copolymers upon the addition of water. The rheological behavior ...
Contextualizing instruction: Leveraging students' prior knowledge and experiences to foster understanding of middle school science
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-01)
Contextualizing science instruction involves utilizing students' prior knowledge and everyday experiences as a catalyst for understanding challenging science concepts. This study of two middle school science classrooms ...
Proof loading and structural reliability
(Elsevier, 1984)
Structural reliability depends on uncertainties in resistance and loads. In many practical cases the resistance dominates and a reduction of uncertainty about resistance is an effective way of increasing safety. It can be ...
Alcohol consumption and body weight
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2010-07)
The number of Americans who are overweight or obese has reached epidemic proportions. Elevated weight is associated with health problems and increased medical expenditures. This paper analyzes Waves 1 and 2 of the National ...
DeviceNet reliability assessment using physical and data link layer parameters
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2010-11)
Since the 1990s, the increasing deployments of networked automation systems led to increased manufacturing productivity, improved interchangeability of devices from different vendors, facilitated flexibility and reconfigurability ...
