Editor's note
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997)
We are very excited about this issue of the Journal. It inaugurates a new alliance among the University of Michigan, John Wiley & Sons, and the Society for Human Resource Management. For 34 years, the University of Michigan ...
A synthetic workload for a distributed real-time system
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-07)
In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a synthetic workload (SW) for a distributed real-time system. A SW is a set of parameterized synthetic or artificial programs which serve as the workload for a ...
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 ...
Intrafirm mobility and manufacturing modernization
(Elsevier, 1990-05)
In this article a general model of personnel flows and the innovation process is introduced. Part of this model is tested with data from domestic plant modernization projects. This model suggests that during the initiation ...
Algorithms for a class of single-machine weighted tardiness and earliness problems
(Elsevier, 1991-05-27)
We address the problem of determining schedules for static, single-machine scheduling problems where the objective is to minimize the sum of weighted tardiness and weighted earliness. We develop optimal and heuristic ...
Toward a formal theory of model integration
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-11)
The aim of this paper is to provide the first steps toward a formal theory of model integration. This is supported at least by three arguments: (a) increasing the productivity of the modeling work; (b) decreasing errors; ...
Noise smoothing for VR equipment in quaternions
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-07)
Smooth motion generation is an important issue in the computer animation and virtual reality (VR) area. In general, the motion of a rigid body consists of translation and orientation. The former is described by a space ...
The toughening of polyamide-6 by brominated poly(isobutylene-co-p-methylstyrene): fracture and toughening mechanisms
(Elsevier, 1993-11)
A study on the toughening of polyamide-6 (PA-6) with a new elastomeric modifier, brominated poly(isobutylene-co-p-methylstyrene) (BrXP-50), was conducted. Morphological analyses and mechanical tests were combined to evaluate ...
The disturbance decoupling problem with measurement feedback and stability for systems with direct feedthrough matrices
(Elsevier, 1991-09)
In this paper the known geometric results on the disturbance decoupling problem with measurement feedback and internal stability (DDPMS) are extended to include non-zero direct feedthrough matrices. Necessary and sufficient ...
The determinants of divalent/monovalent selectivity in anion exchangers
(Elsevier, 1983-04)
This research demonstrates that it is the distance of fixed-charge separation in the resin which is the primary determinant of divalent/monovalent selectivity. Anion resins, particularly acrylics and epoxies, with closely ...
