Efficient approaches for furnace loading of cylindrical parts
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2014)
This paper addresses the heat treatment operation in a manufacturing plant that produces different types of cylindrical parts. The immediate prior process to heat treatment is furnace-loading where parts are loaded into ...
Polymer/carbon nanotube composite film formation: A fluorescence study
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
In this study the effect of multi-walled Carbon nanotube (MWNT) on film formation behavior of Polystrene (PS) latex film was investigated by using steady state fluorescence technique. Films were prepared by mixing of pyrene ...
Calculating Level Densities of Heavy Nuclei by the Shell Model Monte Carlo Method
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2014)
The microscopic calculation of nuclear level densities in the presence of correlations is a difficult many-body problem. The shell model Monte Carlo method provides a powerful technique to carry out such calculations using ...
Markov-modulated analysis of a spare parts system with random lead times and disruption risks
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018)
Spare parts supply chains are highly dependent on the dynamics of their installed bases. A decreasing number of capital products in use increases the nonstationary supply-side risk especially towards the end-of-life of ...
Percolation of glassy regions during photopolymerization of epoxy acrylate in DMF
(Elsevier Science SA, 2015)
The gelation of epoxy acrylate (EA) 80% and tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA) 20% was studied through the use of photo-differential scanning calorimetric (photo-DSC) technique in the presence of a thioxanthone based ...
Simple outage probability bound for two-way relay networks with joint antenna and relay selection over Nakagami-m fading channels
(Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2015)
The performance of a multiple-input multiple-output amplify-and-forward two-way relay network with joint antenna and relay selection is analysed over Nakagami-m fading channels. Both approximate and asymptotic system outage ...
A Reliable Successive Relaying Protocol
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2014)
Successive relaying has recently emerged as an effective technique for cooperative networks and provides significant improvements in bandwidth efficiency over traditional relaying techniques ;however to achieve full-diversity ...
Supplier Selection for Framework Agreements in Humanitarian Relief
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
In this study we consider the supplier selection problem of a relief organization that wants to establish framework agreements (FAs) with a number of suppliers to ensure quick and cost-effective procurement of relief ...
Effect of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) on the behavior of swelling of polyacrylamide-MWNT composites
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2014)
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of multiwalled carbon nanotube in the swelling of polyacrylamide-multiwalled carbon nanotube composites. Swelling experiments were performed in water at various temperatures ...
New Infinite Families of 2-Edge-Balanced Graphs
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
A graph G of order n is called t-edge-balanced if G satisfies the property that there exists a positive for which every graph of order n and size t is contained in exactly distinct subgraphs of Kn isomorphic to G. We call ...
