In its attempt to sustain the growth expectations in an increasingly competitive market, Intel Corporation has invested in a number of new products and services, which differ significantly from its core semiconductor ...

This study examines the influence of a stationary cylinder that is placed in proximity to a flexibly mounted cylinder in the side-by-side arrangement. The problem is investigated with an immersed-boundary formulation of a ...

Between 2002 and 2011 a single mooring was maintained in the core of the Pacific Water boundary current in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea near 152° W. Using velocity and hydrographic data from six year-long deployments during ...

Protein-surfactant mixtures appear in many industrial and biological applications. Indeed, a fluid as vital as blood contains a mixture of serum albumin proteins with various other smaller surface-active components. Proteins ...

This thesis addresses issues in manufacturing that lead to cell DC internal resistance (DCIR) variance, provides an overview of generally accepted cell degradation mechanisms and modeling techniques associated with IR as ...

A significant advance in modeling the plastic deformation of amorphous polymers has been made by Parks, Argon, Boyce, Arruda, and their co-workers (e.g. Parks, Argon, & Bagepalli, 1985; Boyce, Parks, & Argon, 1998; Arruda ...

In an increasingly competitive consumer products market, companies are striving to create organizations, processes, and tools to reduce the product development cycle time. As product development teams strive to develop ...

Production systems such as the CONWIP (constant work-in-process) pull production system have been widely studied by researchers to date. The CONWIP pull production system is an alternative to pure push and pure pull systems ...
