HIGHLY-PRODUCTIVE ADC WITH COMBINED BALANCING

Highly productive sown biodiverse pastures with low invasion risk.

Driscoll et al. (1) have recently drawn attention to the risk of new pasture plants becoming invasive, because the same biological traits that promote pasture productivity may also facilitate the invasion of natural areas. The authors indicate some aspects that could mitigate the risk of invasion: namely, the use of native species to develop new pasture plants, the avoidance of new characterist...

Efficient, Highly Productive Hydrogen Production from Glucose

Our long term objective is to develop efficient and cost-effective technology for the production of hydrogen from glucose, xylose, and other cellulosic hydrolysis products. We will use cell-free technology to provide precise control over metabolic fluxes while minimizing the toxic effects of cellulosic byproducts. Initial process calculations suggest the potential for high conversion efficienci...

A procedure for highly reproducible measurements of ADC spectral parameters

The evaluation of spectral parameters characterizing analog–to–digital converters (ADC) is addressed by applying a single or dual tone generator to the device input and by properly processing its output data stream. The coherent sampling condition, highly recommended by the IEEE standards 1057 and 1241 which list the most effective ADC testing procedures, is usually difficult to achieve, and so...

Highly Productive and Reconfigurable Manufacturing System Final Report

Transfer Line Balancing by a Combined Approach

A balancing problem for transfer lines with workstations in series and simultaneously executed blocks of operations is considered. Inclusion constraints related to operations and exclusion constraints with regard to blocks as well as precedence constraints are given. The problem is to choose blocks from a given set and to assign them to workstations while minimizing the line cost and satisfying...
