Background: Business process management systems (BPM) can automate all processes in an organization. These systems provide the possibility of identifying, modeling, deploying, implementing, function managing, integrating with other information systems, monitoring and improving an organization's business processes in a standard form. As far as the authors know, no related resear...

Process tolerancing based on the process capability studies is the optimistic and pragmatic approach of determining the manufacturing process tolerances. On adopting the define–measure–analyze–improve–control approach, the process potential capability index (C p) and the process performance capability index (C pk) values of identified process characteristics of connecting rod ...

This Essay is an attempt to go back to some of the principles and factors which lay behind the launching of the Uruguay Round and the package which resulted, to look at some of the current unease about the WTO, and to see where the institution may need to go to reassert its role to command fully public and political confidence once again. CONCLUDING THE URUGUAY ROUNDCREATING THE NEW ARCHITECTUR...

Krasol® polybutadiene diols are anionically polymerized products characterized by very narrow molecular weight distribution, linear structure of polymer chains and the absence of species with functionality higher than 0.2. These unique features make them suitable as hydrophobic polyol components for use in thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs). Various TPU formulations were developed using polybut...

In a concurrent functional language processes are functions that are executed concurrently. Using special annotations based on lazy copying arbitrary dependencies between these functions can be used to specify arbitrary networks of processes. The communication and synchronization between the processes is realized using the lazy evaluation principle without any additional communication primitves...
