We consider a multiobjective optimization model that determines components and processes for given conceptual designs of printed circuit board assemblies. Speci cally, our model outputs a set of solutions that are Pareto optimal with respect to a cost and a quality metric. The discussion here broadly outlines an integer programming based solution strategy, and represents in-progress work being ...

BACKGROUND Hospitals and regional health authorities must set priorities in the face of resource constraints. Decision-makers seek practical ways to set priorities fairly in strategic planning, but find limited guidance from the literature. Very little has been reported from the perspective of Board members and senior managers about what criteria, processes and parameters of success they would ...

long-term ingestion of large amounts of fluoride can lead to potentially severe skeletal problems and neurological consequences. the study was conducted to assess and compare intelligence quotient of children living in high and low fluoride areas in kutch, gujarat, india.a cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted among 100 school children aged 8 to 10 years, living in kutch district, gu...

this study was performed during the abatement of two asbestos-containing materials (acm):baumlite board (cement flat board) and ceiling textile. the concentrations of total dust for personal sampling were 0.28 and 1.70 mg/m3 during baumlite board and ceiling textile abatements, respectively, when calculated with 8-hr time-weighted average (twa). the geometric mean (gm) asbestos concentrations w...

effects were studied of 200 ppm silver and copper nano-suspensions, with size range from 20 to 80 nm, on the hardness of particleboards produced at an industrial scale at the iran-choob factory, iran. metal nano-suspensions were added to the mat at two levels of 100 and 150 milli-liters/kg dry weight wood particles, and the results were compared with those of the control panels. results showed ...
