We address the problem of lot splitting for various time bucket lengths in MRP systems. Two approaches for lot splitting can be applied: either use the same (equal) or a variable number of subbatches. Equal subbatching strategies have logistical and computational advantages. Literature states that variable batching strategies are only marginal better. However, these results do not take into acc...

Hardware has been built and software written and incorporated in the existing SLC accelerator control system to control injection of beam pulses from the accelerator into the PEP-II storage rings currently under construction. Hardware includes a CAMAC module to delay the machine timing fiducial in order that a beam pulse extracted from a damping ring will be injected into a selected group of fo...

Probabilistic inference algorithms for belief updating, nding the most probable explanation, the maximum a posteriori hypothesis, and the maximum expected utility are reformulated within the bucket elimination framework. This emphasizes the principles common to many of the algorithms appearing in the probabilistic inference literature and clariies the relationship of such algorithms to nonseria...

The objective of this study was to estimate the silky cane weevil rate of dispersal under near-natural conditions inside a screened enclosure where an array of buckets was baited with cut sugarcane stalks. One hundred weevils were released and weevils inside the buckets were counted hourly for 8 h, and then 24 and 48 h after release. A passive diffusion model was used to estimate the weevil’s d...

On-line traffic, such as conversational call, live video, serves a large group of applications in the internet now days. An important feature of on-line traffic is that they are not pre-recorded and no exact information about each session’s traffic is known before the traffic happens. S-BIND (Confidence-levelbased Statistical Bounding Interval-length Dependent) traffic model was proposed to cha...

We model the trapping of plasma e− within the density structures excited by a propagating energy source (βS ' 1) in a rising plasma density gradient. Rising density gradient leads to spatially contiguous coupled up-chirped plasmons (dωpe (x)/dx > 0). Therefore phase mixing between plasmons can lead to trapping until the plasmon field is high enough such that e− trajectories returning towards a ...

The government Program Pemanfaatan Lahan (P2L) aims to appeal communities utilize yards intensively with local resources ensuring household food security. problem occurring in Dompyong Village, Trenggalek Regency is the lack of community activity utilizing their due knowledge and skills. Furthermore, as a highland area, Village also experiences availability water sources. Therefore, this servic...

Maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a polyphagous storage pest in many crops of economic and food security importance. Its management currently relies mainly on synthetic chemical pesticides. However, plant botanicals are known to exhibit insecticidal properties which can be used manage the weevil stored dry sweet potatoes. To study effect neem eucalyptus...
