The chapter describes the modeling of a material handling system with the production of individual units in a scheduled order. The units represent the agents in the model and are transported in the system which is abstracted as a directed graph. Since the hindrances of units on their path to the destination can lead to inefficiencies in the production, the blockages of units are to be reduced. ...

This article is the third in a series of four articles scheduled for publication in this journal. In the first article (Kapustin, 2015a) I proposed a description of a new so-called existential criterion of normal and abnormal personality that is implicitly present in the works of Erich Fromm. According to this criterion, normal and abnormal personalities are determined, first, by special featur...

The panel aimed at providing the United Nations with a first direct impression of the political support that currently exists at the parliamentary level or that may be mobilized in future for innovative sources of development financing. It took place in the wake of a resolution that the IPU adopted at its 112th Assembly in Manila last April, which concluded inter alia with an expression of supp...

This paper investigates the productivity prediction for aircraft final assembly lines. Various approaches are proposed and performance of each approach is compared discussed. The predictive models established in this can be divided into three groups. first group a simulation model, built by practitioners with extensive insights plant layout, material handling, manufacturing process resource all...

When people selectively forget feedback that threatens the self (mnemic neglect), are those memories permanently lost or potentially recoverable? In two experiments, participants processed feedback pertaining either to themselves or to another person. Feedback consisted of a mixture of positive and negative behaviors exemplifying traits that were both central and peripheral to participants’ sel...

In examining the structural characteristics of the different parts of a decelerator, the general rules of 3D part modeling are summarized, a three-dimensional model of a gear bracket is established, and all marshaled parts are generated into the whole parts assembly by considering the assembly relations and hierarchical relations of the parts. Then the reducer assembly path is sketched out, the...

In this paper, we present a new scalable algorithm, called the Regular Schedule, for parallel evaluation of band linear recurrences (BLR's, i.e., mth-order linear recurrences for m 1). Its scalability and simplicity make it well suited for vector supercomputers and massively parallel computers. We describe our implementation of the Regular Schedule on two types of machines: the Convex C240 and ...

Background: A Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) facility, based on a DT neutron generator, with the final goal to find out a potential, alternative, solution to existing BNCT treatment facilities which are based on nuclear reactors is examined. Materials and Methods: With the aim of the MCNP4B Monte Carlo code different beam-shaping assembly (BSA) configurations were considered. Lead was sel...
