from CRF to the schedule (12). Accordingly, it is not BSR per se that makes schedule control difficult, but its property of being applied in the last link of a one-link chain. Other applied reinforcers pose similar problems in rats and ducklings (13) as well as humans (14). Carlisle (15) found that rats pressing to turn on a heat lamp reinforcer in a cold chamber performed well on a CRF schedul...

background; work-related musculoskeletal disorders (wmsds) may involve all parts of the body, and have been a worldwide problem. employed women are two to five times more likely to report such problems, and assembly lines suspected to induce more wmsds because of high rate of repetitive motions. methods;the aim of this study to determine the prevalence of wmsds in women workers of an automobile...

The strategic pricing decisions of assembly products in assembly products supply chain are studied in this paper. Firstly, a two-stage assembly products supply chain model is developed. By building Nash game model, the Nash equilibrium solution of pricing strategy of supplier and assemblers is obtained. Next, a union decision model is built to analyze the optimal combination pricing strategy of...

Amyloid-β (Aβ) self-assembly into cross-β amyloidfibrils is implicated in a causative role in Alzheimer’s disease pathology.Uncertainties persist regarding the mechanisms of amyloid self assembly and the role of metastable prefibrillar aggregates. Aβ fibrilsfeature a sheet-turn-sheet motif in the constituent β-strands; as such, turn nucleation has been proposed as a rate-limiting step in the se...

Considering the present business competitive scenario, the automotive industry is under pressure to achieve higher productivity. A high level of performance and quality standard could be achieved through improving the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of the equipment in an automotive industry. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the performance measurement through OEE theory in a...

Human-robot collaboration presents an opportunity to improve the efficiency of manufacturing and assembly processes, particularly for aerospace manufacturing where tight integration and variability in the build process make physical isolation of robotic-only work challenging. In this paper, we develop a robotic scheduling and control capability that adapts to the changing preferences of a human...

This major final rule with comment period addresses changes to the physician fee schedule, and other Medicare Part B payment policies to ensure that our payment systems are updated to reflect changes in medical practice and the relative value of services, as well as changes in the statute.

The superconducting final focus triplets now operating at the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) demonstrate most of the features required for a B Factory in terms of detector interaction and high machine tolerances. --These features are discussed, together with reasonable expectations for scaling to a B Factory. The effort .and schedule for this project are discussed. -” a!,
