This paper proposes an integrated approach to identify, evaluate, and improve the potential failures in a service setting. This integrated approach combines FCS-FMEA, GRA and profitability theory for better prioritization of the service failures by considering cost as an important issue and using the profitability theory in a way that the corrective actions costs are taken into account. Conside...

Bilingual speakers of Hindi and English often mix English and Hindi together in their everyday conversations. This motivates us to build a mix language Hindi-English recognizer. For this purpose, we need well-trained English and Hindi recognizers. For training our English recognizer we have at our disposal many hours of annotated English speech data. For Hindi, however, we have very limited res...

Nonlinear plasma oscillations in an arbitrary mass ratio cold plasma have been studied using 1-D particle-in-cell simulation. In contrast to earlier work for infinitely massive ion plasmas it has been found that the oscillations phase mix away at any amplitude and that the rate at which phase mixing occurs, depends on the mass ratio ( ∆ = m−/m+ ) and the amplitude. A perturbation theoretic calc...

This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) for solving a generalized model of single-item resource-constrained aggregate production planning (APP) with linear cost functions. APP belongs to a class of pro-duction planning problems in which there is a single production variable representing the total production of all products. We linearize a linear mixed-integer model of APP subject to hiring...

We introduce a unified proof system LUF based on the concepts of polarization and focusing. Connectives from intuitionistic, classical and linear logic can mix with few restrictions in this system. The strongest form of completeness is achieved in that cut-elimination in the unified system immediately proves cut-elimination in each of these logics. This system is based on an expansion of the co...

Complex experimental strategies involving in vitro reconstituted chromatin or simple chromatin interaction studies are much facilitated by immobilizing the nucleosomal arrays to paramagnetic beads. Chromatin-containing beads can be retrieved from a reaction mix solution on a magnet fast and quantitatively, effectively separating bound, loosely attached and unbound components efficiently. This c...
