This paper analyzes the effects of environmental elements on the psychological characteristics and performance of employees in manufacturing systems using structural equation modeling. Increasing the comprehension of these effects may help optimize manufacturing systems regarding their employees' psychological characteristics and performance from a macroergonomic perspective. As the method, a n...

Most methods for designing component-based systems and verifying their compatibility address only the syntactic compatibility of components; no analysis of run-time behavior is made. Those methods that do address run-time behavior suffer from state-explosion: the exponential increase of the number of global states, and hence the complexity of the analysis, with the number of components. We pres...

This thesis designs and analyzes auctions for persistent goods in three domains with arriving and departing bidders, quantifying tradeoffs between design objectives. The central objective is incentive compatibility, ensuring that it is in bidders’ best interest to reveal their private information truthfully. Other primary concerns are expressiveness, i.e. the richness of the effective bidding l...

With the aim of extending the use of integrated variational principles on fluid and deckplate to the large deflection analysis of floating roofs, this paper investigates the significance of theflexural and membrane components in the formulations of the deck plate. Applying integratedvariational principles on deck plate and fluid facilitate the treatment of the compatibility ofdeformation betwee...

I discuss CLEO-c opportunities in Dalitz plot analyzes with the data samples available now and projected by the end of CESR-c run. Using 281 pb−1 of e+e− collisions at mass of ψ(3770) we present results of the Dalitz plot analysis of D → π−π+π+. Using the CLEO-c and CLEO III samples of 5 pb−1, accrued at mass of ψ(2S), we study three body decays of χcJ produced in the radiative decay ψ(2S) → γχ...

Abstract intelligence is a human enquiry of both natural and artificial intelligence at the reductive embodying levels of neural, cognitive, functional, and logical from the bottom up. This paper describes the taxonomy and nature of intelligence. It analyzes roles of information in the evolution of human intelligence, and the needs for logical abstraction in modeling the brain and natural intel...
