For many electronic supply chain networks in the world that can comprise hundreds ofcompanies with several tiers of suppliers and intermediate customers, there are numerous presentingrisks to consider. In the electronic supply chain, the situation are even worse, for the characteristics ofthis supply chain: excessive lean management, global sourcing and the rather more uncertain marketdemand. E...

Background: Lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora H.B.K.) is an aromatic and medicinal plant of family Verbenaceae, which cultivated in the North region of Iran. Objective: This comparative study was carried out on essential oil content and composition of Lippia citriodora H.B.K. from micro-propagated and rooted apical stem cutting plantlets. Methods: The micro-propagated plantlets were obtained ...

Title of Thesis: Clustering with Propagated Constraints Eric Robert Eaton, Master of Science, 2005 Thesis directed by: Dr. Marie desJardins, Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Background knowledge in the form of constraints can dramatically improve the quality of generated clustering models. In constrained clustering, these constraints typically specif...

As the dimensions of electronic devices become smaller, they enter the realm of nano-electronics, where the device dimensions lie between the inter-atomic spacing (lnm) and the electron wavelength (lOnm). This offers greatly-enhanced packing density and speed of operation, but introduces the difficulty of maintaining signal quality over large distances. The paper introduces an architectural sol...
