Three approaches to development of new manufacturing systems are discussed. The technology oriented approach is exemplified through Computer-IntegratedManufacturing (CIM). A human oriented approach is also described. The utmost alternative is called Human-Integrated-Manufacturing (HIM). A third, combined, approach is called Computer-Human-Integrated-Manufacturing (CHIM). Swedish manufacturers a...

The dual supergravity description of the flow between (2,0) five–brane theory and the noncommutative five–brane (OM) theory is examined at critical five– brane field strength. The self–duality of the field strength is shown to arise as a consequence of the supergravity solution. Open membrane solutions are examined in the background of the five–brane giving rise to an M analogue of the noncommu...

Goal This lecture aims to give an overview of ultrafast image techniques such as echo-planar imaging (EPI) and spiral imaging. While these techniques offer significant speed improvement, they are often accompanied by practical issues that degrade the quality of the images, thereby compromising their benefits. Therefore, it is important to take proper control of the tradeoff between imaging spee...

Fusion hierarchies of A–D–E face models are constructed. The fused critical D, E and elliptic D models yield new solutions of the YangBaxter equations with bond variables on the edges of faces in addition to the spin variables on the corners. It is shown directly that the row transfer matrices of the fused models satisfy special functional equations. Intertwiners between the fused A–D–E models ...

We find explicit AdS4 solutions of massive type IIA with N = 2 supersymmetry obtained deforming with a Roman mass the type IIA supersymmetric reduction of the M theory background AdS4 ×M111. The family of solutions have SU(3) × SU(3) structure and isometry SU(3) × U(1)2. They are conjectured to be dual to three-dimensional N = 2 Chern-Simons theories with generic Chern-Simons couplings and gaug...

The present document aims to explore the possibilities of introduction of the IPFIX (IP Flow Information eXport) and PSAMP (Packet Sampling) standards at implementation of a non-intrusive device for monitoring the QoS parameters in high speed networks. Since no implementation of such device, fully conform with both standards, currently exists, this paper provides the basic points for its develo...

A large body of empirical evidence demonstrates that judicial review of agency action is highly politicized, in the sense that Republican appointees are significantly more likely to invalidate liberal agency decisions than conservative ones, while Democratic appointees are significantly more likely to invalidate conservative agency decisions than liberal ones. These results hold for both (a) ju...

We study the compactness in Lloc of the semigroup (St)t≥0 of entropy weak solutions to strictly convex scalar conservation laws in one space dimension. The compactness of St for each t > 0 was established by P. D. Lax [1]. Upper estimates for the Kolmogorov’s ε-entropy of the image through St of bounded sets C in L ∩ L∞ which is denoted by Hε(St(C) | L(R)) := log2 Nε(St(C)). where Nε(St(C)) is ...
