1.1 Purpose and Application

1.1.1 This test method describes the procedure, equipment, and interpretation methods for estimating in-place soil dry density and water content using a Complex-Impedance Measur...

A synchronous grammar based on the formalism of context-free grammar was developed by generalizing the first component of production that models the source text. Unlike other synchronous grammars, the grammar allows multiple target productions to be associated to a single production rule which can b...

RNA secondary structure has become the most exploitable feature for ab initio detection of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) genes from genome sequences. Previous work has used Minimum Free Energy (MFE) based methods developed to identify ncRNAs by measuring sequence fold stability and certainty. However, thes...

This paper presents several useful mixture representations for the reliability function of the residual live of a coherent system with independent but non-identically distributed components. These presentations are based on order statistics, signatures and mean reliability functions. We then discuss...

In-house part supply affects the efficiency of mixed-model assembly lines considerably. Hence, we propose a reliable Just-In-Time part supply strategy with the use of decentralized supermarkets. For a given production sequence and line layout, the proposed strategy schedules tow train routing and de...
