Models and algorithms for the design of survivable multicommodity flow networks with general failure scenarios **.(General Papers)(Statistical table)
Omega
; 1. Introduction In this paper, we examine the survivability aspect of network design, that is, the ability of a network to remain operational in the lace of partial damage to its infrastructure. One contemporary application in which survivability is vital can be found in telecommunication network

Appraisal review tips for bankers: Part 5: Absolute value.(Commercial Real Estate)
The RMA Journal
; Remember when you learned the concept of absolute value, in which a number between two bars || represents the distance from 0 of a point on a number line? The absolute value is always a positive number (or zero). For example, | -2 | meant that value was 2. Of course, then | 2 | also was 2. I

A slope-bounding procedure for mass-minimizing currents.
International Journal of Applied Mathematics & Statistics
; ABSTRACT In the higher codimensional, non-parametric context the area integrand is not a convex function, but if restricted to small enough slopes the integrand is convex. That non-convexity prevents the extension to higher codimensions of certain methods applicable to the problem of explicit

Correctness and scalability.(Special Issue of Design & Manufacturing on Agile Manufacturing; Flexible Manufacturing System Structural Control and the Neighborhood Policy, part 1)
IIE Transactions
; 1. Introduction The concept of agile manufacturing is emerging as a key competitive organizational feature and strategic goal for manufacturing enterprises. The rapid configuration of human and technological manufacturing resources will require highly flexible manufacturing and production systems.

The bisection theorem.
Microwave Journal
; Essentially, the bisection theorem implies that all network parameters may be derived from [Z.sub.e] and [Z.sub.o]. If a circuit has two ports and is symmetrical about a central plane, the bisection theorem may be used to calculate [S.sub.22] = [S.sub.11] and [S.sub.21] = [S.sub.12]. The circuit

An evaluation of the performance of kernel estimators for graduating mortality data.
Journal of Population Research
; In the graduation of the age-specific mortality pattern, recent emphasis has been placed on the use of kernel regression estimators. Three such estimators are the Nadaraya-Watson, Gasser-Muller and kernel weighted local linear estimators. This paper discusses the theoretical background of each

Regularity of solutions to second-order integral functionals in variational calculus.(Report)
International Journal of Applied Mathematics & Statistics
; ABSTRACT We obtain regularity conditions of a new type of problems of the calculus of variations with second-order derivatives. As a corollary, we get non-occurrence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon. Our main result asserts that autonomous integral functionals of the calculus of variations with a

Heuristics for minimizing tool switches when scheduling part types on a flexible machine.
IIE Transactions
; 1. Introduction We consider the following Tool Loading Problem (TLP) encountered in flexible manufacturing. A series of n parts of different types, each requiring a particular set of tools of different sizes are to be produced on a single flexible machine. The tools are to be loaded in a magazine

Money demand in Japan and nonlinear cointegration.
Journal of Money, Credit & Banking
; THE THEORY OF money demand implies that the money demand function is almost infinitely elastic at extremely low nominal interest rates. This feature of the money demand function has important implications for monetary policy. For example, it suggests that the quantity of money that the central bank
