Analysis of Markov renewal processes with some non-regeneration points and their applications to reliability theory
(1980)
Markov renewal theory, a branch of probability theory, is based on the properties of regeneration points. Roughly speaking, a regeneration point is a random time in a process at which the future development of the process ...
Dependent-deferred state attribute acceptance sampling
(1971)
This research is concerned with attribute sampling inspection procedures in which the decision criterion for each lot dictates one of three dispositions; (1) accept the lot, (2) reject the lot, or (3) conditionally accept ...
Least-cost testing sequence models with rework looping and time constraint
(1971)
This research was conducted with the purpose of adding to the sequential testing plans which are available for industrial application. It builds on the work of Walter Price, L.G. Mitten, and Hylton Boothroyd in unconstrained ...
Analysis of executive stress using heart rate as a criterion
(1970)
Continuous records of ECG were obtained from 24 industrial managers during two workdays. A portable magnetic tape recorder was used to obtain 45 days of data suitable for analysis. Diaries were used by the subjects to ...
Procedures for the development of urban water planning objectives
(1972)
One of the most perplexing problems in the United States today is concerned with providing the public service required in rapidly expanding urban areas. A substantial portion of the total public service problem in the urban ...
A stochastic network simulation model for the Texas certificate of need review process as relates to general hospital bed expansion
(1978)
A review of the literature related to hospital utilization as well as the Texas Certificate of Need (CON) process revealed no comprehensive, consistent method for reviewing CON applications. To overcome this deficiency in ...
Optimization of large scale 0-1 integer linear programming problems with multiple-choice constraints
(1978)
In many capital budgeting decision making situations, the decision problem may be formulated as a 0-1 integer linear programming problem with multiple-choice constraints. An example of this formulation is a model of the ...
Vibration, performance, and personality
(1977)
If the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) boundary for preservation of work efficiency, i.e., the "Fatigue Decreased Proficiency Boundary" (FDBP) has been appropriately set, then no human performance ...
Optimization of the second order logarithmic machining economics problem by extended geometric programming
(1978)
The theory of geometric programming is extended to include a new function with logarithmic exponents. The function, defined as a Quadratic Posylognomial (QPL) is a series of nonlinear product terms with positive coefficients ...
Network decomposition procedures for a time-phased highway maintenance scheduling problem
(1980)
A multi-period highway maintenance scheduling program was formulated as a large scale 0-1 integer nonlinear program (INLP). A number of other real world multi-period investment problems can also be formulated in a similar ...
