Most business negotiation in supply chain and information exchange in manufacturing processes are heavily human-involved. The processes of negotiation and...
This paper describes a design specification for a generic, supply-chain-simulation system. The proposed simulation system is based on schedule-driven and stock...

We compared methods of measuring the residual resistivity ratio (RRR) of high-purity Nb using transport current. Our experimental study is intended to answer...
We made variable-temperature critical-current (I c) measurements on a commercial multifilamentary Nb-Ti wire for temperatures (T) from 4 to 9 K and magnetic...

For nearly a century, the cornerstone of fire safety in buildings has been the ability to confine a fire for a time sufficient for people to reach safety and...
This paper outlines a need for accurate determination of the incapacitating potency of effluent from burning commercial products for use in fire risk and hazard...
RCS (Real-time Control System) is a cognitive architecture designed to enable any level of intelligent behavior, up to and including human levels of performance...

We outline the formalism for linking microwave remote-sensing measurements to fundamental noise standards and estimate the achievable uncertainty. Plans for the...
The refractive index of helium at atmospheric pressure can be calculated from first principles with a very low uncertainty, on the order of 10^-10. Furthermore...
