Designed Synthesis of Halogenated Borazine-Linked Polymers and Their Applications in Gas Storage and Separation
… these pursuits, seven borazine-linked polymers (BLPs) have been synthesized through the introduction of p-phenylenediamine, 1,3,5-tris-(4-aminophenyl)benzene, benzidine, or tetra-(4-aminophenyl)methane with boron tribromide or boron trichloride followed by the thermolysis reaction of the …

Essays in Industrial Organization
… up. A major contribution of Berry et al. (1995) (BLP) is to show how to transform the market shares in a non-linear discrete choice demand system into product-quality indices that are linear in price, product characteristics, and the demand error, so standard IV techniques can once again be used …

Flexible Polymer Waveguides for High-Speed Short-Reach Links
… out to get the bandwidth length products (BLP) of the waveguides under flexure. The results indicate polymer waveguide can support over 100 GHz×m BLP and small bends have the ability of improving bandwidth performance further. At last, a 40 Gbps transmission over 1-m spiral flexible polymer …

Radio Resource Allocation in Wireless OFDM Systems
… to convert MINLP to binary linear programming (BLP) which are linear and much easier to solve. We use the optimal solution as the benchmark for game theoretic approaches. The spectrum sharing game is first studied and the existence of NE is proved under the condition that a player¿s payoff is …

Dealing With Uncertainty in Engineering and Management Practices
… coefficient fuzzy binary linear programming (IFBLP) and its solution are built under uncertainty (Peng and Mayorga, 2010c, 2010d). In the IFBLP, the parameter uncertainties are represented by the interval coefficients, and the model structure uncertainties are reflected by the fuzzy constraints …

Operations Research and Lean 6S for Optimized Labor Allocation and Workforce Efficiency Under Absenteeism
… of production where a Binary Linear Programming (BLP) model was developed in Excel Solver to optimise employee assignments. The model allocates workers based on skill matrices, attendance availability, and role requirements while enforcing fairness constraints to prevent repetitive assignments and …

A new reformulation-linearization technique for the bilinear programming and related problems, with applications to risk management
… for the general Bilinear Programming Problem (BlP). BLP's are a class of nonlinear, non convex problems that belong to a higher class known as Biconvex Programming Problems (BCP). These problems find numerous applications in engineering, industrial, and management environments. The new …

Factor influencing headcut migration within a cohesive Texas Black-Land gully.
Gully erosion degrades the Black-Land Prairies (BLP) (Texas), affecting agricultural productivity. It is initiated by rill and inter-rill erosive processes and exacerbated by storm frequency and duration. Few studies have assessed the factors influencing headcut development in cohesive gullies, …

Synthesis and Characterization of Highly Porous Borazine-Linked Polymers via Dehydrogenation/Dehydrocoupling of Borane-Amine Adducts and Their Applications to Gas Storage
… has been designated Borazine-Linked Polymers (BLPs). The polymers reported are constructed of linear, triangular, and tetrahedral amine building units to form 2D and 3D frameworks. The boron sites of the pores are aligned with hydrogen atoms contrasted with the recently reported halogenated …

Dopaminergic Inputs to the Amygdala: Differential Innervation of Interneurons and Convergence With Cortical Afferents
… the mPFC. Electron microscopic analysis of the BLp revealed that 54.1% [53/98] of RCx synapses were in the vicinity of TH-immunoreactive (-ir) axons. However, RCx and TH-ir axons were rarely (9.4% [5/53]) apposed to the same dendrites, suggesting that DA modulates RCx inputs primarily via …

What's on the table : revenue management and the welfare gap In the US airline industry
… data set on ticket purchases via the 'micro' BLP approach Berry et al. [2004]. We will show that the welfare gap is surprisingly large, raising the possibility that a combination of innovative selling mechanisms and legislation can make a dramatic difference to airline profitability and …
