On the Evolution of the National Design System: The Catch-up Perspective
Product combines function and form. This research focuses on the evolution of the product form and its corresponding system at national and international level. With the rise of the intangible economy, the evidence in this study presents that the global economy during the past decades has witnessed …

XSnap : a queueing network analysis package
… package called XSnap, which can be used to solve product-form mixed multi-class queueing networks. A Graphical User Interface allows interactive network specification, whilst the modeller can also define complex network experiments and request customised output through the use of a language called …

Optimization on products of combinatorial structures
… problems on combinatorial structures with a product form. The independence number of a graph G, denoted $\alpha (G)$, is the size of the largest independent set in G, where a subset S of the vertex set V(G) is independent if no two vertices in S are adjacent in G. The clique covering number …

General queueing networks with priorities. Maximum entropy analysis of general queueing network models with priority preemptive resume or head-of-line and non-priority based service disciplines.
… schedulling is not compatible with exact product form solutions of queueing network models (QNM's). It is therefore, necessary to employ credible approximate techniques for solving QNM's with priority classes. The principle of maximum entropy (ME) is a method of inference for estimating a …

Multilevel logic network synthesis system, SYLON-XTRANS and read-only memory minimization procedure, MINROM
… to represent MSPF and CSPF by the use of sum-of-product form. Because of the use of the sum-of-product form, SYLON-XTRANS can handle a network with a larger number of input variables than the original Transduction method. We have discussed the calculation of MSPF and CSPF in a network with a …

Decomposition of general queueing network models. An investigation into the implementation of hierarchical decomposition schemes of general closed queueing network models using the principle of minimum relative entropy subject to fully decomposable constraints.
… offer powerful evaluation tools for the performance analysis of computer systems and communication networks. These methods being conventionally implemented capture the exact solution of separable queueing network models but their credibility differs when applied to general queueing networks. …

An evaluation of existing and conceptual short-rotation energy plantation harvesting machines and systems
… plantation size, soil type, terrain, and end-product form. A prototype short-rotation energy plantation harvester attachment for a medium-size farm tractor or skidder was described and is under construction. Tests were performed on two types of circular saws as severance devices. The tests …

An activity-based cost model for design-concurrent calculation
… of a cost model that estimates the costs of product design alternatives during the design process. This cost information, regarding design alternatives, is for decision making purposes. With the help of this cost model, the designer can better approximate that product form which results in …

The spares provisioning problem with parts inventory
… model which describes the system is a non-product-form network in the case of finite nonzero stocking policy, and specification of closed-form solutions is highly unlikely for such networks. In this dissertation, we present efficient algorithms through which the optimal number of machines, …

Insects as a Sustainable Food Ingredient – Utilization of Carrot Pomace, Identification of Early Adopters, and Evaluation of Mealworm Acceptability
… less land and resources and can utilize food by-products to grow. While insects are consumed by over 2 billion people worldwide, they are not widely accepted in developed countries like the United States because of their unfamiliarity and the perception of disgust associated with entomophagy. The …
