Production Network Capacity Modeling for Strategic Network Planning
Strategic planning of manufacturing capacity requires data-based approaches to determine current and future constraints in a manufacturing network. While oftentimes, the desire to improve decision-making in strategic planning is strong among decision makers, and data on capacity generally exists in …

Hostile-Diabetic Men: An Examination of Peripheral Glucose and QEEG Magnitudes Subsequent to Lateralized Fluency-Stressors
Using the Limited Capacity Model of hostility (Walters & Harrison, 2006; Williamson & Harrison, 2005; Williamson, Harrison, & Walters, 2007) as a guide, the stress response of individuals with a variable and dysregulated fuel supply to their brain (diabetes) was examined subsequent to lateralized …

Second law analysis and the application of the efficient power criterion to a four-temperature-level absorption chiller
… levels (which are assumed to be of infinite heat capacity in most studies). Heat transfer interactions that occur between the heat reservoirs and the internal components are of high importance to determine the efficiency and cooling capacity of absorption chillers. The purpose of this study is to …

Hypertension in Older African Americans: Testing Psychosocial Mediators
… adults. Past studies have used the Reserve Capacity Model (RCM; Gallo & Matthews, 2003; 2005) to understand these relationships. The RCM asserts that stress can be mitigated by psychosocial resources (mastery, optimism, self-esteem) which lead to healthy lifestyle behaviors predictive of …

Change Detection Memory In Rhesus Monkeys and Humans
… limitations in recent years have been the fixed-capacity model and the continuous-resource model. The fixed-capacity model proposes a discrete limit on the total number of visual items that can be stored in VSTM. The continuous-resource model proposes a continuous-resource that can be allocated …
