Structural analysis and control of flexible manufacturing systems
"This work develops the theory of FMS structural analysis and control. Structural analysis in discrete event systems refers to the characterization of states and regions in the system state space which are logically inconsistent with ""normal"" system operation. The structural characteristics of an …

Measurements and effects of fiber orientations on engineering properties of non-woven geotextiles
The use of non-woven geotextiles has been increasing exponentially since the 1970s. Due to the lack of understanding in the structural characteristics of non-woven geotextiles, the semi-empirical design of non-woven geotextiles used in different fields of applications are still being used. The …

Biogenesis of Membrane-Bound and Secreted Immunoglobulins
<p>The specificity of the immune response to antigen was first appreciated by the study of serum immunoglobulins (Igs). The subpopulation of lymphoid cells that synthesize these molecules are so defined as members of the B lineage; the end-stage cell type of this lineage is the plasma cell. The …
