This paper reviews a cyclic scheduling model of repetitive manufacturing environments consisting of exible machines and multi-stage jobs. We explicitly model two system performance measures, throughput and ow time, while incorporating variability arising from uncertainty in operation processing times. We present an iterative approximation scheme to estimate the two moment behavior of our perfor...

Part D. Section 3: Fatty Acids and Cholesterol

Dietary fats, or lipids, are a macronutrient class that includes fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol. Fats supply fuel energy (9 kcal/g) and the essential fatty acids, linoleic and alphalinolenic acids. Fats, therefore, are a key factor in the maintenance of caloric balance and body weight. Specific fatty acids also serve as precursors for numerous biological pathways that influence inf...

Cdf and D∅ Top Quark Cross Section Measurements

Preliminary results of t ¯ t cross section measurements and single top exclusion limits of the Tevatron experiments CDF and D∅ are presented. The different measurements are based on a dataset between 140 and 200 pb −1 corresponding to a data taking period from spring 2002 to September 2004. The t ¯ t cross section measurements are consistent with each other and the Standard Model prediction. Da...
