A Preventive Maintenance Decision Policy Based on Economic-Technical and Applicibility Considerations

The present study is intended to develop a Preventive Maintenance (PM) policy for industrial applications, while considering two different objectives: the first objective is to optimize the total maintenance costs, i.e., the Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Emergency Maintenance (EM) Costs Per Unit Time. (CPUT). The second objective is to design the policy in such a way that the simplicity of it...

A Proof-of-principle Echo-enabled Harmonic Generation Experiment at Slac∗

In this paper we describe the technical design of an ongoing proof-of-principle echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) experiment at the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA) at SLAC. We present the design considerations and the technical details of the experiment.

Assuring QoE on Next Generation Networks

Hours spent in the lab measuring connect latency, packet loss, or call completion rates are justified by the high-stakes nature of the game and the importance of quality. Evidence of this is in a recent lawsuit in which a large CLEC is refusing to pay for over $60 million worth of equipment from a major manufacturer, essentially on the basis that the next generation equipment doesn't work as we...

Past and future impact of next-generation sequencing in head and neck cancer.

Progress in sequencing technology is intrinsically linked to progress in understanding cancer genomics. The purpose of this review was to discuss the development from Sanger sequencing to next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. We highlight the technical considerations for understanding reports using NGS. We discuss the findings of studies in head and neck cancer using NGS as well as The C...
