The Deluxe Corporation’s PrintWise System: An Innovative Solution to a Long-Standing Environmental Problem
ثبت نشده
چکیده
With a market share of over 50%, Deluxe Corporation was the largest printer of checks and related financial forms in the United States. The lithographic printing process the company had been employing at about 50 facilities in the U.S. resulted in significant volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions regulated by the Clean Air Act. Although conventional inks contained VOCs that contributed to the environmental problem, Deluxe’s main concern was the VOC-rich solvents used to clean the presses.

An Innovative Method for The Analysis of Structures with Tension-only Members
Due to their dual behavior under tension and compression, structures with tension-only members show non-linear behavior. To analize such structures, it is necessary to use a nonlinear analysis scheme. Nonlinear analysis methods generally use gradual loading techniques with/without modification of stiffness matrix of the structure. These methods, in addition to being time consuming algorithms, a...

متن کاملOptimal Solution in a Constrained Distribution System
We develop a method to obtain an optimal solution for a constrained distribution system with several items and multi-retailers. The objective is to determine the procurement frequency as well as the joint shipment interval for each retailer in order to minimize the total costs. The proposed method is applicable to both nested and non-nested policies and ends up with an optimal solution. To solv...
