During the last few years there were two instances, at this Institute, of a positive microscopic finding in the brain of the Bengal tiger, the first in 1943 and the second during the current year. The brains were received at the Institute in a fixative?formol saline and methylated spirit, respectively. The biological test was therefore not possible, but with Neri stain, the routine stain employ...

Research interests have been focused on the concept of penalizing jobs both for being early and for being tardy because not only of modern competitive industrial challenges of providing a variety of products at a very low cost by smoothing productions but also of its increasing and exciting computer applications. Here, sequencing approaches of the mixed- model just-in-time production systems is...

although several papers have studied no-idle scheduling problems, they all focus on flow shops, assuming one processor at each working stage. but, companies commonly extend to hybrid flow shops by duplicating machines in parallel in stages. this paper considers the problem of scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shops. a mixed integer linear programming model is first developed to mathematically form...

ibn sina speaks repeatedly of the distinction between the specific (khas) being and the positive (ijabi) being; a distinction on the basis of which is his distinction of being and essence. thence, the famous problem of the distinction of being and essence is applicable to this distinction too. the difficulty is this: if the specific being is 'being'? this is indeed a problem about ess...

this paper considers a two-stage assembly flow shop problem (tafsp) where m machines are in the first stage and an assembly machine is in the second stage. the objective is to minimize a weighted sum of earliness and tardiness time for n available jobs. jit seeks to identify and eliminate waste components including over production, waiting time, transportation, inventory, movement and defective...
