A media-access-control (MAC) table of switches is used to store the MAC addresses of stations in a local area network (LAN) segment to enable frame forwarding. Each incoming frame is broadcast to all switch ports through a switch backplane when an MAC address is not registered in the MAC table. If an address is registered, the switch forwards the frame to the port connected to the destination h...

The paper presents a method for integrating two different types of data analysis: symbolic inductive learning and statistical methods. The method concerns the problem of discovering rules characterizing the dependence between a group of dependent attributes and a group of independent groups, e.g., decision attributes and measurable attributes. The method proceeds along two paths. One paths gene...

Recently, as the Internet has become more widely used, Electronic Commerce (EC) has emerged and has developed a high-level business environment. The customer-centric EC model is important for the success of EC and this study presents a new customer-centric EC model in make-to-order (MTO) semiconductor manufacturing environment. In this study we proposed the EC model providing the process transp...

In engineering-to-order (ETO) or manufacturing-to-order (MTO) systems producing highly customized items, the high level of customization, together with long flow times, forces the production plan to be defined before information on items customization, and details on the manufacturing activities are completely disclosed. Due to the partial available information, the production plan must provide...

Operando UV/Vis spectroscopy with on-line mass spectrometry was used to study the effect of different types of impurities on the hydrocarbon pool species and the activity of H-SAPO-34 as a methanol-to-olefins (MTO) catalyst. Successive reaction cycles with different purity feedstocks were studied, with an intermittent regeneration step. The combined study of two distinct impurity types (i.e., f...

Purpose of this paper is to analyse and compare the behavior of workload control models in flow shops of both the MTO (Make-To-Order) and MTS (Make-To-Stock) classes. A simulation model has been built, where a manufacturing cell is loaded through an input control mechanism with shop orders coming from a “pool”. The “pool” itself is fed with planned orders coming from an MRP system. The MRP syst...

Organosulfur compounds (OSCs) are naturally emitted via various processes involving phytoplankton and algae in marine regions, from animal metabolism, and from biomass decomposition inland. These compounds are malodorant and reactive. Their oxidation to methanesulfonic and sulfuric acids leads to the formation and growth of atmospheric particles, which are known to influence clouds and climate,...

This paper provides new evidence on the effects of moving out of disadvantaged neighborhoods on the long-run economic outcomes of children. My empirical strategy is based on public housing demolitions in Chicago which forced households to relocate to private market housing using vouchers. Specifically, I compare adult outcomes of children displaced by demolition to their peers who lived in near...

In the last decades to supply the various and different demands of clients, a lot of manufacturers trend to use the mixedmodel assembly line (MMAL) in their production lines, since this policy make possible to assemble various and different models of the equivalent goods on the same line with the MTO approach. In this article, we determine the sequence of (MMAL) line, with applying the kitting ...

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) were originally introduced to provide positioning and timing services for terrestrial Earth users. However, space users increasingly rely on GNSS for spacecraft navigation and other science applications at several different altitudes from the Earth surface, in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), and feasib...
