scheduling is an important subject of production and operations management area. in flow-shop scheduling, the objective is to obtain a sequence of jobs which when processed in a fixed order of machines, will optimize some well defined criteria. the concept of transportation time is very important in scheduling. transportation can be done by robots. in situations that robots are used to transpor...

Although a growing number of regional trade agreements (RTAs) include telecommunications provisions, the collection and systematization information on provisions in RTAs remain limited. This paper addresses this gap by mapping reviewing different types found that have been notified to World Trade Organization (WTO).

Scheduling is an important subject of production and operations management area. In flow-shop scheduling, the objective is to obtain a sequence of jobs which when processed in a fixed order of machines, will optimize some well defined criteria. The concept of transportation time is very important in scheduling. Transportation can be done by robots. In situations that robots are used to transpor...

Mr. Brown has a policy that he buys a new car as soon as his old one breaks down or reaches the age of 6 years, whichever occurs first. Suppose that the successive lifetimes (time until they breakdown) of the cars he buys can be regarded as independent and identically distributed random variables, each uniformly distributed on the interval [0, 10] years. Suppose that each new car costs $20, 000...

Thresholds to anodal make, anodal break, cathodal make and cathodal break have been studied throughout the cardiac cycle in 13 dogs under pentobarbital anesthesia. Unipolar direct current pulses were applied through epicardial pacemaker electrodes to the left ventricle. Make and break responses were separated by letting the break and make occur in the refractory periods of the following and pre...
