An experimental validation of mathematical simulation of human thermoregulation
(Elsevier, 1977)An experimental validation of Stolwijk's mathematical model of thermoregulation is presented. Although the model seems to be accepted widely, very little experimental data for validation exists in the open literature. ... -
Mathematical programming with multiple objectives: A tutorial
(1980)A system of classifying about two dozen major methods for mathematical programming with multiple objectives, or multiple objective decision making (MODM) is presented. The classification has been based upon four categories ... -
An aggregate production planning model and application of three multiple objective decision methods
(Taylor & Francis, 1980)This paper presents a multiple objective formulation of the multi-product, multi-period aggregate production planning problem. The proposed model provides for individual consideration of the conflicting multiple objectives ... -
Interactive sequential goal programming
(Palgrave Macmillan, 1981)This paper introduces a new solution method based on Goal Programming for Multiple Objective Decision Making (MODM) problems. The method, called Interactive Sequential Goal Programming (ISGP), combines and extends the ... -
An aggregate production planning model and application of three multiple objective decision methods
(Industrial Engineering and Management Press, Institute of Industrial Engineers, 1984) -
Forecasting plant labor productivity with a time series model
(Elsevier Ltd., 1985)Plant labor productivity index, defined as the ratio of the standard labor hours and actual labor hours, is an important factor in the determination of the future manpower needs at Cessna Aircraft Co. (Pawnee Division). ... -
A microcomputer-based knowledge system for CAD software selection
(Elsevier, 1987)This paper documents a prototype knowledge system which has been developed to select the most appropriate CAD software based on the user's requirements and preferences. -
An algorithm for multiple-objective non-linear programming
(Palgrave Macmillan, 1989)An interactive algorithm to solve multiple-objective non-linear programming (MONLP) problems is proposed. In each iteration of the proposed algorithm, the decision-maker is presented with a solution and a set of direction ... -
A knowledge-based system for sensor selection
(Elsevier, 1989)This paper presents a Knowledge-based system (KBS) developed to allow users, who may not be knowledgeable about sensors, to select sensors suitable for their specific needs. The KBS runs on a micro-computer. The selection ... -
Essex -- An intelligent advisor for expert system shell selection
(Elsevier, 1989)This paper described an advisory system for selecting expert system software. Some background into the problems that an organization might face in the selection of expert system software will first be presented. After this, ... -
Rehabilitation engineering
(CRC Press, 1990)The purpose of this handbook is to bring together information on the special devices and associated systems which have been developed to assist the handicapped in living and vocational pursuits and in clinical use. This ... -
Physiological capacities of individuals with cerebral palsy
(Sage Publications, 1990-08)The physical work capacity (PWC) and the physiological response to stimulated tasks of nine ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) were studied. Energy demand for each work task was determined by percentage of PWC ... -
Psychophysical lifting capacity over extended periods
(Taylor & Francis, 1991-01)The effect of time on an individual's lifting capacity over extended periods using a psychophysical approach was studied. Twelve male subjects estimated their lifting capacity in a 25 min period, and then attempted to lift ... -
SENSES: A knowledge-based sensor selection system
(Elsevier Ltd., 1992)A key component in any measurement and control system is the sensor. To operate reliably a sensor must meet all of the critical application specifications. Due to the myriad of factors that must be taken into consideration ... -
Anthropometry of south Indian industrial workmen
(Taylor & Francis, 1992-11)This paper presents the results of an anthropometric survey conducted on South Indian male workers in the electronic industry. The data were collected as part of a project to modify work stations that utilized equipment ... -
A knowledge-based advisory system for statistical quality control
(Taylor & Francis, 1993)Implementation of an effective quality management system requires the ready availability of expert statistical quality control (SQC) practitioners. However, this expertise may be unavailable to many small- and medium-size ... -
Training of ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy
(W.B. Saunders, 1993-05)The effect of training on the physical work capacity (PWC) and the physiological response to simulated tasks of seven ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) were studied. Energy demand for each work task was ... -
Maximum acceptable frequencies for females performing a drilling task in different wrist postures
(Human Ergology Society, 1994-12)This paper presents a study on the effect of wrist posture; flexion, extension, ulnar deviation, and radial deviation on maximum acceptable frequencies (MAF) for a drilling task using a psychophysical approach. Twelve ... -
Psychophysically acceptable weights for a combination lifting task using bags with handles
(Human Ergology Society, 1994-12)This paper presents a study on a combination lift and lower manual handling task and was designed to simulate the loading of grocery bags into a car trunk. Twelve male subjects performed an externally paced task of lifting ... -
A knowledge-based model management system for aircraft survivability analysis
(Elsevier B.V., 1995)For the survivability analysis of a weapon system, an analyst has to consider and choose from a large number of available models the set of models that best fits the study requirements. This paper presents a knowledge-based ...
