A genetic solution for the cutting stock problem (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
András, P., András, A., & Szabό, Z. (1996, August). A genetic solution for the cutting stock problem. Presented at First Online Workshop on Soft Computing (WSC1), Nagoya, Japan

The cutting stock problem it is of great interest in relation with several real world problems. Basically it means that there are some smaller pieces that have to be cut from a greater stock piece, in such a way, that the remaining part of the stock...

Stability of a gas-liquid interface in a periodic vertical motion (1996)
Journal Article
Valha, J., & Kubie, J. (1996). Stability of a gas-liquid interface in a periodic vertical motion. Chemical Engineering Science, 51(22), 4997-5006. https://doi.org/10.1016/0009-2509%2896%2900348-x

An investigation has been undertaken to examine the stability of a gas-liquid interface in a vertical cylindrical vessel subjected to a sinusoidal vertical motion. Experimental results indicate that there is a certain limiting critical frequency at w... Read More about Stability of a gas-liquid interface in a periodic vertical motion.

Generalised Reed-Muller ASIC converter. (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Almaini, A. E. A., & Burnside, K. (1996, October). Generalised Reed-Muller ASIC converter

The paper outlines the design for a new IC for bidirectional conversion between the functional and operational domains of logic funcyions. The circuit can generate all fixed polarities of Generalised Reed-Muller expansions for a given Boolean express... Read More about Generalised Reed-Muller ASIC converter..

Expert system scheduling of cascade hydro-electric plants. (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Renton, M. W., & Wallace, A. R. (1996, March). Expert system scheduling of cascade hydro-electric plants. Presented at International Conference on Opportunities and Advances in International Power Generation

The hydrological interdependence of plants in cascade
hydro electric systems means that operation of any one
plant has an effect on water levels and storage at other
plants in the system. Hydro plants may be dispatched to
meet predicted demand, t... Read More about Expert system scheduling of cascade hydro-electric plants..

Maximising Value of the Plantation Resource: Part 1. Development of a Log Grading Proposal for Pruned Softwood logs (1996)
Journal Article
Turner, P., & Price, C. S. (1996). Maximising Value of the Plantation Resource: Part 1. Development of a Log Grading Proposal for Pruned Softwood logs. South African forestry journal, 176(1), 29-33. https://doi.org/10.1080/00382167.1996.9629707

There are at present strong market pressures to increase the price of pruned softwood logs in South Africa. However, there is currently no equitable basis on which to price pruned logs, as their value can vary enormously, depending upon a number of i...

Vector continued fraction algorithms. (1996)
Book Chapter
Roberts, D. E. (1996). Vector continued fraction algorithms. In R. Ablamowicz, P. Lounesto, & J. M. Parra (Eds.), Clifford algebras with numeric and symbolic computations (111-119). Birkhauser Verlag AG. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-8157-4_7

We consider the construction of rational approximations to given power series whose coefficients are vectors. The approximants are in the form of vector-valued continued fractions which may be used to obtain vector Pade
approximants using recurrence... Read More about Vector continued fraction algorithms..

Social networks, entrepreneurship and regional development - research issues (1996)
Book Chapter
McQuaid, R. W. (1996). Social networks, entrepreneurship and regional development - research issues. In M. Danson (Ed.), Small Firm Formation and Regional Economic Development (118-131). Routledge

Much of the research into new firm formation focuses upon the entrepreneur and their characteristics or motivations (Brockhaus & Horwitz, 1986), or the external economic environment (Chandler & Hanks, 1994). However, theories based upon isolated, ind... Read More about Social networks, entrepreneurship and regional development - research issues.

A Study of Semi-Rigid and Nonlinear Behaviour Of Nailed Joints in Timber Portal Frames (1996)
Journal Article
Kermani, A. (1996). A Study of Semi-Rigid and Nonlinear Behaviour Of Nailed Joints in Timber Portal Frames. International Journal of Forest Engineering, 7(2), 17-33. https://doi.org/10.1080/08435243.1996.10702682

In this paper a study is made of the semi-rigid and non-linear behaviour of nailed knee joints in timber frames. A numerical analysis is applied to the non-linear deformation of the joints. The solution is derived using the stiffness method of analys... Read More about A Study of Semi-Rigid and Nonlinear Behaviour Of Nailed Joints in Timber Portal Frames.
