    • The Complexity of Safety Stock Placement in General-Network Supply Chains 

      Lesnaia, Ekaterina; Vasilescu, Iuliu; Graves, Stephen C. (2005-01)
      We consider the optimization problem of safety stock placement in a supply chain, as formulated in [1]. We prove that this problem is NP-Hard for supply chains modeled as general acyclic networks. Thus, we do not expect ...

    • UV Embossed Plastic Chip for Protein Separation and Identification 

      Guo, Xun; Chan-Park, Mary Bee-Eng; Yoon, Soon Fatt; Chun, Jung-Hoon; Hua, Lin; e.a. (2005-01)
      This report demonstrates a UV-embossed polymeric chip for protein separation and identification by Capillary Isoelectric Focusing (CIEF) and Matrix Assisted Laser Desportion/Ionization Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-MS). The ...

    • A Two-level Prediction Model for Deep Reactive Ion Etch (DRIE) 

      Taylor, Hayden K.; Sun, Hongwei; Hill, Tyrone F.; Schmidt, Martin A.; Boning, Duane S. (2005-01)
      We contribute a quantitative and systematic model to capture etch non-uniformity in deep reactive ion etch of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. Deep reactive ion etch is commonly used in MEMS fabrication where ...
