The Global environment oIn the past, managers have viewed the global sector as closed Each country or market was assumed to be isolated from others Firms did not consider global competition, exports oToday's environment is very different managers need to view it as an open market Organizations buy and sell around the world Managers need to learn to compete globally Irwin/McGraw-Hill CThe McGran-Hill Companies, Inc, 2000

This book is designed to help the engineer understand the principles of metal form￾ing and to analyze forming problems – both the mechanics of forming processes and how the properties of metals interact with the processes. In this book, an entire chapter is devoted to forming limit diagrams and various aspects of stamping and another to other sheet forming operations. Sheet testing is covered in a separate chapter. Coverage of sheet metal properties has been expanded. Interesting end￾of-chapter notes have been added throughout, as well as references. More than 200 end-of-chapter problems are also included

Flow control: end-to-end mechanism for regulating traffic between source and destination Congestion control: Mechanism used by the network to limit congestion The two are not really separable, and I will refer to both as flow control In either case, both amount to mechanisms for limiting the amount of traffic entering the network Sometimes the load is more than the network can handle Eytan Modiano

The educator’s job is not increase motivation per se(本身）but to discover, initiate, and sustain student’s motivation to learn, and to engage in activities that lead to learning

In this appendix, we present a primer for people who are unfamiliar with the Java language. This introduction is intended to allow you to develop the Java skills necessary to understand the programs in this text. It is not a complete Java reference; for a more thorough coverage of Java, consult the Bibliographical Notes. We do not assume that you are familiar with object-oriented principles, such as classes, objects, and encapsulation, although some knowledge of these topics would be helpful. If you are already familiar with C or C++, the transition to Java will be smooth, because much Java syntax is based on C/C++

Based on the measured activities, the phase diagrams and the annexation principle, the calculating models of mass action concentrations for Ag-Bi and Ag-Bi-In melts have been formulated. The calculated results agree with practice and obey the mass action law, showing that the models formulated can reflect the structural characteristics of both melts. Meanwhile, it confirms that annexation principle is applicable to the Ag-Bi-In metallic melts. The melts involving eutectic which give rise to phase separation, and in which activities exhibit positive deviation from Raoult's law is the basic cause of melts transforming from homogeneous to heterogeneous ones

Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and steelmaking slag have been used as a raw material for cement production or as an aggregate to make concrete, which contribute aluminum, calcium, iron, and silicon oxides.The suitability of the slag for a particular application depends on its reactivity, cost, availability, and its influence on the properties of the resulting concrete.For the interest of durability studying of concrete in the presence of slag, the accelerated carbonation products and leaching behavior of the slag and Portland cement (PC) were studied.The experimental results confirmed that the slag was more resistant to carbonation compared to PC.The carbonation degree of GGBFS reduced by 17.74%;and the carbonation degrees of steelmaking slags reduced by 9.51%-11.94%.Carbonation neutralized the alkaline nature of the hydrated pastes and gave rise to the redox potential of the leachate slightly (30-77mV).The carbonation also increased the release of most of the elements pr

The radical concepts of engineering stochastic optimization are introduced and a method for solving uncertain problems is developed according to the satisfied estimation of probabilistic values to stochastic constraints and the use of a quasi-gradient searching direction. The method is applied to engineering designs with linear or nonlinear stochastic constraints
