Implementation of a System for Monitoring Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Exploring Correlation Between OEE and Process Capability
(East Carolina University, 2011)
An effective process equipment monitoring tool widely accepted in manufacturing units today is overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). OEE began its debut as a pillar of the total productive maintenance (TPM) system, where ...
Random Walks on Finite Fields and Heisenberg Groups
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Let H be a finite group and [mu] a probability measure on H. This data determines an invariant random walk on H beginning from the identity element. The probability distribution for the state of the random walk after n ...
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COGNITIVE COMPLEXITY AND POLITICAL PARTISANSHIP

The general equilibrium theory of J.M. Keynes was developed in the 1930's to help explain the great depression and prevent future economic downturns. Out of this came the IS-LM (investment saving/liquid money) model, ...
Quantifying Double-Strand Breaks and Clustered Damages in DNA by Single-Molecule Laser Fluorescence Sizing
(East Carolina University, 2003-02)
Fluorescence from a single DNA molecule passing through a laser beam is proportional to the size (contour length) of the molecule, and molecules of different sizes can be counted with equal efficiencies. Single-molecule ...
Levels of Ca2+-Dipicolinic Acid in Individual Bacillus Spores Determined Using Microfluidic Raman Tweezers
(East Carolina University, 2007-07)
Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (dipicolinic acid [DPA]) in a 1:1 chelate with calcium ion (Ca-DPA) comprises 5 to 15% of the dry weight of spores of Bacillus species. Ca-DPA is important in spore resistance to many ...
