Novikov/Conformal Gearing

Scientific Theory and Practice

By: Stephen P. Radzevich

This book presents the latest accomplishments in Novikov/conformal gearing as well as high-conformal gearing. It is focused primarily on strength calculation of gear teeth and the manufacturing of gears for Novikov/conformal and high-conformal gearing along with a brief discussion of achievements in the modern theory of gearing. The modern theory of gearing is the foundation of all optimal designs of gears, gear-sets, and transmissions of all known designs, as well as, of all those to be developed in the future. As even a small improvement in efficiency on a single gear can represent a significant cost saving, given the millions of gears used in industry every year, this volume provides the design and manufacturing engineer in invaluable resource.

Optimization Software Guide

By: Jorge J. More,Stephen J. Wright

Developments in optimization theory, including emphasis on large problems and on interior-point methods for linear programming, have begun to appear in production software. Here is a reference tool that includes discussions of these areas and names software packages that incorporate the results of theoretical research. After an introduction to the major problem areas in optimization and an outline of the algorithms used to solve them, a data sheet is presented for each of the 75 software packages and libraries in the authors' survey. These include information on the capabilities of the packages, how to obtain them, and addresses for further information. Standard optimization paradigms are addressed -- linear, quadratic, and nonlinear programming; network optimization; unconstrained and bound-constrained optimization; least-squares problems; nonlinear equations; and integer programming. The most practical algorithms for the major fields of numerical optimization are outlined, and the software packages in which they are implemented are described. This format will aid current and potential users of optimization software in classifying the optimization problem to be solved, determining appropriate algorithms, and obtaining the software that implements those algorithms. Readers need only a basic knowledge of vector calculus and linear algebra to understand this book.

Primal-dual Interior-Point Methods

Primal-dual Interior-Point Methods

By: Stephen J. Wright

In the past decade, primal-dual algorithms have emerged as the most important and useful algorithms from the interior-point class. This book presents the major primal-dual algorithms for linear programming in straightforward terms. A thorough description of the theoretical properties of these methods is given, as are a discussion of practical and computational aspects and a summary of current software. This is an excellent, timely, and well-written work. The major primal-dual algorithms covered in this book are path-following algorithms (short- and long-step, predictor-corrector), potential-reduction algorithms, and infeasible-interior-point algorithms. A unified treatment of superlinear convergence, finite termination, and detection of infeasible problems is presented. Issues relevant to practical implementation are also discussed, including sparse linear algebra and a complete specification of Mehrotra's predictor-corrector algorithm. Also treated are extensions of primal-dual algorithms to more general problems such as monotone complementarity, semidefinite programming, and general convex programming problems.

May the Armed Forces Be with You

The Relationship Between Science Fiction and the United States Military

By: Stephen Dedman

May the Armed Forces Be with You

The Relationship Between Science Fiction and the United States Military

By: Stephen Dedman

Science fiction and the United States military often inhabit the same imaginative space. Weapons technology has taken inspiration from science fiction, from the bazooka and the atomic bomb to weaponized lasers and drones. Star-spangled superheroes sold war bonds in comic books sent to GIs during World War II, and adorned the noses of bombers. The same superheroes now appear in big-budget movies made with military assistance, fighting evil in today's war zones. A missile shield of laser satellites--dreamed up by writers and embraced by the high command--is partially credited with ending the Cold War. Sci-fi themes and imagery are used to sell weapons programs, military service and wars to the public. Some science fiction creators have willingly cooperated with the military; others have been conscripted. Some have used the genre as a forum for protest. This book examines the relationship between the U.S. military and science fiction through more than 80 years of novels, comics, films and television series, including Captain America, Starship Troopers, The Twilight Zone, Dr. Strangelove, Star Trek, Iron Man, Bill the Galactic Hero, The Forever War, Star Wars, Aliens, Ender's Game, Space: Above and Beyond and Old Man's War.

To Improve Health and Health Care 1997

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Anthology

By: Stephen L. Isaacs,James R. Knickman

At the Frontlines of Health Research Since 1972, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has been the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to health. The Foundation is dedicated to educating the public about health care innovation through findings from the projects it supports. This book, the first in a new series, offers you an in-depth look at programs funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Written for health care professionals and interested members of the public, the series will provide useful lessons to leaders and educators as they develop plans and policies for the next century. The cases discussed here illustrate how the Foundation is tackling some of today's key health care issues, and focuses specificly on three areas of concern--access to care, changes in the health care system, and improving conditions for vulnerable groups. This volume focues on: The media and managed care Medical malpractice Measuring access to care Programs for homeless families Immunization services for children Improving health policy at the state level Shaping the health care workforce Chronic care services Death and dying Physicians and the uninsured Sexual behavior and AIDS
