NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Operations Research Prof. Gupta OR 6205 Fall 2014 Class Handout No. 1 Problem No. 1. A manufacturing firm has discontinued the production of a certain unprofitable product line. This act created considerable excess production capacity. Management is considering devoting this excess capacity to one or more of three products; call them products 1‚ 2‚ and 3. The available capacity on the machines that might limit output is summarized

Complete Block Design (RCBD) The design allows the grouping of experimental subjects of heterogeneous characteristics into more or less homogenous groups called blocks. By grouping them based on some identified characteristics‚ the difference that would be observed will be largely due to treatment and not due to their characteristics. Another Description of RCBD: Probably the most used and useful of the experimental designs. Takes advantage of grouping similar experimental units into blocks or replicates

Plastic Waste Production of Hollow Blocks and Bricks ABSTRACT The objective of this IP is to prove that plastics can be recycled into reusable hollow blocks/bricks and help the environment by lessening plastic waste. In this experiment‚ plastics were cut into small pieces to use them in bricks/hollow blocks. INTRODUCTION The objective of this project is to help prevent water pollution that causes flood‚ by collecting and using plastic wrappers in making hollow blocks and bricks. Plastic materials

window. 4. Look in the yellow data box in the top left corner of the window. Record the mass (m)‚ volume (V)‚ and density (ρ) of the wood block. 5. In the middle of the screen there is a container of water. Record the volume of the water. 6. Drop the wood block into the water. Does the wood block float? Explain why or why not. 7. Place the block so that it is completely submerged in the water. Now what is the volume of the water? By how much did it change? 8. Write a statement

to be achieved. This is the concept that a mind can be constructed without biological means. In other words‚ functionalism provides the necessary framework needed for artificial intelligence to be conceptualized. To argue against functionalism‚ Ned Block formulated the thought experiment of the “Homunculi-headed robots”. In this scenario‚ a few small human beings are stationed within the head of a robot. Each creature is assigned a task‚ to enter a specific output when shown a corresponding input.

Synchronized Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation Mode/CareFusion Avea Ventilator I have chosen the mode Synchronized Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation Mode because it is one of the modes that is most commonly used in the hospital. I wanted to further understand this mode since it is used as an initial mode setting and is also used to wean patients off the ventilator. I will be going over the taxonomy‚ description of the mode‚ its purpose & use‚ and its advantages & disadvantages. Taxonomy: Volume
