This paper provides a procedure for calculating the sensitivity of the production lead time to the average job processing time for a single machine problem under a general priority rule using simulation. The aim of this work is to develop sensitivity routines, for queues with any nonpreemptive prior

โฆ Synopsis
A study of carbon fiber reinforced cement (CFRC) composite produced from a dense matrix (low water:cement ratio, increasing content of silica-fume) indicated that it might undergo an aging effect, exhibited by an increase in strength and toughness at early age, followed by a reduction thereafter. This aging effect was not accompanied by corrosion of the fiber or the matrix, and an analytical model was developed to account for it based on processes of physical interaction between the fiber and the matrix.
The processes identified and quantified were: (1) nonuniform fiber length induced by fiber breakage during mixing; (2) increase in fiber-matrix bond with time; and (3) flexural stresses induced in inclined fibers bridging matrix cracks, leading to fiber failure as the matrix becomes denser with age and with increase in silica-fume content.

Zirconia has received special attention, mainly because of its high strength and toughness. However, there is some controversy about the time-dependent deterioration of its mechanical properties. To examine the change in mechanical properties of zirconia ceramics in uivo and in uituo, tetragonal zir
