TL;DR: In this article, the results of the matrix-eigenvalue calculation of the linear stability of Hagen-Poiseuille flow were shown to be in complete agreement with the numerical integration results of Lessen, Sadler & Liu (1968) for azimuthal index n = 1.
Abstract: Correction of an error in the matrix elements used by Salwen & Grosch (1972) has brought the results of the matrix-eigenvalue calculation of the linear stability of Hagen–Poiseuille flow into complete agreement with the numerical integration results of Lessen, Sadler & Liu (1968) for azimuthal index n = 1. The n = 0 results were unaffected by the error and the effect of the error for n > 1 is smaller than for n = 1. The new calculations confirm the conclusion that the flow is stable to infinitesimal disturbances.Further calculations have led to the discovery of a degeneracy at Reynolds number R = 61·452 ± 0·003 and wavenumber α = 0·9874 ± 0·0001, where the second and third eigenmodes have equal complex wave speeds. The variation of wave speed for these two modes has been studied in the vicinity of the degeneracy and shows similarities to the behaviour near the degeneracies found by Cotton and Salwen (see Cotton 1977) for rotating Hagen-Poiseuille flow. Finally, new results are given for n = 10 and 30; the n = 1 results are extended to R = 106; and new results are presented for the variation of the wave speed with αR at high Reynolds number. The high-R results confirm both Burridge & Drazin's (1969) slow-mode approximation and more recent fast-mode results of Burridge.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal team member personal style for new product development success is discussed, and a five-factor model is proposed to understand how personality relates to different kinds of behavior and is used as a framework for reviewing literature related to team performance.
Abstract: The paper centers on the optimal team member personal style for new product development success. Although the role of personality in team performance is not well understood, research suggests that personality plays a critical role in the effective performance of teams. Personality variables should be especially important for new product development (NPD) teams which typically include highly coordinated activities among multidisciplinary members. The five-factor model provides a consistent structure for understanding how personality relates to different kinds of behavior and is used as a framework for reviewing literature related to team performance. The same model is then used to form a set of research propositions that can serve to guide future research on the role of personality in NPD teams. Because the literature suggests that the role of personality is dependent upon the type of task involved, we differentiate our research propositions for two specific types of new product development: incremental innovation and radical innovation. We offer research propositions for the average level of each of the five-factor model variables and performance in the two types of teams. Finally, we suggest a set of research propositions for the effect of heterogeneity of personality on performance in radical and incremental innovation teams.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method and apparatus for the transparent, non-disruptable transfer of data, particularly multimedia data, through any packet-based network, such as an ATM network.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the transparent, non-disruptable transfer of data, particularly multimedia data, through any packet-based network, such as an ATM network is provided. The method of the present invention includes the step of setting a primary path and a secondary path between nodes of a network, or of a network domain. Accordingly, when a switch or node establishes a Virtual Path (VP) to another switch with specified effective bandwith, it also has an alternate VP that is available, although no bandwidth is actually used. The method of the present invention further includes the step of optimizing the available capacity of the system through management actions. For handling congestion and resource failures, the total effective bandwidth on each physical link is categorized in terms of idle capacity (unused or available), used capacity (for existing VPs), and spare capacity. When a resource failure occurs, the idle capacity is used for real-time switching of the VP and service is not disrupted. This is accomplished by an alarm indication management cell which is delivered when a resource problem is encountered. This management cell sets forth the secondary path and the bandwidth associated therewith. On the other hand, if idle capacity does not exist, the spare capacity is used, while the bandwidth for all other VPs is reconfigured using virtual bandwidth optimization. Therefore, service disruption does not occur. In a wireless, mobile network, the present invention monitors node movement and takes management actions on the basis of such node movement to prevent service disruption.

TL;DR: A mixer-settler arrangement provides a single equilibrium stage; a number of them connected together provide multistage extraction as mentioned in this paper, which creates a large interfacial area and increases the extraction rate considerably.
Abstract: Solvent extraction is a common industrially used equilibrium-based separation process. In such a process, a solute (or solutes) in a solution, aqueous or organic, is extracted into an immiscible solvent, organic or aqueous, by dispersing one of the immiscible phases as drops in the other phase. This creates a large interfacial area and increases the extraction rate considerably. After the extraction is over, the phases are separated and the dispersed phase coalesced. There are two general categories of equipment for solvent extraction. A mixer-settler arrangement provides a single equilibrium stage; a number of them connected together provide multistage extraction. Continuous countercurrent contacting equipment whether in the form of columns or centrifugal devices can generate the equivalent of many stages in one device (Treybal 1963).
