Mathematical programming is the most prominent tool used in supply chain configuration, specifically for establishing the supply chain network, because of its ability to deal with spatial issues effectively. This chapter presents the generic mixed-integer programming model used in configuration. Application of this... 

Finally, preliminary diagnostic evaluation criteria, based on preventive identification of critical areas of interest on the monitored item, spatial concentration of localized AE events as compared with average AE event density and evolution of local event concentration vs time and/or plant parameters, have been worked out and submitted to extensive testing under real operation conditions. Work on this very critical issue is still to be consohdated. 

There are complicating issues in defmmg pseudopotentials, e.g. the pseudopotential in equation Al.3.78 is state dependent, orbitally dependent and the energy and spatial separations between valence and core electrons are sometimes not transparent. These are not insunnoimtable issues. The state dependence is usually weak and can be ignored. The orbital dependence requires different potentials for different angular momentum components. This can be incorporated via non-local operators. The distinction between valence and core states can be addressed by incorporating the core level in question as part of the valence shell. For... 

Temporal and Spatial Resolution. Once the issue of nomenclature is resolved, the team must select a baseline temporal and spatial resolution. Scientists studying plate deformations and the behavior of internal earth processes use time scales of millions and billions of years. Scientists studying the dynamics at the surface of the earth are concerned with solar driven processes and use time scales ranging from days to centuries. These researchers may assume that internal earth processes are static for purposes of their studies. If the temporal baseline selected is days, then those researchers interested in phenomena that require years or centuries will withdraw from the team. 

The presentation in this paper concentrates on the use of large-scale numerical simulation in unraveling these questions for models of two-dimensional directional solidification in an imposed temperature gradient. The simplest models for transport and interfacial physics in these processes are presented in Section 2 along with a summary of the analytical results for the onset of the cellular instability. The finite-element analyses used in the numerical calculations are described in Section 3. Steady-state and time-dependent results for shallow cell near the onset of the instability are presented in Section 4. The issue of the presence of a fundamental mechanism for wavelength selection for deep cells is discussed in Section 5 in the context of calculations with varying spatial wavelength. 

The issues of selection of the spatial wavelength and the deterministic character of the fine scale features of the microstructure are closely related to similar questions in nonlinear transitions in a host of other physical systems, such as macroscopic models of immiscible displacement in porous media - - the Hele Shaw Problem (15) - and flow transitions in fluid mechanical systems (16).

Estimation of parameters present in partial differential equations is a very complex issue. Quite often by proper discretization of the spatial derivatives we transform the governing PDEs into a large number of ODEs. Hence, the problem can be transformed into one described by ODEs and be tackled with similar techniques. However, the fact that in such cases we have a system of high dimensionality requires particular attention. Parameter estimation for systems described by PDEs is examined in Chapter 11.
