The performance of an iron-bath reactor has been studied using a comprehensive numerical model that combines a computational fluid dynamics approach for the gas phase and a heat and mass balance model for the bath. The model calculates:
- •coal, ore, flux and oxygen consumption;
- •post-combustion ratio (PCR);
- •heat-transfer efficiency (HTE);
- •off-gas temperature and composition;
- •heat transfer and chemical reactions between gas and iron and slag droplets; and
- •heat transfer between gas and bath, refractories and lance.

Bidirected graphs generalize directed and undirected graphs in that edges are oriented locally at every node. The natural notion of the degree of a node that takes into account (local) orientations is that of net-degree. In this paper, we extend the following four topics from (un)directed graphs to bidirected graphs:
- –Erdős–Gallai-type results: characterization of net-degree sequences,
- –Havel–Hakimi-type results: complete sets of degree-preserving operations,
- –Extremal degree sequences: characterization of uniquely realizable sequences, and
- –Enumerative aspects: counting formulas for net-degree sequences.

In some applications a minimum cost transportation model arises where supplies are fixed while demands may simultaneously vary. In this paper we analyse the structure of such a model and propose several techniques to describe its behaviour. Our approach is founded on the concept of optimal region, i.e., the subset of demand vectors where a given basic tree is optimal. The proposed algorithm consists in different pivoting strategies designed to:
- 1.build up a minimal list of basic trees such that the associated optimal regions cover the set of feasible demand vectors;
- 2.analyse the effects of either opening a new supplier or closing an existing one;
- 3.suitably treat the dual degenerate case by building up a minimal representation of every maximal region where the optimal value is linear in the demand vector.

Analysis of the errors in two Old Babylonian “algebraic” problems shows
- •that the computations were performed on a device where additive contributions were no longer identifiable once they had entered the computation;
- •that this device must have been some kind of counting board or abacus where numbers were represented as collections of calculi;
- •that units and tens were represented in distinct ways, perhaps by means of different calculi.
- •Additive Beiträge waren nach ihrer Eintragung in die Rechnung nicht länger identifizierbar.
- •Das Gerät war eine Art Rechenbrett, auf welchem Zahlen als Haufen von Rechensteinen erschienen.
- •Einer und Zehner wurden in verschiedener Weise, evtl. mittels verschiedener Rechensteine repräsentiert.

We prove the following theorems:
- 1)Any surgery of index one on u tight contact manifold (of dimension three) gives rise to a manifold which carries a natural tight contact structure.
- 2)In a tight contact manifold, any two isotopic spheres which carry the same characteristic foliation are isotopic through a contact isolopy.
- 3)In a tight contact manifold, any two isotopic spheres have isomorphic complements.

This paper is devoted to the characterization of external electrostatic potentials for which the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system satisfies one of the following properties:
- (i) the system admits stationary solutions,
- (ii) any solution to the evolution problem converges to a stationary solution, or, equivalently, no mass vanishes for large times,
- (iii) the free energy is bounded from below, We give conditions under which these different notions of confinement are equivalent.

Utilizing Janus (A), we analyzed the decision made by LTG Richard Ewell at Gettysburg, PA on the evening of 1 July, 1863. At this time, LTG Ewell decided not to attack Culp's Hill. Instead, he waited until the next morning to attack, to permit the mustering of both artillery support and his third division, under command of MG Johnson. Many historians contend that this was a poor tactical decision and was a direct cause of the confederate loss at Gettysburg and possibly the war. We have investigated this issue using a combat simulation model called Janus (Army).Prerequisite to the simulation, systems and weapons of the time had to be modeled in the Janus database. To keep this relatively manageable, we decided to model only the most significant system types on each side. These included the Confederate and Yankee soldier armed with a bayonet and a non-repeating rifle; the cannoneer and cannon (12 Ib ball and cannister-shot) on each side. In total, the simulation represented nearly 200,000 systems engaged at Gettysburg.Our study employed a two level, two factor experimental design. The two factors were the presence of the corp's artillery and Johnson's division. Both factors were relevant to the decision to delay the confederate attack. The levels corresponded with whether or not each factor was used in the simulation. In all, we conducted three replications of the following four design points (tactical alternatives) from which to base our conclusions:
- 1.Design Point 1 (B): Situation on 1 Jul 1863 (no change). Ewell's Corps attacks.
- 2.Design Point 2 (B+A): Corps Artillery supports the attack.
- 3.Design Point 3 (B+J): MG Johnson's Division participates in attack.
- 4.Design Point 4 (B+A+J): Corps Artillery supports and MG Johnson's Division participates in attack.We conclude that LTG Ewell made the correct tactical decision. Without either his corps artillery or Johnson's Division, the corps would have faced annihilation should he have attacked on 1 July. Had he had his corps artillery (6 guns), he probably should have pushed aggressively up the hill. If he had only Johnson's division, he probably could have taken the hill but could not have held it as a tenable position for very long.

The first and major part of this presentation shows how OR education may be improved through the use of spreadsheets, with several examples:
- •in decision theory, where the drawing capabilities of Excel are used to represent decision trees and where window switching and macros allow the educator to animate his presentation;
- •in linear programming, where the solver is used (remarks are made relating to the adequacy of the solver's solutions), and where the spreadsheet's graphing capabilities are used both to represent the feasible set and the objective function, and to interactively animate the objective function or constraint movements;
- •in dynamic programming, deterministic or stochastic, where it is shown that several standard spreadsheet functions facilitate the development of specialized models;
- •in simulation, where it will be seen how stochastic simulation may be facilitated through the use of an add-in, and how a decision support system may thus be built from scratch in less than 10 minutes.

A procedure of the dynamic programming (DP) for the discrete-continuous problem of a route optimization is considered. It is possible to consider this procedure as a dynamic method of optimization of the towns choice in the well-known traveling salesman problem. In the considered version of DP, elements of a dynamic optimization are used. Two variants of the function of the aggregations of losses are investigated:
- 1.(1) the additive functions;
- 2.(2) the function characterizing the aggregation of losses in the bottle-neck problem.

We consider the common-knowledge paradox raised by Halpern and Moses: common knowledge is necessary for agreement and coordination, but common knowledge is unattainable in the real world because of temporal imprecision. We discuss two solutions to this paradox:
- 1.(1) modeling the world with a coarser granularity, and
- 2.(2) relaxing the requirements for coordination.

In my talk, I will present some works done in the nineties on Laplacians on graphs: from eigenvalue problems to inverse problem for resistor networks. I will focus on the motivations and the main results as well as on the main ideas:
- •A differential topology point of view on the minor relation: a nice stratification associated to a finite graph Γ whose strata are associated to the minors of Γ
- •“Discrete” (graphs) versus “continuous” (Riemannian manifolds)
- •Stability of spectra with respect to singular limits: a finite dimensional theory of operators with domains (Von Neumann theory).

- 1.(1) distributed parameter system form derived from the conservation law;
- 2.(2) space discretized continuous lumped parameter form;
- 3.(3) space and time discretized lumped parameter form.

Egress complexity is concerned with the summative uncertainty experienced by a naive occupant of a building when faced with a challenge to evacuate without the assistance of signage. This paper takes the present model of egress complexity and recasts its basic initiative in terms of elementary order theory. Arguments are presented to demonstrate
- •the existence of distinct maximum and minimum exit complexities for a given number of compartments,
- •the monotonic nature of complexity and
- •the relationship of a given floorplan complexity to the corresponding measures of its homomorphic images
