A comprehensive approach of planning and scheduling based on petri nets

The main results available on the use of black-and-white Petri nets for modelling, planning and scheduling manufacturing systems are presented. In the first part of the paper, the basics of Petri nets necessary to understand the subsequent presentation are introduced. Particular attention is paid to event graphs, a particular type of Petri nets used for modelling and evaluating ratio-driven systems. The second part of the paper is devoted to ratio-driven systems, their modelling and their scheduling. Job-shops, assembly systems, and KANBAN systems are used to illustrate this section. Finally, the general case is investigated of manufacturing systems subject to changing demands. An approach based on conflict-free Petri nets with input and output transitions is proposed for planning and scheduling this type of system.     

Luminescence Properties of Eu3+ Complexes of Tripode and Tetrapode Ligands Containing 2,2′-Bipyridine Units

The Eu³⁺ complexes of the tripode and tetrapode ligands 1 and 2 , respectively, containing 2,2′-bipyridine coordinating units have been prepared. The UV absorption and luminescence spectra, lifetimes, and quantum yields have been measured under a variety of experimental conditions. The contributions of different paths to the decay of the luminescent excited state are evaluated, and the structures of the complexes are discussed on the basis of spectroscopic and photophysical data.     

Constantes de couplage vicinales à travers deux hétéroatomes: III—Calculs théoriques et mesures expérimentales dans les hydrazides enrichies en 15N

Different calculations, among them those utilizing the finite perturbation theory with INDO wave functions, have been effected to calculate the value of the ³J(¹H ? N? N? ¹H ) coupling constant in hydrazides as a function of the dihedral angle. Experimental coupling constants have been compared with calculated ones in order to determine the conformation around the N? N bond. The first example of a ²J(¹H ? N? ¹⁵N ) coupling is described.     

Synthèse d'analogues bihétérocycliques du phénanthrène: Les méthyl-1-[1]benzothinéo,benzoséléno[2,3-b ]pyrroles,et méthyl-1-[1]benzofuro,benzothiéno et benzoséléno[3,2-b ]pyrroles

The condensation of ethyl sarcosinate on 2- or 3-halogeno 3- or 2-formyl[1]benzofuran. benzothiophene or benzoselenophene, and on the related 2h-[1]-3-benzoheteroyclanones is described. In the last instances the resulting compounds were formylated in teh 2-position with subsequent. After hydrolysis and decarboxylation, the I1methy][1]benzothieno-, benzoseleno [2,3-b]pyrroles were were thus obtained.
