This paper develops a conceptual framework to examine the factors impacting on the adoption of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and its impact on retail supply chain performance. RFID has been applied successfully in closed systems for some time. However, recent technology improvements and...

Technological innovation continually shifts boundaries of possibilities and at the same time challenges ethical dimensions. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology challenges both what is possible and what is ethical. On this basis, this paper incorporates an analysis of RFID...

This paper takes a lateral approach toward developing discussion around the challenge for the modern-day leader in the area of fast-moving technological change. It isolates Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as a barometer for the typical multi-level manifestations any leader can expect from...

This report documents the methodology, computational framework, and results of facility accident analyses performed for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (WM PEIS). The accident sequences potentially important to human health risk...

One of the main components of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Materials Program is to prevent the loss of radioactive materials through the use of tracking technologies. If a source is inadvertently lost or purposely abandoned or stolen, it is critical that the source be...

The purpose of this document is to introduce and describe the Livermore Computing Production Control System, commonly called the PCS. Resource management is very difficult in typical UNIX and related systems. The weakness involves the allocation, control and delivery of the usage of computer...
