	abstract = {The looming obsolescence of 3 billion consumer electronics by 2010 calls for effective recycling of 10 billion pounds of high-value engineering thermoplastics. Because general shredding operations generate mixed plastics of low value, a switching rule is needed rapidly to identify plastics for sortation by colour and type to increase plastics-to-plastics recycling value. The current paper develops a heuristic rule to determine the thresholds for a switching rule that reduces set-up time while managing queue space. Our recycling system is modelled as a multiclass queuing network in a simulation model. Results indicate that laser identification probe utilization, setups, and queue space are sensitive to the switching rule. Our work contributes important insights into the relationship between traffic intensity, setup time, and queue capacity, and generalizes to multiclass queuing systems in other applications.},

	abstract = {Oxidative addition of H2S to MoRu(CO)(6)(mu-dppm)(2) (1) at similar to 20 degrees C in toluene yields an isolable complex formulated as Mo(CO)(3)(mu-SH)(mu-CO)(mu-dppm)(2)RuH(CO) (2) via the possible intermediate Mo(CO)(3)(mu-H)(mu-CO)(mu-dppm)(2)Ru(SH)(CO) (4) (dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) that is detectable at lower temperatures. Over 2 days, species 2 in toluene loses H-2 (and CO) to yield the bridged-sulfide product, Mo(CO)(2)(mu-CO)(mu-S)(mu-dppm)(2)Ru(CO) (5) that is also formed directly from the reaction of 1 with elemental sulfur. The solid-state molecular structure of 5 is determined by X-ray crystallography. A further hydrido-sulfhydryl species, possibly Mo(CO)(3)(mu-SH)(mu-H)(mu-dppm)(2)Ru(CO)(2) (3), is in equilibrium with 2 at ambient temperature.},

	abstract = {Millions of end-of-life (EOL) electronic products represent more than one million tons of engineering thermoplastics. The economically and environmentally sound recovery of engineering thermoplastics from EOL electronics is a challenge to the sustainability of electronics manufacturing. In this paper, we review the technologies to separate and identify pure post-consumer plastics from EOL electronics, which are followed by the comparison of electronic plastics recycling processes and the network models for plastics recycling processes. We also review successful plastics recycling practices for electronics. In addition, further research directions for recycling plastics from EOL electronics are discussed.},
