Purpose: Since the emergence of Lean Manufacturing many organizations strived to implement it. Nonetheless, sustainable Lean transformation is not as easy as to be simply achieved. Several aspects need to be taken into ...

This paper proposes and validates using experimental data a dynamic model to determine the current–temperature relationship of insulated and jacketed cables in air. The model includes the conductor core, the inner insulation ...

The analysis by TSDC of a large variety of cables subjected to long annealing times, has resulted in spectra that sometimes show an oscillation of the current peak observed at 99°C. This process has been observed in some ...

Emissions of SO2 and NO2 from coal-fired power plants are a significant source of air pollution. In order to typify the power plants' plumes dynamics and quantify their contribution to air quality, a comprehensive ...

The Alabama Burst Energetics eXplorer (ABEX) is a 12U CubeSat commissioned by the Alabama Space Grant Consortium; its astrophysics mission is to study the low energy, prompt emission of Gamma-ray Bursts in both gamma and ...

Nuclear fusion technology is one of the main valuable candidates for providing a trustable base load in low-carbon future energy scenarios, thanks to its power density, low emissions and flexibility, together with innovative ...

This paper introduces an optimization-based approach for the simultaneous solution of batch process synthesis and plant allocation, with decisions like the selection of chemicals, process stages, task-unit assignments, ...

A key ingredient in any numerical study of supernova explosions is the nuclear network routine that is coupled with the hydrodynamic simulation code. When these studies are performed in more than one dimension, the size ...

Knowledge of the physical location of the nodes is known to improve performance in wireless networks. This is especially true in MANETs, where routing protocols face a continuously changing topology. In the past, routing ...

In this paper we present a modified on-chip charge pumping method for measuring the interface states in ultra-thin gate oxide complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The proposed method, which characterizes ...
