The production of food is a sector that consumes significant amount energy and encompasses both agricultural industrial processes. In this study, the consumption whole milk powder production, which known to be particularly energy-intensive, was examined. study used cumulative exergy approach evaluate overall process powder, including dairy farm (raw production) factory (powder stages. results s...

Plant factory is known as the closed controlled plant production systems with the artificial lighting. Environmental factors have been concerned as the most important factors to influence quality of product in plant factory. One of the most applicable technologies for optimizing plant production system in plant factory is Infotronics. In the plant factory, Infotronics is defined as a combinatio...

BACKGROUND Microscopic fungi are the biological agent of occupational risk in the woodworking environment. Microbiological and chemical methods were used for determination of their concentration and species composition in dust. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dust was sampled in 3 factories producing furniture using different materials. The 1st factory (A) processes solid wood, the 2nd (B) - chipboards ...

The socialist factory, as the 'incubator' of the new socialist (wo)man, is a productive entry point for the study of socialist modernization and its contradictions. By outlining some theoretical and methodological insights gathered through field-research in factories in former Yugoslavia, we seek to connect the state of labour history in the Balkans to recent breakthroughs made by labour histor...

ABSTRACT In the past few years, dairy industry has become one of the fastest growing sectors in the packaged food industry of Vietnam. However, the value-added creation among different activities in the value chain of Vietnam dairy sector is distributed unequally. In the production activities, the dairy farmers gain low value-added rate due to high input cost. Whereas the processing activities,...

BACKGROUND To compare the effects of low versus recommended levels of dairy intake on weight maintenance and body composition subsequent to weight loss. DESIGN AND METHODS Two site (University of Kansas-KU; University of Tennessee-UT), 9 month, randomized trial. Weight loss was baseline to 3 months, weight maintenance was 4 to 9 months. Participants were maintained randomly assigned to low da...

The impressive performance of current (KEKB) and recent (PEP-II) B-Factory colliders has increased interest in developing even higher luminosity B-factories. Two new designs are being developed (SuperKEKB and SuperB). Both designs plan to deliver a luminosity in the range of 1×10 cms, nearly 100 times the present B-factory level. Achieving this high luminosity requires high-current beams and sh...

The AEFTA (Application Enabler Technology for Factory Automation) experiment, which involves Digital Equipment Corporation, Politecnico di Torino and SYCO, with staff of seven, develops a factory automation product using BASEstar Open (1990) and object technology, notably OMT (Rumbaugh et al. 1991), G++ (Menga et al. 1993) and C++. The goal of the application experiment is to verify if object o...

This paper describes a virtual factory in which almost any manufacturing process can be deened, modelled, and then carried out. The results of this are designs of the components manufactured (in the form of geometric models) and part programs and process plans for their manufacture. Both of these can subsequently be reloaded into the virtual factory and amended and enhanced, or|in the case of t...
