OBJECTIVES To evaluate sensitization and acute respiratory health effects in inhabitants living in the vicinity of a factory producing soy oil. METHODS Two panels of potential responders were created on the basis of a response to a short screening questionnaire sent to random samples of 1,000 exposed and 1,000 non-exposed individuals living around the factory and a control area. Individuals r...

The present study aimed to determine the physical, chemical, and textural properties of goatskin used in production Tulum cheese traditional industrial ripening conditions. Natural conditions (caves) some parameters (temperature, humidity, oxygen, CO2 values) cold storage dairy plants were examined between March October. It was determined that temperature moisture content natural cave where car...

heavy metals, e.g. cd and pb emit and release into the environment during cement production and are deposited into soils. this research was carried out to determine the concentration and spatial distribution of trace elements in top soils around the kurdistan cement factory, west of iran in order to evaluate the effect of cement factory on the environment. twenty-four soil samples were collecte...

The digital factory concept is an integrated approach to enhance the product and production engineering processes and simulation is a key technology in digital factory concepts. Different types of simulation can be applied in virtual models on various planning levels and stages to improve the product and process planning. In an advanced stage simulation can be used in the digital factory concep...

The uncertainty of the theoretical prediction of the B̄ → Xsγ branching ratio at NLL level is dominated by the charm mass renormalization scheme ambiguity. In this paper we calculate those NNLL terms which are related to the renormalization of mc, in order to get an estimate of the corresponding uncertainty at the NNLL level. We find that these terms significantly reduce (by typically a factor o...

This paper describes the integration of an experience factory in a modelbased risk analysis framework called CORAS. CORAS aims at developing a new model-based risk analysis framework for security critical application. The framework’s cornerstone of combining methods for risk analysis of critical systems and semiformal modelling methods in a tool-supported environment targeting openness and inte...

This paper explores the use of an Agent Factory for the composition of web services. Previous work proposed a structuring approach for automated reconfiguration of agents by an Agent Factory. The question is whether the same approach can be applied to web service composition, i.e. whether DAML-S descriptions of web services offer enough structure for automated configuration by the Agent Factory...

In order to fulfill all challenges related to design, management, evaluation and reconfiguration of new or existing facilities, the development of a new, integrated and holistic factory framework is required. In this context, a new requirements model is proposed in the context of the innovative framework called Virtual Factory Framework. Using this approach in factory planning it is expected to...
