Consumption‐based Material Flow Accounting

Material Flow in Rotary Drums

The experimental investigation of material flow in rotary drums is studied. An equipment in the size of pilot-scale was used to collect experimental data for investigation of validity of the conventional steady-state model of material flow in rotary drums. Also, the transient data of the time required for material movement in the empty drum up to any specified cross section are also reported. T...

Accounting for the Material Stock of Nations

National material stock (MS) accounts have been a neglected field of analysis in industrial ecology, possibly because of the difficulty in establishing such accounts. In this research, we propose a novel method to model national MS based on historical material flow data. This enables us to avoid the laborious data work involved with bottom-up accounts for stocks and to arrive at plausible level...

Material Flow Cost Accounting as an Approach to Improve Resource Efficiency in Manufacturing Companies

What potentials do manufacturing companies have for identifying inefficiencies in their use of resources? Assessing the products with regard to their durability, functional usefulness, use of materials, etc. is only one aspect of the exercise. The actual production operations and the search for in-plant inefficiencies represent the other. In Germany, the material flow cost accounting (MFCA) met...

Focal Flow: Supporting material

Filter Flow: Supplemental Material

In Figure 1 we include a larger version of our linear depth-from-defocus results (Figure 4 in [5]), along with the corresponding result from [6] and from [2]. In Figure 2 we include similar results on another dataset from [6], along with corresponding result from [6] ([2] does not include results on this sequence.) In Figure 3 we include a larger version of our depth-from-defocus and motion res...
