Smart mining complexes and mineral value chains

Complexes and Homotopy Chains

is the boundary chain of the oriented cell &J, the p% being the incidence numbers of the cells a\, a j ~ \ These chains and boundary matrices change by subdivision of the complex A, and the homology groups are the invariants with regard to this process. The chains and boundary matrices which I introduce are defined for complexes U with an adjoined group G of mappings 7 of U in itself, tha t is,...

Value-chains and Mass-Customization

In an e-business world, configuration processes are becoming increasingly distributed. Collecting product information to process it in a centralized configuration system is only feasible in some domains. This short paper argues that in telecommunications, a distributed configuration transaction-oriented process is required. After the theorectical arguments, a particular service management syste...

Value Chains for nutrition

Currently, close to 1 billion people suffer from hunger and food insecurity, defined as not having enough calories to live a healthy life. While this number is staggering, the number of people with poor access to nutritious foods rich in essential micronutrients—such as fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, dairy products, and biofortified staple foods—is even more daunting. Deficiencies in micron...
