the most important environmental pollutant in steel industry is air pollution due to the process of its products. optimise sitting for this industry, in a great extend will prevent pollutants and emissions. khorasan steel company is located near some populous villages and three rivers. it is necessary to perform an investigation for providing abatement and control of air pollution, in time of p...

We consider the problem of efficiently scheduling the production of goods for a model steel manufacturing company. We propose a new approach for solving this classic problem, using techniques from the statistical physics of complex networks in conjunction with depth-first search to generate a successful, flexible, schedule. The schedule generated by our algorithm is more efficient and outperfor...

This work focuses on the process redesign for software development and management implemented at a Mexican steel manufacturing company. The main goal was to improve the software systems production, maintenance and support; it was achieved by implementing artifacts and practices of RUP and Agile Methodologies like FDD and XP. Throughout this document we can identify the needs and problems on the...

With a legacy of legal cartels, protectionism and government intervention in private economic activity, Japan endorses a different system of competitive capitalism from that which prevails in the United States. This research examines the effect of Japan's competition policies on the development of Japan's postwar steel industry. In this paper, I describe my findings on the Japanese system of in...

The Swedish physicist, Waloddi Weibull, is renowned for formulating a family of probability distributions for modelling the variability of nonnegative, quantitative, random phenomena (see reference 3). The distribution was originally designed to model the breaking strength of steel (Weibull was scientific advisor to Bofors, the Swedish steel company) but, since then, Weibull analysis has evolve...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the workers safety behavior and to determine the importance of each unsafe behavior in an Iranian steel manufacturing company. METHODS This study was conducted in Mobareke steel manufacturing company, which is located in the middle of Iran, in 2007. The methodology was based on the safety behavior sampling (SBS) technique and entropy. After specifying t...

This work focuses on standardization and improvement of processes and practices using a combination of methodologies including Agile Methodologies (AM). It was implemented at a Mexican steel manufacturing company using FDD, XP and RUP. The main goal was to improve the software systems production, maintenance and support.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the association between shift work and hyperuricemia among steel company workers. METHODS We examined 1,029 male workers at a Korean steel company between June 6 and June 28, 2013. We conducted anthropometric measurements, questionnaire surveys, and blood tests. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid concentration of ≥7.0 mg/dL. Logistic...
