In spite of the many advantages of asynchronous methodologies in terms of power, timing, EMI and noise immunity, they are still not widely accepted in the industry, mainly due to poor CAD support. NCL_X is a design flow, which was suggested in aim to close this gap, and enable the design of asynchronous digital circuits by standard commercial CAD tools. In this paper I review the papers which o...

Artificial insemination is practiced extensively with commercial turkeys. This is primarily the result of selective breeding for a heavier and broader-breasted commercial turkey and the consequent inability of toms to consistently transfer semen to the hen at copulation. The broiler industry has not adapted AI to the extent of the turkey industry but it is occasionally used in pedigree lines an...

The topic of search engine enterprise—discussed relentlessly in the business world—has somehow slipped under the radar of librarians, educators, most academics, and the news media (save for the business section). Even as search engines become increasingly reconditioned to serve free enterprise, and now address people as consumers rather than users, the industry has been particularly good at sus...

Some years ago, the author had designed and built a portable computed tomography instrument called PortaCat for imaging wooden power poles. Independent trials in 1998 demonstrated that among a range of techniques available, PortaCat images provided the best estimates of parameters such as available bending moments. However, in spite of an urgent requirement of the power industry to adopt non-de...

Knowledge plays an important role in health care. The production and diffusion of health-related knowledge are increasingly under the control of private commercial interests, which are characterized by conflicts of interests that result in abuses of power. Considerable research has been done on the medical-industrial complex and its role in the production of power imbalances and the consequent ...

Microalgae mass cultures can use solar energy for the biofixation of power plant flue gas and other concentrated CO2 sources into biomass that can be used to produce renewable fuels such as methane, ethanol, biodiesel, oils and hydrogen and for other fossil-fuel sparing products and processes. They thus can mitigate emissions of fossil CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Microalgae are currently us...

Abstract The project aims to create a Greenhouse Industry 4.0 Digital Twin software platform for combining the technologies (IoT, AI, Big Data, cloud computing, and Twins) as integrated parts of greenhouse production systems. integration provides new disruptive approach vertical optimization processes improve energy efficiency, throughput, productivity without compromising product quality or su...

The poultry industry is one of the most efficient and flourishing sectors agriculture that not only provides cheaper protein (eggs, meat) but also contributes heavily to country's economy. There are several challenges faced by worldwide. Among all these challenges, disease management has been a major problem. Infectious bronchitis viruses (IBVs) RNA-based having high recombination mutation rate...

IEEE Standard 902, Guide for Maintenance, Operation, and Safety of Industrial Commercial Power Systems, commonly known as The Yellow Book, is one a series 13 standards referred to the Color Book series. Books are developed revised by technical committees Industry Applications Society (IAS) Systems (I&CPS) Department.

This paper addresses the problem of the general validity of models of the industry life cycle, which have been proposed to analyse the long-term evolution of many industries, exhibiting a typical pattern of shakeout. We study a case of non shake-out in the commercial jet aero-engine industry, marked by a small number of entry events distributed over 40 years of industry evolution, by no exits a...
