This slag is generally recycled in a waste recycling plant (WRP) so as to separate the magnetic and the nonmagnetic portions by means of mechanical crushing and magnetic separation. The magnetic portion is then recycled and used in the primary steel making p...

This paper investigates the optimal inventory replenishment policy for an economic production quantity (EPQ) model with backordering, rework and machine breakdown taking place in stock piling time. A prior paper by Chiu has examined the lot-sizing problem on an imperfect quality EPQ model. Due to another reliability factor random machine breakdown seems to be inevitable in most real world manuf...

Renal cortex was studied during experimentally induced ischemia. A transient increase in anerobic glycolysis occurred with concomitant swelling of both the Golgi apparatus and mitochondria. These intracytoplasmic organelles underwent marked changes in their intracellular positions. Infolding of cytoplasmic membrane at the basal side of proximal tubule cells increased in complexity and proceeded...

In November 2013, the United States Food and Drug Administration set off a media firestorm (or what passes for one in our world) when it sent a warning letter to the highest-profile direct-to-consumer genetic testing company, Silicon Valley-based 23andMe (Gutierrez, 2013). The company, the agency alleged, had committed a litany of transgressions during its six years in business, most notably vi...

We present an experiment which aims to investigate the mechanical properties of a static granular assembly. The piling is a horizontal 3D granular layer confined in a box. We apply a localized extra force at the surface and the spatial distribution of stresses at the bottom is obtained (the mechanical Green's function). For different types of granular media, we observe a linear pressure respons...
