The bandsawing as a multi-point cutting operation is the preferred method for cutting off raw materials in industry. Although cutting off with bandsaw is very old process, research efforts are very limited compared to the other cutting process. Appropriate online tool condition monitoring system is essential for sophisticated and automated machine tools to achieve better tool management. Tool w...

The work is devoted to improving the efficiency of cutting tools on heavy machines by developing a quality management system for its operation, determining rational operating regulations and general machine-building standards cutting. developed model tool operation control first time allowed systematically consider structure relationships all components process. qualimetric approach process mad...

Manufacturing organisations adopt various kinds of green interventions to make their operations more environment friendly. However not all have a similar impact on enhancing the environmental efficiency supply networks. The present study aims identify most effective for chain management (GSCM) using interpretive structural modelling (ISM) technique. GSCM includes implementation enhance viabilit...

BACKGROUND Risk assessment forms a key component in self-harm management. Among self-harm presentations generally, lethality of an index act is a poor predictor of future non-fatal repetition. However, no study has examined whether severity of an index self-cutting episode is associated with prospective repetition. AIMS To examine factors associated with severity of self-cutting and in partic...

Software agents’ technology provides a variety of decision support tools for the improvement of emergency response processes. It improves information availability, automates tasks and enhances information accessibility and sharing. However, due to the heterogeneity of emergency response data and the diversity of stakeholders (and accordingly their objectives), the identification and management ...

Following the 2008 Canadian listeriosis outbreak associated with ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products, regulations on the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in RTE food production facilities were modified by Health Canada, confirming the need to control this pathogen, not only in the final product but also in the plant environment. Information on the occurrence of this microorganism during the earl...

To contribute to an understanding of forest management on secondary forest succession, we conducted vegetation surveys in a chronosequence of pine stands ranging in age from 1 to 59 years. Adjacent areas were compared at 1, 7, 12, and 17 years following two reproduction cutting methods (clearcuts or pine seed-tree cuts); a 59-year-old pine stand that was periodically thinned was also included t...

This paper discusses cake-cutting protocols when the cake is a heterogeneous good, represented by an interval on the real line. We propose a new desirable property, the meta-envy-freeness of cake-cutting, which has not been formally considered before. Meta-envy-free means there is no envy on role assignments, that is, no party wants to exchange his/her role in the protocol with the one of any o...

This paper discusses cake-cutting protocols when the cake is a heterogeneous good that is represented by an interval in the real line. We propose a new desirable property, the meta-envy-freeness of cake-cutting, which has not been formally considered before. Though envy-freeness was considered to be one of the most important desirable properties, envy-freeness does not prevent envy about role a...
