This study proposes an implementation process model for integrating eXtensible Markup Language (XML) into enterprise applications, which also meets the inter-organization data exchange standard of RosettaNet. This model is motivated by the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) group of Taiwan’s Mechanical Industry Research Laboratories (MIRL) in meeting their needs on enterprise applications int...

in this review, we aim to examine the effect of extrinsic and intrinsic factors on spermatogenesis process taking into account a complex signaling pathway. primarily, it is suggested that retinoic acid (ra) has a vital function in spermatogenesis process and it is considered to be essential for completion of spermatogonia into mature spermatozoa. in the present review, the key effects of retino...

Object-oriented analysis and design methods take full advantage of the object specialization hierarchy when it comes to modeling the objects in a system. When modeling system behavior, however, system analysts continue to rely on traditional tools such as state diagrams and dataflow diagrams. While such diagrams capture important aspects of the processes they model, they offer limited guidance ...

Analysis and allocation of tolerance are the typical problems in tolerance planning for the assembly and its components. This paper presents the developed simulator which is able to assist in solving tolerance planning problems in production processes, both in manufacturing and assembly processes. The paper also shows the benefits of this simulator which leads to quality characterisation and im...

This paper deals with the problem of optimizing two-stage structure decision making units (DMUs) where the activity and the performance of two-stage DMU in one period effect on its efficiency in the next period. To evaluate such systems the effect of activities in one period on ones in the next term must be considered. To do so, we propose a dynamic DEA approach to measure the performance of su...

Received May 13, 2012 Revised May 30, 2012 Accepted June 5,2012 This paper outlines the key characteristics that cloud computing technologies possess and illustrates the cloud computing stack containing the three essential services (SaaS, PaaS and IaaS) that have come to define the technology and its delivery model. The underlying virtualization technologies that make cloud computing possible a...

Abstract Ambitions towards a circular economy are increasingly vocalised across academia, policymaking and industry. The endeavour of realising these ambitions provides major opportunities challenges in chemical engineering, requires tremendous roll-out new technologies. This perspective highlights the suitability looping as technology platform to contribute valorisation material streams that c...
