This paper examines the effects of increased intra-industry trade on the labour market adjustment costs in Portugal’s automobile industry. Using a static and dynamic panel data approach, the results show a negative correlation between changes of employment and marginal intra-industry trade. These results confirm the smooth adjustment hypothesis, as well as suggesting that the multinational comp...

This article intends a hybrid energy-harvesting shock absorber design which comprehends energy harvesting of automobile suspension vibration dissipation. A mathematical model the prototype is established, and simulation results show that dissipation can be recovered by varying feed module, thereby got damping forces (DF) ratio at different compression extension stroke. The conversion from hydra...

The objectives of the study were to evaluate effect transportation leucoreduced erythrocyte suspension (LES) using a rotary-type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (drone); determine its application and use in clinical practice after on drone. Materials research methods. Transportation 6 doses LES with volume 260 300 ml UAV was performed. Before suitability blood components for determined; number er...

Emission systems and devices are required on automobile engines to reduce air pollution problems. Catalytic converters have been used on most 1975 and newer automobiles to reduce hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions to a value that meets the Environmental Protection Agency requirements established for 1975 and 1976. The 1980-1981 Boise, Idaho, study shows that with a functioning catal...

This research aimed to identify the most important criteria to be used as a baseline for a supplier selection process of automobile sector in India. The results are based on the feedback from automobile sector in India. The common questionnaire was us...

The whole-body vibration (WBV) experienced by automobile drivers and the effects of WBV have been widely investigated. There exists a need to review the research literature investigating the evidence of WBV in automobile drivers and the effects of WBV. The aim of this review is to determine whether WBV exists in automobile drivers and then to find out the effects of WBV. Low Back Pain (LBP) is ...
