Abstract: This article analyses the difficulties observed in adopting Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program production systems. The research strategies used for this purpose consisted of a literature review, panel experts and survey with professionals working manufacturing companies. Altogether, 69 market took part collected data was analyzed through PLS-SEM technique. Results indicate tha...

Due to intense global competition, manufacturing companies need improve and optimize productivity, increase production flexibility, gain competitive advantages. Companies have begun look for new approaches strategies in the field of management. This includes tools like Single Minute Exchange Die (SMED) Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), which aim manage machines equipment, reduce waste lead ti...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare long-term effectiveness of five antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) for monotherapy of adult patients with focal epilepsy in routine clinical practice. METHODS Adult patients with focal epilepsy, who were prescribed with carbamazepine (CBZ), valproate (VPA), lamotrigine (LTG), topiramate (TPM), or oxcarbazepine (OXC) as monotherapy, during the period from January 2004...

The effectiveness and widespread use of pyrethroid insecticides has lead to concerns regarding their safety. Human ingestion of these potentially neurotoxic compounds is typically through hand-to-mouth contact or consumption of contaminated foods. A substantial proportion of ingested pyrethroids are eliminated in feces, suggesting that absorption is limited, possibly by the action of the efflux...

The reaction of 1-alkynes with acyl azides in the presence of [Tpm(*,Br)Cu(NCMe)]BF(4) [Tpm(*,Br) = tris(3,5-dimethyl-4-bromopyrazolyl)methane] as the catalyst provides 2,5-oxazoles in moderate to high yields. This is a novel transformation of the CuAAC type that constitutes a significant variation of the commonly observed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction to yield 1,2,3-triazoles.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has received much attention in the domain of railway traffic planning and management (TPM) from academia industries. While many promising applications have been reported, there remains a lack detailed review AI models/algorithms their uses adaptations rail TPM. To fill this gap, systematic literature conducts, reports, synthesizes state-of-the-art applied TPM four p...

We report a miniaturized probe-based combined two-photon microscopy (TPM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. This system is to study the colorectal cancer in mouse models by visualizing both cellular and structural information of the colon in 3D with TPM and OCT respectively. The probe consisted of gradient index (GRIN) lenses and a 90° reflecting prism at its distal end for side-vi...

PURPOSE The aim of the study wad to estimate a potentially neuroprotective effect of topiramate (TPM) in the experimental model of FS. MATERIAL AND METHODS 24 young male rats divided in 4 groups were involved in the study. Febrile seizures were induced by placing the animals in 45 degrees C warm water bath for four consecutive days. TPM at the dose 80 mg/kg b.m. was administered: before the F...

OBJECTIVE Treatment algorithms for type 2 diabetes recommend weight loss for disease management. The safety and efficacy of treatment with phentermine (PHEN)/topiramate (TPM) extended release (ER) plus lifestyle modification for weight loss and glycemic benefits were assessed in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 56-week studies of obese/overweight adults with type 2 diabetes.
