one of the most important issues in the plant layout design especially in mass production organizations with high inter-plant logistics is‘material flow and inter-plant traffic analysis and its effects on the production capabilities or pauses in production lines. in this paper the inter-plant traffic analysis issue on the basis of single channel queue model (m/m/1) is analyzed in a carmaker c...

With growing concern for potential negative impacts to health or the environment of new types consumer goods reaching market, a major challenge both policy makers and producers is understand conditions uptake innovation in situation uncertainty concerning risk related these products. Our contribution studies effects economic growth production scientific knowledge on risk, uptake. It focuses cas...

The release of a part of the cell coat of Ehrlich ascites cells by chelation with ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid modifies significatively the uptake of various radioactive molecules. This phenomenon seems to be related to a change in the permeabililty of the cell membrane. The chemical analyses of the released material appear to indicate that glycoproteins are involved in that change and that...

PCM-14 is a dense coordination polymer formed from Ca(II) and an unusual organophosphonium ligand. The dehydrated framework contains 3-coordinate Ca(II) sites within catenated, chiral 3,3-connected nets. PCM-14 exhibits a stark CO(2) sorption selectivity over H(2), N(2) and O(2). The maximum CO(2) uptake was shown to be highly sensitive to the material pretreatment evacuation temperature.

The transfer of organic material from one coastal environment to another can increase production in recipient habitats in a process known as spatial subsidy. Microorganisms drive the generation, transformation, and uptake of organic material in shallow coastal environments, but their significance in connecting coastal habitats through spatial subsidies has received limited attention. We address...

The interaction of calcium phosphates with biological molecules under controlled conditions permits the formulation of meaningful conclusions concerning the driving forces. The uptake and release at the material-solution interface is the result of the various interactions between and within the system components which include the solid surface, the adsorbate, the solvent and other solutes prese...

A non-aggregated Zn(ii)octa(2,6-diphenylphenoxy) phthalocyanine (coded as TT80) has been used as a hole-transporting material for perovskite solar cells. The cells were fabricated under three different configurations by changing the uptake solvent (chlorobenzene or toluene) and incorporating additives (bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonimide lithium salt (LiTFSI) and 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP). A pow...
