While reasoners are year after year scaling up in the classical, time invariant domain of ontological knowledge, reasoning upon rapidly changing information has been neglected or forgotten. On the contrary, processing of data streams has been largely investigated and specialized Stream Database Management Systems exist. In this paper, by coupling reasoners with powerful, reactive, throughput-ef...

There are several obstacles to the commercialization of PEM fuel cells.  One of the reasons is that the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) in the reformatted fuel, even at a very small scale, decreases the fuel cell performance. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of CO in reformatted fuel on PEM fuel cell performance. For this purpose, a steady state, one-dimensional and non-isoth...

The main objectives of the paper are to (1) give an overview of the state of the art of environmental value transfer, (2) discuss its prospects and potential role in CBA as a decision-support tool, and (3) provide further guidelines for proper use and application. Environmental value or benefit transfer is a technique in which the results of studies on monetary environmental valuation are appli...

The Value Stream Method (VSM) is widely used in manufacturing to analyze and redesign value streams. aim improve processes, reduce waste create a thorough product flow. Despite having many benefits, VSM also comes with disadvantages regarding modern dynamic production environments. It fails meet the requirement of providing reliable information for realistic Design (VSD) followed by targeted im...

The optimization of value streams inmanufacture will always present alternative solutions to planners as a result of the interdependencies between all the optimization parameters. In the search for an ideal value stream in terms of cost and benefit, relevant monetary and non-monetary parameters have to be considered. The method introduced describes a mathematical calculation bringing different ...

Lead time is a gap between initiation and completion of the processes or product. The lead directly affects productivity. Short results in higher output thus add more value given period. Value stream map an effective tool to describe overall process from order delivery. In this study, there reduction by generation current state future for using various techniques. Thus, main aim work enhance pr...

We propose and analyze the Lizard-construction, a way to construct keystream generator (KSG) based stream ciphers with provable 2 3 n-security with respect to generic time-memory-data tradeoff attacks. Note that for the vast majority of known practical KSG-based stream ciphers such attacks reduce the effective key length to the birthday bound n/2, where n denotes the inner state length of the u...

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a value-based improvement approach that eliminates losses and processing time maximizes value added time, contributing to enhanced performance effectiveness. In this context, paper introduces VSM as different method for restaurant industry an overall perception output flow through differentiating wastes, improving cycle reduction assessing the final service. For pu...

Market positioning, i.e., the competitiveness of European shipyards, depends a lot on measures continuously improving business processes, therefore meeting criteria environmental protection and sustainable energy. Lean management enables ongoing improvements all system processes by recognizing removing unnecessary costs same, those activities which do not contribute to added value for customer....
