The research and development in the field of magnetoresistive sensors has played an important role in the last few decades. Here, the authors give an introduction to the fundamentals of the anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) and the giant magnetoresistive (GMR) effect as well as an overview of various types of sensors in industrial applications. In addition, the authors present their recent wor...

The agent technology provides a new way to design and engineer control solutions based on the decentralization of control over distributed structures, addressing the current requirements for modern control systems in industrial domains. This paper presents the current situation of the development and deployment of agent technology, discussing the initiatives and the current trends faced for a w...

The exchange of wastes, by-products, and energy among closely situated firms is one of the distinctive features of the applications of industrial ecological principles.This at= ticle examines the industrial district at Kalundborg, Denmark, often labeled as an “industrial ecosystem” or “industrial symbiosis” because ofthe many links among the firms.The forces that led to its evolution and to the...

In this brief account, we review work from our lab with a focus on late-stage introduction of fluorine and fluorinated functional groups into small molecules. We attempt to highlight practical developments, which we believe may have potential for industrial applications, and critically reflect on developments that may not yet meet the bar for practical use.

Growing global demand for energy, result in depletion of easily access source of fossil fuels. To fulfillment of this huge demand, oil and gas industry expanded to develop offshore oil and gas reservoirs in recent years, which made environmental management challenging. IRAN owns one of the biggest offshore gas reservoir in PERSIAN GULF with high geopolitical and financial importance. Along the ...

This paper deals with the economic evaluation of industrial projects. Some traditional techniques, which have been used by practicing managers or advocated by academics, become questionable in the face of modern developments in finance theory. The objective of this paper is to examine how these modern developments in finance theory are applied to project evaluation. The paper is divided into tw...
