Many terminologies are used in France for coding cancer diagnoses (ICD-10 for Diagnosis Related Groups, ICDO3 in cancer registries, ADICAP for pathological anatomy). This heterogeneity largely hinders the use of registries’ data. It is thus necessary to integrate the diagnostic terminologies in oncology into a unified and structured system. The NCI Thesaurus is an international terminology, whi...

This paper lays out a road map for computer-integrated design and manufacture of building-specific cladding systems, describing the key implementation phases and highlighting domains (supply chain organization, software vendors, suppliers, process modellers, etc) involved in each phase. It takes a holistic look at the way forward, identifying that such a long-term transformation will need to be...

Mobile manufacturing is an enabler to increase the possibility to change and to adapt to altering needs, where the geographical position is not fixed. The main idea with the mobile manufacturing concept is to easily and quickly reuse manufacturing capacities between different orders or projects. This paper examines the concept of mobile manufacturing system by addressing issues related to manuf...

In demonstration, speakers use real-world activity both for its practical effects and to help make their points. The demonstrations of origami mathematics, for example, reconfigure pieces of paper by folding, while simultaneously allowing their author to signal geometric inferences. Demonstration challenges us to explain how practical actions can get such precise significance and how this meani...

Lean manufacturing is an important aspect used by the current companies to compete in the market. The high cost of production in many sectors has forced companies to offer their products at high prices thus failing to attract customers. Small and medium sized enterprises in Indian electronic and electrical industry face high competition challenges from international companies thus, application ...

In the envisioned future Smart Grid, ICT will be incorporated into the power system at all domains in order to improve the operation and management. The incorporation of ICT must be systematic and incremental. One enabler of this is a well-designed and shared information model. IEC61970-301 Common Information Model (CIM) standard exists for the power system. However, it has some drawbacks that ...

Feed was first pelleted in the US in the early 1900’s. All commercial broilers & turkeys are fed feed that has been pelleted, a process which has not really changed much over these many years. In fact, the exact economic benefit may not be well defined. Feed mills exist today as part of all integrated operations, and are thought of as a necessary, major cost center. Most have worked hard to red...

This paper presents several characterizations of a local α-times integrated C-semigroup {T(t); 0 ≤ t < τ} by means of functional equation, subgenerator, and well-posedness of an associated abstract Cauchy problem.We also discuss properties concerning the nondegeneracy of T(·), the injectivity of C, the closability of subgenerators, the commutativity of T(·), and extension of solutions of the as...

In this article, we revisit a foundation sustainability framework and argue that integrated sustainability indicators are needed to enable the integrated reporting process. We develop Corporate Sustainability Indicators (CSI) for a major Australian diversified resources firm and engage with expert stakeholders in determining the indicators’ value and explanatory capacity. Importantly, these typ...

Product innovation is a process of knowledge and technology resource integration. This paper mainly researches the process and realization of product integrated innovation based on function. Several function integrated methods are presented, and the principle solutions are selected and evaluated based on extend effect model. The process model for product integrated innovation is proposed, which...
