The astonishing efficiency with which living organisms build complex molecules from abundant starting materials has inspired chemists for centuries. Among the synthetic strategies that nature uses to achieve this efficiency, the combination of several enzymatic transformations in cascading sequences is of outstanding importance. With the rise of biocatalysis, researchers now have the tools at h...

The entire life cycle of a building include construction, operation, maintenance, demolition and removal, and the normal expected life span of a commercial building may up to 100 years. During this time span, building refurbishment is an important topical in facilities management but limited attempt has been made to study the sustainable refurbishment. In fact, refurbishment strategy should alw...

To gain the full benefit from this new business strategy, it must be fully embraced by top management. It is also important to understand that this concept may be more accurately described as lean thinking instead of lean production. Using the “lean thinking” terminology ensures that the concept is viewed as a total business model, including product development, design and sales. Lean thinking ...

Recently, there has been a lot of interest concerning remote-control construction robot manipulation in hazardous operation environments including construction sites. However, there are problems involving the method of remote-control in unstructured work environments such as construction sites. In this study, an improved MFR system is described, which helps a human operator to easily install co...

Together with great proliferation of online resources on the one hand and a striking lack of commercially published materials for specific ESP domains on the other, the ESP teacher needs to reflect on using Internet materials judiciously in the language classroom. An indispensable element of the teaching process in any context is effective resourcing, or the ability to find, evaluate and use re...

this article aims at strategic vision to technology and suggests a strategic planning for this purpose. the main emphasis in this article is on strategic report compilation in the framework of strategic vision and covers issues such as identification of strategic planning dimensions and strategic vision levels, technology priority setting, environment monitoring, focus on costumer needs, method...

In this article, we discuss research supporting the Strategic Instruction Model’sTM (SIM) effort to address higher order reasoning and thinking skills in two lines of programmatic research. We review the extant body of evidence supporting the two lines of the SIM library, the Content Enhancement Routines and a comprehensive reading program, and the impact that the materials have on high school ...

This paper presents a numerical strategy that allows to lower the costs associated to the prediction of the value of homogenized tensors in elliptic problems. This is done by solving a coupled problem, in which the complex microstructure is confined to a small region and surrounded by a tentative homogenized medium. The characteristics of this homogenized medium are updated using a self-consist...
