Over the last 20 years, rapid development of high-speed Chinese trains has provided valuable guidelines to countries and companies eager develop their complex product system (CoPS) sectors. CoPS refers high cost technology-intensive systems, networks, infrastructure engineering constructs, services. Although established studies highlight importance economy a country, especially those that have ...

Developed an integrated intellectual computerized system of ecological-economic monitoring, modeling, and managing the life cycle of the products of technogenic enterprises of transport engineering, which is presented in the form of a 3-equation structure, functioning in conditions of instability. The proposed paradigm system life cycle management applicable to any other control system of large...

Supplier selection has significant impact on life cycle cost of complex product system (CoPS). In this paper, a new variant of supplier selection problem named life cycle supplier selection of CoPS (LSS&CoPS) problem is addressed. There are three kinds of choices for a manufacturer to complete a CoPS: self-made, purchasing the finished component and outsourcing. Different selection not only res...

Today's competitive environment is more knowledge intensive than ever, showing continuous shifts in business process that characterizes the current "Knowledge Age." In order to introduce KM and to develop the right culture for knowledge sharing, OMV E&P has embarked on an ambitious program. One of key KM initiatives has been to establish Communities of Practice (CoPs) which are rolled out to al...

In this paper, we explore a variant of the game Cops and Robber introduced by Bonato et al. where robber is invisible unless outside common neighborhood cops. The hyperopic cop number analogous to investigate bounds on quantity. We define small set relate minimum cardinality graph parameter number. consider diameter [Formula: see text] graphs, particularly join two as well Cartesian products.

Communities of practice (CoPs) play a critical role in delivery and sharing of knowledge. Apart from the easy expression of explicitly knowledge, the dynamic processes and complex interactions in online CoPs do mediate the creation and transfer of tacit knowledge as well. This is inferred from the many ways CoPs have revolutionalized the ways in which context-specific knowledge is shared virtua...

Purpose – This paper seeks to scope the nature and form of practices, understandings and institutional arrangements thatmight contribute to the successful ‘‘design’’ and continuity of Communities of Practice (CoP) in a state government department in Australia. The study aims to provide research evidence to support the design and establishment of a CoP based on systems thinking within this depar...

Testosterone deficiency has been correlated with increased cardiovascular diseases, which in turn has been associated with increased oxidative stress. Several studies have considered cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) as oxidative stress biomarkers, since some of them play pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory roles. We have previously described the cardioprotective effects of a dosahexaenoic aci...
