The structure and development of energy consumption in European transition countries, i.e., 11 former socialistic republics including Croatia, which are now new EU members, are considered. For the last twenty years, transition countries have been in the processes of changing their social, economic and political structures with considerable influence on the energy sector. In these former sociali...

Trapezoids represent a significant category of tools among the innovative geometric implements in the lithic assemblages of European late glacial complexes, particularly those late Epigravettian industries from the Mediterranean region to the southern Ukrainian plain. The recen t recovery of several artifacts from two excavlllions in the Venetian Pre-Alps (northern Italy) prompted a large-scale...

Abstract – The paper considers end-use electricity consumption and efficiency trends in transition countries, i.e. ten former socialist states that are now new EU members, and the Republic of Croatia as a candidate country. For the last twenty years, transition countries are in the process of changing their social, economic and political structures with considerable influence on the electricity...

Filgrastim is an important protein that treats neutropenia which has significant clinical applications including a possible cure against cancer. However, despite its significant medical benefits, the large scale production of Filgrastim is still rare and is reported only by a handful of companies throughout the world. We present a techno-economic feasibility analysis for a recombinant human ana...

This paper aims to analyze the way in which the Greek press treats the socio-epistemic constitution of science and technology. By “socio-epistemic constitution” we mean the following dimensions: (a) techno-scientific methodology, (b) the social organization of the techno-scientific endeavor, and (c) the interactions of science and technology with other public spheres. Our methodology is based o...

This paper presents an economical assessment of the benefits introducing 5G technologies into pilot use cases pertaining to railroad transportation and energy sectors. For each pilots, undergone by EFACEC Engenharia e Sistemas Energia, respectively, under scope H2020 5Growth project, expenditure expected from capabilities over their on-going operations are evaluated regarding Portugal case, als...

Subtractive manufacturing (CNC machining) has high quality of geometric and material properties but is slow, costly and infeasible in some cases; additive manufacturing (RP) is just the opposite. Total automation and hence speed is achieved in RP by compromising on quality. Hybrid Layered Manufacturing (HLM) developed at IIT Bombay combines the best features of both these approaches. It uses ar...
