As an industrial economic organization with specific characteristics, industrial cluster is emerging with strong dynamism in global competition and driving the development of regional economy. However, industrial cluster can bring some negative impact on regional economy development. This paper tries to illustrate the reasons for the stagnation and degradation of resource-based regional industr...

extended abstract introduction the widespread and great inequalities in income generation, commonwealth, job opportunities and developmental facilities between urban and rural areas, have leaded the rural population towards the decline and in some instances the rural exodus. additionally, the rural poverty and deprivation has also caused major urban crisis, due to the vast rural migration and ...

Medical education institutions usually adapt industrial quality management models that measure the quality of the process of a program but not the quality of the product. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of industrial quality management models on medical education and students, and to highlight the importance of introducing a proper educational quality management model. Indust...

This article focuses on the estimation of population proportion when the study variable is sensitive in nature. Two implicit randomized response techniques are proposed where the unrelated trait can be chosen subjectively. In addition to unbiased estimation of population proportion and variance, an empirical study is conducted to inspect the relative efficiency facet of the proposed techniques....

This paper discusses 2 heuristic job rotation procedures for preventing industrial workers from being excessively exposed to ergonomics and safety hazards in their workplaces. The objective of the procedures is 2-fold: (a) to find a minimum number of workers required for the given set of jobs, and (b) to determine a set of safe worker-job-period assignments such that all workers' exposure to ha...

In this work is presented the application of qualitative models and statistical methods in quality control of production procedures of various components of an automatic industrial press machine. The methodology of creating a descriptive model of a manufacturing process is presented using qualitative methods of description and a qualitative modeling and simulation application (QMTOOL). The simu...

Policy for forming an industrial cluster, or industrial cluster policy, plays an important role in developing a region in East Asia. Industrial cluster policy is followed not only in Japan by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, but also in most countries in East Asia such as Malaysia and Singapore. Silicon Valley in the US and Bangalore in India are well-known success stories of devel...

Collapsed structures, typically as a result of earthquakes, may result in individuals entrapped by their limbs under heavy structural elements. In addition, access to living persons may be blocked by the deceased. Individuals are often critically ill by the time they are found, and rapid extrication is warranted. This and other factors may necessitate field amputation of an extremity on a livin...

The efficiency of designing a large-scale structure with many variables can often be increased by decomposing the design problem into less complex sub-problems. This article presents heuristic procedures of determining an appropriate design sequence to solve decomposed structural optimization problems using a sequential design (singlepass) strategy. One heuristic procedure exploits the monotoni...
