Nowadays, in modern societies, growing activities in construction affairs and their economic development have been resulted construction wastes and so much demolition in the past three decades. Most of these wastes have not been treated and therefore caused severe damages to the environment. In this research, after reviewing construction and demolition management methods and their accesso...

The work carried out has the purpose of improving and optimizing various industrial technical operations, such as preventive maintenance, taken here an example application, using Design for Disassembly (DfD) technique. Therefore, through four metaheuristic methods that have been chosen among most widespread in field (described below) to make a comparison between them, optimal disassembly sequen...

Design for disassembly (DFD) is an important design concept to make products more friendly for maintenance and remanufacturing practices. One of the important issues in DFD guidelines is related with the selection of the connectors used in the product. This paper evaluates the alternative connection types using the powerful analytic network process (ANP). The paper generates a complete ANP mode...

The softening of fleshy fruits, such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), during ripening is generally reported to result principally from disassembly of the primary cell wall and middle lamella. However, unsuccessful attempts to prolong fruit firmness by suppressing the expression of a range of wall-modifying proteins in transgenic tomato fruits do not support such a simple model. 'Delayed Fruit ...

DFD, when summed up simply, refers to architectural areas in which the structures are either temporary or occasionally timeless. A society, a public space, body of ideas can invest and embed itself structure, is one most important fields architecture since past. Temporary rapidly appear vanish, but they intended do so. Nowadays, there an urgent need for flexibility housing sector. It starts bec...
