It is widely agreed that small scale enterprises (SSEs) used to play a crucial role in achieving the industrial and economic development. Though SSEs play indispensable economic role, studies are limited to analyze the external factors that affect the growth of SSEs independently. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to examine the effect of external firm factors influencing small scale ma...

Na-ion solid-state electrolytes (Na-SSEs) exhibit high potential for electrical energy storage owing to their densities and low manufacturing cost. However, mechanical properties that are critical maintaining structural stability at the interface still insufficiently understood. In this study, a machine learning-based regression model was developed predicting of Na-SSEs. As training set, 12,361...

As typical solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), Na1+xZr2SixP3?xO12 NASICONs provide an ideal platform for batteries (SSBs) that display higher safety and accommodate energy densities. The critical points achieving SSBs with efficiencies are to improve essentially the ionic conductivity reduce largely interfacial resistance between SSEs cathode materials, which would necessitate extremely high level...

Manufacturing expe riments with full automation for manufacturing of goods, developed, promoted and attempted in the 1980s, have failed for economic and technical reasons. It is now widely accepted that humans are vital to efficient and effective operation of manufacturing proce sses. Historically, human resources in most manufacturing environments have been m ismanaged, and while the re has be...

INTRODUCTION It has been noted that SARS transmission is characterised by a few super-spreading events (SSEs) giving rise to a disproportionate number of secondary cases. Clinical and environmental features surrounding the index cases involved were compared with cases in non- SSEs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data on 231 cases of probable SARS admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) were used. In...

The purpose of this study is to examine the morphological and kinematical changes of the uterus induced by electrical stimulation applied to the skin just above the second and fourth posterior sacral foramens (sacral surface electrical stimulation [ssES]) in 26 healthy subjects. Out of them, eight subjects who had severe pain subjectively during every menstruation received ssES just in menstrua...

This study was performed to clarify the characteristics of multiple channels for occupational health services (OHS) to small-scale enterprises (SSEs) in Japan employing less than 50 workers by reviewing relevant research papers. OHS were provided to SSEs by both government organizations and non-government organizations. Government organizations included the Japanese Industrial Safety & Health A...
