There are various approaches to sorting alloys. Perhaps the most simple method and one which is in greatest use today is hand sortation, which is normally a rather inaccurate process. An opportunity exists to recover lowgrade nonferrous scrap by sorting it into various alloys with high accuracy by applying spectrographic analysis techniques. This article presents an alternative method for scrap...

Fully automated sortation processes play a crucial role in modern distribution networks of the parcel service industry. In this context, the paper on hand systematically investigates di erent design alternatives of closed-loop tilt tray sortation conveyors. Especially, the number of loading stations for feeding parcels into a conveyor system and the relation to the subordinate decision problem ...

Area-based markers of deprivation (e.g., postal codes) are commonly used to identify groups of people with low socioeconomic status (SES); the validity of this approach, however, remains unknown. In this study, we determined the accuracy of using income quintile groups calculated on the basis of the median family income of each forward sortation area (1996 Canadian census) to identify those liv...

BACKGROUND We examined the association between personal bankruptcy filing and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rates in Canada. METHODS Between 2002 and 2009, aggregate and yearly bankruptcy and AMI rates were estimated for 1,155 forward sortation areas of Canada. Scatter plot and correlations were used to assess the association of the aggregate rates. Cross-lagged structural equation models...
