A hybrid FRTOC-SA algorithm for product mix problems with fuzzy processing time and capacity

Identification and determination of products and their quantities according to available resources is called product mix problem in manufacturing plants. One of the efficient and easy to use algorithms for solving product mix problems in uncertainty conditions is Fuzzy Revised Theory of Constraints (FRTOC) that was proposed by Azadegan et al. (2011). Their algorithm had a complete neighborhood search. So, it needed a long process to calculate the best result when demands of products were too much. Therefore, according to abilities of simulated annealing (SA) algorithm, we proposed a hybrid algorithm based on FRTOC and SA. In other words, the SA method is used instead of searching all neighbors in FRTOC. Also, a numerical example is used to show the capabilities of the proposed algorithm in comparison with the FRTOC.
Linking BioBased Industry Value Chains Across the Alpine Region

The transition from a linear fossil-fuel based to a circular bio-based economy is a key EU objective. To achieve this objective, the Alpine Space (AS) regions have significant biomass resources, strong industry sectors, and knowledge centers. Unfortunately, no holistic cross-regional approach exists to connect all relevant actors. The huge potential remains untapped for lack of innovative bio-based value chains (VCs). Thus, the AS regions have a common challenge to bring together bio-feedstock producers, intermediates processors, product developers, brandowners, retailers and product end users to address pressing societal needs with novel cross-regional and sectorial value chains for implementing a circular bio-based economy. The project’s main objective is precisely to develop a cross-regional circular bio-based economic strategy that includes a roadmap and demonstrators for intelligently assessing, selecting and creating innovative VCs for the AS wood, agriculture, food/pharma and chemistry sectors. First, existing resources, actors and relevant policies are mapped to set up a cross-regional database. Second, a methodology (VC generator) is developed to match actors demand-oriented in new or alternative VCs. It enables new cluster activities for novel business development, and defining coherent data driven policies for stimulating the AS circular bio-based economy. Third, the project identifies previously untapped growth opportunities with demonstrators for each selected sector for the production of bio-based high added-value applications and products. Furthermore, a Masterplan on circular bio-based economy is delivered for establishing common framework conditions on innovation and data driven policy dialogues within the AS. The project targets all relevant stakeholders including, policy makers, cluster initiatives, sectoral agencies, research centres, SMEs and individual actors, who can benefit from the specific tools and engagement in the novel VCs.

During operation of a downhole system, acoustic slowness measurements are acquired around a borehole extending along a formation. Statistical analysis is performed on the acquired slowness measurements, whereby the maximum and minimum slownesses of the formation are determined.
C‐Alkylation of Secondary Alcohols by Primary Alcohols through Manganese‐Catalyzed Double Hydrogen Autotransfer

A new Mn-catalyzed alkylation of secondary alcohols with non-activated alcohols is presented. The use of a stable and well-defined manganese pincer complex, stabilized by a PNN ligand, together with a catalytic amount of base enabled the conversion of renewable alcohol feedstocks to a broad range of higher-value alcohols in good yields with water as the sole byproduct. The strategy eliminates the need for exogenous and detrimental alkyl halides as well as the use of noble metal catalysts, making the C-alkylation through double hydrogen autotransfer a highly sustainable and environmentally benign process. Mechanistic investigations support a hydrogen autotransfer mechanism in which a non-innocent ligand plays a crucial role.

Influences of adsorption/desorption of shale gas on the apparent properties of matrix pores

Abstract The adsorption/desorption effects impact the petro-physical properties of matrix pores during gas depressurizing production, such as effective pore radius, effective porosity, apparent permeability, which will further impact the gas flow regime. In this paper, the dynamic models of effective pore radius and apparent permeability under the action of gas adsorption/desorption are derived. The mathematical model of shale gas flow is established considering the effects of adsorbed gas on apparent properties and gas flow regime. After that, the model is solved and validated using a finite volume method and experimental and field data. Finally, the variations of apparent parameters of matrix pores and gas flow regimes during gas production, and the influences of adsorption on gas production are demonstrated. The results show that the effective pore radius, porosity and apparent permeability increase during gas production; the gas flow regime in stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) changes from slip flow to transition flow; if the impacts of adsorbed gas on gas production is overlooked, both original gas in place (OGIP) and gas production will be significantly overestimated. The cumulative gas production changes slightly as the adsorption layer thickness increases, but the gas recovery factor decreases.
Estimation of mean annual flood in New Zealand

The Rational Method of flood estimation is used in an exploratory study to calculate values of mean annual flood in New Zealand basins. To improve applicability of the method and accuracy of the results a power law formula for time of concentration as a function of length, slope and average Manning roughness coefficient of the main channel is derived. It is calibrated employing data from 25 basins with widely differing areas, rainfall intensities and catchment characteristics. The formula explains 88% of the variance between the logarithms of measured and predicted values. A table for calculating the value of the catchment factor (ratio of runoff to rainfall) is compiled which is also designed for use in New Zealand. Rainfall intensities with twoyear return periods are determined using the HIRDS(V3) computer programme. With these new estimators for time of concentration and catchment factor, application of the Rational Method to calculate mean annual flood yields a root mean square error (RMSE) of +/-27% between measured and predicted values for the 25 basins. Performance of the Rational Method is compared to that of the McKerchar-Pearson estimator for mean annual flood using data from a further 10 basins, giving RMSE values of +/-34% and +/-90% for the two approaches respectively. While further testing, calibration and development of the formulae is required, particularly regarding the computation of catchment factor values, application is relatively simple and the Method should result in a substantial improvement in both the accuracy of estimates of mean annual flood and the reliability of use of the index flood technique in ungauged New Zealand basins.
Effectiveness of foreign aid in sub-Saharan Africa: Does disaggregating aid into bilateral and multilateral components make a difference?

Inspired by the contradicting findings of studies on aid effectiveness and the recently emerging dissatisfaction of scholars with the methodologies of earlier works, this study took up the examination of the effectiveness of bilateral and multilateral aids on economic growth. To this end, the study applied the estimation technique of system-GMM (system - generalized method of moments) to panel data of 42 Sub-Saharan African countries collected from secondary sources for the years 1980 through 2007. For the data at hand, there was no evidence for the (conditional or unconditional) effectiveness of both kinds of aid. This result was robust to the use of alternative growth models. Bilateral aid on its own, or in interaction with policy, is ineffective at enhancing economic growth, regardless of whether one measures it relative to the recipients' gross domestic product or in per capita terms. The same holds for multilateral aid. This conclusion confines itself to the data at hand and thus gives no evidence about the effectiveness of the recently emerging aid modalities, which are argued to possess elements of better government accountability, better transparency and better recipient-ownership.
Functional organic nanocrystals for ultralong phosphorescence lifetime bioimaging applications

Recently, organic room-temperature phosphorescence materials (ORTPs) have gathered tremendous interest due to their high brightness and ultra-long lifetime (ULL) features, and ORTPs are useful in many advanced applications, including optoelectronics, bioimaging(BI), and photomedicine. However, at this early stage of development, processing of nanoform ORTPs and scalable synthesis lag behind other forms of ORTPs, leaving the chances for many applications nearly uncharted. Thus, the FUNCrystals project aims to develop functional ORTP nanocrystals (NCs) for two-photon phosphorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (2P-PLIM) BI applications. In particular, the project proposes 3 main activities that capitalize on the strength of the proposed experienced researcher and the host research group (Prof. Clemens Kaminski), in ORTP-NCs synthesis and 2P-PLIM usage. 1.Develop a synthesis process to control the size and shape of ORTP-NCs with high emission quantum yield (QY) and ULL. 2.Investigate the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties and biocompatibility analysis of ORTP-NCs. 3.Use the ORTP-NCs as nanoprobes in the 2P-PLIM to capture the high spatiotemporal and high contrast image in the primary Epithelial cell lines. The expected results will exploit the size and shape-dependent properties of the ORTP-NCs, aiming to demonstrate property performances that can elicit commercial interest in potential nanoprobes for 2P-PLIM bioimaging applications. This project's success will make a substantial contribution to one of the European Union's main concerns on developing nanotechnologies and advanced materials. Overall, this proposed multidisciplinary project brings benefits to both the applicant and the host institution(University of Cambridge) in terms of mutual knowledge transfer, joint publications, new collaborations, networking actions, and personal career development of the researcher as well as increased public awareness about research resulting from the ambitious outreach actions.
Delivery and deployment of Innovative solutions for Home Care by strengthening quadruple helix cooperation and applying principles of co-creation in territorial innovation ecosystems

Based on EC sources, there will be one in three Europeans over 65 by 2060, which makes the “Silver Economy” one of the quickest growing economic domains. Regions in CE reflect this trend in their RIS3 strategies. Huge portion of Silver Economy is represented by Home care solutions. They are mostly ICT based, so the acceptance by elderly care recipients is challenging. Therefore their involvement in the design process is crucial for the success.
One of the best methods is CO-CREATION, which is a specific sample of QUADRUPLE-HELIX (QH) approach inside of OPEN INNOVATION 2.0 (OI2.0) model. Unfortunately, the level of implementation of QH approach is rather low across the CE territories and the linkages are weak or not existing. This is the key challenge for HoCare 2.0 project.
It is addressed by the main objective, which is to foster the delivery and deployment of highly innovative solutions for social and health home care thanks to co-creation approaches. The aim is to deliver SYSTEMATIC CHANGE in the territorial innovation ecosystems and shift them towards Open Innovation  2.0.
To achieve it, the LINKAGES in territorial ecosystems, especially with Society helix, needs to be strengthened. HoCare 2.0 CO-CREATION LABS, their transregional network, common Strategy and Action plan, drawing the roadmap for further shift towards OI 2.0, will contribute to this. Sustainable change will happen if SMEs delivering Home care solutions and Public providers of health and social services will adapt co-creation approach. However, to adapt it, they need to understand the positive impact of it. Therefore the project provides 2 Tools (SME and Policy Tool) and conducts Pilots as Good practices, involving 12 SMEs and 6 Public providers of public services, using co-creation.
11 partners from 6 countries (including 5 Public partners) joined forces to be the catalyst of change towards Open Innovation 2.0 ecosystems and to boost implementation of RIS3 in their territories.
Substantiation of Concentration Level at Enrichment of Light Rare Gases

Dynamics of rare gases consumption is ahead of the technical capabilities of their production. Reserves of production growth of helium, neon, krypton, and xenon are associated with the expansion of the resource base. Entering of the distant sources of raw materials into the process chain dictates the decline in the share of impurities in the transported product side, improving of a single transport – production complex of gas concentrates recycling. While choosing a concentration technology and depth of treatment in each case it is necessary to take into account the distance between the source and the user of the gas feed, and the level of expenses for the creation and provision of new cryogenic technology.

Intelligent Techniques for Optimization, Modelling and Control of Power Management Systems Efficiency

This research analyzes the issue of the climate change and smart grid solutions from the point of view of the efficiency in the field of the power electronics. The power distribution of the Spanish electric system has changed over the years. Moreover, it will further change with the introduction of new concepts, like the smart grids, opening new possibilities for the distribution of energy. In this case, the power electronics aims to interconnect the different parts of the electric system and controlling the energy that flows from point to point. Thus, the optimization, modelling and control of the power electronics converters have become a trending topic nowadays. With the introduction of new technologies almost in every field, the intelligent techniques can be widely used in optimization and control of the power converters, improving the efficiency and control. A classification algorithm to detect the operation mode based on intelligent techniques has been developed and implemented. This intelligent model is able to differentiate between the two operation modes, hard-switching (HS) and soft-switching (SS). The obtained results provide high accuracy in the detection, making possible the improvement of the converter efficiency with the proposed model.
For a Psychosocial Approach to Decent Work

The notion of decent work was developed by the International Labour Organization 20 years ago. The notion is now well known by lawyers, economists, and sociologists, and even if it appears difficult to define it clearly, it constitutes a useful general framework with which to think of the relationships between policy practices, work market globalization, and human rights principles. The fields of career guidance and counseling psychology are highly concerned by questions of social justice and human rights that people experience through work. Career choices being made in a liquid and unstable society, incompatibility between individualist values and collective work issues, increasing psychological health problems at work, work-family balance in precarious job situations, the growing necessity of mobility, adaptability or flexibility… all of these questions are at the heart of current career counseling practices, and concern the decent work debate. Nevertheless, the notion of decent work is not well developed in the field of vocational psychology. Despite its relevance, it is difficult to operationalize the policy and human rights principles during career counseling sessions. The article aims to explore the usefulness of the concept for career counselors, and to propose a psychosocial framework that incorporates decent work in career counseling practices. The first part of this article presents the theoretical bases of the notion of decent work and their possible use in the field of psychology. It deals with the necessity of a multilevel and psychosocial perspective, that takes into account both objective and subjective dimensions of decent work. The second part focuses on a case study illustrating how the notion of decent work emerges during counseling sessions. Four levels of the work experience linked with subjective and objective dimensions of decent work are explored; the personal level, the activity level, the collective level, and the social level. Finally, the third part discusses and proposes a framework based on the analysis of the four dimensions of work (activity, trade, others and society) in order to integrate a psychosocial view of decent work into career counseling.
