Application of Group Tools in Production of Printed and Laminated Cardboard Packaging for Total In-process Time Reduction

Abstract One of the main issues in production is the share of total in-process time of a product. Over 85% of in-process time is throughput time and machine setup time. Operating tools in setup and throughput time are idle. There are no product value added operations in this period. Group technology brings solution in reduction of setup times and throughput times; it also deals with improvement of material handling operations and storage management, as well as increase in finished goods. Production is arranged in group- type layout, in such a manner that it corresponds to as much product groups as possible. Group technology saves time and effort in throughput setup by doing operations for a group of similar parts instead for each part individually. This paper analyses processes in which it is possible for group of parts to be treated on some operations at the same time. It is noted that the more flexibility in product and production management is achieved, setup, throughput and production time are reduced and the level of plan execution is higher, by making group tools and managing groups of product at the same time instead of individual group or product.
inTegRated and Innovative actions for sustainaBle Urban mobiliTy upgradE

City transport is facing the challenges posed by the new technologies and by the undergoing socioeconomic and demographic changes, seeking for more efficient solutions and mobility services tailored to citizens’ new travel behaviors and needs.
TRIBUTE project aims at creating and testing integrated innovative tools and actions in the Adriatic-Ionian (AI) cities, by means of the creation and the implementation of eight living labs on sustainable urban mobility. These will be the mean to discuss transport policies and solutions (best practices), and to share views about the future needs following a participatory approach involving governmental institutions, businesses, researchers, and citizens (i.e. the quadruple helix). The results will converge into eight action plans and pilot actions including innovative and sustainable solutions ranging from innovative public transport and on-demand responsive services using electric vehicles, to “green” cycling routes network and integrated management systems of public transport and cars along highly congested corridors.
In so doing, TRIBUTE will promote transnational cooperation between public authorities and their transport entities, allowing for the creation of a transnational strategy devoted to policymakers and planners towards new mobility agendas for sustainable, integrated, and inclusive transport system in the AI Region.
Memories of Jewish Life: From Italy to Jerusalem, 1918-1960

Memories of Jewish Life: From Italy to Jerusalem, 1918-1960 By Augusto Segre. Translated and with an Introduction by Steve Siporin. (Norman: University of Nebraska Press, 2008. Pp. xxix + 507, illustrations, maps, forward, notes, glossary, references, index. $40.00 cloth.)In June of 1999 I accepted my first position as rabbi for a small synagogue on the west coast of Florida. I understood that women were still pioneers where the rabbinate was concerned; what I had not planned on was the confusion regarding my Italian heritage. This is how it happened. A call came to the synagogue. A congregant was eager to speak with me about a comment made to her by her neighbor. The conversation went something like this:Rabbi, what is your 'real' last name?Aiello, I responded.No, the caller continued, What is the name you were born with?I responded,  Aiello is my father's name, the name I grew up with.But that's said the caller.Yes. I confirmed.The caller continued, My neighbor was right. You're Italian, so you can't be Jewish!How well I can relate to the magnificent memoir Memories of Jewish Life, by the late Augusto Segre (translated by Steve Siporin from the Italian Memorie di vita ebraica). In this weighty volume that begins with Segre's youthful experiences during the post ghetto/pre-war years of World War II in Casale Monferrato, an idyllic paese in Italy's north, through the destruction of Italian Jewish life during the Fascist period, one theme remains constant throughout. That theme is the rich cultural and religious experience that is often unknown to Ashkenazic Jews of Eastern European origin, but that is unique to Italian Jews.Living and working as an Italian Jew in the world's most recognizable Catholic country, my experiences today mirror many of those described by Segre himself. In a delightful chapter on the daily ups and downs of Segre's father's life as a rabbi in Casale Monferrato (chpt. 3, It's Not Always Easy to Become a Rabbi), Segre offers a bird's eye view of how tradition and title can become almost insurmountable obstacles to community service and where a liberal approach to Jewish practice was considered assimilation-a situation that exists even today in modern Jewish Italy.Decimated as our numbers were during the years of the Holocaust in Europe, much more has been written about the suffering of the Jews in Poland, Germany, and Russia. Now, thanks to Segre's documentation, we learn the extent of the Shoah as it affected Italian Jews. Segre describes the beginnings of Italian fascism where, in the early years of the regime, Mussolini and his government were not openly anti-Semitic. In fact, many Italian Jews, including my own Uncle Felice, were early supporters of what appeared to be a government dedicated to sound economic principles.Segre describes the shock felt by Italian Jews when the racial laws, similar to the discriminatory practices enacted in Nazi Germany, where forced on them. …
SMALL CELL DETECTION METHOD AND APPARATUSES USING THE SAME

The present disclosure provides a method of performing a small cell detection, a small cell base station using the same method, and a mobile electronic device using the same method. The method and the device would perform functions including a user equipment (UE) detecting a discovery signal from a small cell base station (BS) over a schedulable resource in a Macro cell frequency, the user equipment transmitting a detection report to a Macro cell BS in response to detecting the discovery signal, the UE receiving a measurement command to measure a small cell BS in the small cell frequency, and generating and transmitting the measurement report after measuring the small cell BS in the small cell frequency.
Reproducibility in Rehydroxylation of Ceramic Artifacts

Since its introduction in 2009, application of the rehydroxylation (RHX) technique for dating fired-clay ceramics has been controversial, with very few satisfactory dating results collected in the interim. The stability and efficiency of this technique has been called into question by several investigators in the last few years, who have struggled to reproduce and validate this new dating method. Based on our new mass gain measurements for ca. 2000–7000 yrs old ceramic artifacts, the reproducibility in the RHX process rate is analyzed and discussed. Timespan analysis was performed, and age uncertainty related to RHX dating technique was evaluated by considering the error propagation. The results show poor reproducibility of the RHX process in the samples of the same origins, which give new evidence for a revision of the RHX protocols.
Philosophical foundations of topological explanations

This project develops a philosophical account of a new kind of explanations that recently became prominent in neuroscience. On this approach, systems such as brain are represented as networks of their elements and their interactions. The explanation is then given in terms of features of connectedness (that is why it is called topological) of a network representing a system. 
The aim of this project is to develop a comprehensive account of topological explanations and to systematically introduce it to the mainstream debates in philosophy of mind and philosophy of neuroscience. Doing so, will allow us to come in a position to solve a set of some of the most vexing problems in these two major areas of philosophy, such as transparency of explanations in philosophy of mind and universality of explanations in philosophy of neuroscience.
The novelty, originality and timeliness of my project is that it provides a new and compelling way of looking at how a major set of problems in philosophy of mind and philosophy of neuroscience is both formulated and addressed in the light of the new way of doing science. This will be accomplished by developing a systematic framework for understanding how target systems and phenomena are represented in topological explanations (models), what are the constraints on what is represented (explanatory limits), and by showing how exactly topological explanations provide better basis for the transparency and universality of explanations.
Use of higher thromboelastogram transfusion values is not associated with greater blood loss in liver transplant surgery

Plasma-containing products are given during the pre-anhepatic stage of liver transplant surgery to correct abnormal thromboelastogram (TEG) values and prevent blood loss due to coagulation defects. However, evidence suggests that abnormal TEG results do not always predict bleeding. We questioned what effect using higher TEG values to initiate treatment would have on blood loss. A single transfusion protocol was used for all patients who underwent liver transplantation between 2007 and 2010. Thirty-eight patients received coagulation products when standard TEG cutoff values were exceeded, whereas another 39 patients received coagulation products when the TEG values were 35% greater than normal. The results of postoperative coagulation tests for total blood loss and the use of blood products were compared for the 2 groups. When the critical TEG values for transfusion were higher, significantly fewer units of fresh frozen plasma (5.58 ± 6.49 versus 11.53 ± 6.66 U) and pheresis platelets (1.84 ± 1.33 versus 3.55 ± 1.43 U) were used. There were no differences in blood loss or postoperative blood product use. In conclusion, the use of higher critical TEG values to initiate the transfusion of plasma-containing products is not associated with increased blood loss. Further testing is necessary to identify what TEG value predicts bleeding due to a deficit in coagulation factors.

The 2020 biomass burning season in Brazil was marked by an unprecedented amount of fire counts across the Pantanal biome, which led to high levels of air pollution within the biome and downwind areas. Large amount of fire counts was also detected in the Amazon Forest during 2020 compared with the recent years. However, the contribution of Pantanal fire emissions to the regional smoke plume was speculated to rival the contribution of fire emissions from Amazon. Aiming to contextualise the 2020 biomass burning season focusing on the unprecedented role of Pantanal, the present study's main goal is to analyse the recent biomass burning seasons in Brazil looking at the fire counts, the regional smoke plume and its impact on surface solar radiation (SSR). The focus is on the biomes most affected by the recent biomass burning events, Amazon forest, Cerrado and especially Pantanal. To characterise the regional smoke plume we analysed aerosol optical depth, single scattering albedo and its impact on the solar radiation reaching the surface. The influence of interannual variability of the wind at 850 hPa on the transport of the regional smoke plumes was also explored. In 2020, the regional smoke plume covered an area well above 6 million km2, the largest area in the last six years, but equivalent to the observed in a more remote past, as in 2007 and 2010. However, from the point of view of Pantanal, 2020 was an unprecedented year, not due to the amount of smoke over the biome, but regarding the biome contribution to the regional smoke plume. The number of fire counts was 3.4 times higher than the mean value considering the period from 2003 to 2020. The entire biome was continuously covered by a thick smoke layer from September to October, which resulted in a monthly mean deficit of surface solar radiation up to 300 Wm−2. Additionally, the 2020 regional smoke plume presented higher optical absorption when compared with the recent years plumes, which could be related to the Pantanal larger fire emission. However, current knowledge on optical and radiative properties of smoke aerosols from Pantanal is limited compared to the one resultant from Amazon and Cerrado fire emissions, which prevent a definitive conclusion.
In situ diagnostics for PEM fuel cells at the National Physical Laboratory

The UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed a range of advanced in situ diagnostic techniques to support research into mitigation strategies for critical PEM fuel cell (PEMFC) degradation mechanisms. Recent innovations include a new reference electrode configuration that for the first time allows mapping of the electrode potential across the active area of an operating PEMFC; a novel technique for simultaneous measurement of active catalyst area in each cell in a fuel cell stack; a world-first measurement of the relative humidity profile in the gas channels of a working PEMFC; and a non-invasive thermal imaging technique for detection of hotspots. In addition to providing valuable data on performance and durability, these in situ measurement techniques are being used to validate a 3D fuel cell model under development at NPL, a powerful design optimisation tool that will be available to industry in an accessible software platform.

MICROBIAL ARACHIDONIC ACID (ARA) FOR USE IN MARINE FEED

A marine feed composition is described comprising microbially derived arachidonic acid (ARA) or ARA in the form of a triglyceride. The ARA is suitably produced by a fungus, such as of the genus Mortierella, although the feed composition itself is free of microbial cells. These forms of ARA have been found to give better growth and pigmentation promotion in marine organisms (shrimps and fish) than corresponding phospholipid forms of ARA from fish oil. The ARA can be in the form of an oil, e.g. an oil-in-water emulsion or may first be fed to larvae, rotifers or nauplii which are themselves included in a composition as "live" feed for larger organisms.
Assessing the impact of alumina nanoparticles in an anaerobic consortium: methanogenic and humus reducing activity

The impact of γ-Al(2)O(3) nanoparticles (NP) on specific methanogenic activity (SMA) and humus reducing activity (HRA) in an anaerobic consortium was evaluated. SMA in sludge incubations without γ-Al(2)O(3) was always higher compared with those performed in the presence of 100 g/L of γ-Al(2)O(3). Nevertheless, the SMA in incubations with γ-Al(2)O(3) was not completely inhibited, indicating that some methanogenic microorganisms were physiologically active even in the presence of γ-Al(2)O(3) NP during the incubation period (~400 h). SMA and HRA of the anaerobic consortium were also conducted in the presence of γ-Al(2)O(3) NP coated with humic acids (HA). Microbial HA reduction occurred 3.7-fold faster using HA immobilized on γ-Al(2)O(3) NP (HA(Imm)), compared with the control with suspended HA (HA(Sus)). Furthermore, immobilized HA decreased the toxicological effects of γ-Al(2)O(3) NP on methanogenesis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed cell membrane damage in those sludge incubations exposed to uncoated γ-Al(2)O(3) NP. In contrast, cell damage was not observed in incubations with HA-coated γ-Al(2)O(3) NP. Methanogenesis out-competed microbial humus reduction regardless if HA was HA(Imm) or HA(Sus). The present study provides a clear demonstration that HA immobilized in γ-Al(2)O(3) NP are effective terminal electron acceptor for microbial respiration and suggests that HA could mitigate the toxicological effects of metal oxide NP on anaerobic microorganisms.
Die Branzilla (1906)

Es handelt sich um eine der bedeutendsten Novellen Heinrich Manns aus der Schaffensperiode 1900–1914. Die Geschichte spielt in Italien in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Branzilla ist eine Sängerin, der jedes Gefühl fremd ist; sie opfert ihrer Kunst das eigene Leben sowie das Leben der anderen und nutzt die Gefühle der Mitmenschen schamlos aus.
Electronic Interactions between “Pea” and “Pod”: The Case of Oligothiophenes Encapsulated in Carbon Nanotubes

One of the most challenging strategies to achieve tunable nanophotonic devices is to build robust nanohybrids with variable emission in the visible spectral range, while keeping the merits of pristine single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). This goal is realized by filling SWNTs ("pods") with a series of oligothiophene molecules ("peas"). The physical properties of these peapods are depicted by using aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and other optical methods including steady-state and time-resolved measurements. Visible photoluminescence with quantum yields up to 30% is observed for all the hybrids. The underlying electronic structure is investigated by density functional theory calculations for a series of peapods with different molecular lengths and tube diameters, which demonstrate that van der Waals interactions are the bonding mechanism between the encapsulated molecule and the tube.
Bedeutung klinischer Studien für die Chirurgie

Clinical trials play a key role in patient care, academic education and research in surgery. Without valid studies the practice of evidence-based medicine is limited. Surgery is supported through funding by the German Ministry of Education and Research to establish an infrastructure for clinical trials. So far seven universities have worked together in a network since 2007 and successfully obtained funding for six large randomized trials from a program existing since 2004. Until now 2,249 patients have been randomized within 11 trials and 910 patients have been treated at local hospitals without academic responsibilities. An increase in the interest in clinical trials in daily practice has resulted through the certification of hospitals for special treatment that specifies that at least 5% of all patients are included in clinical trials.
Staphylococcus Aureus carriage and long-term Rituximab treatment for Granulomatosis with polyangiitis

Objective. Chronic nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) increases the risk of relapse while Rituximab (RTX) is an effective agent for inducing and maintaining remission in patients with Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). We investigated whether B cell depletion and hypogammaglobulinemia that occur during RTX treatment increase the risk of chronic SA nasal carriage and subsequent disease flares, in GPA patients on long-term RTX maintenance therapy. Methods. Retrospective cohort study from a disease registry involving 29 GPA patients receiving RTX maintenance (median RTX dose of 9 g) during a median period of 49 months. Nasal swabs were collected prior and during RTX for a median of 3 and 9 swabs respectively. Persistent SA nasal carriage was defined with the presence of SA in more than 75% of nasal swabs. Results. SA nasal carriage did not change during RTX (p = 0.297). However, the rate of positive nasal swabs in GPA patients with transient SA nasal carriage during RTX maintenance increased from 0 prior RTX to 0.42 during RTX (p = 0.017). Persistent SA nasal carriage did not increase the risk of relapses (p = 0.844), of hypogammaglobulinemia (p = 0.122) and of severe infections (p = 0.144), but reduced the risk of chronic infections (p = 0.044). Change in SA carriage status during RTX did not influence the risk of relapses (p = 0.756), hypogammaglobulinamia (p = 0.474) and infections, either severe (p = 0.913) or chronic (p = 0.121). Conclusion. Long-term RTX maintenance therapy in GPA patients did not significantly influence SA nasal carriage status. Persistent SA carriage during long-term RTX treatment did not seem to increase the risk of relapses, but seemed to decrease the risk of hypogammaglobulinemia associated chronic infections.
InSAR Observation for the Surface Displacements at Mt. Etna between 2003 and 2007

This research is mainly devoted to InSAR observations using Poly-Interferogram Rate and Time-series Estimator (π-rate) software to investigate continuous surface displacement at Mt. Etna (Sicily), Italy between 2003 and 2007. Using ascending and descending SAR images produced by European Space Agency’s ENVISAT, we generate a set of interferograms which are used to determine the deformation history of Etna from 2003 to 2007. Using (π-rate), we can generate the InSAR time-series and ratemap while minimizing errors induced by the satellites orbit and atmospheric phase delays. During the period of 2003-2007, three separate eruptions were observed. In order to explain the deformation, we solve three displacement rate for 2003-2005, 2006 and 2007. As expected, the result suggests that displacement rates are not constant with respect to time. During 2006 the volcano appeared to switch from a period of deflation to a period of inflation. These results highlight the importance of InSAR for generating deformation time-series around Mt. Etna, and with the application of numerical models these results can be used to estimate the amount of magma moving in the subsurface.
Opercular myoclonic-anarthric status epilepticus: A report of two cases

Opercular myoclonic-anarthric status epilepticus (OMASE) is an uncommon disorder of diverse etiology. This condition is characterized by fluctuating cortical dysarthria associated with epileptic myoclonus involving glossopharyngeal musculature bilaterally. We report two cases of OMASE of vascular etiology in adults. In both patients, ictally clonic expression was consistent with epilepsia partialis continua and bilateral, symmetrical involvement of soft palate in one patient and tongue, lips, chin and inferior jaw in both patients due to bilateral projections of the inferior corticonuclear pathways. The inferior rolandic area of dominant and high frontal region in non-dominant hemispheres were involved by an epileptogenic lesion of vascular etiology, which was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging of brain and single photon emission computerized tomography. Carotid Doppler study showed thrombosis of internal carotid artery in both patients, suggestive of an embolic origin. Early recognition of OMASE is important for early management of carotid occlusive disease.
