The delayed transformation: restructuring in the automobile, chemical, clothing and machine tool industries (1996)

In this paper, we focus on the results of the Belgian Trend Study. The intention of this study was to examine the prevalence of new production concepts within the widest possible range of companies in the automobile, the machine-tool, the chemical and the clothing industries. The Trend Study aimed to answer the following questions : is the Taylorist division of labour a thing of the past ? What are the alternatives ? Are shifts in the division of labour accompanied by another type of personnel policy, and do traditional relations have to make way for this new approach ? The methodological concept used had to guarantee that the findings at the level of each industry could be generalized. Though the picture emerging from the empirical data collected in the four industrial sectors is inevitably diverse, the data make it possible merely to suggest a 'neo' rather than a 'post' Taylorist or Fordist concept.
Ionic‐Liquid‐Based Acidic Aqueous Biphasic Systems for Simultaneous Leaching and Extraction of Metallic Ions (2017)

The first instance of an acidic aqueous biphasic system (AcABS) based on tributyltetradecyl phosphonium chloride ([P<sub>44414</sub> ][Cl]) and an acid is here reported. This AcABS exhibits pronounced thermomorphic behavior and is shown to be applicable to the extraction of metal ions from concentrated acidic solutions. Metal ions such as cobalt(II), iron(III), platinum(IV) and nickel(II) are found to partition preferentially to one of the phases of the acidic aqueous biphasic system and it is here shown that it successfully allows the difficult separation of Co<sup>II</sup> from Ni<sup>II</sup> , here studied at 24 and 50 °C.
Semi-transparent inverted organic solar cells (2009)

We will present efficient semi-transparent bulk-heterojunction [regioregular of poly(3-hexylthiophene): (6,6)-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester] solar cells with an inverted device architecture. Highly transparent ZnO and TiO2 films prepared by Atomic Layer Deposition are used as cathode interlayers on top of ITO. The topanode consists of a RF-sputtered ITO layer. To avoid damage due to the plasma deposition of this layer, a sputtering buffer layer of MoO<sub>3</sub> is used as protection. This concept allows for devices with a transmissivity higher than 60 % for wavelengths 650 nm. The thickness of the MoO3 buffer has been varied in order to study its effect on the electrical properties of the solar cell and its ability to prevent possible damage to the organic active layers upon ITO deposition. Without this buffer or for thin buffers it has been found that device performance is very poor concerning the leakage current, the fill factor, the short circuit current and the power conversion efficiencies. As a reference inverted solar cells with a metal electrode (Al) instead of the ITO-top contact are used. The variation between the PCE of top versus conventional illumination of the semi-transparent cells was also examined and will be interpreted in view of the results of the optical simulation of the dielectric device stack with and without reflection top electrode. Power conversion efficiencies of 2-3 % for the opaque inverted solar cells and 1.5-2.5 % for the semi-transparent devices were obtained under an AM1.5G illumination.
Reducing the latency of L2 misses in shared-memory multiprocessors through on-chip directory integration (2003)

Recent technology improvements allow multiprocessor designers to put some key components inside the processor chip, such as the memory controller and the network interface. In this paper, we exploit such an integration scale, presenting a new three-level directory architecture aimed at reducing the long L2 miss latencies and the memory overhead that characterize cc-NUMA machines and limit their scalability. The proposed architecture is based on the integration into the processor chip of the directory controller and a small first-level directory cache that stores precise information for the most recently referenced memory lines, as the means to reduce miss latencies. The second- and third-level directories are located near the main memory and they are only accessed when a directory entry for a certain memory line is not present in the first-level directory. This off-chip structure achieves the performance of a large and non-scalable full-map directory with a very significant reduction in the memory overhead. Using execution-driven simulations, we show that substantial latency reductions can be obtained by using the proposed directory architecture. Load, store and read-modify-write misses are significantly accelerated (latency reductions of more than 35% in some cases). These reductions translate into important improvements on the final application performance (reductions up to 20% in execution time).
Mechanism of the thickening reaction of polyester resins: Study on models (1984)

Abstract The thickening reaction of polyester resins is investigated using model compounds, diesters or polyesters of 1,2‐propanediol and phthalic acid with dihydroxy or dicarboxy end groups. Soluble magnesium acetylacetonate was found to be an effective thickener, and for the first time it was possible to study a thickening reaction in homogeneous media (THF solutions). The results are compared with those obtained with MgO. The proposed mechanism supposes that the central step consists of the formation and the aggregation of magnesium carboxylates in ionic areas, with entanglement of attached polyester chains. This fits our experimental results better than the hypothesis of coordination of magnesium carboxylates by ester or hydroxyl groups of the chains 2–6 or than the hypothesis of the formation of linear high molecular weight compounds. 7–9
Dual-edge triggered storage elements and clocking strategy for low-power systems (2005)

This paper describes the classification, detailed timing characterization, evaluation, and design of the dual-edge triggered storage elements (DETSE). The performance and power characterization of DETSE includes the effect of clocking at halved clock frequency and impact of load imposed by the storage element to the clock distribution network. The presented analysis estimates the timing penalty and power savings of a system based on DETSE, and gives design guidelines for high-performance and low-power application. In addition, the paper presents a class of dual-edge triggered flip-flops with clock load, delay, and internal power consumption comparable to the fastest single-edge triggered storage elements (SETSE). Our simulated results show that by halving the clock frequency, dual-edge clocking strategy can save about 50% of the power consumed by the clock distribution network, and relax the design of clock distribution system, while paying virtually no penalty in throughput.

Far-infrared absorption experiments on Co${\mathrm{F}}_{2}$ at 4.2 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K are extended to include all the uniform magnetic excitations below 300 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. The linear and nonlinear Zeeman effect, obtained with externally applied magnetic fields parallel and perpendicular to the spin direction, are also observed. A model of the uniform magnetic excitations derived from an effective $S=\frac{3}{2}$, ${\mathrm{Co}}^{2+}$ manifold is constructed by including a large orthorhombic anisotropy field, determined from ${\mathrm{Co}}^{2+}$ in Mg${\mathrm{F}}_{2}$, a simple isotropic bilinear exchange, and the independently determined spin-phonon coupling to the ${E}_{g}$ optical phonon. The model gives a satisfactory account of the energies, linear and nonlinear Zeeman effect, as well as the absorption intensities.
Boolean Functions, Projection Operators, and Quantum Error Correcting Codes (2008)

This paper describes a fundamental correspondence between Boolean functions and projection operators in Hilbert space. The correspondence is widely applicable, and it is used in this paper to provide a common mathematical framework for the design of both additive and nonadditive quantum error correcting codes. The new framework leads to the construction of a variety of codes including an infinite class of codes that extend the original ((5, 6, 2)) code found by Rains It also extends to operator quantum error correcting codes.

Optical properties of LaMgAl/sub 11/O/sub 19/:Cr,Nd (1986)

The optical properties of Cr-doped LaMgAl/sub 11/O/sub 19/ (LMAO:Cr) and LMAO:Cr,Nd have been measured. Evidence of Cr to Nd radiationless energy transfer was observed. Since LMAO:Nd may become a useful laser material, the prospect of further improving laser performance through Cr-sensitization is discussed.
Fast yield prediction for accurate costing of ICs (2002)

The paper reports an efficient method to determine the cost of manufacturing an IC based on estimates of its manufacturability. A large number of small samples of the device layout are used to estimate the critical area and hence the manufacturability of the device as a whole. The accuracy of these estimates is comparable to those obtained from a full extraction but uses only a fraction of the resources. The critical area is extracted using efficient O(n log n) polygon based algorithms that are not restricted to Manhattan style layouts and are therefore capable of processing commercial device layouts. The tool has been used successfully on a number of large industrial designs.

Studies of Cardio-Regulation in the Cockroach, <i>Periplaneta Americana</i> (1971)

ABSTRACT The heart of Periplaneta americana is segmentally innervated from the central nervous system by three types of neurone. Two of these types of neurones are neurosecretory; one type contains large granules, the other small granules. The segmental nerves are paired structures which join paired lateral cardiac nerve cords. Both types of neurosecretory neurone liberate their contents in the lateral cardiac nerve cords. The neurones with the small granules also synapse with the myocardium as well as with intrinsic cardiac neurones in the lateral cardiac nerve cords. The third type of neurone from the central nervous system is an ordinary efferent neurone and it synapses with the cardiac ganglion cells. A heart chamber is associated with about six cardiac ganglion cells, three on either side. These send processes up and down the lateral cardiac nerve cord and make synaptic contact with the myocardium. The myocardium is multiterminally and polyneuronally innervated, and electrical coupling between muscle fibres appears to be the rule. The fibres are spontaneously active and generate spike-like electrically excited responses. The timing of the electrically excited responses is influenced by the input from the cardiac ganglion cells which evoke a burst of synaptic potentials during diastole. Control of the cockroach heart appears to be organized on three levels. The basic rhythm is myogenic. The timing of the contractions is influenced by inputs from the intrinsic cardiac ganglion cells possibly via a feedback mechanism involving the contractions of the heart muscle. Finally, the activities of the heart muscle and the cardiac ganglion cells are influenced by inputs from the central nervous system.
Lessons Learned from a Workshop on Relationship Building (2009)

Openness and trust are key elements to sustaining any successful client-supplier relationship. When the relationship is transitioning from being arms-length to evolving into a true partnership, it is critical to establish a shared understanding of not only the current state, but also of the expected future state. A workshop organized and facilitated by a neutral party, with the senior leadership of both organizations provides an ideal means for articulating implicit assumptions and surfacing hidden challenges such that an actionable vision can be created. Using a recent workshop held with both EuroTel and IndiaCo, the key elements of the workshop are discussed, along with the lessons learned. Moreover, this workshop provides further insight into the mechanics of the evolution and governance of outsourcing relationships.

The Composite OLAP-Object Data Model: Removing an Unnecessary Barrier (2006)

OLAP and object data models represent different logical concepts and structures, and therefore separate database systems with different query languages were developed based on these models. We show in this paper that it is desirable and possible to combine these models to represent realistic modeling requirements. We define in this paper an OLAP-object data model that combines the main characteristics of OLAP and object data models in order to represent their functionalities in a common framework. We use three different types of object classes: primitive, regular and composite. In the OLAP-object data model, primitive and regular classes which represent object structures can be used for form composite classes that represent OLAP structures. We define a query language that uses path structures to facilitate data navigation and data manipulation. The proposed language uses the concept of an anchor. An anchor is an object class (primitive, regular or composite) that is selected as a starting node from which paths structures can be formed to express queries. The power of the proposed query language is illustrated through numerous examples. The syntax and semantics of the proposed language are developed
The impact of cyanobacteria on growth and death of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria (2011)

Climate change may cause increased microbial growth in water sources and more knowledge is required on how this may affect the hygienic water quality, i.e., whether increased occurrence of cyanobacteria and algae may stimulate the growth rate of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria. Laboratory experiments were performed to investigate if the presence of the cyanobacteria Anabanea lemmermannii and Microcystis aeruginosa affected the survival and growth rate of the opportunistic pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the faecal indicators Escherichia coli and coliforms. Cyanobacteria were cultured in bottles containing the nutrient-poor medium 02. Sewage, A. hydrophila or P. aeruginosa was added to cyanobacterial cultures and the bacterial growth and survival was followed. E. coli and coliforms from sewage died within few days and the decay rate was not affected by the presence of cyanobacteria. The presence of Anabaena stimulated the growth rate of P. aeruginosa, but had no effect on the growth rate of A. hydrophila. Microcystis had no effect on the growth rate of P. aeruginosa and an inhibiting effect on the growth rate of A. hydrophila.

Photooxidation of Ethanol on Fe−Ti Oxide Particulates (1998)

Previous studies have indicated that metal oxide particulates such as fly ash can display significant activity toward photooxidation of oxygenates in the troposphere. In some cases the reaction rates approach those characteristic of purely homogeneous mechanisms. Oxides of Fe and Ti appear to play the most important role, but the state of aggregation of these metals remains poorly characterized on tropospheric particulates. The present work seeks to elucidate certain aspects of the reaction mechanism by relating kinetic measurements on synthetic Fe−Ti oxides to surface composition and oxidation state. In the case of ethanol photooxidation, increasing the ratio of Ti to Fe generally tends to increase the rate and steer selectivity away from acetaldehyde formation toward CO2 production. However, both activity and selectivity correlate only modestly with surface composition and with surface oxidation state. Instead, structural effects play a key role in governing the reaction path.

The trans-selective hydrosilylation of ynones (1) yields beta-silylated enones (2) that undergo a benzylic 1,4-rearrangement/cyclization reaction in the presence of base, yielding 2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxasiloles (3).
Decomposition of Ammonia in IGCC Fuel Gas Streams (1996)

The main objective of the research work is to develop technically feasible and potentially low cost processes to decompose NH{sub 3} present in coal gases at high temperatures upstream of the gas turbine. Specific objectives of the work include development of NH3 decomposition processes applicable to both air-blown and oxygen-blown coal gasification-based combined cycle power plants, Ammonia decomposition tests were carried out in a bench-scale tubular flow reactor. The flow system includes feed gas supply with flow control and pressure regulation, preheater and reactor, heaters, monitoring and control of system temperature and pressure, and feed and product analysis instrumentation. Non-catalytic NH{sub 3} decomposition tests were carried out in both Alloy RA-330 and quartz reactors. Catalytic tests were conducted only in the quartz reactor.
Electron Microscopic Immunogold Localization of Salivary Mucins MG1 and MG2 in Human Submandibular and Sublingual Glands (2003)

The human salivary mucins MG1 and MG2 are well characterized biochemically and functionally. However, there is disagreement regarding their cellular and glandular sources. The aim of this study was to define the localization and distribution of these two mucins in human salivary glands using a postembedding immunogold labeling method. Normal salivary glands obtained at surgery were fixed in 3% paraformaldehyde-0.1% glutaraldehyde and embedded in Lowicryl K4M or LR Gold resin. Thin sections were labeled with rabbit antibodies to MG1 or to an N-terminal synthetic peptide of MG2, followed by gold-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG. The granules of all mucous cells of the submandibular and sublingual glands were intensely reactive with anti-MG1. No reaction was detected in serous cells. With anti-MG2, the granules of both mucous and serous cells showed reactivity. The labeling was variable in both cell types, with mucous cells exhibiting a stronger reaction in some glands and serous cells in others. In serous granules, the electron-lucent regions were more reactive than the dense cores. Intercalated duct cells near the acini displayed both MG1 and MG2 reactivity in their apical granules. In addition, the basal and lateral membranes of intercalated duct cells were labeled with anti-MG2. These results confirm those of earlier studies on MG1 localization in mucous cells and suggest that MG2 is produced by both mucous and serous cells. They also indicate differences in protein expression patterns among salivary serous cells.
