The Quality Management System as a Key Factor for Sustainable Development of the Construction Companies

The implementation of the quality management system (QMS) is an important milestone for any construction company. Sustainable development of the company and its competitiveness are directly dependent on the proper functioning of the QMS. Certification of Quality Management System according to ISO 9001 can help to maintain a long trusting relationship with consumers. The purpose of this study is consideration of the basic QMS implementation problems and choosing the certification body. The results of the study show that there is a lot of suggestions about how to obtain a certificate of quality, but there is no algorithm of actions for the implementation of the system design companies in the construction industry. It is therefore necessary to develop guidelines for the implementation of QMS, previously classified construction companies and determine the main parameters of the choice of certification bodies.
The effect of ISO quality management system standards on industrial property rights in Turkey

The aim of this study was to assess whether the systematical application of the following ISO quality management system standards: ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) ISO 22000 (Food Safety Management System) ISO 14001 (Environment Management System) ISO 13425 (Medical Device Quality Management System) ISO 27001 (Information Security Management System) and ISO 16949 (Automotive Quality Management System) have had an effect on the emergence of industrial property rights in Turkey. Information was collected about the number of ISO standard certification documents that Turkish organizations received in respect of these standards between the period of 2007 and 2013. For the same period, information about the number of granted patents, petty patents, trademarks and industrial designs in Turkey were also collected. The information was analyzed by year, industrial property right type and ISO standard. A Spearman correlation analysis was also conducted to determine the strength of association between the number of certification documents and the number of granted industrial property rights. The analysis showed that some of the ISO standards had either a positive or negative linear relationship with one or more of the granted industrial property right types. Although the total number of certification documents had decreased over the time period of the study, the number of granted industrial property rights in Turkey had increased over the same period indicating that the adoption of quality managment system standards may have led to an increase in national innovation in Turkey. This observation may help to improve innovation in other countries similar to Turkey.
Aquatic insect communities in and around the tropical streams of Kinabalu Park, Sabah, Malaysia

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of land use on aquatic insect communities in and around the streams of Kinabalu Park, Sabah, Malaysia. Five sampling stations were selected from pristine streams (S1 and S2) and streams in the vicinity of human activities (S3, S4, and S5) Aquatic insects were sampled using Surber net from June 2012 to January 2013. A total of 10360 individuals of aquatic insects from nine orders, 49 families, and 67 genera were collected. Order Coleoptera (27% Ephemeroptera (26% Trichoptera (24% were the common orders found in the streams of Kinabalu Park. Stenelmis spp. (12% was the dominant taxa, followed by Psephenus spp. (10% and Hydropsyche spp. (8% Pristine streams generally had higher total abundance, genera richness and diversity of aquatic insects. Based on the water parameters, all stations were classified as Class I. Biotic indices rated most stations were not impacted, but lower values were found in S3, S4, and S5. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) showed that water temperature, canopy cover, water velocity and stream width were the most influential environmental parameters on aquatic insect assemblages in the streams of Kinabalu Park.
Efficient Analysis of Systems Biology Markup Language Models of Cellular Populations Using Arrays.
Venue: ACS synthetic biology

The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) has been widely used for modeling biological systems. Although SBML has been successful in representing a wide variety of biochemical models, the core standard lacks the structure for representing large complex regular systems in a standard way, such as whole cell and cellular population models. These models require a large number of variables to represent certain aspects of these types of models, such as the chromosome in the whole cell model and the many identical cell models in a cellular population. While SBML core is not designed to handle these types of models efficiently, the proposed SBML arrays package can represent such regular structures more easily. However, in order to take full advantage of the package, analysis needs to be aware of the arrays structure. When expanding the array constructs within a model, some of the advantages of using arrays are lost. This paper describes a more efficient way to simulate arrayed models. To illustrate the proposed method, this paper uses a population of repressilator and genetic toggle switch circuits as examples. Results show that there are memory benefits using this approach with a modest cost in runtime.

Vitezslav Orel (1926 2015) Gregor Mendel's biographer and the rehabilitation of genetics in the Communist Bloc
Venue: History and philosophy of the life sciences

At almost 90 years of age, we have lost the author of the founding historical works on Johann Gregor Mendel. Vitezslav Orel served for almost 30 years as the editor of the journal Folia Mendeliana. His work was beset by the wider problems associated with Mendel's recognition in the Communist Bloc, and by the way in which narratives of the history of science could be co opted into the service of Cold War and post Cold War political agendas. Orel played a key role in the organization of the Mendel symposium of 1965 in Brno, and has made a strong contribution to the rehabilitation of genetics generally, and to championing the work of Johann Gregor Mendel in particular. With Jaroslav Krizenecky, he cofounded the Mendelianum in Brno, which for decades has served as an intellectual bridge between the East and West. Orel's involvement with this institution exposed him to dangers both during and after the Cold War.
Substrate temperature dependent bolometric properties of TiO2 x films for infrared image sensor applications

In this study, we investigated the substrate temperature (T S dependent bolometric properties on TiO 2 x films for infrared image sensor applications. The film crystallinity was changed from amorphous to rutile phase with increasing the T S The decrement of resistivity with temperature in TiO 2 x test devices confirms the typical semiconducting property. All the test pattern devices have linear I V characteristic performance which infers that the ohmic contact was well formed at the interface between the TiO 2 x and the Ti electrode. The resistivity, activation energy (E a and the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) values of the device samples were decreased up to 200 degC of T S The sample deposited at 200 degC had a significantly low 1/f noise parameter and a high universal bolometric parameter (b) However, at the substrate temperature of 250 degC, the E a TCR and the 1/f noise values were increased due to increase of the resistivity. The TCR and the 1/f noise values are proportional to the resistivity of TiO 2 x films. As a result, the low resistivity of TiO 2 x sample deposited at 200 degC is a viable bolometric material for uncooled IR image sensors.
Contribution of Bistability and Noise to Cell Fate Transitions Determined by Feedback Opening.
Venue: Journal of molecular biology

Alternative cell fates represent a form of non genetic diversity, which can promote adaptation and functional specialization. It is difficult to predict the rate of the transition between two cell fates due to the strong effect of noise on feedback loops and missing parameters. We opened synthetic positive feedback loops experimentally to obtain open loop functions. These functions allowed us to identify a deterministic model of bistability by bypassing noise and the requirement to resolve individual processes in the loop. Combining the open loop function with kinetic measurements and reintroducing the measured noise, we were able to predict the transition rates for the feedback systems without parameter tuning. Noise in gene expression was the key determinant of the transition rates inside the bistable range. Transitions between two cell fates were also observed outside of the bistable range, evidenced by bimodality and hysteresis. In this case, a slow transient process was the rate limiting step in the transitions. Thus, feedback opening is an effective approach to identify the determinants of cell fate transitions and to predict their rates.
Drosophila SETDB1 and caspase cooperatively fine tune cell fate determination of sensory organ precursor
Venue: Genes to cells devoted to molecular cellular mechanisms

Drosophila produce a constant number of mechanosensory bristles called macrochaetae (MC) which develop from sensory organ precursor (SOP) cells within a proneural cluster (PNC) However, what ensures the precise determination of SOP cells remains to be elucidated. In this study, we conducted RNAi screening in PNC for genes involved in epigenetic regulation. We identified a H3K9 histone methyltransferase, SETDB1/eggless, as a regulator of SOP development. Knockdown of SETDB1 in PNC led to additional SOPs. We further tested the relationship between SETDB1 and non apoptotic function of caspase on SOP development. Reinforcing caspase activation by heterozygous Drosophila inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1 (DIAP1) mutation rescued ectopic SOP development caused by SETDB1 knockdown. Knockdown of SETDB1, however, had little effect on caspase activity. Simultaneous loss of SETDB1 and caspase activity resulted in further increase in MC, indicating that the two components work cooperatively. Our study suggests the fine tuning mechanisms for SOP development by epigenetic methyltransferase and non apoptotic caspase function.
Probabilistic Safety Analysis of High Speed and Conventional Lines Using Bayesian Networks

A Bayesian network approach is presented for probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) of railway lines. The idea consists of identifying and reproducing all the elements that the train encounters when circulating along a railway line, such as light and speed limit signals, tunnel or viaduct entries or exits, cuttings and embankments, acoustic sounds received in the cabin, curves, switches, etc. In addition, since the human error is very relevant for safety evaluation, the automatic train protection (ATP) systems and the driver behavior and its time evolution are modelled and taken into account to determine the probabilities of human errors. The nodes of the Bayesian network, their links and the associated probability tables are automatically constructed based on the line data that need to be carefully given. The conditional probability tables are reproduced by closed formulas, which facilitate the modelling and the sensitivity analysis. A sorted list of the most dangerous elements in the line is obtained, which permits making decisions about the line safety and programming maintenance operations in order to optimize them and reduce the maintenance costs substantially. The proposed methodology is illustrated by its application to several cases that include real lines such as the Palencia Santander and the Dublin Belfast lines.
Assesment of Effectiveness of Food Safety Adoption within the Wine Industry in Karnataka, India

The objective of this study is to add a valuable recommendation to the Indian wine industry to unite their performances on the execution of food safety. The importance of the food safety is to protect the consumer from any possible unsafe products produced. The results of the study were analysed by means of a descriptive analysis. The responses obtained from the questionnaire are indicated in table format and specific frequency tables were used for the ease of reference. Each aspect within a question in this study was compared with each other. Each aspect within a question was also analysed with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) The study outcomes revealed that the food safety compliance was influenced on increased customer satisfaction, improved internal procedures, improved product quality, compliance with regulatory requirements, improved corporate image, improved employ morale, enhanced prospect of trading in other countries, reduced operating costs and insurance charges. Improvements can adopted as food safety training bodies should provide training to management representatives responsible for the food safety on the verification and validation of the food safety. Based on the study results, this study suggested that wine producing organisations should provide systematic regular training to core examiners and plant base employees in order to improve the efficiency of food safety.
Development of Elasto Magneto Electric (EME) Sensor for In Service Cable Force Monitoring

Stress/force monitoring of in service steel structures is challenging but crucial to the evaluation of structural safety. A smart elasto magneto electric (EME) sensor was recently proposed by the authors for stress monitoring of steel components not only with the superiorities of the traditional elasto magnetic (EM) sensors such as noncontact monitoring, actual stress measurement, low cost, corrosion resistance and long expected service life, but also with higher sensitivity, faster response and higher signal to noise ratio (SNR) In this paper, the application of the developed EME sensory system on the cable force monitoring of the Second Jiaojiang Bridge in China is presented. Full scale experiment, factory calibration and in situ verification for engineering applications were successively carried out, which verify that the EME sensor is feasible and reliable to monitor the in service cable force as a nondestructive testing (NDT) tool. Long term on line monitoring of the cable forces is in progress and the typical monitoring data over 7 months are presented and discussed. It is demonstrated that the proposed EME sensor is feasible for the in service force monitoring of steel cables and that the EME sensory technology is suitable for developing the stable and reliable long term monitoring system for steel structures.
Phosphate removal and recovery from water using nanocomposite of immobilized magnetite nanoparticles on cationic polymer
Venue: Environmental technology

A novel nanocomposite (NC) based on magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) immobilized on the surface of a cationic exchange polymer, C100, using a modification of the co precipitation method was developed to obtain magnetic NCs for phosphate removal and recovery from water. High resolution transmission electron microscopy energy dispersive spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy X ray diffraction, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry were used to characterize the NCs. Continuous adsorption process by the so called breakthrough curves was used to determine the adsorption capacity of the Fe3O4 based NC. The adsorption capacity conditions were studied under different conditions (pH, phosphate concentration, and concentration of nanoparticles) The optimum concentration of iron in the NC for phosphate removal was 23.59 mgFe/gNC. The sorption isotherms of this material were performed at pH 5 and 7. Taking into account the real application of this novel material in real water, the experiments were performed at pH 7, achieving an adsorption capacity higher than 4.9 mgPO4 P/gNC. Moreover, Freundlich, Langmuir, and a combination of them fit the experimental data and were used for interpreting the influence of pH on the sorption and the adsorption mechanism for this novel material. Furthermore, regeneration and reusability of the NC were tested, obtaining 97.5% recovery of phosphate for the first cycle, and at least seven cycles of adsorption desorption were carried out with more than 40% of recovery. Thus, this work described a novel magnetic nanoadsorbent with properties for phosphate recovery in wastewater.
Businesses and mobile social media capability

Mobile social media (MSM) an interaction, exchange of information and creation of user generated content, mediated by mobile devices, is becoming the locomotive that drives forward evolution of the online world. Fewer academic studies have touched upon the MSM subject, with all the papers being of a conceptual nature to provide recommendations to business to business (B2B) firms. This paper aims to explore how B2B firms use MSM in reality.  This paper adopts the grounded theory approach to analyse interviews conducted in 26 B2B firms representing the UK advertising and marketing sector. Interviewees represent key decision makers who understand the aspects of mobile technology use in their firms. Eighteen firms stressed the importance of social media as a trigger to adopt mobile devices. Follow up data collection in these 18 firms focus on strategic orientation, processes, routines and skills required for using MSM.  This paper found that marketing and advertising firms use MSM for branding, sensing market, managing relationships and developing content. MSM is treated by businesses as a strategic firm specific capability that drives firms' competitiveness, where imitation of such capability by competitors is limited because MSM skills are specific to individuals within organisations and MSM routines are manifested as a result of firm specific MSM skills' interactions.  This study is amongst the first to provide insights into B2B firms' practices of using MSM. Additionally, the research is novel because it discovers that MSM capability is developed as a result of the overlap between individuals' and organisational knowledge and memory, contradicting existing theory on the subject.
