Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Measuring sustainability performance is crucial for small and medium‐sized manufacturing enterprises and sustainability indicators must be incorporated into decision‐making. However, companies tend to measure only the aspects that interest them, disregarding those considered less strategic or relevant.

First Operation Results of a Methanol Demonstration Plant With Real Steel Mill Gases
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.A demonstration plant with industrial setup regarding length, diameter, boiling water cooling system and gas recycle was initially operated with cleaned blast furnace gas and compared with earlier experiments with bottle gases. Dynamic disturbances from the steel mill and gas cleaning unit were noticed and could be compensated by the control system ...

Power spectral density and the brain
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Time series from M/EEG (magneto/electroencephalography) and ECoG (electrocorticography) recordings are common sources of information about brain function. The power spectral density (PSD) preserves much of this information, up to second order. In the current decade, a burst of brain diagnostics using the slope of log(PSD) has appeared.

Droplet, EarlyView.Instead of suppressing the ubiquitous “coffee‐ring” effect, we harness it by integrating stretching, inclination, and rotation of soft substrates. This sequential control allows manipulation of global pattern symmetry and local morphology. By incorporating substrate inclination and rotation of stretched soft substrates, we create diverse patterns that ...

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

Modeling of the Brake Line Pressure to Tire Brake Force Subsystem
, 1994 One of the most challenging problems in automated vehicle control is when and how to apply the brakes. In order to deal with such a problem, a good understanding of the dynamical behavior of the braking mechanism is essential. In this report we use experimental data from a series of tests performed in collaboration with Ford research engineers to ...

Fuzzy model for braking force maximization [PDF]
, 2012 This paper shows the process of braking force realization by air brakes with brake shoes accompanied by a suitable mechanical model. The complexity of adhesion nature as a physical phenomenon as well as the limited factors on which the braking force value depends are pointed out.
