Industrial Symbiosis in SPIRE: Connecting Process Industries with Regions and Citizens

“Uncovering” Industrial Symbiosis

Since 1989, efforts to understand the nature of interfirm resource sharing in the form of industrial symbiosis and to replicate in a deliberate way what was largely self-organizing in Kalundborg, Denmark have followed many paths, some with much success and some with very little. This article provides a historical view of the motivations and means for pursuing industrial symbiosis—defined to inc...

Connecting Yule Process, Bisection and Binary Search Tree via Martingales

We present new links between some remarkable martingales found in the study of the Binary Search Tree or of the bisection problem, looking at them on the probability space of a continuous time binary branching process.

Process-based tolerance assessment of connecting rod machining process

Process tolerancing based on the process capability studies is the optimistic and pragmatic approach of determining the manufacturing process tolerances. On adopting the define–measure–analyze–improve–control approach, the process potential capability index (C p) and the process performance capability index (C pk) values of identified process characteristics of connecting rod ...

Chemicals, industrial processes and industries associated with cancer in humans.

The programme on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to Humans has existed since 1971 and involves the preparation and publication of monographs that evaluate individual chemicals and, more recently, carcinogenic risks resulting from exposures to complex mixtures, since it is in this way that human populations are often exposed. Exposures occurring in the wood and leather indus...
