Product lifetime extension is key strategy for a functioning Circular Economy. Yet, the role of material innovation and how this might contribute to longer product lifetimes has not been widely discussed. Considering significant environmental burden resource extraction, longevity materials must also be deliberated. Inspired by biological systems, self-healing are type smart with ability inheren...

ProblemThe operation of neutrino detectors shows that nuclide decay rates can be affected by loading of neutrino species. However the underlying principles of this are poorly understood. PurposeThis paper develops a conceptual solution for the neutrino-species interactions with single nucleon decay processes. ApproachThe starting point was the nonlocal hidden-variable (NLHV) solution provided b...

Employing remanufactured and refurbished products are among the new strategies that companies used to raise their profits as well as protects environment. Although used product equipment gives an opportunity to purchase latest technology, customers are doubtful about quality and reliability of these products. Because of limitation that developing countries faces in buying new products, some cou...

The pallet repair industry has been growing at significant rates in the United States. It has been estimated that therepair industryreceived 299 million pallets in 2001, and a majority went back into the marketplace as repaired or remanufactured pallets. Many question how well these pallets perform when compared to new pallets. The purpose of this research was to provide a benchmark for the rel...

M I S S I L E S When Fieseler’s engineers perfected the V-1 ‘doodlebug’ in 1944, little could they have imagined the long term impact of their creativity. The V-1 became the forerunner of a family of weapons which has decisively infl uenced many aspects of modern air warfare since then, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The media defi nition of a cruise missile is any weapo...
