The application of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has the potential to reshape inter-organizational collaboration across industries. This study explores the influences of the use of IoT for information sharing in the steel industry networks. Shared data may have multiple uses, including optimization, integration, automatization, and adaptation of objects in their environments. To dat...

Materials are a strategic resource and the increasing prices for metals call for an optimized materials use. The prices for materials due to demands, growing faster than the production of virgin material, have put recycling in focus. The mindset “material hygiene” is a pedagogical concept aimed at managing compromises necessary to optimize materials use in products. Consideration to the entire ...

Translucent materials are ubiquitous, and simulating their appearance requires accurate physical parameters. However, physicallyaccurate parameters for scattering materials are difficult to acquire. We introduce an optimization framework for measuring bulk scattering properties of homogeneous materials (phase function, scattering coefficient, and absorption coefficient) that is more accurate, a...

the present research studies how material and non-material factors could attract people to work in public and private sectors. the study focuses on the effect of financial incentives on better performance in the workplace, as well as the importance of wages, job security, authority, and job satisfaction in both the public and the private sectors. research subjects are all public and private sec...

This thesis presents a new algorithm for material boundary interface reconstruction from data sets containing volume fractions. The reconstruction problem is transformed to a problem that analyzes the dual data set, where each vertex in the dual mesh has an associated barycentric coordinate tuple that represents the fraction of each material present. After constructing the dual tetrahedral mesh...
