one of the important issues in the field of organizational decisions is determine the optimal time of use the equipment. managers should take proper decision to repair, rebuild or replace the equipment, so that the greatest benefit and the least cost to the organization. in the military, moving units, items, equipment and manpower, is the part of the logistics system mission. in this regard, th...

This presentation describes how we have constructed sport psychology as mental equipment for adolescent athletes living in northwest New South Wales (NSW). Using local materials readily found in Moree, Gunnedah, Tenterfield and other towns in northwest NSW, we have been able to introduce adolescent athletes living in regional, rural, and remote NSW to basic sport psychology concepts using menta...

This paper summaries and categories the information elements important for defining communication profiles of all relevant actors in a mobile communication scenario, where the information elements include Terminal, User, Service and Network Profiles. Those context information described by the profiles need to be retrieved before the decision process will be started for negotiation air interface...

Electronics equipment waste ("e-waste") includes discarded computers, computer monitors, television sets, and cell phones. Less than 10% of e-waste is currently recycled. The United States and other developed countries export e-waste primarily to Asia, knowing it carries a real harm to the poor communities where it will be discarded. A 2006 directive bans the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexa...

C hemical disinfection of surfaces and instruments is an important aspect of infection control as routinely practised in dental units and elsewhere. The timing and method of chemical disinfection, the factors affecting the efficacy of germicides and the hazards posed by their use are important considerations in selecting disinfectants. The terminology used for such chemicals is often confusing,...

This article examines the possibility of determining the indicators for the qual-ification of personnel servicing electrical installations based on statistical data based on the frequency and duration of the work carried out by a group of electrical engineers to eliminate the failure. And also the subsequent transition to the time characteristics, showing the productivity of the work of a separ...

Industrial rule-based diagnostic systems are often data-dependant in the sense that they rely on specific characteristics of individual pieces of equipment. This dependence poses significant challenges in rule authoring, reuse, and maintenance by engineers. In this work we address these problems by relying on Ontology-Based Data Access: we use ontologies to mediate the equipment and the rules. ...

Motivation. Diagnostic systems play an important role in industry since they help to maximise equipment’s up-time and minimise its maintenance and operating costs [16]. In the energy sector companies like Siemens often rely on rule-based diagnostics to analyse power generating equipment by, e.g., testing newly deployed electricity generating gas turbines [11], or checking vibration instrumentat...

A questionnaire was circulated to clinical biochemistry laboratories in the North West Thames region of the United Kingdom requesting information on extralaboratory equipment. Data on the types and numbers of instruments in use, their relationship with the laboratory, and quality assurance procedures were obtained. Laboratories were prepared to maintain equipment over which they had no responsi...
