rfid technology has great potential to improve the benefits of supply chain management. auto- manufacturing is a competitive industry that every player of it needs great operation efficiency to gain competitive advantage to survive. rfid systems are good enhancements to supply chain processes, therefore it's obvious that every industry has to pay great attention to this it solution, and in this...

The power wall has become a dominant impeding factor in the realm of exascale system design. It is therefore important to understand how to most effectively create application software in order to minimize its power usage while maintaining satisfactory levels of performance. In this work, we use existing software and hardware facilities in order to tune applications to minimize for several comb...

background and objectives: auto-induction is usually employed to achieve high cell density and overproduction of proteins with a simple and low-cost operation. the efficiency of heterologous protein expression in escherichia coli is determined by different parameters. interactions between these parameters usually complicate the identification of those that contribute more to the improvement of ...

You are probably deploying different types of small cells from multiple vendors, including residential small cells, indoor small cells for buildings, and public small cells in indoor hotspots. Most 3G small cells today are passive in operation they do some auto-configuration on start-up but can’t react to changes in traffic or in their radio environment. Others, such as Cisco Universal Small Ce...

We trace the evolution of the auto component supply chain in India (following the opening of the Indian economy in 1990) using a combination of data on firm and sectoral performance, customer satisfaction surveys and interviews with experts. During the last decade, the industry has made remarkable progress on multiple fronts. This is particularly true with regard to quality ten firms in this in...

The degree of income inequality in Sweden has varied substantially since the 1970s. This study analyzes whether this variation has affected the crime rate using a panel of Swedish county-level data for the period 1973–2000. We consider various measures of income inequality to evaluate which part of the distribution that matters most in determining crime rates. Our results indicate that there is...
