In today's mixed-model assembly production, there are two recent trends in particular, namely increasing vertical integration and the proliferation of product variety, which more and more shift focus to an e cient just-in-time part supply. In this context, many automobile manufacturers set up decentralized logistics areas referred to as supermarkets . Here, small tow trains are loaded with part...

The sea surface temperature (SST) and enthalpy flux response to tropical cyclones (TCs) in the Kuroshio are investigated using 18-year observational datasets. statistical results show that maximum TC-induced SST cooling its occurrence time, recovery spatial patterns of anomaly, anomaly between warm core eddies (WCEs) typical oceanic water (i.e., eddy-free Kuroshio-free, TOW) varies considerably...

The delayed failure time of SiC-based multifilament tows under static fatigue condition is as broadly scattered for individual filaments, despite it commonly used strong scatter reduction. Moreover, the stress exponent (n) hierarchy-dependent revealed by a Monte-Carlo algorithm: decreasing from filament (micro) scale to tow (meso) scale. This demonstrated originate mismatch between applied crit...

One of the most important parameters to be controlled during the production of textile yarns obtained by mixing pre-colored fibers, is the color correspondence between the manufactured yarn and a given reference, usually provided by a designer or a customer. Obtaining yarns from raw pre-colored fibers is a complex manufacturing process entailing a number of steps such as laboratory sampling, co...

1. Abstract Composite materials are now making their way into the primary structures of large transport aircraft and have contributed to more efficient airframes. However, the composites used so far consist in conventional plies with fixed angles. The introduction of the capability to manufacture tow-steered composites opens the door to more efficient airframes by enabling more tailored structu...

OBJECTIVES This case-control study aimed to investigate the predictors of return to work (RTW) following work-related major forearm, wrist or hand injury at the preparation stage of return to work. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 80 clients were recruited and divided into 2 groups depending on their readiness of RTW. The groups were compared with each other with regard to their demographics, ...

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of tow duration on catch per unit of swept area (CPUE), trawl catch performance, and the proportion of the species caught in a trawl survey. Longer tows are expected to have a greater probability of catching species. An average of 26 species were caught in the first 30 minutes, whereas only about one additional species was caught in the next 30 min...

“Bodies of tow and paraffin” is the phrase used by Georges Braque, pioneer with Picasso Cubism, to describe alarm that he felt at his first sight Les Demoiselles d'Avignon when paid a visit as was painting it in Bateau Lavoir 1907. This sums up well reactions work produced among friends Spanish painter who saw it. chapter summarises these horror, disgust disappointment Picasso's acquaintances. ...
