Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been widely used in many fields. However, previous studies have mainly focused on product life cycle tracking, and there are few studies on real-time status monitoring of workpieces in manufacturing workshops. In this paper, a wisdom manufacturing model is introduced, a sensing-aware environment for a wisdom manufacturing workshop is construc...

magnetotelluric (mt) method is an important passive surface geophysical method which uses the earth’s natural electromagnetic fields to investigate the electrical resistivity structure of the subsurface. the depth of investigation of mt is much higher than that of other electromagnetic (em) methods (vozoff, 1991). for a general conductivity distribution in the earth, the horizontal electric fie...

This paper introduces a nonparametric copula-based index for detecting the strength and monotonicity structure of linear and nonlinear statistical dependence between pairs of random variables or stochastic signals. Our index, termed Copula Index for Detecting Dependence and Monotonicity (CIM ), satisfies several desirable properties of measures of association, including Rényi’s properties, the ...

The cost reduction of green tea processing, the control of fossil fuel resources, and the curbing of corresponding greenhouse gases emission depend on the energy efficiency of tea processing units. Therefore, it is imperative to identify and analyze factors determining energy efficiency of these agro-industrial units. To this end, the present descriptive survey was carried out on 40 managers of...

Information was sought on the cause, effects, and control of dextran in sugar manufacture in Jamaica. Storage experiments on manually harvested, burnt, whole-stalk cane revealed that Leuconostoc mesenteroides was the predominant spoilage organism. Its growth was accompanied by significant increases in dextran content and juice viscosity. However, these parameters. did not increase linearly with...

Maintenance of cell efficiency in Cellular Manufacturing System is important. Once the cell is formed, new parts come naturally for processing. These parts may not be completely processed in a single manufacturing group and need different machines for processing. This paper presents a procedure for allocating new parts to machine groups using the concept of composite parts. Initially for each o...

Additive manufacturing systems, such as 3D-printers, emit cyber-data via physical side-channels (such as acoustic, power, thermal, and electromagnetic emissions) while creating 3D objects. These emitted data can be used by attackers to their advantage for indirectly reconstructing the 3D objects being printed along with its corresponding cyber-data. Moreover, in our work, we demonstrate that th...
