This paper builds a model of growth through industrialization, where machines replace workers in a growing number of tasks. This enables the economy to experience long-run growth, as machines become servants of humans, and as their number grows unboundedly. The mechanism that drives growth is feedback between industrialization and wages. High wages provide incentives to use machines, while indu...

High quality craft manufacturers adapting industrialized approaches to design and manufacturing face the challenge of maintaining the unique quality in their craft manufacturing while realizing improvements in efficiency through their industrialization process. We studied how quality is ensured and built into the products of one highly industrialized lean manufacturer and one craft manufacturer...

Micro-enterprises have the potential to serve as the seedbed for industrialization. But in order to reach their potential, they face a myriad of challenges obstructing their path. A major obstacle to the cause is their inability to utilize technology to its full capability. Research has shown how IT enables organizations & even countries to leapfrog through stages of positive development. This ...

Oil pollution in the environment is now being taken seriously by the oil industries and as such, these companies are always looking for cost-effective methods of dealing with this pollution. The global environment is under great stress due to urbanization and industrialization as well as population pressure on the limited natural resources. The problems are compounded by drastic changes that ha...

In this paper, we discuss the research topic of precise interaction for Wearable Augmented Reality (AR). Our research focus is towards improving interaction with wearable AR systems to assist in the creation and modification of user contents. We present a set of techniques that supports both the creation and modification of virtual models for outdoor wearable AR. Based on our experience, we dis...

Despite the importance of interaction between industrialization and health, this subject has not been studied sufficiently in Iran. In this regard, the aim of this study is investigating the impact of industrialization on health in Iranian provinces during 2009-13. The used data has been collected from the Statistical Centre of Iran and the National Organization for Civil Registration. The intr...

Cities are the most dramatic manifestations of human activities on the surface of the earth. These human-dominated organisms—i.e., cities—degrade natural habitats, simplify species composition, disrupt hydrological systems, and modify energy flow and nutrient cycling. Today, these consequential impacts of human activities, originated from population increase, rapid urbanization, high private mo...
