In any metal forming process, both the strain rate and deformation rate depend on the die profile. The die profile also, is responsible for the non-uniformity of the deformation along the cross-section. These affect the quality and mechanical properties of the product. Therefore, if a die is designed, in which the affecting variables can be controlled spontaneously it is hoped to obtain a produ...

Let X0, X1, . . . , Xk with k ∈ IN ∪ {∞} be sequence spaces (finite or infinite dimensional) over C or IR with absolute norms Ni for i = 0, . . . , k, (i.e., with 1unconditional bases) such that dimX0 = k. Define an absolute norm on the cross product space (also known as the X0 1-unconditional sum) X1 × · · · ×Xk by N(x1, . . . , xk) = N0(N1(x1), . . . , Nk(xk)) for all (x1, . . . , xk) ∈ X1 × ...

The industrialization of application software development is a key trend in the software industry. One important element of industrialized development processes is the introduction of a division of work with specialized competencies. Cross-functional integration is a fundamental and well established concept in product development. Its potential has also been recognized in application software d...

We have used a cross-linking approach to study the interaction of ferredoxin (Fd) with photosystem I (PSI). The cross-linking reagent N-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide was found to cross-link spinach Fd to a 22 kilodalton subunit of PSI in both isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea) PSI complexes and spinach thylakoid membranes. The product had an apparent molecular weight of 38 kilo...

the chemical inputs threat the health of water, soil and organisms. thus, it is essential to encourage farmers to produce products with minimum use of chemical inputs. using the ordered logit model and a cross sectional data of 186 producers in 2012, this study attempted at investigating influential factors on willingness to accept (wta) of khorasan razavi province farmers to produce greenhouse...

This study examines the effects of organizational flatness, coordination (cross-functional coordination, cross-plant coordination and supply chain coordination) and product modularity on mass customization capability (MCC) development. We develop a flatness-coordination-modularity-MCC model. Data from 317 firms located in ten countries across three industries are analyzed to test the research m...
