Process planning in the automotive industry is referred to as advance manufacturing engineering, because it is done in advance of production — before the facilities are created. When developing these processes, simulation is typically done by service groups, not the process planner, resulting in communication errors and unnecessary iterations. Software applications are now becoming available th...

Water treatment technologies can be generally classified as insitu or ex-situ. In this paper, a comprehensive review describing the latest surface water remediation developments and technologies that can be suitable for in-situ applications. The review covers t...

Numerical modelling was used to study the impact of urban air pollution from Setúbal City in two important natural reserves. Setúbal is a city in the middle south Portugal with a large resident population, important industry and intense traffic activities. There is an important harbour, which is responsible for intense heavy vehicle traffic. Setúbal is surrounded by two natural reserves, a moun...

Nowadays, in the panorama of Internet of Things (IoT), finding a right compromise between interactivity and security is not trivial at all. Currently, most of pervasive communication technologies are designed to work locally. As a consequence, the development of large-scale Internet services and applications is not so easy for IoT Cloud providers. The main issue is that both IoT architectures a...

As Chinese students learn and use Russian language more more, the influence of on learning is becoming obvious. Due to different cultural contexts Russian, there are relative differences in order, leading phenomenon negative conceptual transfer from order brings obstacles students' Russian. In this paper, we discuss analyse causes propose corresponding strategies help by discussing concept comb...
