for the past 3 decades, creating industrial clusters have been considered as an approach for the development of most small and medium enterprises. the goal of this programme is that all small and medium enterprises locating in a certain geoghraphic area can concentrate on cluster approach to collaborate in market research, production design, training and other activities that are not economical...

The first standards for chemical protective clothing (CPC) emerged mid to late 1980's and have evolved since as most standards are revisited every 5 yr. Over the past years, we have also seen a strengthening of the chemical and worker protection legislation around the globe (various forms of REACH) but also protection of workers. The most prevalent standards originate under the auspices of the ...

Industrial clusters have received considerable attention from economists and industrial analysts. The main purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the driving forces behind the growth of industrial clusters. Another core viewpoint anchored in this paper is that national competitive advantages can be achieved by industrial clusters. We examine the impacts of and determine ...

Ever since the Industrial revolution, more and factories industries are being set up around world. Be it manufacturing or iron-steel industry. There many places in factories, industries, plants, oil fields, etc. where there is a risk of fire but they unmanned. may be fires remote like, small gaps narrow pipes humans can’t reach. The solution to these problems our smart firefighting robot which ...

Objectives of the Doctoral Program Structural, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering SSGE consists of the disciplines and techniques that allow to understand, model and control the behavior of: (a) structural materials (concrete, steel, masonry, composites, bio-materials and materials for micro-systems), (b) structural systems (from constructions to bio-mechanical systems and micro-systems), (c)...

1.1. What is this book about? After a long incubation in academia and in very specialized industrial environments , in the last ten to fifteen years research and development of image processing and computer vision applications have become mainstream industrial activities. Apart from the entertainment industry, where video games and special effects for movies are a billionaire business, in most ...

This paper proposes that industrial waste be regarded, in a business economic sense, as having the same basic status as regular products. A basic mathematical expression for assigning industrial costs to waste is presented. The expression can be employed in conjunction with cost-benefit analysis for estimating the “true” internal costs of industrial waste. In two case studies presented, industr...

This work initiates a general study of learning and generalization without the i.i.d. assumption, starting from first principles. While the standard approach to statistical learning theory is based on assumptions chosen largely for their convenience (e.g., i.i.d. or stationary ergodic), in this work we are interested in developing a theory of learning based only on the most fundamental and natu...
