On June 28 th 2005, an agreement was reached amongst the ITER parties on the selection of the European Site of Cadarache in France. As consequence, the ITER generic site safety assessment had to be adapted to the French requirements in order to initiate the licensing process. It is precisely in this point that Europe has been working through the European ITER Site Studies programme. The main ob...

The current specification and verification of surface texture in international standards are considered to be too theoretical, complex and over-elaborate for industry. A functional approach that completely expresses the complicated surface texture knowledge for designers and engineers is often nonexistent on the shop floor. Based on Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) philosophy, this paper...

to survive in today’s competitive environment, companies need continues improvement to achieve goals such as increasing the accuracy of targeting, improving product or service. however, there is no improvement guaranty without performance evaluation. an organization must assess current performance before embarking on any improvement. if it does not, it will have no baseline from which to determ...

Abstract This chapter scrutinizes financial analysts’ text products, drawing on an overall data corpus that consists of 2100 texts in English, German, and Japanese.

applying robust optimization to solve product mix problem in automotive industries in this article, applying robust optimization in product mix problem in automotive industries is presented. the problem includes determining both the quantity and the identification of each product to produce to maximize profit. at first, the deterministic model will be presented. then, robust model of product mi...

In this article, by using a partial on locally compact semi-direct product groups, we present a compatible extension of the Fourier transform. As a consequence, we extend the fundamental theorems of Abelian Fourier transform to non-Abelian case.

this paper seeks to trace some of the roots and problems of the rational view of innovation. concentrating primarily upon product innovation, we point out that the eighteenth century notion of social progress in the light of reason has gradually given an enormous impetus to a rational view of product innovation in modern organizations. we summarize several decades of research into management of...

Keen competitions in the global market have led product development to a more knowledge-intensive activity than ever, which requires not only tremendous expert knowledge but also effective analysis of design information. Kansei Engineering as a customer-oriented methodology for product development, often has to analyse imprecise design information inherent with nonlinearity and uncertainty. Thi...
