High life satisfaction was positively related to Gross Domestic Product, life expectancy, education, individualism, affective and intellectual autonomy, egalitarianism, and conscientiousness, whereas lowLife satisfaction was related to unemployment, unequal income distribution, power distance, masculinity uncertainty avoidance, embeddedness, hierarchy, and neuroticism.

Technology-driven Industry 4.0 (I4.0) paradigm combined with human-centrism, sustainability, and resilience orientation, forms the Industry 5.0 (I5.0) paradigm, providing support for the workforce and enabling the Operator 4.0 (O4.0) approach. The I5.0 focuses can face unforeseen challenges, as the applicability and readiness of I4.0 solutions are still not well discussed in the literature. Therefore, structuring existing knowledge of O4.0 to prepare for the smooth transition toward Operator 5.0 (O5.0) is crucial. A systematic literature review is performed in the Scopus database, considering ...

Operation Warp Speed’s Strategy and Approach The public–private initiative Operation Warp Speed aims to deliver tens of millions of doses of an FDA-approved SARS-CoV-2 vaccine beginning at the end ...

The proposed reference model has the possibility to detect, identify and develop corrective actions that can affect the safety of operators, the reduction of maintenance and operating costs, and more general improvements of the company business by intervening both in strictly technological and organizational terms.

The proposed model has the ability to function in a real-time environment and adapt to changes that may occur to the ship environment and was utilized to predict potential fuel saving in a Just-In-Time (JIT) scenario for one of the ship's voyages.

This review summarizes the science and engineering applications of hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass and focuses on continuous-flow reactor systems, due to their value for future full-scale applications.

A bottom-up conceptual framework is proposed to facilitate a wider implementation of DT technologies and support FM during the O & M phase of buildings and develops an evidence-induced conceptual framework for stakeholders who are grappling with their FM decision-making processes.

[EN] A lean supply chain (LSC) is a set of organizations directly linked by upstream and downstream value streams between processes that work collaboratively to reduce costs and waste. Currently, supply chains (SCs) have been put to the test as the world has had to face a series of unprecedented disruptions in demand and supply caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, a detailed study of constructs and multistructural components was carried out to develop a conceptual reference model that merges Industry 4.0 (I4.0) digital technologies with lean manufacturing tools to reduce waste and m...

Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising alternative to petroleum oil for producing energy and chemicals, owing to its abundance and sustainability. In the past decades, extensive research has applied a wide range of thermo-chemical technologies for converting biomass into value-added products. Among them, hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is regarded to be one of the most effective techniques to produce bio-fuels and bio-based chemicals. However, there are still several technical barriers that must be addressed before the industrialization of HTL technology. Although many previous reviews have su...

Mechanical oil recovery (i.e., booming and skimming) is the most common tool for oil spill response. The recovered fluid generated from skimming processes may contain a considerable proportion of water (10 % ~ 70 %). As a result of regulatory prohibition on the discharge of contaminated waters at sea, vessels and/or storage barges must make frequent trips to shore for oil-water waste disposal. This practice can be time- consuming thus reduces the overall efficiency and capacity of oil recovery. One potential solution is on-site oil-water separation and disposal of water fraction at sea. Howeve...

The development of clean and efficient energy conversion and storage systems is becoming increasingly vital as a result of accelerated global energy consumption. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as one key class of fuel cells have attracted much attention, owing to their high energy conversion efficiency and low emissions. However, some serious problems appeared because of the scorching operating temperatures of SOFCs (800–1000 °C), such as poor thermomechanical stability and difficult sealing, resulting in a short lifespan and high cost of SOFCs. Therefore, lowering the operating temperature of...

Hydrogen production using water electrolysers equipped with an anion exchange membrane, a pure water feed and cheap components (catalysts and bipolar plates) can challenge proton exchange membrane electrolysis systems as the state of the art.

Prompted by the increasing number of electrochemical biosensors reported in the literature, a wide range of lab-made potentiostats have been developed by researchers in recent years. While these devices are less costly than their commercial counterparts, they are typically single-plex and rely on non-integrated sample preparation or signal actuation devices. To address these limitations, we have designed a portable and fully integrated platform for point-of-care (PoC) electrochemical readout and actuation. This device performs standard voltammetric techniques and is controlled remotely by an a...

Despite significant changes in management of labor and delivery over the past few decades, operative vaginal birth remains an important component of modern labor management, accounting for 3.3% of all deliveries in 2013 (1). Use of obstetric forceps or vacuum extractor requires that an obstetrician or other obstetric care provider be familiar with the proper use of the instruments and the risks involved. The purpose of this document is to provide a review of the current evidence regarding the benefits and risks of operative vaginal birth.

Operative Pediatric Surgery, Second Edition is a comprehensive, well-illustrated text that delivers expert coverage of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric surgical disease.

This study proposes a novel network model, called operational neural networks (ONNs), which can be heterogeneous and encapsulate neurons with any set of operators to boost diversity and to learn highly complex and multi-modal functions or spaces with minimal network complexity and training data.

The analysis suggests that the wireline paths, upper-layer protocols, computing and radio hardware architecture need to co-evolve with 5G to form an ecosystem, in order to fully unleash its potential.

This textbook introduces quantitative methods in operations management, presenting tools for project planning, control, and strategic decision-making.

A new deep neural network called DeepONet can lean various mathematical operators with small generalization error and can learn various explicit operators, such as integrals and fractional Laplacians, as well as implicit operators that represent deterministic and stochastic differential equations.
