Due to the large growth of web technologies and online resources, there is high information made available to everyone. With the growth of technology and resources, people are expressing their opinions and thoughts more comfortably. It impacts the …

In order to ensure the uninterrupted continuity of their activities, businesses have to keep certain levels of inventory in market conditions that cannot be precisely measured and easily predicted, such as uncertainty in demands and lead times …

The welding of dissimilar armor-grade steels is always challenging due to their carbon equivalent (CE) differences. In this investigation, dissimilar armor-grade steels (rolled homogenous armor (RHA) steels and ultra-high hard armor (UHA) steel) …

This paper studies the supply chain management of medical supply-processing-distribution (SPD) and models the logistics scheduling of drugs and consumables in SPD warehouse under uncertain environment. Firstly, the key management materials are …

The distribution of medical consumables inside the hospital is an important part of the daily operation of the hospital, which directly affects the operating efficiency of the entire hospital. Under the hospital SPD supply chain mode, the medical …

Civil nuclear plants are built with different components made of different alloys. The reactor pressure vessel and steam lines are made of low alloy steel and stainless steels. The joining of these two sections is referred to as bimetallic joint …

As a result of the development of the Industry 4.0 concept, the physical characteristics of production and the production process were transferred to the digital form. This process is also known as production digitalization. Digitalization allows …

The order of the pulmonary interventional surgeries and the reasonable arrangement of the surgical rooms are the important factors for the successful pulmonary interventional surgeries. This article uses combinatorial optimization and sequencing …

The current work was carried out to characterize welding of Inconel 625 superalloy and 316L stainless steel. In the present study, shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) with two types of filler metals (ERNiCrMo-3 …

A study of Ni-base weld metal hot cracking resistance was made comparing results from Modified Varestraint-Transvarestraint Testing (MVT), metallographic evaluation and mechanical testing. Submerged arc weld metals were produced with Alloy 625, Alloy

In this paper, an software, which is written in C# program language based on ORACLE and .NET Frame Work, for high value medical consumables management is introduced. Using client–server model as system structural, data structure and the data flow are

A search for the perfect ingredients to achieve brand loyal consumers has been popular focus in brand literature and studies have proposed numerous brand loyalty patterns. But how much of the brand loyalty is explained by resistance to change? As the

The continuous shrinkage of integrated circuit devices provides the advantage of having more electrical functions on the smaller chips. However, it has posed severe challenges to the manufacturing of these products. In patterning steps, the depth of …

This is a case study of the conception and development of an Expert System, for use at point-of-sale, to advise on the appropriate "consumables" for a customer's welding task.The paper discusses the reasons for, and justification of, the system …

Quenched and Tempered (Q&T) steels are widely used in the construction of military vehicles due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and high hardness. These steels are prone to hydrogen-induced cracking in the heat affected zone (HAZ) after we…

Quenched and tempered steels are prone to hydrogen induced cracking in the heat affected zone after welding. The use of austenitic stainless steel consumables to weld the above steel was the only available remedy because of higher solubility for …

The current European system governed by the three EC directives 93/42/EEC (Medical Device Directive), 98/79/EC (In-Vitro Diagnostic Directive) and 90/385/EEC (Active Implantable Medical Device Directive) regulates marketing and post-market surveillan

Quenched and tempered (Q&T) steels are prone to hydrogen induced cracking after welding. Austenitic stainless steel (ASS) welding consumables are traditionally used for welding of high hardness, Q&T steels as they have higher solubility for h…
