Entry-Item-Quantity-ABC Analysis-Based Multitype Cigarette Fast Sorting System

2012

Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/847591 Open access Numerous items, small order, and frequent delivery are the characteristics of many distribution centers. Such characteristics generally increase the operating costs of the distribution center. To remedy this problem, this study employs the Entry-Item-Quantity (EIQ) method to identify the characteristic of the cigarette distribution center and further analyzes the importance degree of customers and the frequently ordered products by means of EQ/EN/IQ-B/IK statistic charts. Based on these analyses as well as the total rep…

El papel de los conjuntos conventuales en la renovación ur bana de Palermo en la época de la Contrarreforma

2014

In a city like Palermo, ancient capital of the Reign of Sicily, the effect of new religious complexes born from the catholic politic of the Counter-Reformation, was sudden and explosive, and it caused, between the second half of the16th century and the first of the 17th century, a process of urban renewal never seen before. The essay means to analyze, first of all, the architectural interventions from a quantitative point of view, so to render the real dimension of the phenomenon and of the role it played in the destruction of the medieval city and the creation of the modern one, triggering un uninterrupted state of conflict between the new religious settlements and the owners of the near b…

Big Data as a Driver for Clinical Decision Support Systems: A Learning Health Systems Perspective

2018

Big data technologies are nowadays providing health care with powerful instruments to gather and analyze large volumes of heterogeneous data collected for different purposes, including clinical care, administration, and research. This makes possible to design IT infrastructures that favor the implementation of the so-called “Learning Healthcare System Cycle,” where healthcare practice and research are part of a unique and synergic process. In this paper we highlight how “Big Data enabled” integrated data collections may support clinical decision-making together with biomedical research. Two effective implementations are reported, concerning decision support in Diabetes and in Inherited Arrh…

Rediscovering tradition through representation: the vaulted house of the Amalfi Coast

2022

The Amalfi Coast represents one of the most fascinating examples of Mediterranean landscape with a unique cultural and natural setting, resulting from its dramatic topography and the evolution of its community. The universal value of the coast, the evolutionary process of human adaptation to its production and exchange spaces, as well as its residential settlements, is very important to preserve. In this regard, the research is focused on the interpretation of these places, and in particular on the typical medieval houses to find the main features through the representation of ancient and new designers. The observation through the drawing allows rediscovering the essential elements that dis…

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of protected crops: an Italian case study

2012

Abstract In this paper a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of protected crops was carried out. In particular, energy and environmental performances of peppers, melons, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini in different typologies of greenhouses (tunnel and pavilion) were assessed. The study aimed at assessing the ecoprofile of each product and the share of each life-cycle step on the total environmental impacts. The related process flow chart, the relevant mass and energy flows and the key environmental issues were identified for each product. Collection of primary data was conducted by means of a detailed questionnaire distributed to a producer company in southern Italy. The analysis was devel…

The sovietization of Estonian community houses (Rahvamaja): Soviet guidelines

2014

Estonian Community houses were built in towns and the countryside by local people, who joined cultural and other societies since the second half of the 19th century. These cultural centers supported the process of Estonian state building. During the years of the first Estonian independent state (1918–1940), the network of community houses was set up by the state. After the invasion of the Baltic states by the Soviet Union in 1940, extensive restructuring or sovietization of the Estonian public administration, economy and culture, began. The article examines the sovietization process of Estonian community houses, i.e., how they were turned into the ideological tools of Soviet totalitarian pr…

Sezonowe zmiany występowania izolatów Fusarium w magazynach zbożowych

2018

Nasiona zbóż w skali globalnej dostarczają więcej energii, niż którekolwiek z uprawianych roślin, gdyż są bogate w węglowodany. W gospodarce światowej dominują uprawy takich gatunków zbóż, jak pszenica, jęczmień, kukurydza oraz ryż. Natomiast w Polsce ze względów klimatycznych uprawia się głównie: pszenicę, żyto, pszenżyto, jęczmienie, owies oraz kukurydzę. W łańcuchu produkcji rolno-spożywczej można wydzielić następujące etapy: uprawę, magazynowanie oraz przetwórstwo. Na każdym z tych etapów występują różne zagrożenia, w tym mykologiczne. Duży problem stanowią grzyby z rodzaju Fusarium i produkowane przez nie fuzariotoksyny. Grzyby te porażają zboża w uprawach, a także mogą utrudniać magaz…
