Full textAbstract:
Quality evaluation of the porous crumb structure of leavened baked goods, especially bread, has become a vast study area of which various research studies have been carried out up to date. Here is a brief review focusing on those studies with six main parts including porous crumb structure development, crumb cellular structure analysis, application of fractal dimension for evaluating crumb cellular structure, mechanical and sensorial properties of crumb structure, changes of porous crumb structure with staling, and modifications to obtain a well-developed porous crumb structure and retard staling. Development of the porous crumb structure mainly depends on dough ingredients and processing conditions. Hence, certain modifications for those factors (incorporating food hydrocolloids, emulsifiers, improvers, etc.) have been conducted by cereal sciences for obtaining well-developed porous crumb structure and retard staling. Several image analysis methods are available for analyzing microstructural features of porous crumb structure, which can directly affect the mechanical and sensorial properties of the final product. A product with a well-developed porous crumb structure may contain the property of higher gas retention capacity which results in a product with increased volume and reduced crumb hardness with appealing sensorial properties.

Background: Rice bran, a byproduct of rice milling is a rich source of fiber, proteins, fats and micronutrients. There is an increasing demand for functional foods that can provide a variety of nutrients besides providing bioactives rendering therapeutic value thereby reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Methods: The study was carried out to evaluate the physicochemical and in vitro antioxidative potential of stabilized rice bran powder [full-fat rice bran (FFRB) and defatted rice bran (DFRB)] in baked products. Three variants of each product viz. rusks and twisted sticks were prepared by incorporating FFRB and DFRB at 5%, 10% and 15% level along with the standard (control) without the addition of rice bran powder. Results: The results indicated that DFRB showed higher antioxidative potential and improved water absorption capacity (WAC), oil absorption capacity (OAC) than FFRB. Proximate analysis revealed that the protein and ash content of the baked products improved significantly (p ≤ 0.05) with an increased level of incorporation of FFRB and DFRB as compared to control. The DPPH activity of DFRB (78.7 ± 0.46) was significantly higher than FFRB (35.5 ± 2.89). Sensory appraisal of the rusk revealed that variant I and II with 5% and 10% level of incorporation were more acceptable as compared to control. The sensory appraisal of twisted sticks revealed that all the three variants were equally acceptable as the control sample. Conclusion: The incorporation of full fat and defatted rice bran powders to baked products enhanced their nutritional profile and physicochemical characteristics without affecting the organoleptic properties.

A total of 6 cvs and 14 lines of sweetpotatoes were analyzed by sensory panel for baking and canning quality. Baked samples were cured, washed, foil-wrapped, and baked for 1.5 h at 177°C. Canned samples were lye peeled and finished, packed with 20°Brix sucrose in 303 × 406 cans, and retorted for 25 min at 121.1°C. Beauregard and 'L86-33' scored the highest on canned samples. In analyzing the different sensory attributes, color uniformity had the highest partial R2 for both baked (0.61) and canned (0.67) products. Moistness (R2=0.13) and mouthfeel (R2=0.15) were the subsequent important factors followed by eye appeal, smoothness, lack of fiber and attractiveness. Thus color attributes accounted for 67.0% (baked) and 78.4% (canned) of the average rating of sweetpotatoes. Textural attributes followed with flavor being last with 1.0% and 1.1%. for baked and canned products, respectively. When averaging all samples, eye appeal and color uniformity were below the acceptable rating (6) in baked samples. For canned samples. attractiveness and color intensity were rated the lowest. This work shows that the average or total score given to a cv/line should be the result of the weighted scores of each attribute rated and not the arithmetic mean. Also, breeders should incorporate color intensity, uniformity, and susceptibility to browning ratings early in their program.

Purpose Due to the increased consumption of fast foods in India, especially among the youngsters, obesity and related health ailments have become a serious concern. Fast foods provide empty calories which calls for an urgent need to improvise their nutritional value rendering them “nutrient dense”. The purpose of this research was development and nutritional evaluation of baked products incorporated with partially defatted peanut flour. Design/methodology/approach Three baked products, namely, pizza base, buns and bread were developed using standardized recipes with different levels of incorporation of defatted peanut meal flour. These products were organoleptically evaluated by a trained panel of ten judges using nine-point hedonic scale. The selected samples of each product were nutritionally evaluated for proximate composition and mineral content along with their respective control samples. Findings Results from sensory evaluation revealed that pizza base, buns and bread were most acceptable at 10, 10 and 15 per cent level of incorporation of partially defatted peanut flour, respectively. The developed products were found to have high protein, crude fiber, calcium and iron, i.e. 11.5-12.4 per cent, 1.4-1.8 per cent, 19.2-20.4 mg/100 g, 1.8-2.3 mg/100 g content, respectively. p-values for the same were also calculated. Originality/value Keeping in view the nutritional benefits of peanut flour and trending consumption of bakery products among children and other age groups, these products can be commercialized to improve the nutritional value of empty calorie baked products as these products are consumed very frequently. Defatted peanut meal although being nutrient rich has generally been used as animal feed or is discarded as waste. The role of this meal in the human diet has not been explored to the best.

Background: Inclusion of baked-milk products to the diet appears to markedly accelerate tolerance to unheated milk compared to a strict avoidance diet.Objective: The present study aims to investigate the predictors of baked-milk tolerance in children with Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated cow’s milk (CM) allergy.Methods: The study included 80 patients diagnosed with IgE-mediated CM allergy upon oral food challenge (OFC) testing at our clinic. Patients who developed and did not develop reactions during OFC with baked milk were compared considering clinical and laboratory parameters.Results: Eighty patients with CM allergy comprised 48 male and 32 female infants with an average age of 7.25 ± 2.45 (3–13) months. We found that 62.5% of them showed tolerance to baked milk in the OFC test performed with cakes containing 2.6-g milk protein. When the patients who tolerated and could not tolerate baked-milk products were compared for test results, we detected a statistically significant intergroup difference regarding diameter of wheal in skin prick test (SPT) performed with muffin slurry, levels of specific Immunoglobulin E (sIgE) in CM, sheep’s milk (SM), goat’s milk (GM), casein, and the amount of unheated milk consumed until a reaction developed in the OFC test performed with unheated milk (P < 0.05).Conclusion: We defined novel decision points based on CM, SM, GM, casein sIgE levels, wheal diameter in SPT with muffin slurry, and the amount of milk ingested during OFC performed with unheated milk that may be useful in predicting outcomes of baked-milk ingestion.

The effects of wheat flour substitution by sweet potato powder on rheological parameters of wheat dough and physical parameters of cookies and crackers were analyzed. Wheat flour was substituted with sweet potato powder at level 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%. Sweet potato powder was characterized by high water holding capacity (9.00 g/g) and swelling capacity (8.16 cm3/g). The addition of sweet potato powder significantly changed the rheological properties of wheat dough (water absorption and mixing tolerance index were increased, dough stability was reduced, and dough development time was prolonged). It was also found that volumes of cookies and crackers were decreased, and spread ratios were increased with the addition of sweet potato powder. Lightness of baked products decreased and yellowness increased with the addition of sweet potato powder. Incorporation of sweet potato powder significantly decreased the hardness of cookies and crackers. Sensory evaluation showed that the most acceptable cookies and crackers were the ones obtained after the addition of sweet potato powder at level 2.5% and 7.5%, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Internet est une immense source de données non structurées dont l'extraction et l'analyse devient un enjeu majeur. Ces informations peuvent être plus qu'utiles à des consommateurs et des fabricants dans leur processus de prise de décision quant à un produit. Dans ce contexte, l'exploitation de telles information se révèle être une tâche très difficile. De nombreuses méthodes d'évaluation de produits existent à l'heure actuelle, utilisant principalement les notes et les commentaires disponibles sur Internet. Cependant, ces méthodes rencontrent vite des limites et ne sont donc pas en mesure de répondre aux besoins et aux exigences des clients ou des fabricants. Par exemple, les méthodes existantes d'analyse de sentiments, qui classent les opinions des clients sur un produit à l’aide de leur polarité, ne sont pas en mesure de déterminer le contexte du mot dans une phrase avec précision, ce qui biaise fortement leurs résultats. De plus, les méthodes de traitement des négations utilisées, qui déterminent les sentiments exprimées par les clients dans leur commentaires, ne sont pas en mesure de traiter tous les types de négation, ne considèrent pas non plus toutes les exceptions où les négations se comportent différemment. De même, les modèles existants d'estimation de réputation de produits sont basés sur une source unique, et donc peu robuste aux fausses évaluations ou aux évaluations biaisées, ne sont pas en mesure de refléter les opinions récentes. Ils ne permettent pas aux utilisateurs d'évaluer le produit au regard de critères spécifiques, et ainsi ne fournissent pas une estimation précise. D'autre part, les systèmes de réputation évaluant des produits fonctionnent de manière centralisée, entraînant des problèmes de robustesse et des facilités de manipulation, voire de falsification, d'informations, ces approches ne convenant pas à résoudre un problème aussi complexe. Cette thèse propose des modèles et des méthodes d'évaluation de la réputation dédiées aux produits, fonctionnant à partir des données disponibles sur Internet, et visant à fournir des informations précises aux consommateurs et aux fabricants, les appuyant dans leur prise de décision. Ces méthodes concernent i) l'extraction des données d'évaluation des produits à partir de plusieurs sources; ii) une analyse sémantique des évaluations des clients pour déterminer si les opinions exprimées sur chacune des caractéristiques d'un produit sont positives ou négatives; iii) le calcul des différentes valeurs de réputation d'un produit, tout en considérant différents critères d'évaluation, et iv) enfin, le retour des résultats aux consommateurs ou aux fabricants afin de les aider dans leur prise de décisions. Cette thèse contribue à trois principaux domaines de recherche à savoir i) l'analyse des sentiments exprimées quant aux caractéristiques d'un produit, comprenant une méthode de désambiguïsation du sens des mots ainsi qu'une prise en compte plus fine des négations pour améliorer la performance de l'analyse de sentiments selon différents niveaux; ii) les modèles d'évaluation de la réputation d'un produit, basé sur un modèlemathématique calculant plusieurs valeurs de réputation pour une évaluation d'un produit selon différents critères et enfin iii) une architecture multi-agents robuste, facilitant le déploiement et la parallélisation des tâches. Sur Internet, la plupart des opinions sur des produits sont de nature textuelle, comme par exemple les avis des consommateurs. Afin d'analyser de tels commentaires, une méthode d'analyse de sentiments exprimés ciblant spécifiquement les caractéristiques d'un produit a été développée. Une méthode de désambiguïsation identifiant le sens des mots selon leur contexte tout en déterminant leur polarité a enrichi le processus, qui fût complété par une méthode d'analyse fine des négations, déterminant les séquences de mots affectées par chaque type de négationThe extraction of unstructured data from the Web and to analyzing them in order to determine useful information which can be used by customers and manufacturers to make decisions about product is a challengeable task. There are some existing techniques to evaluate products based on the ratings and product reviews posted on the Web. However, all these techniques have some inherent issues and limitations and therefore not able to fulfill the needs and requirements of both customer and manufacturer. For instance, the existing sentiment analysis methods (which classify the opinions in customer reviewsabout a product as positive or negative) are not able to determine the context of word in a sentence accurately. In addition, negation handling methods adopted while determining the sentiment are not able to deal with all types of negations and they also do not consider all exceptions where negations behave differently. Similarly, the existing product reputation models are based on single source, not robust to false and biased ratings, not able to reflect the recent opinions, do not allow users to evaluate product on different criteria, and also do not provide a good estimation accuracy. On the other hand, the existingproduct reputation systems are centralized which has issues such as single point of failure, easy to falsify evaluation information and not suitable approach to solve a complex problem. This thesis proposes methods and techniques for evaluating product reputation based on data available on the Web and to provide valuable information to customers and manufacturers for decision making. These methods perform the following tasks: 1) extract product evaluation data from multiple Web sources 2) analyze product reviews in order to determine that whether opinions about product features in customer reviews are positive or negative, 3) computes different product reputation values while considering different evaluation criteria, and 4) finally the results are provided to customers and manufacturers in order to make decisions. This thesis contributes in three main research areas i.e. 1) feature level sentiment analysis, 2) product reputation model and 3) multiagent architecture. First, a word sense disambiguation and negation handling methods are proposed in order to improve the performance of feature level sentiment analysis. Second, a novel mathematical model is proposed which computes several reputation values in order to evaluate product based on different criteria. Finally, multiagent architecture for review analysis and product evaluation is proposed. Huge amount of the product evaluation data on the Web is in textual form (i.e. product reviews). In order to analyze product reviews to evaluate product we propose a feature level sentiment analysis method which determines the opinions about different features of a product. A word sense disambiguation method is introduced which identify the sense of words according to the context while determining the polarity. Inaddition, a negation handling method is proposed which determine the sequence of words affected by different types of negations. The results show that both word sense disambiguation and negation handling methods improve the overall accuracy of feature level sentiment analysis. A multi-source product reputation model is proposed where informative, robust and strategy proof aggregation methods are introduced to compute different reputation values. Sources from which reviews are extracted may not be creditable hence a source credibility measuring method is proposed in order to avoid malicious web sources. In addition, suitable decay principles for product reputation are also introduced in order to reflect the newest opinions about product quickly. The model also considers several parameters such as reviewer expertise, rating trustworthiness, time span of ratings, reviewer age, sex and location in order to evaluate product in different ways

Often consumers in the developed world have a wide range of options available to them when considering a certain product family, such as a smartphone. The plethora of options is in large part a result of the degree to which the supply chains have advanced in the developed world. Organizations such as Consumer Reports have distilled information about the products available to consumer in the form of comparative ratings charts to help them make a purchasing decision. These product evaluations provide valuable information on the quality of a product, but are limited to the perspective of the developed world consumer. In contrast, there are many barriers in providing a product to a consumer in the developing world. A multitude of poverty alleviating products have been developed, but few have been successful. The Comprehensive Initiative on Technology Evaluation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology seeks to adapt product evaluation methodologies such as those employed by Consumer Reports to evaluate developing world products. This thesis documents the challenges in adapting the methodology and demonstrates that in order to create a successful product in the developing world, aspects of design, manufacturing, distribution, and consumer adoption must be assessed. A biomass fueled improved cookstove case study is presented to explain these four stages and how they may be evaluated. In addition, a sensor based method and neural network based processing algorithm is presented as a cost-effective and accurate way to gauge adoption of improved cookstoves.

Full textAbstract:
The gradually increasing competition that occurs in mature markets, pushes the companies to consider new ways of competing. The more mature the market becomes the higher level of competitive fulfillment and edge is needed. E.g. for Scania the dimension high quality was until now considered a competitive advantage, but is currently evolving towards a dimension that is necessary to fulfill to even act within the market. Thus, companies such as Scania have to push their limits everywhere possible across their organization. One way to push the limits of R&D and product development (PD) is, based on this thesis and other work, implementing a simulation based product development (SBPD) process. The aim of this thesis has been, by applying a quality function deployment (QFD) model, to show the influence a SBPD process can have on increased competitiveness. By combining published literature within the field with empirical results mostly gained from interviews, nine components representing a SBPD process could be found. These components were characterized in the following categories: IT-infrastructure, design, model & test, and organizational. Depending on the level of fulfillment of these components the SBPD process is more or less implemented within the company. The two components that are considered the most important for Scania in terms of both increased competitiveness and a possible transition towards a SBPD process are Virtual representa-tion of the product and the process throughout the whole PD process and A model driven/model based approach. The work of this thesis has also shown, in correlations with previous published literature, that a SBPD process can significantly decrease the lead-time and cost of development, and at the same time increase the knowledge about the product and the process. The research has also shown that a SBPD process can considerably improve both the internal and the external collaboration. However attaining such a process where these competitive advantages can be gained affects the whole organization, the way development is performed and also the way resources are used. A fully implemented SBPD process has been shown to positively impact the following competitive dimensions; Frequency of product introductions, Lead-time of development, PD process flexibility, Degree of innovation, Customization of the offer, Collaboration with internal and external partners, Knowledge about products and processes, R&D cost, manufacturing cost, Focus on customers operational economics, Product quality, Product safety and Focus on environmental sustainability of the product & the processes. But, to get a positive impact on all these dimensions the components representing a SBPD process must be implemented and applied. Furthermore, this thesis also provides a framework for other companies to evaluate the impact a SBPD process can have on their competitiveness. The analysis model aims to guide companies that want to adopt a SBPD process. The framework can indicate how a SBPD process would impact the firm's competitive strategy. But also to provide guidance to which components that would be more important to implement in order to reach a competitive SBPD process.Den gradvis ökande konkurrens som uppstår på mogna marknader driver företagen att finna nya sätt att konkurrera. Ju mer mogen marknaden blir desto högre blir kraven på konkurrens. För Scania har faktorn hög kvalitet tills nu betraktas som en konkurrensfördel, men utveckling sker istället mot att det kommer att vara en faktor som är nödvändig att uppfylla för att ens kunna agera på marknaden. Företag som Scania måste således utvecklas över hela organisationen. Ett sätt att tänja på gränserna för FoU och produktutveckling (PD) är, baserat på detta arbete och annan tidigare forskning, att genomföra en förändring mot en simulering baserad produktutvecklings-process (SBPD). Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att, genom att tillämpa en quality function deployment (QFD) modell, visa effekten en SBPD-process kan ha på ökad konkurrenskraft. Genom att kombinera tidigare publicerad litteratur inom området med empiriska resultat, mestadels insamlat genom intervjuer, kunde nio komponenter som utgör en SBPD-process finnas. Dessa komponenter karakteriserades i följande kategorier: IT-infrastruktur, design, modellera och testa och organisatorisk. Beroende på graden av uppfyllnad på dessa komponenter blir den SBPD-processen mer eller mindre implementerad inom företaget. De två komponenterna som anses viktigast för Scania i form av både ökad konkurrenskraft och en eventuell övergång till en SBPD-process är Virtuell representation av produkten och processen genom hela PD-processen och Ett modellbaserat/ modelldrivet arbetssätt används. Arbetet har också visat i korrelation med tidigare publicerad litteratur, att en SBPD-process kommer att minska ledtiden och kostnaden för utveckling avsevärt och samtidigt öka kunskapen om produkten och processen. Denna studie har också visat att en SBPD-process kan förbättra både interna och externa samarbeten. Men att uppnå en sådan process där dessa konkurrens-fördelar kan vinnas kommer att påverka hela organisationen, det sätt som utveckling utförs på och också hur resurserna används. En fullt implementerad SBPD-process har visat positivt påverkan följande konkurrens faktorer; frekvens av produktlanseringar, ledtiden för utveckling, PD-processflexibilitet, innovationsgrad, anpassning av erbjudandet, samarbete med interna och externa partners, kunskap om produkter och processer, FoU kostnader, tillverkningskostnad, fokus på kundernas driftsekonomi, produktkvalitet, produktsäkerhet och miljöpåverkan av både produkten och processen. För att få en positiv inverkan på alla dessa faktorer måste alla komponenter som utgör en SBPD-process implementeras och tillämpas. Dessutom så presenteras även ett ramverk för andra företag att utvärdera effekterna en SBPD-process skulle ha på deras konkurrenskraft. Analysmodellen syftar till att vägleda företag som vill övergå till en SBPD-process. Ramverket kan ange hur en SBPD-process skulle kunna påverka företagets konkurrensstrategi men också ge vägledning om vilka komponenter som kan vara viktigare att börja implementera för att nå en konkurrenskraftig SBPD-process.

Full textAbstract:
An increased interest in functional beverages is occurring, and omega-3 fatty acids (FA) are one of the most commonly sought ingredients to fortify such beverages. Omega-3 FA produce beneficial health effects, likely due to their anti-inflammatory properties. The majority of current omega-3 FA-fortified products include marine-derived omega-3 FA sources, often producing undesired flavors due to lipid oxidation. Little research regarding incorporation of alpha-linolenic acid in functional beverage formulation has been conducted. Alpha-linolenic acid is less susceptible to oxidation and may be a candidate to deliver omega-3 FA into the diet via functional products.
Flaxseed is the richest plant source for alpha-linolenic acid; consumption may increase omega-3 FA intake and lower the omega-6:omega3 FA ratio, thereby, attenuating inflammation. Finely ground flaxseed was, therefore, incorporated into a chocolate milk foundation ("flaxmilk") to increase dietary omega-3 FA. An untrained consumer panel tasted and rated flaxmilk's palatability using a 9-point hedonic scale. A score of "6.0" ("like slightly") was targeted. A mean hedonic score of 6.35 was achieved, surpassing the targeted score and indicating an acceptable product.
Sensory and analytical analyses of flaxmilk were conducted and compared to standard chocolate milk. Flaxmilk was significantly different in most physical, chemical and sensory characteristics compared to chocolate milk.
A reduction in the omega-6:omega-3 FA ratio may attenuate inflammation; inflammation has been linked to osteoporosis. Thus, a secondary analysis of data collected from 202 women was conducted to estimate the dietary omega-6:omega-3 FA ratio and examine relationships between the omega-6:omega-3 FA ratio and total body and site-specific bone mineral density (BMD). The omega-6:omega-3 FA ratio had no appreciable association with any measure of BMD in the overall sample of women or in younger or older subsamples of women.
In summary, consumers found flaxmilk to be an acceptable product, despite sensory and compositional differences compared to chocolate milk. The relationship between the omega-6:omega-3 FA ratio and BMD remains unclear.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
The design of modular products has recently become the focus of significant research in the area of design theory and methodology. This focus is the result of increased awareness of the potential power of modularity to achieve certain product objectives. However, there continues to be a gap between the results of academic research and industrial application. The refinement, consolidation, and extension of this academic research would help design teams who are charged with developing modular products to use these academic findings in real world, industrial applications. The research presented in this document focuses on developing design tools, based on past and present academic research, for use in industrial settings where the design of a modular product is the goal. In this document the many definitions and methods for classifying modular products are consolidated and refined. Through thisrefinement and consolidation a new scheme for classifying modularity types, the Modularity Type Space (MTS), is developed that not only succinctly defines the types of modularity, but shows the relationships between them. Metrics and heuristics are also presented that are helpful in identifying the type of modularity a product uses in its architecture. The MTS is presented as a tool to help design teams screen modular product designs for the purposes of concept selection based on the strategic goals that the product must achieve. Several examples, as well as a case study, are presented in this document to show how to use the tools contained herein and to illustrate their usefulness. With the modular product design tools developed in this document, design teams will be able to more quickly and cost-effectively design modular products that meet their desired strategic objectives.

Recommender systems play an important role in e-commerce websites as they improve the customer journey by helping the users find what they want at the right moment. These recommendations can be based on users’ characteristics, demographics, purchase or session history.In this thesis we focus on identifying complementary relationship between products in the case of the largest e-commerce company in the Netherlands. Complementary products are products that go well together, products that might be a necessity to the chosen product or simply a nice addition to it. At the company, there is big potential as complementary products increase the average purchase value and they exist for less than 20% of the whole catalog.We propose a content-based recommender system for detecting complemen- tary products, using a supervised deep learning approach that relies on Siamese Neural Network (SNN).The purpose of this thesis is three-fold; Firstly, the main goal is to create a SNN model that will be able to predict complementary products for any given product based on the content. For this purpose, we implement and compare two different models: Siamese Convolutional Neu- ral Network and Siamese Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Neural Network. We feed these neural networks with pairs of products taken from the company, which are either complementary or non-complementary. Secondly, the basic assumption of our approach is that most of the important features for a product are included in its title, but we conduct experiments including the product description and brand as well. Lastly, we propose an extension of the SNN approach to handle millions of products in a matter of seconds.∼As a result from the experiments, we conclude that Siamese LSTM can predict complementary products with highest accuracy of 85%. Our assumption that the title is the most valuable attribute was confirmed. In addition, trans- forming our solution to a K-nearest-neighbour problem in order to optimize it for millions of products gave promising results.Så mycket som det mångfaldiga och rika utbudet på e-handelswebbplatser hjälper användarna att hitta det de behöver på en marknadsplats, är online- katalogerna ibland för överväldigande. Rekommendationssystem en viktig roll på e-handelswebbplatser eftersom de förbättrar kundupplevelsen genom att hjälpa användarna att hitta vad de vill ha i rätt ögonblick. Dessa rekommen- dationer kan baseras på användarens egenskaper, demografi, inköps- eller ses- sionshistorik.I denna avhandling fokuserar vi på att identifiera komplementära förhållanden mellan produkter för det största e-handelsföretaget i Nederländerna. Komplet- terande produkter är produkter passar väl ihop, produkter som kan vara en nödvändighet för den valda produkten eller helt enkelt ett trevligt tillskott till den. På företaget finns det stor potential eftersom kompletterande produkter ökar det genomsnittliga inköpsvärdet och de tillhandahålls för mindre än 20% av hela katalogen.Vi föreslår ett innehållsbaserat rekommendationssystem för att upptäcka kom- pletterande produkter, med en övervakad strategi för inlärning som bygger på Siamese Neural Network (SNN). Syftet med denna avhandling är i tre steg; För det första är huvudmålet att skapa en SNN-modell som kan förutsäga komplet- terande produkter för en given produkt baserat på innehållet. För detta ändamål implementerar och jämför vi två olika modeller: Siamese Convolutional Neu- ral Network och Siamese Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Neural Network. Vi matar in data i dessa neurala nätverk med par produkter hämta- de från företaget, som antingen är komplementära eller icke-komplementära. Det andra grundläggande antagandet av vår metod att de flesta av de viktiga funktionerna för en produkt ingår i dess titel, men vi genomför också expe- riment inklusive produktbeskrivningen och varumärket. Slutligen föreslår vi en utvidgning av SNN-metoden för att hantera miljoner produkter på några sekunder.∼Som ett resultat av eperimenten drar vi slutsatsen att Siamese LSTM kan för- utsäga komplementära produkter med högsta noggrannhet på 85%. Vårt antagande att titeln är det mest värdefulla attributet bekräftades. Därtill är om- vandling av vår lösning till ett K-närmaste grannproblem för att optimera den för miljontals produkter gav lovande resultat.

Mestrado em BioquímicaEsta dissertação aborda a síntese de compostos do tipo cromona (4H-cromen-4-ona), em particular 2-benzilcromonas, com distintos padrões de substituição e também a avaliação da sua actividade anti-inflamatória e inibidora da acetilcolinesterase. As cromonas apresentam-se como sendo uma vasta classe de compostos naturais heterocíclicos contendo oxigénio e que representam o fragmento principal de diversos grupos de flavonoides amplamente distribuídos pela Natureza. Este tipo de compostos apresenta uma ampla gama de actividades biológicas e este esqueleto de cromona tem provado ser um núcleo estrutural crucial no domínio dos produtos naturais, na química orgânica sintética e em estudos de desenvolvimento de novas drogas, devido às suas características estruturais particulares e diversas propriedades farmacológicas. Por essas razões, o interesse no estudo da bioactividade e respectivas aplicações biológicas deste tipo de compostostem vindo a estimular a síntese de novos derivados de cromona e o desenvolvimento de cada vez mais estudos de relação estrutura-actividade. O principal objectivo deste projecto passa então pela síntese de novas 2-benzilcromonas, conjugando diferentes 2’-hidroxiacetofenonas e 2-fenilacetatos de etilo de forma a obter compostos com padrões de substituição distintos, e avaliar o seu potencial como agentes anti-inflamatórios e/ou inibidores da acetilcolinesterase. No primeiro capitulo, é realizada uma introdução, onde a estrutura química das cromonas e principais actividades biológicas são indicadas. Nesse mesmo capítulo, os métodos de síntese para a obtenção deste tipo de compostos são brevemente descritos e estudos de relação estrutura-actividade, desenvolvidos ao longo dos últimos anos, descritos de forma a perceber a influencia de diferentes substituintes. No segundo capítulo, os métodos de síntese realizados ao longo do projecto são descritos, seguidos das respectivas explicações mecanísticas e da completa caracterização estrutural dos compostos sintetizados, utilizando técnicas espectroscópicas como Ressonância Molecular Nuclear de 1H e 13C, Heteromolecular Single Quantum Coherence (HSQC) e Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation (HMBC), e espectrometria de massa. No terceiro capítulo, os resultados da avaliação biológica dos compostos serão apresentados, nomeadamente as suas actividades anti-inflamatória e inibidora da acetilcolinesterase. Através dos resultados obtidos, torna-se possível entender o efeito dos diferentes substituintes nessas actividades, sendo o composto 2-benzil-5-(benziloxi)-4H-cromen-4-ona (86.j) o mais promissor composto anti-inflamatório. Relativamente à actividade anti-acetilcolinesterase, o composto 2-(3,4-di-hidroxibenzil)-5-hidroxi-4H-cromen-4-ona (86.m) é o mais promissor. No quarto capítulo, uma extensa descrição dos procedimentos experimentais desenvolvidos, ao longo do nosso projecto, é apresentada, enquanto no último capítulo (Capítulo V) são apresentadas as conclusões finais sobre o trabalho realizado e as perspectivas futuras.
This dissertation approaches the synthesis of chromone (4H-chromen-4-one) type compounds, particularly 2-benzylchromones, with distinct substitution patterns and the evaluation of their anti-inflammatory and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities. Chromones are a wide class of naturally occurring oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds with a benzoannelated γ-pyrone and represent the core fragment of several groups of flavonoids widely distributed in nature. This type of compounds presents a wide range of biological activities and the chromone ring system has proven to be a crucial core in the domain of natural products, in synthetic organic chemistry and in drug discovery studies because of its particular structural features and diverse pharmacological properties. For these reasons, the interest in the study of their bioactivity and related biological applications has stimulated the synthesis of novel chromone derivatives and development of more and more structure-activity relationships. The main objective of this project concerns the synthesis of new 2-benzylchromones, conjugating different 2’-hydroxyacetophenones and ethyl 2-phenylacetates to obtain compounds with distinct substitution patterns, and evaluate their potential as anti-inflammatory and/or anti-acetylcholinesterase agents. In the first chapter, an introduction is made, where chromones chemical structure and their principal biological activities are indicated. In the same chapter, the most common synthetic methods for the obtention of chromones are briefly depicted and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, developed throughout the years, are described, highlighting the influence of different substituents. In the second chapter, the synthetic methods performed are described, followed by a mechanistic explanation and a complete structural characterization of the synthesized compounds, using spectroscopic techniques, like 1H and 13C Nuclear Molecular Resonance (NMR), Heteromolecular Single Quantum Coherence (HSQC) and Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation (HMBC), and mass spectrometry (MS). In a third chapter, the biological evaluation of our compounds is depicted, namely their anti-inflammatory and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities. From the results obtained, it is possible to understand the effect of different substituents in it, being compound 2-benzyl-5-(benzyloxy)-4H-chromen-4-one (86.j) the most promising anti-inflammatory one. Regarding the anti-acetylcholinesterase activity, compound 2-(3,4-dihydroxybenzyl)-5-hidroxy-4H-chromen-4-one (86.m) is the most promising. In chapter IV, an extensive description of the experimental procedures developed throughout our project are displayed, while in the final chapter (chapter V) the conclusions are drawn and some future perspectives presented.

Full textAbstract:
The monograph examines the practice of monitoring the sustainability of enterprises that are characterized by a high duration of the production (technological) cycle of manufacturing products. Such enterprises form such industries as ship and aircraft construction, heavy engineering, and radio electronics. Based on the identification of the features of economic behavior associated with the duration of the production cycle, the authors prove that monitoring and evaluation of the sustainability of such enterprises should be carried out using special methods and algorithms based on the use of the concept of business modeling. The monograph is based on the materials of shipbuilding as the most typical industry, which is formed by enterprises with a long production cycle. It can be useful for specialists in the evaluation of companies, accounting employees, managers of organizations, employees of scientific and consulting firms, students of business schools, teachers, graduate students and university students studying in the areas of training "Management" and "Economics", as well as in engineering and technology areas, and all students of the disciplines of economic, organizational and management cycles.

Adaptable products can meet different functional requirements in the product life cycle by adding or replacing function modules of the products. Product’s architecture builds relationships of functional modules to support feasibility of the adaptable products to be upgraded based on users’ needs. A final adaptable product is formed by the combination of different functional modules. This paper introduces a quantitative measure of product adaptability based on the product architecture, interface complexity and operation ability. Design efficiency of module interactions is introduced to evaluate product adaptability based on the design solution and related operation constraints of interactions. An electric vehicle is improved for the adaptability based on the proposed evaluation method.

Designing family of products require analysis and evaluation of performance for the entire product family. In the past, products were mainly mass-produced hence the use of CAD/CAE was restricted to developing and analyzing individual products. Since the products offered using a platform approach include a variety of products built upon a common platform, CAD/CAE tools need to be explored further to assist in customization of products according to the customer needs. In this paper we investigate the development of a Product Family FEA (PFFEA) module that can support FEA analysis of user customized product families members. Customer specifications for family members are gathered using the internet, users are allowed to scale and change configurations of products. These specifications are then used to automatically generate 3D solid models of the product and then perform FEA to determine feasibility of the customer specified product. In this paper, development of the PFFEA module is illustrated using a family of lawn trimmer and edger. The PFFEA module uses Pro/E to generate the solid model and ANSYS as the base FEA software.

For manufacturing companies it is important to develop and produce products that meet requirements from customers and investors. One key factor in meeting these requirements is the efficiency of the product development process. Design automation is a powerful tool to increase efficiency in that process resulting in shortened lead-time, improved product performance, and ultimately decreased cost. Further, automation is beneficial as it increases the ability to adapt products to new product specifications, which is critical to some categories of products. In this paper the retrieval and evaluation processes of the Case Based Reasoning (CBR) method are extended to include shape matching. This enhanced CBR method supports the reuse of existing components when introducing new variants of variant-rich products. The matching method is based on clearance analyzes and is performed during the retrieval of cases and supports the evaluation of suggestions. The method is described along with a prototype-system where the process of selecting components for roof racks for cars is targeted for automation. One specific component of the roof rack is targeted, namely a rubber pad used in the interface between the car roof and the rack.

Full textAbstract:
For consumer products, early design stages are often concerned with the product’s industrial design, with primary focus on the consumer’s product experience. At this stage, aspects such as manufacturability and robustness are often not thoroughly taken into account. Industrial design concepts not properly suited for manufacture, assembly and process variability can result in final products in which the appearance intent is not satisfactorily realized. This can have a negative impact on the customer’s product quality perception. If such problems are discovered late in the product development process, late design changes and increased project costs may follow. The main difficulty in evaluating perceived quality aspects during industrial design is that the product is still under development. It is not mature enough to enable prediction of the prerequisites for achieving high manufacturing quality. In this paper, we suggest that concepts instead could be evaluated as far as the intrinsic tendency of the product appearance to support manufacturing variation and other noise factors. This is addressed through the concept of visual robustness: the ability of a product’s visual appearance to stimulate the same product experience despite variety in its visual design properties. Here, a method is suggested based on the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). The method follows a structured procedure for addressing appearance issues.

Full textAbstract:
As well known, Kyoto was a capital city of Japan with one thousand years history. The long ancient culture brings out a serious of traditional craft products, such as ‘Kana-ami’ — a kind of metal wire network. ‘Kana-ami’ was all made by hand work, for this reason there was no industrial pollution produced during the manufacturing process. In other words, ‘Kana-ami’ is a kind of green manufacturing product, whose processing motion and working experience make a big effect on final products’ quality. Product’s quality was judged by the standard structure of ‘Kana-ami’, which was established and developed in the long course of history and culture. That aesthetical standard has already been consistently rooted into Japanese peoples’ heart deeply. Dated back to around 50 years before, there were about 30 handmade wire net shops in Kyoto. However, it has decreased dramatic until 7 shops now. Therefore, it is urgent time to pay attention to this severe reality and try to do something to keep this traditional culture wealth and continue green manufacturing technique, skill to the next generation. In this research, cooperating with ‘Kanaami Tsuji’ workshop, the excellent products of Mr.Tsuji and his son were chosen as the investigation subjects for Kana-ami’s structure comparison. As well known, ‘Kana-ami’ product made by Mr.Tsuji have already been widely accepted and preferred among Japanese people, even his son’s finish also has beautiful looking. Therefore, the main target of this study was to clarify the difference in shape and hexagon structure of ‘Kana-ami’ products made by Mr.Tsuji and his son through mathematical measurement. Based on this structure evaluation system, hexagon angles and length were discussed and analyzed in order to help his son and other beginners to inherit this Japanese traditional craft technology.

Full textAbstract:
Several of the currently available engineering design and software analysis packages are being utilized by designers in the early stages of the product life cycle for product modeling and evaluation. However, while the growing need for designing ‘sustainable’ products is increasingly being recognized, an overall lack of measurement tools and formal methods for sustainability assessment remains a void to be addressed. In order to provide a reliable and design-based evaluation approach, “product footprint” is proposed as a viable sustainability assessment metric for gauging the environmental impacts of products. Such an assessment system would give direct feedback to designers of the overall manufacturing impact, so that design modifications can be effected to minimize environmental costs while maintaining product quality and design intent. Further, since all the product structure information is needed throughout the entire product life cycle, the system must be capable of making such evaluations in a PLM environment. A methodology for computing an energy metric and thereby overall manufacturing footprint for sustainability assessment is developed using the Pro/ENGINEER CAD system for design and Pro/NC-MILL for detailed NC path planning for machining operations.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents the results of a research project aiming at developing an innovative framework for conceptual design of products based on innovative haptic interfaces. The framework consists of a CAD (Computer Aided Design) system enhanced with intuitive interaction tools and modalities for modeling, modification and evaluation of shapes. The system aims at exploiting designers’ skills in modeling products, improving the products design process by reducing the necessity to build several physical models for evaluating and testing the product designs. The system proposes an emotional engineering approach by supporting product designers in translating their sensibility into physical design factors, allowing easy and fast creation and evaluation of diverse shape solutions. The system requirements have been defined after observing designers during their daily work and translating the way they evaluate and modify shapes using hands and craft tools into specifications for the modeling system and the haptic tool. The system prototype has been tested by designers who have found it intuitive and effective to use.

Full textAbstract:
Product variety and improvements are the most important issues of today’s product development. Product family engineering is considered to be an effective approach to create new products that apply variability with decreased costs and time. However, given the environmental considerations, this study proposed sustainable product family planning which is a systematic design framework of product function; structure and lifecycle options (i.e. reduce, reuse and recycle). First, relationships between the diverse customer needs, product’s technical attributes and physical architecture are analyzed. Based on the analysis, certain product family plan including a product model change plan, a general product structure model, technical specifications and lifecycle options of each product in the family are established. A life cycle simulation tool is then developed for 1) easy building of various production strategies, product use scenarios and market competition cases, etc.; and 2) environmental and economic evaluations of the product family plan. A case study of personal computers (PCs) product family planning demonstrates an implementation of the proposed methods.

Full textAbstract:
Maintainability is an important product characteristic related to the product life-time operation and the operation cost. Maintainability increases product’s serviceability and decreases product’s maintenance cost. Product disassembability is one of the key factors of product maintainability. A disassembly is normally required for product repairing, product remanufacturing, components reusing, and materials recycling in the product life-cycle management. A better disassembly plan will improve efficiency of these processes for product maintainability. This paper introduces the product maintainability analysis based on the disassembly sequence evaluation. An AND/OR graph based disassembly analysis and the cost-based evaluation are introduced for the evaluation of product maintainability. The proposed data structure and methods are discussed. The system developed is demonstrated using a case study.

This paper outlines the development of a senior undergraduate course concerned with product design for environment. The course sits alongside other well established courses devoted to product design for manufacture and assembly and is aimed at giving students experience of the use of evaluation procedures that enable the environmental impact of products to be taken into account during product design. The course is partially project based and culminates in the students working in small groups to evaluate existing products. Based on this evaluation design changes are developed for improved environmental performance, including ease of recycling.

A framework and pilot tool for the risk-based prioritization and grouping of nano-enabled consumer products. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), August 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/41721.
Full textAbstract:
The use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in consumer products has expanded rapidly, revealing both innovative improvements over conventional materials, and the potential for novel risks to human health and the environment. As the number of new nano-enabled products and the volume of toxicity data on ENMs continues to grow, regulatory agencies like the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) – a small, independent federal agency responsible for protecting consumers from unreasonable risks associated with product use – will require the ability to screen and group a diverse array of nano-enabled consumer products based on their potential risks to consumers. Such prioritization would allow efficient allocation of limited resources for subsequent testing and evaluation of high-risk products and materials. To enable this grouping and prioritization for further testing, we developed a framework that establishes a prioritization score by evaluating a nano-enabled product's potential hazard and exposure, as well as additional consideration of regulatory importance. We integrate the framework into a pilot version software tool and, using a hypothetical case study, we demonstrate that the tool can effectively rank nano-enabled consumer products and can be adjusted for use by agencies with different priorities. The proposed decision-analytical framework and pilot-version tool presented here could enable a regulatory agency like the CPSC to triage reported safety concerns more effectively and allocate limited resources more efficiently.

The first mix (QBA_M1) consisted of 45% quarry by-products and 55% railroad ballast–sized 3×1 PCR. The second mix (QBA_M2) consisted of 31% and 69% quarry by-products and PCR, respectively. Two conventional ASI sections were also constructed conforming to Illinois Department of Transportation’s CS02 gradation. All sections consisted of a 9 in. (229 mm) QBA/PCR layer topped with a 3 in. (76 mm) dense-graded capping layer. Laboratory studies preceded the construction to recommend optimum quarry by-product content in the QBA materials and construction practice. The Illinois Center for Transportation research team monitored the quality and uniformity of the construction using nondestructive testing techniques such as dynamic cone penetrometer, lightweight deflectometer, and falling weight deflectometer. The segregation potential was monitored by visual inspection and imaging-based techniques. Short-term field evaluation of the constructed QBA layers, particularly QBA_M2 with a 31% quarry by-product content, showed no evidence of abnormal segregation and did not jeopardize the structural integrity of the QBA ASI layers, which had slightly lower but comparable strength and stiffness profiles to the conventional ASI sections. The use of QBA materials in ASI was field validated as a sustainable construction practice to provide stable pavement foundation layers.

This report presents findings of a research effort aimed at reviewing and updating existing Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) specifications and manuals regarding the use of geosynthetic materials in pavements. The project consisted of three tasks: evaluate current IDOT practice related to the use of geosynthetics; review research and state of the practice on geosynthetics applications, available products, design methods, and specifications; and propose recommendations for geosynthetic solutions in pavements to modernize IDOT’s practices and manuals. The review of IDOT specifications revealed that geotextiles are the most used geosynthetic product in Illinois, followed by geogrids. Several of IDOT’s manuals have comprehensive guidelines to properly design and construct pavements with geosynthetics, but several knowledge gaps and potential areas for modernization and adoption of new specifications still exist. Based on the review of the available design methods and the most relevant geosynthetic properties and characterization methods linked to field performance, several updates to IDOT’s practice were proposed. Areas of improvement are listed as follows. First, establish proper mechanisms for using geogrids, geocells, and geotextiles in subgrade restraint and base stabilization applications. This includes using shear wave transducers, i.e., bender elements, to quantify local stiffness enhancements and adopting the Giroud and Han design method for subgrade restraint applications. Second, update IDOT’s Subgrade Stability Manual to include property requirements for geogrids, geotextiles, and geocells suitable for subgrade restraint applications. Third, establish proper standards on stabilization, separation, and pumping resistance for geotextiles by incorporating recent research findings on geotextile clogging and permeability criteria. Fourth, promote the use of modern geosynthetic products, such as geotextiles with enhanced lateral drainage, and fifth, elaborate on proper methods for construction/quality control measures for pavements with geosynthetics.

Adaptive programming and management principles focused on learning, experimentation, and evidence-based decision making are gaining traction with donor agencies and implementing partners in international development. Adaptation calls for using learning to inform adjustments during project implementation. This requires information gathering methods that promote reflection, learning, and adaption, beyond reporting on pre-specified data. A focus on adaptation changes traditional thinking about program cycle. It both erases the boundaries between design, implementation, and evaluation and reframes thinking to consider the complexity of development problems and nonlinear change pathways.Supportive management structures and processes are crucial for fostering adaptive management. Implementers and donors are experimenting with how procurement, contracting, work planning, and reporting can be modified to foster adaptive programming. Well-designed monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems can go beyond meeting accountability and reporting requirements to produce data and learning for evidence-based decision making and adaptive management. It is important to continue experimenting and learning to integrate adaptive programming and management into the operational policies and practices of donor agencies, country partners, and implementers. We need to devote ongoing effort to build the evidence base for the contributions of adaptive management to achieving international development results.

Full textAbstract:
In response to the rapid influx of Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, south-east Bangladesh, Oxfam implemented a Fresh Food Voucher (FFV) programme in August 2017. Vouchers were distributed on a monthly basis from January 2018 to August 2019, with funding from ECHO and the DEC. The intervention aimed to ensure dignified access to a wide range of fresh food for vulnerable and food-insecure refugee households and to improve their nutritional status. The programme also aimed to support the local economy by making goods available from local market vendors, who sourced produce locally where possible. This report presents the key findings of the evaluation of the initiative, with lessons and recommendations. It is hoped that this will prove useful for agencies using voucher programming in the Rohingya response and elsewhere. It is also a contribution to the wider influencing agenda around market-based programming, including cash and vouchers.

Outcome Measure Harmonization and Data Infrastructure for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research in Depression: Report on Registry Configuration. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), November 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.23970/ahrqepcregistryoutcome.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Major depressive disorder is a common mental disorder. Many pressing questions regarding depression treatment and outcomes exist, and new, efficient research approaches are necessary to address them. The primary objective of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility and value of capturing the harmonized depression outcome measures in the clinical workflow and submitting these data to different registries. Secondary objectives include demonstrating the feasibility of using these data for patient-centered outcomes research and developing a toolkit to support registries interested in sharing data with external researchers. Methods: The harmonized outcome measures for depression were developed through a multi-stakeholder, consensus-based process supported by AHRQ. For this implementation effort, the PRIME Registry, sponsored by the American Board of Family Medicine, and PsychPRO, sponsored by the American Psychiatric Association, each recruited 10 pilot sites from existing registry sites, added the harmonized measures to the registry platform, and submitted the project for institutional review board review Results: The process of preparing each registry to calculate the harmonized measures produced three major findings. First, some clarifications were necessary to make the harmonized definitions operational. Second, some data necessary for the measures are not routinely captured in structured form (e.g., PHQ-9 item 9, adverse events, suicide ideation and behavior, and mortality data). Finally, capture of the PHQ-9 requires operational and technical modifications. The next phase of this project will focus collection of the baseline and follow-up PHQ-9s, as well as other supporting clinical documentation. In parallel to the data collection process, the project team will examine the feasibility of using natural language processing to extract information on PHQ-9 scores, adverse events, and suicidal behaviors from unstructured data. Conclusion: This pilot project represents the first practical implementation of the harmonized outcome measures for depression. Initial results indicate that it is feasible to calculate the measures within the two patient registries, although some challenges were encountered related to the harmonized definition specifications, the availability of the necessary data, and the clinical workflow for collecting the PHQ-9. The ongoing data collection period, combined with an evaluation of the utility of natural language processing for these measures, will produce more information about the practical challenges, value, and burden of using the harmonized measures in the primary care and mental health setting. These findings will be useful to inform future implementations of the harmonized depression outcome measures.
