Abstract:
Globalization and market competition drives new product development. As a consequence, companies are forced to eliminate products more frequently. However, the process of eliminating products is often overlooked both in academia and in practice. Omitting the product elimination process can lead to production inefficiencies and unnecessary costs of retaining the products. The results in this thesis discovers inconsistencies in the present product elimination process at PharmaCompany. The inconsistencies are grouped in the four categories: Interaction &amp; Collaboration, External Analysis, Resource Prioritization &amp; Decision Making, Proactivity Analysis. The main suggested improvements comprise a clearer internal communication, increased documentation and restructuring the current process design. In addition, reframing the current elimination process to emulate the academical approach is suggested in order to further legitimize the elimination process and increase interest on the area. The thesis concludes that a more standardized elimination process can lead to increased efficiency by adopting additional filters to identify and analyze underperforming products. Furthermore, the thesis increases awareness of the topic of product elimination and enhances the knowledge within the research area. By linking the product elimination process to the resource allocation process, the thesis marks the overall neglect of the topic, and gives insights on the need for increased attention towards the product elimination process.<br>Globaliseringen och ökad konkurrens har drivit på ny produktutveckling. Som en konsekvens tvingas företag att eliminera produkter mer frekvent. Borttagning av produkter har dock förbisetts både i den akademiska världen och i praktiken till förmån för andra forskningsämnen. Att utelämna produkt elimineringsprocessen kan leda till produktionsineffektivitet och onödiga kostnader för att behålla produkterna. Avhandlingen resulterar i upptäckten av flera brister i den nuvarande produktelimineringsprocessen på PharmaCompany. Bristerna är grupperade i större kategorier, Interaction &amp; Collaboration, External Analysis, Resource Prioritization &amp; Decision Making, Proactivity Analysis. De viktigaste föreslagna förbättringarna innefattar tydligare intern kommunikation, ökad dokumentation och omstrukturering av den nuvarande processdesignen. Dessutom föreslås omramning av den nuvarande eliminationsprocessen för att efterlikna den akademiska metoden för att ytterligare legitimera eliminationsprocessen och för att få högre prioritet inom resursallokeringsprocessen. Avhandlingen drar slutsatsen att en mer standardiserad eliminationsprocess kan hjälpa processen att bli effektivare genom att använda fler filter för att identifiera och analysera svaga produkter. Dessutom ökar avhandlingen medvetenheten om ämnet produkteliminering och förstärker kunskapen inom forskningsområdet. Genom att länka produktelimineringsprocessen till resursallokeringsprocessen markerar avhandlingen den övergripande försummelsen av ämnet och ger insikter om behovet av produktelimineringsprocessen behöver få högre fokus och forskning.

Abstract:
The present study represents an in-depth empirical investigation into the service elimination process in the British financial services sector. It aims to make a contribution towards the concise development of the literature on service elimination and to provide empirically based recommendations, which can improve the way financial service elimination is practised. The theoretical part of the study focused first on a review of the characteristics of services in general and of financial services in particular and of the service range management activities of financial institutions. Second, the literature on product and service elimination was reviewed. The bulk of this material refers to conceptual propositions and empirical evidence on elimination from manufacturing settings, while conceptual and empirical material from service and financial service settings is alarmingly sparse. The presents tudy conceptualisedth e service elimination process as consisting of three broad stages, a) the pre-elimination stage, b) the actual service elimination decision-making process and c) the post-elimination stage. The study adopted a research approach based on the broad hypothesis that service elimination decisions are not made in a vacuum (as the limited literature on service and financial service elimination assumes explicitly or implicitly) but that they are influenced by contextual organisational and environmental characteristics of companies. Based on the above conceptualisations, the research objectives were to a) identify the content of the service elimination process (i. e., the decision variables involved in the various steps of the process) b) measure the relative importance/frequency of use of the above content and c) measure the influence of a set of contextual independent variables on the relative importance/frequency of use of the content of the service elimination process. To meet the above research objectives, a pluralistic research method was adopted. For the identification component of the research objectives qualitative research (in-depth interviews) was conducted, while for the measurement component quantitative research was conducted(mail survey). The findings indicated that service elimination decisions were the outcome of a multi-step process, which with very few exceptions (i. e., the way in which British financial institutions identified financial services as candidates for elimination) was found to be largely informal and unsophisticated. Moreover service elimination was rated as the least important service range management activity and was allocated the least amount of resources (temporal, monetary and human). The findings also suggested that the content of the service elimination process was both similar and different to elimination practice in manufacturing settings. Among the most obvious similarities was the paramount importance of sales and profitability considerations in making products and financial services candidates for elimination. Among the most striking differences was that while a product is fully eliminated, partial elimination was the predominant outcome of the service elimination process in the studied setting. With regards to the contextual influence, it was found that the relative importance/frequency of the decision variables involved in the service elimination process varied in relation to the type and the size of individual financial institutions, the pursued overall business strategy, and degree of market orientation, the degree of formalisation of the service elimination process, the number of services in the range (service diversity), the type of financial service which is considered for elimination, the method of its delivery process, the intensity of competition and of the legislative environment and the volatility of the technological environment. As such, the findings confirmed the hypothesised dynamism of the service elimination decisions and suggested that any attempt to describe the service elimination process in a golden rule way that fits all companies, all financial services and all environmental circumstances would be misleading.

Abstract:
Increasing interest to optimization of goods incoming process has paralleled the rise of product diversity and advanced warehouse management based on logistics support systems. Nowadays, companies are universally faced with the requirements to reengineer their business processes starting with goods incoming operation, aiming to significantly reduce total operating costs and quickly respond to ultimate consumer. Previous academic research has provided many alternatives to attain the expected results. Nevertheless, an enormous gap still exists between theoretical research and practical operations. The purpose of this paper is to bridge this gap from operation level.We introduced a theoretical framework which was organized around earlier studies, latest findings and established literatures associated with overview of goods incoming process, flows management, seven wastes, logistics support systems etc. Meanwhile, an online fashion retailer, Nelly.com goods incoming process has been mapped from goods receiving, packing and sorting, warehousing to data input. As a result, intermittent material flows and information flows has been realized. Later on, a sensitivity analysis was performed to observe all wastes in the process through precise timing of each detailed activity. As the weaknesses and opportunities have been identified within Nelly’s goods incoming process, some heuristic solutions were proposed in the paper.Generally, flows should be smoothed and accelerated, particularly material flows and information flows related with goods incoming process. The interruption and miscommunication should be avoided to streamline the whole operation. Whilst, we inferred that all wastes within every sub-process have to be aware of. Consequently, some techniques such as scheduled delivery, cross-docking, goods classification, improved logistics support systems were proposed to eliminate wastes. Further on, the prevailed business process reengineering should be conducted as the next step to reallocate some resources or operations.Lastly, we simulated an expected goods incoming process based on Nelly’s status quo and heuristic suggestions. And some future research issues have been presented at the end to extend the vision to relevant domains.

Abstract:
El desenvolupament del sistema nerviós perifèric implica una inicial exuberant producció de neurones i, una posterior reducció dependent de l'activitat del nombre de sinapsis de les unions neuromusculars (NMJ). Aquest procés s’anomena eliminació sinàptica. Al final de la primera setmana postnatal, cada fibra muscular està innervada per una sola motoneurona. Els receptors muscarínics d’acetilcolina (mAChR), els receptors d’adenosina (AR) i el receptor cinasa de tropomiosina B (TrkB) podrien permetre la competició entre terminals nerviosos durant el procés d’eliminació sinàptica mitjançant la modulació de l’alliberament d’acetilcolina. En aquesta tesi s’ha investigat, mitjançant microscòpia confocal i un anàlisi morfològic quantitatiu, el paper dels receptors mAChRs (M1, M2 i M4), dels AR (A1 i A2A) i del receptor TrkB en el procés d’eliminació en el desenvolupament de la NMJ. Els resultats mostren que els receptors mAChRs, AR i el receptor TrkB promouen una desconnexió axonal al principi de la segona setmana postnatal independentment de la maduració dels receptors d’acetilcolina postsinàptics. En resum, els receptors mAChRs, AR i el receptor TrkB endarrereixen el procés d’eliminació sinàptica a P7 però l’acceleren a P9. Pel que fa la cooperació d’aquests receptors, M4 produeix un efecte oclusiu sobre M1 i un efecte additiu sobre a P7. La cooperació entre els receptors M1, A1 i A2A promou la pèrdua axonal a P9, mentre que, l’efecte de M2 és independent dels altres receptors. El M1 i TrkB treballen junts per incrementar la pèrdua axonal a P9 independentment dels receptors M2 i TrkB. En conclusió, l’eliminació sinàptica postnatal és regulada per un mecanisme que depèn de varis receptors, involucrant la cooperació dels diferents subtipus de receptors muscarínics, d’adenosina i el receptor TrkB, els quals garanteixen la monoinnervació de les sinapsis neuromusculars al final del procés.<br>El desarrollo del sistema nervioso periférico implica una inicial exuberante producción de neuronas y, una posterior reducción dependiente de actividad del número de sinapsis en las uniones neuromusculares (NMJ).

En esta tesis se ha investigado, mediante microscopía confocal y un análisis morfológico cuantitativo, el papel de los receptores mAChRs (M1, M2 y M4), de los receptores de adenosina (A1 y A2A) y del receptor TrkB en el del proceso de eliminación en el desarrollo de la NMJ. Los resultados muestran que los receptores mAChRs, AR y el receptor TrkB promueven una desconexión axonal al inicio de la segunda semana postnatal independientemente de la maduración de los receptores de acetilcolina postsinápticos. En resumen, los receptores mAChRs, AR y el receptor TrkB retrasan el proceso de eliminación sináptica en P7 pero lo aceleran en P9. En la cooperación de estos receptores, se ha demostrado que M4 produce un efecto oclusivo sobre M1 y aditivo sobre A1 en P7. La cooperación entre M1, A1 y A2A promueve la pérdida axonal en P9, mientras que M2 es independiente de los otros receptores. M1 y TrkB cooperan para incrementar la pérdida axonal en P9 independientemente de M2 y TrkB. En conclusión, la eliminación sináptica postnatal está regulada por un mecanismo que depende de varios receptores, involucrando la cooperación de diferentes subtipos de receptores muscarínicos, de adenosina y el receptor TrkB, los cuales garantizan la monoinnervación de las sinapsis neuromusculares al final del proceso. saludable.<br>The development of the peripheral nervous system involves an initially exuberant production of neurons and a subsequent activity-dependent reduction in the number of synapses at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJ). This process is called synaptic elimination. At the end of the first postnatal week, each muscle fiber is innervated by a single motoneuron. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR), adenosine receptors (AR) and the tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) receptor may allow the direct competition between nerve endings during synapse elimination through the modulation of acetylcholine release. Here, it has been investigated by confocal microscopy and quantitative morphological analysis the involvement of the individual and synergic or oclusive effect of M1-, M2- and M4-subtypes of mAChRs, A1 and A2A of ARs and TrkB in the control of the axonal elimination in developing NMJ. The results show that mAChRs, ARs and TrkB promote axonal disconnection at the beginning of the second postnatal week without affecting the postsynaptic maturation of the nicotinic receptor cluster. In summary, mAChRs, ARs and TrkB delay axonal loss at P7 but accelerate it at P9. In terms of receptor cooperation, M4 produces some occlusion of the M1 pathway and some addition to the A1 pathway at P7. The cooperation between M1, A1 and A2A receptors promotes axonal loss at P9, whereas the effect of M2 is independent of the other receptors. M1 and TrkB receptors work together to increase axonal loss rate at P9 but the effect of M2 is largely independent of the TrkB receptor. In conclusion, postnatal synapse elimination is a regulated multireceptor mechanism involving the cooperation of several muscarinic, adenosine and TrkB receptor subtypes that guarantees the monoinnervation of the neuromuscular synapses in the end of the process.

Course: Degree project in logistics, the Business Administration and Economics Programme Authors: Anna Jarenfors and Sissela Järsö Supervisor: Hana Hulthén Examiner: Helena Forslund Title: IPREP: Framework for elimination of an internal return process – A case study at Thule Sweden AB Background: Logistics coordination plays an important role regarding the competitive success of an organization. A company has to eliminate unnecessary processes involved in the supply chain in order to decrease cost and to improve the business. This study focuses on the problems with the internal return process at Thule Sweden AB. Thule Sweden AB has in the last decade had an increased production which have had led to a larger material flow which have impacted the internal return process negatively. The internal return process is, in this study, defined as the process where unused material in production is sent back to the warehouse. Purpose: The purposes of this study is to present suggestions of how the internal return process at Thule can be eliminated and construct a framework of how manufacturing companies can eliminate unnecessary internal return processes. Methodology: The study is a qualitative case study with an abductive approach of the internal return process at Thule Sweden AB. The theories used in the study are found from literature and scientific articles while empirical data has been collected mainly through semi-structured interviews and observations. The selection of interviewees has been based on what knowledge they carry and what responsibility they have in the company. Findings: A process map over the internal return process illustrated three general causes creating an internal return. These were incorrect material delivered to production, incorrect stock balance and leftover material after production. The three general causes found formed the basis of a fishbone diagram which identified seven root causes. The seven root causes presented were, not able to scan the barcode on the pallets, pallet put at incorrect production line, incorrect previous internal return, lack of stock counting at internal return, insufficiency in the material- and production planning, suppliers not able to produce in batch size and no kitting station. Suggestions of how to eliminate an internal return process were presented and the fundamental categories of the framework presented were integration, personnel, routines, environment and planning.   Key words: Internal return process, process elimination, general cause, root cause, framework, manufacturing company<br>Kurs: Examensarbete i logistik för Civilekonomprogrammet Författare: Anna Jarenfors and Sissela Järsö Handledare: Hana Hulthén Examinator: Helena Forslund Titel: IPREP: Framework for elimination of an internal return process – A case study at Thule Sweden AB Bakgrund: Logistikkoordinering spelar en viktig roll för ett företags konkurrenskraft. Ett företag måste eliminera onödiga processer i en försörjningskedja för att minska kostnader och förbättra verksamheten. Denna studie fokuserar på den interna returprocessen på Thule Sweden AB. Thule Sweden AB har under det senaste decenniet haft en ökad produktion vilket lett till ett större materialflöde som påverkat den interna returprocessen negativt. Den interna returprocesses är i denna studie definierad som den process där oanvänt material i produktion returneras till lagret. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att presentera förslag till hur den interna returprocessen kan elimineras samt att presentera ett ramverk över hur tillverkande företag kan eliminera onödiga interna returprocesser. Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ fallstudie, med ett abduktivt synsätt, över den interna returprocessen på Thule Sweden AB Teorierna använda i studien utgår från litterära källor samt vetenskapliga artiklar medan empirisk data samlats in mestadels från semi-strukturerade intervjuer och observationer. Urvalet av intervjurespondenter har baserats på vilket kunskap de erhåller samt vilka ansvarsområden de har i företaget. Resultat: En processkarta över den interna returprocessen illustrerade tre generella orsaker till det processen. Dessa var fel material levererat till produktion, felaktigt lagersaldo och överblivet material efter produktion. De tre generella orsakerna utgjorde grunden till ett fiskbensdiagram vilket identifierade sju rotorsaker till den interna returprocessen. De sju rotorsakerna var: omöjlighet att skanna streckkoden på pallen, pall transporterad till fel produktionslinje, felaktig tidigare intern returprocess, brist på inventeringsrutiner vid intern returprocess, ineffektivitet i material- och produktionsplaneringen, att leverantörer inte kan producera i batch-storlek samt brist på kittingstation. Förslag på hur den interna returprocessen kan elimineras presenterade och grundstenarna i det ramverk som presenterade var integration, personal, rutiner, omgivning och planering. Nyckelord: Intern returprocess, processeliminering, generell orsak, rotorsak, ramverk, tillverkande företag

However, these choice-from-array tasks allow for the use of a process of elimination strategy in which children could select an expression they are unfamiliar with when presented a label that does not apply to other expressions in the array. Across six studies (N = 144), 80% of 2- to 4-year-olds selected a novel expression when presented a target label and performed similarly when the label was novel (such as pax) or familiar (such as fear). In addition, 46% of children went on to freely label the expression with the target label in a subsequent task. These data are the first to show that children extend the process of elimination strategy to facial expressions and also call into question the findings of prior choice-from-array studies<br>Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2011<br>Submitted to: Boston College.

Abstract:
The textile industry is an important foundation of Ecuadors economy because of its contribution through the generation of jobs for unskilled labor and tight integration with other industry such as the agricultural industry, livestock, plastics and chemistry. Within this sector is sub sector Apparel, which is taken as a reference and represents 27 percent of production in the Textile Industry. The project aims to develop a methodology to transform small and medium companies to lean manufacturing Enterprises. It seeks to define and evaluate administrative, production and service processes in a textile company which manufactures garment apparel, define problems in these processes, raise improvement plans and recommendations for themselves and determine a simulation model to search for the feasibility of the proposed improvement model designed. Some of the most important problems identified in the companies in this sector are the following: the high number of errors in production processes described informally by officials; a poor system for inventory control of raw materials; work in processes, finished products, production processes, and a disorganized workplace-office.

Abstract:
Successful deposition of thick copper coatings on low carbon steel is a challenge for the Cold Gas Dynamic Spray (CGDS) process if one is to avoid the use of helium as the process gas for the initial pre-coat layer. The issue stems from the presence of accumulated residual stresses, which causes delamination of the weakly bonded coating. Even after exploring different deposition parameters, several copper powders and various steel substrate preparations, copper coating delamination still occurs. The purpose of the current study is to produce copper coatings using only nitrogen as the process gas, while avoiding delamination of the deposited material. To this end, the current work focuses on the study of the effect of steel substrate temperature on particle deposition and adhesion processes. Steel substrates were heated to temperatures between 25°C and 600°C using induction heating and laser. Once the substrate reached the desired temperature, three different copper particle sizes were deposited using the CGDS process. Individual particle impact tests (wipe-tests) were performed to characterize bonded particles and craters from rebounded particles. Further analysis was performed by extracting particles from the surface to understand the effect of substrate temperature and particle size on the particle/substrate deformation and bonding processes. Mechanical adhesion prediction modeling at substrate preheated was also performed to obtain a greater understanding of the bonding mechanism. This prediction is in order to compare with the coating developed with a bond layer coating with helium as process gas and then build the rest of the coating with nitrogen. The experimental results show a significant trend as the substrate temperature increases, indicating proper conditions for enhanced adhesion.

ERAS means "Early Recovery After Surgery" and the purpose of the health care program is to accelerate recovery after colorectal surgery. The study had a descriptive design and a quantitative approach, in which 51 patient records were included. Log books and patient records were reviewed postoperatively. According to the log books estimated most of the patients, who had documented, that they ate and drank very good or good. According to nursing documentation most of the patients ate ordinary food and drank nutritional drinks. According to the log books, the mean and median were about two drinks per day while nursing documentation varied. According to the log books, the median first stool after surgery was two days and according to the nursing documentation three days. The median number of walks in the corridor varied from 2-3 (log books) to two walks each day (nursing documentation). Epidural analgesia was the most common analgesia. The mean number of hospital days was 8.4 days (median 7 days). The conclusion is that few ERAS patients achieved the targets set at the hospital.

Abstract:
On their journey to improve manufacturing processes by implementing Lean and Agile production principles, many small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), world- and industry-wide, lose grip after initial efforts, or even abandon their plans later because of many reasons. To support those and similar SMEs and to make their Lean and Agile visions become reality, this thesis report describes the case of a small traditional German wholesale firm in the initial stage of analysing and improving processes, as well as workshop structures according to contemporary literature and manufacturing improvement theories. The results of this report give the management and decision makers of this or similar organisations an idea and valuable recommendations, of how to gain and maintain the advantages of a lean and agile production. Overall it was found that SMEs such as the analysed organisation, need to vigorously implement changes from an overarching systematic level to the very detail of shop floor activities, while equally considering cultural as well as human, technological, and organisational aspects, to be successful.

Abstract:
Le rôle des espèces oxydantes produites en phase gazeuse a été étudié dans deux procédés plasmas non-thermiques appliqués au traitement de l'eau : le procédé Glidarc et le procédé à Décharge à Barrière Diélectrique (DBD) à film tombant. Trois polluants organiques modèles ont été traités dans les deux types de réacteurs. Les résultats obtenus, du plus facile au moins facile à être éliminé, sont les suivants : Phénol >> Heptanol > pCBA pour le réacteur Glidarc et Heptanol >> Phénol > pCBA pour la décharge DBD. Les différences entre les deux réacteurs sont dues non seulement à la qualité et à la quantité des espèces actives générées, mais aussi au transfert de matière à l'interface gaz-liquide. Les mécanismes d'élimination diffèrent également selon les caractéristiques du polluant traité. Le phénol réagit fortement avec les radicaux °NO2 produits par dissociation du N2O4 en phase liquide. Pour le 1-Heptanol, l'élimination procède par désorption assistée par les réactions en phase gazeuse avec les espèces à courte durée de vie. Pour ce type de polluant, le réacteur DBD est le plus performant à cause en partie d'un transfert de matière très efficace dû aux mouvements de convection générés dans le liquide par la décharge. Dans le cas du pCBA, le taux de conversion est faible dans les deux procédés à cause de la production insuffisante de radicaux OH° en solution. Enfin, une simulation numérique a permis de valider les mécanismes d'élimination proposés

Abstract:
L'élimination des polluants d'un mélange gazeux est un enjeu majeur en termes de réduction de l'impact environnemental de nombreux procédés industriels. Les liquides ioniques sont des solvants de remplacement prometteurs pour les composés organiques traditionnels utilisés dans la séparation sélective en raison de leur pression de vapeur négligeable et de leurs propriétés chimico-physiques concevables. Dans cette étude, un nouveau concept, la combinaison des IL et d'une membrane céramique tubulaire (ILM), a été développé dans le but de séparer les gaz ou les liquides des flux d'alimentation. Par rapport aux procédés classiques d'élimination des gaz ou des liquides, les ILM offrent une grande stabilité et une résistance mécanique élevée pendant une longue période de fonctionnement. Dans le cas des traitements de gaz, l'élimination de l'humidité pour protéger le capteur de gaz et le traitement du gaz industriel contenant du toluène sont les deux parties développées dans ce manuscrit. Les effets de plusieurs paramètres de fonctionnement, notamment le débit de gaz, la température, la pression, la concentration d'alimentation, la surface effective de la membrane (longueur de la membrane de support) et la position des canaux de gaz, ont été étudiés à la fois sur l'élimination de l'humidité et du toluène (vapeur). En outre, un modèle mathématique en deux étapes a été utilisé pour simuler les résultats expérimentaux et évaluer la performance de séparation des MIL dans les conditions de fonctionnement proposées. Selon les résultats expérimentaux et simulés, les ILM présentaient une capacité d'absorption relativement élevée de l'humidité et du toluène. Ce nouveau procédé ILM sera le procédé vert dominant pour la séparation des polluants gazeux ou liquides<br>The removal of pollutants from a gas mixture is a major issue in terms of minimizing the environment impact of numerous industrial processes. Ionic liquids are promising alternative solvents for traditional organic compounds using in selective separation due to their negligible vapor pressure and designable chemic-physical properties. In this study, a new concept, combination of ILs and a tubular ceramic membrane (ILM), has been developed with the aim of gas or liquid separation from feed streams. Comparing to conventional gas or liquid removal processes, ILMs provide high stability and mechanical resistance during long-time operation. Moreover, specific properties of ILs ensure selectivity and absorption capacity of ILMs. In the case of gas treatments, removal of humidity to protect gas sensor and treatment of industrial gas containing toluene are the two parts developed in this manuscript. Effects of several operating parameters, including gas flow rate, temperature, pressure, feed concentration, effective surface area of membrane (length of the support membrane) and position of gas channels, were investigated both on humidity and toluene (vapor) removal. In addition, a two-step model was used to simulate experimental results and evaluate the separation performance of ILMs. According to both experimental and simulated results, ILMs exhibited relative high absorption capacity of humidity and toluene. This new ILM process will be the dominating green processes for gas or liquid pollutants separation

Abstract:
A modified two-element membrane pressure vessel assembly has been used to monitor process operational changes in a full-scale reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment plant (WTP). This study evaluated the effectiveness of the assembly as an on-line monitoring device intended to detect scale formation conditions when connected to an operating RO process train. This study was implemented to support the requirements of a larger University of Central Florida (UCF) research project ongoing at the city of Sarasota's Public Works and Utilities (City) water treatment facilities located in Sarasota, Florida. During the time-frame of this study, the City was in the process of eliminating their sulfuric acid feed from the pretreatment system of their existing 4.5 million gallon per day (MGD) RO membrane process. The City was motivated to eliminate its dependence on sulfuric acid to reduce operating costs as well as reduce operation health and safety risks associated with the use of the acid as a pretreatment chemical. Because the City was concerned with secondary process impacts associated with acid elimination, additional measures were desired in order to protect the full-scale process. This thesis reports on the design, fabrication and installation of a third-stage two membrane element pressure vessel “canary” sentinel monitoring device (Canary), its effectiveness as an on-line scaling monitor during full-scale acid elimination, and presents the results of the study. The Canary sentinel device was controlled using the normalized specific flux of the two membrane elements fed by a portion of the second stage concentrate of one of the City's full-scale RO process skids. Although the Canary demonstrated the ability to detect changes in an RO process operation, scaling did not occur under the conditions evaluated in this study. An autopsy of one of the Canary elements revealed that no scaling had occurred during the acid elimination process. Therefore, the Canary was found to be useful in its function as a sentinel, even though no scaling was detected by the device after acid elimination at the City's full-scale plant had been accomplished.<br>ID: 031001503; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Adviser: Steven J.

Abstract:
Face à la pollution persistante des eaux naturelles par les pesticides, le charbon actif en grain (CAG) représente une réelle possibilité de traitement, de plus en plus souvent mis en œuvre en potabilisation. L'efficacité de ce traitement dépend des équilibres et des cinétiques d'adsorption, de l'hydrodynamique du réacteur et de la compétition avec la matière organique naturelle contenue dans les eaux brutes destinées à la potabilisation. Dans ce cadre, l'objectif de cette recherche est double : élaborer un protocole d'acquisition des paramètres d'équilibre et de cinétique d'adsorption compétitive et concevoir un logiciel de simulation de l'adsorption sur lit de CAG. L'approche théorique s'appuie sur : (1) le modèle de la diffusion de surface homogène (HSDM) qui prend en compte le coefficient de transfert de masse externe (kf) et le coefficient de diffusion superficielle (Ds) pour modéliser la cinétique d'adsorption, (2) la théorie de la solution adsorbée idéale (IAST) pour modéliser la compétition et (3) l'introduction d'un composé fictif (EBC) qui représente la matière organique naturelle. Le travail expérimental consiste d'une part à réaliser des isothermes d'adsorption sur l'eau ultra pure, l'eau réelle et l'eau réelle diluée par de l'eau ultra pure afin d'obtenir les paramètres d'équilibre. D'autre part, des cinétiques d'adsorption, effectuées sur colonne différentielle d'adsorption (DCBR), permettent d'acquérir les coefficients de diffusion superficielle. Les programmes de simulation ont été conçus, écrits et validés sur plusieurs résultats issus de la littérature. Ces programmes ont ensuite été impliqués dans le protocole global de simulation du filtre de charbon actif en grain réel. Pour une eau naturelle, ce protocole a été mis en œuvre sur trois pesticides et deux charbons actifs en grain.

Abstract:
Many critical services are necessarily long-running. However, this creates a large temporal surface that is an alluring target for attackers, both in terms of the increased opportunity to find an exploit and the length of time a service is owned once exploited. While in some instances it may be possible to perform periodic restarts to reduce the window of exploitation and return a service to its fresh, unexploited operational status, this carries with it a high cost. The more often it is restarted, the larger the unavailability due to reinitialisation of the service. Furthermore, it must recover its persistent state, which is not always possible. In order to protect these services, we propose a form of virtual machine disaggregation which partitions a service into two parts: code (logic) and state (data). Each lives in its own virtual machine, with communication performed over a narrow, well defined interface on which policy can be externally enforced to ensure correctness. This separation enables a service to be continually restarted by rolling back only the code virtual machine to a snapshotted known good state, which can be measured and attested. This prevents exploits from persisting while still maintaining good performance.

Abstract:
Dans un contexte de raréfaction de la ressource en eau, le traitement des eaux usées peut permettre de constituer des réserves d’eau durables et valorisables pour des usages variés tels que l’irrigation des cultures, la recharge de nappe phréatique ou encore une utilisation directe par les industries grandes consommatrices d’eau (cimenterie, aciéries…). Ainsi, la nécessité d’améliorer le traitement des eaux usées en sortie de STEU devient primordial afin d’assurer une qualité chimique et microbiologique de l’eau compatible avec sa réutilisation. Le traitement des micropolluants constitue notamment un nouveau défi pour les STEU. Si des projets de recyclage des eaux usées émergent pour les grandes STEU, le potentiel des petites ou moyennes STEU, qui constituent près de 90% des installations en France, reste inexploité à l’heure actuelle. Pour y remédier, les procédés d’oxydation avancée, notamment ceux basés sur l’UV, se présentent comme des solutions de traitement prometteuses. L’objectif de cette étude est de démontrer que la technologie UV/H2O2 est efficace et économiquement réaliste pour la désinfection et l’élimination des micropolluants organiques dans ces petites et moyennes STEU. Dans une première phase, un pilote de laboratoire UV/H2O2 a été évalué en conditions réelles (débit, matrice) sur des modèles bactériens et sur des micropolluants estrogéniques (E1, E2 et EE2) dans les eaux usées traitées d’une STEU. L’efficacité du traitement est comparée à celle de la photolyse seule. Il a été montré que le traitement UV/H2O2 permet une amélioration de la désinfection en assurant une destruction des bactéries contrairement à la photolyse seule qui ne fait qu’inactiver les micro-organismes. D’autre part, les doses UV (plus petit 600 mJ/cm²) et les concentrations en H2O2 étudiées (30-50 mg/L d’H2O2) permettent d’abattre plus de 80% de l’ensemble des micropolluants ciblés et de l’activité biologique (estrogénicité) associée, sans former de sous-produits estrogéniques ou toxiques au regard des tests d’activité employés dans l’étude (YES et Vibrio Fisheri). Parallèlement, il a été montré que le procédé UV/H2O2 est également efficace pour éliminer plus de 70% des produits pharmaceutiques (diclofénac, ibuprofène et naproxène) à 1000 mJ/cm². Sur la base des paramètres de traitement établis en pilote de laboratoire, un prototype a été dimensionné pour la STEU de Vercia (filtre planté de roseaux, 1100 EH, Jura). Les conditions de traitement mises en œuvre (dose UV plus pertit 1000 mJ/cm², [H2O2] = 15 mg/L) ont permis d’obtenir une eau de très haute qualité bactériologique et des abattements des micropolluants suivis supérieurs à 90%. Cette expérimentation à échelle réelle a permis d’estimer le coût global de cette technologie à environ 0,28 €/m³. L’ensemble de ce travail de recherche conclue à l’efficacité et au fort potentiel de la technologie UV/H2O2 pour le recyclage des eaux usées traitées des petites et moyennes STEU<br>Water scarcity is a growing concern worldwide. In this context, treated wastewater is seen as a sustainable water resource which could be used for different purposes such as irrigation, groundwater recharge or industrial activities. Reclaimed water is an environmentally and economically solution, still poorly developed in France. However, an increasing demand is expected in the coming years. Therefore, treatment enhancement in wastewater treatment plant could be necessary in order to meet chemical and biological water quality requirements which will depend on the final use of the treated water. The treatment of emerging micropollutants is one of the new challenge WTP will have to cope with. Enhanced treatment processes (ozonation, activated carbon, membrane filtration) have already been set up in large WTP but small and medium WTP, representing around 90% of the French WTP, are still lacking of affordable treatment solutions. However, UV based advanced oxidation process (AOP) could be a promising technology in order to produce a water of high quality. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that UV/H2O2 process is technically and economically efficient for the disinfection and the removal of micropollutants in small and medium WTP. First of all, a UV/H2O2 pilot at a laboratory scale was assessed on bacterial models as well as estrogenic micropollutants (E1, E2 and EE2) in treated wastewater. Treatment efficiency was compared to UV photolysis. It was shown that UV/H2O2 treatment increased the disinfection process by destroying the cellular membrane integrity whereas the UV photolysis could only inactive the bacteria. Moreover, when combining UV (plus petit 600 mJ/cm²) and H2O2 (30-50 mg/L), above 80% of the estrogenic compounds and the associated estrogenic activity could be removed. No high estrogenic or toxic by-products were detected by the two bioassays used in this study (YES and vibrio fisheri). The UV/H2O2 process could also degrade pharmaceuticals such as diclofenac, ibuprofen and naproxen (&gt;70 % at 1000 mJ/cm²). In a second part, a full scale pilot was designed based on the previous results and set up in a WTP in Vercia (Jura). The treatment (UV fluence ≈ 1000 mJ/cm², [H2O2] = 15 mg/L) allowed to obtain a water of a very high bacteriological and chemical quality. The global cost of the process was estimated at around 0.28 €/m³. This study demonstrates the efficiency of the UV/H2O2 process in a small WTP and its high potential for reclaimed water production

Abstract:
Process improvement is one of the challenging tasks within manufacturing companies. This study has been focused on analysing a packaging station by using a discrete event simulation tool. Packaging is an important part of the production and logistics process, but it is seldom considered when analysing non-value added activities. Discrete event simulation has been used in the analysis of non-value added activities in production systems, but noted by the low number of articles related to the usage of discrete event simulation within packaging, there exists a limited understanding of discrete event simulation use in this area. The authors divided the scope of the research into the following research questions, which are presented below: RQ1: How can discrete event simulation be used as a tool to identify time wastes and create efficiency in a packaging station? RQ2: What method is suitable when creating a simulation project? These questions were to be answered by performing a literature review and a case study in ABB AB Control Products Vasteras, mentioned as ABB in later in the thesis, where the packaging station were in need of improvements. The results from theoretical and empirical finding were analysed, they highlight the importance of packaging and its impact on logistics and supply chain management performance. By creating discrete event simulation models for both current and future stage, the authors were able to provide analysed improvements of the packaging station. The result of the models illustrated by implementing the improvements it could generate in less pressure on the operators as well as an approximated improvement of 125% more packed product. The improvements of the model involve a better material handling and a more optimized packaging station in order to create a more efficient workstation. The conclusion of the study is that the company should develop the product simultaneously as the production, were every activity and process should be included. They should also consider what impacts the development has on the entire supply chain.  This could be a way to eliminate non-value activities from the start.  Discrete event simulation is a tool that could be of help when visualizing the process and it allows the developers to see the impact of a change or improvement on the other processes.

Abstract:
O escopo desta dissertação é o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia para a detecção e diagnóstico de falhas em processos industriais baseado em modelos empíricos no subespaço das variáveis do processo com expansão não linear das bases. A detecção e o diagnóstico de falhas são fundamentais para aumentar a segurança, confiabilidade e lucratividade de processos industriais. Métodos qualitativos, quantitativos e baseados em dados históricos do processo têm sido estudados amplamente. Para demonstrar as vantagens da metodologia proposta, ela será comparada com duas metodologias consideradas padrão, uma baseada em Análise de Componentes Principais (PCA) e a outra baseada em Mínimos Quadrados Parciais (PLS). Dois estudos de casos são empregados nessa comparação. O primeiro consiste em um tanque de aquecimento com mistura e o segundo contempla o estudo de caso do processo da Tennessee Eastman. As vantagens da metodologia proposta consistem na redução da dimensionalidade dos dados a serem usados para um diagnóstico adequado, além de detectar efetivamente a anormalidade e identificar as variáveis mais relacionadas à falha, permitindo um melhor diagnóstico. Além disso, devido à expansão das bases dos modelos é possível trabalhar efetivamente com sistemas não lineares, através de funções polinomiais e exponenciais dentro do modelo. Adicionalmente o trabalho contém uma metodologia de validação dos resultados da metodologia proposta, que consiste na eliminação das variáveis do melhor modelo obtido pelos Modelos Empíricos, através do método Backward Elimination. A metodologia proposta forneceu bons resultados na área do diagnóstico de falhas: conseguiu-se uma grande diminuição da dimensionalidade nos sistemas estudados em até 93,55%, bem como uma correta detecção de anormalidades e permitiu a determinação das variáveis mais relacionadas às anormalidades do processo. As comparações feitas com as metodologias padrões permitiram demonstrar que a metodologia proposta tem resultados superiores, pois consegue detectar as anormalidades em um espaço dimensional reduzido, detectando comportamentos não lineares e diminuindo incertezas.<br>Fault detection and diagnosis are critical to increasing the safety, reliability, and profitability of industrial processes. Qualitative and quantitative methods and process historical data have been extensively studied. This article proposes a methodology for fault detection and diagnosis, based on historical data of processes and the creation of empirical models with the expansion of nonlinear bases (polynomial and exponential bases) and regularization techniques. To demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach, it is compared with two standard methodologies: Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and the Partial Least Squares (PLS), performed in two case studies: a mixed heating tank and the Tennessee Eastman Process. The advantages of the proposed methodology are the reduction of the dimensionality of the data used, in addition to the effective detection of abnormalities, identifying the variables most related to the fault. Furthermore, the work contains a methodology to validate the diagnosis results consisting of variable elimination from the best empirical models with the Backward Elimination algorithm. The proposed methodology achieved a promising performance, since it can decrease the dimensionality of the studied systems up to 93.55%, reducing uncertainties, and capturing nonlinear behaviors.

Abstract:
碩士<br>義守大學<br>管理研究所碩士班<br>93<br>Product Elimination Decision consisted of multi-layers and was influenced by different factors. The research reviewed the influential factors from past literature, plus the supply key and marketing’s point of view, and then separated the standard of Product Elimination Decision into sale aspect, production aspect, and exterior factors. By the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach in Multi-Criteria Evaluation, one could build a new Product Elimination Decision with overall concern and complement evaluation. The research assured the diaper product’s Product Elimination Decision should have the hierarchy of three primary standards: sale aspect, production aspect and exterior expect, followed by nine secondary standards and twenty factors. According to this hierarchy, the questionnaire, aiming at professionals, was created to do product field investigation. The Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach was later used to organize and analyze, and thus acquired the factors’ relative and absolute weight score of the diaper production’s Product Elimination Decision and helped to build the weight score system of the diaper product’s Product Elimination Decision. Through the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach, the product’s status adjustment was established, and three kinds of management suggestions were drew according to management meaning of weight score and performance score: Maintain the product’s present position; reexamine the product’s position; reduce resource decrease. When the product’s weight score and performance score were both high, the management meaning was to maintain the product’s present position. The former was concluded according to its excellent performance, but when the product’s weight score and performance score were both low, the management meaning would still be maintaining the product’s present position, for it suggested the manager that such product’s performance would not improve even when given more resource input. Therefore, the choice was whether to eliminate the product or rearrange the resource for other products’ use, other products considering reexamine the product’s position. In industry, Product Elimination Decision was most likely to make decision according to market respond or financial report; however, the product field investigation in this research showed that financial and non-financial factors were equally influential and important in the process of decision making. This research effectively combined professional opinions, objectively evaluated each factors’ weight score and performance score, collected the result of the evaluations, and elevated the correctness in the result of the evaluations. Finally, amended the subjective and unsure flaws in Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach.

However, advanced high strength steels are subject to forming defects such as crack, wrinkle and springback, which are more serious than mild steel. The advanced high-strength steel forming is difficult, and it takes a lot of money and time cost to test the mold. Therefore, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis technology is introduced, and it is hoped that CAE analysis can achieve more accurate mold design. Significantly reduce the cost of mold opening. The material model is also a very important part of its CAE analysis. The advanced high-strength steel has a significant Bauschinger effect, the work hardening rule considering the Bauschinger effect and the yield criterion of considering the biaxial force. Understand the plastic deformation behavior of materials, improve the forming characteristics analysis and springback prediction ability of advanced high-strength steel. This paper first discuss the commonly used yield criteria such as Hill48, Hill90, Barlat89, Barlat91 and Yld2000-2d, and explore the Yoshida-Uemori material model which can describe the material Bausching effect, and implement the establishment of the yield criterion and the work hardening rule. The required experiments include uniaxial tensile experiments, tensile-compression experiments, and plastic strain ratio experiments to establish the parameters of the Hill48 and Barlat91 yield criteria and the work hardening rule material model required for finite element analysis. With reference to the side sills of the automotive, this paper proposes a basic shape and two special-shaped U-hat shape to discuss the forming defects of the side sill parts. The main forming defects are wrinkle defects and springback defects, using variable holder force and drawbead. Variable holder force and drawbead can effectively improve wrinkle defects and springback defects. In order to improve the springback part of drawbead, a set of experimental molds is designed. The drawbead height can be adjusted by changing the gasket. The drawbead design has been used in the U-hat shape drawing die. The isotropic work hardening rule and the Yoshida-Uemori material model were simulated with Hill48 and Barlat91 yield criteria. The thickness and springback results of the experiment were compared. The results show that the Barlat91 yield criterion combined with the Yoshida-Uemori material model is the closest to the experimental results. And use the mechanism to design an adjustable drawbead to quickly adjust the height of the strip.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>機械工程學研究所<br>107<br>This thesis mainly studied the springback improvement methods of the aluminum alloy A6061, including using the drawbead in cold forming process and forming aluminum in warm temperature. These springback improvement methods are not the same diminishing springback mechanism. In terms of drawbead design, drawbead can achieve “post-stretch” effect and unify stress distribution on blank’s upper or lower surface. On the other hand, due to material strength reduced after heating the blank, the springback phenomenon improved. Before analyzation these two process, the material properties of the aluminum alloy A6061-O and A6061-T6 were studied first. The material properties include working-hardening ratio and plastic strain ratio etc…The influence of A6061 material properties in formability and springback had been analyzed, and the differience of formability and springback between aluminum and steel had been discussed. The material model of A6061 has been established, including non-isotropic yield function parameters (Hill48, Barlat91). On the other hand, Bauschinger effect of A6061 had been considered in this thesis, so the Yoshida- Uemori model of A6061-T6 was established. After established the material models, the springback analysis simulations including V-bending and U-hat drawing were conducted in this thesis. With simulations of different material models, the proper material model could be figured out by comparing with experiment data. About springback improvement methods, the drawbead design was studied to eliminate the springback of A6061-T6. The U-hat shape drawing die with drawbead design experiment was conducted to confirm influence of drawbead design on the springback phenomenon. The V-bending warm forming process of aluminum A6061-T6 was also conducted to discuss the springback improvement in three experimental temperatures. The results show that the springback degree decreases when the blank temperature increases, and the ratio of springback improvement increases when the fillet of punch increases.

Abstract:
碩士<br>世新大學<br>行政管理學系<br>92<br>The efforts exerted by the ROC government in recent years toward promoting e-government have laid a fundamental basis for integrated electronic public services. To achieve the vision of an e-government with capability to reinforce “effective government,” “project-based government,” “competitive government,” as well as “team government”, Taipei County Government has undertaken numerous initiatives and measures to transform herself. With modernized services and knowledge-based management in mind and in practice, new services including “certificate & document exemption,” “application form exemption,” “paperless application,” “multiple service points, multi-channel, around-the-clock service,” and “home-delivery” have been in place. Particularly, Taipei County Government started in March, 2000, an electronic operation connecting its land management agency and financial institutions –electronic process of mortgage elimination registration . Issues relevant to the costs and benefits of this e-government initiative need to be assessed, such as: How effective has it been (performance assessment)? How have related agencies responded to this program? Are there procedures or operations that have been counterproductive and faulty? If the answer is affirmative, what could have been the reasons? Are there feasible ways for improving the operations? So the current study aims to decipher and interpret some notable phenomena in government administration by conducting a period of intensive quantitative and qualitative research. First, literature dealing with e-government, e-gate, on-line collateralized mortgage eliminating and other closely-connected theories was reviewed. Then, the collected data was analyzed, followed by an empirical study employing questionnaires. Finally, the qualitative aspects were researched via in-depth interviews with relevant experts and stakeholders. It is expected that the suggestions proposed will contribute somehow to the academic field and be of some help to policy makers when choosing policy alternatives to address the problems we have encountered and raised in the research process.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立高雄應用科技大學<br>化學工程與材料工程系博碩士班<br>106<br>The compliant events increase with the increased emission of foreign flavor or odor from the small-scale restaurants, especially the odor emitted from the restaurant has affect not only environment but also people health. Therefore, to develop an effective deodorizing technology with the minimum costs is an important issue for air pollution control. At present, chemical oxidative scrubbing is commonly used to elimination the odor emitted from the restaurants. However, the principle of the chemical oxidative scrubber system is too complex to understand for the restaurant staff. In this study, we designed a simple continuously chmemical oxidative scrubbing process to elimination odor (70-75 mg/L) of methyl disulfide (DMDS) . The neutral protective-type chlorine dioxide (ClO2) was used as washing liquid. Then we investigated the effect of different gas-liquid ratio (G/L, unit lpm/lpm), initial concentration of ClO2 and initial pH of ClO2 on eliminating odor of DMDS by this process. The results indicate that the better operational conditions for removal DMDS by the system are the lower gas-liquid ratio 1.25 (G/L, unit lpm/lpm), the higher initial concentration of ClO2 (100 mg/L) and the initial pH of ClO2 = 7. The DMDS removal efficiency achieves about 96% and this system can keep removing odor for two hours. Finally, we used ion exchange chromatography (IC) to analyze the reaction mechanism of DMDS was oxidized by ClO2. The results show that the concentration of chloride ion in the washing liquid increase with scrubbing time increased. However, when ClO2 loses its oxidizing power, chloride ions concentration in scrub solution will decrease because ClO2 can’t decompose odor to produce chloride ions and chloride ions combine with the component of the scrub solution to form the chloride-containing organic substances. The experimental results show that the system in this study has a good performance on removing DMDS.

Abstract:
Semi-Solid Metal (SSM) forming has distinct advantages: strength, near net shape, thick and thin sections and a large scope of materials able to be cast. The aim of this project is to produce a near net shape component using SSM casting with A356 primary Semi Solid Aluminum feed stock from SAG. The selected Short Arm Component was identified as a suitable component for SSM forming, it is used as part of an insulated securing mechanism in overhead pylons, demands high strength and has relatively thick sections. A combination of full and short shot castings from the component and modular die were produced, on the real time shot controlled 62.5 ton high pressure die casting machine, at varying casting parameters of die temperature between 140-250°C, gate velocities of between 1.01-2.87ms_1 and a billet temperature of between 578-582°C. To understand fluid flow and locate possible defects, X-ray radiography and naked eye surface observations of the castings were used to locate possible defects and irregularities, which were cross sectioned and analysed using a Scanning Electron Microscope with an Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy module. It was apparent from the current project, as well as from literature, that increases in the die cross-sectional area reduce the shear surface area and increase the viscosity causing undesirable mould filling behaviour.<br>Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2006.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立高雄科技大學<br>化學工程與材料工程系<br>107<br>The increasing emission of pungent odor coming from small-scale restaurants, especially the odor emitted from fried stinky tofu, have increased the complaints of people living near the area. The stench does not only add up to environmental pollution, but serves as health hazard as well. So, developing a cost-effective technique on eliminating the foul odor is important in controlling air pollution, which is an important issue in the environment. At present, chemical oxidative scrubbing is commonly used in removing the odor emitted from a restaurant. Although it is relatively cheap, most restaurant staff are still having difficulty in understanding the complex mechanism and operating parameters involved in the chemical oxidative scrubbing system. In this study, an easily operated, multi-staged chemical oxidative scrubbing system is designed in order to eliminate odor emitted from the frying of stinky tofu. The addition of protective-type chlorine dioxide (p-ClO2) to the washing liquid, chlorine dioxide, is necessary so that its volatilization and self-decomposition can improve. Then, the effects of liquid-gas ratio (L/G ratio, lpm/CMM), initial concentration of p-ClO2 and treatment time on the elimination of odor, residual p-ClO2 concentration, pH value, and ORP value, were investigated. The results indicated that the system can remove odor up to 90% when the operational conditions are followed: initial concentration of ClO2 = 540 ppm, washing liquid volume = 120 L, and inlet waste gas flowrate = 15.6 CMM with an L/G ratio = 2.0 lpm/CMM. At 2 hours’ operation, the residual p-ClO2 concentration approaches 0 ppm and the ORP value is minimized, indicating that almost no p-ClO2 concentration in the washing solution is redox-capable. So, adding the same amount of p-ClO2 into the scrubbing solution again can remove odor for the next elimination cycle until the end of business hours. Therefore, the elimination of the odor emitted from the deep frying of stinky tofu via multi-staged addition process of chlorine dioxide is proven to be able to degrade odor and it can be monitored through the ORP value.

Abstract:
Plant-wide performance monitoring has generated a lot of interest in the control engineering community. The idea is to judge the performance of a plant as a whole rather than looking at performance of individual controllers. Data based methods are currently used to generate a variety of statistical performance indices to help us judge the performance of production units and control assets. However, so much information can often be overwhelming if it lacks precise information. Powerful computing and data storage capabilities have enabled industries to store huge amounts of data. Commercial performance monitoring softwares such as those available from many vendor companies such as Honeywell, Matrikon, ExperTune etc typically use this data to generate huge amounts of information. The problem of data overload has in this way turned into an information overload problem. This work focuses on developing methods that reconcile these various statistical measures of performance and generate useful diagnostic measures in order to optimize process performance of a unit/plant. These methods are also able to identify the relative importance of controllers in the way that they affect the performance of the unit/plant under consideration.<br>Process Control

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>化學研究所<br>100<br>Photodissociation dynamics of thioacetic acid at 248nm is studied by detecting photofragments with step-scan time-resolved Fourier-transform infrared emission spectroscopy. We can observe CO and OCS fundamental vibrational emission spectra in the mid-infrared range from 1850 cm-1 to 2200 cm-1. CH3SH, CH4, and H2S are also detected in the range of 2400 - 3300 cm-1; however, we proposed the signals are mainly contributed by CH3SH and CH4, due to the poor emission intensity of H2S. Information of internal energy distribution in photofragments can be obtained via spectral analysis of experimental data. Assignments of the CO spectra indicate that vibrational level is populated up to ν=3 and rotational level J up to J=35. In this study, the CO fragments are directly confirmed by high resolution rovibrational spectral observation. On the other hand, the CH2 product can only be indirectly confirmed by the reaction with O2 to form CO2. We found that the addition of Ar or O2 quenching gas enhance the collision-induced internal conversion process in the photodissociation of CH3COSH. In previous theoretical work, there are three predominant dissociation channels. The first pathway leads to the products of CO and CH3SH through a three-membered ring intermediate. The second pathway leads to OCS and CH4 products. The third pathway yields ketene and H2S, and ketene decomposes further into CO and CH2. The photodissociation study of thioacetic acid in gas phase allows us to gain further understanding of chalcogen substituted carboxylic acid.

Abstract:
This dissertation deals with the issue of continuous elimination methods in intensive care, and of subsequently creating teaching materials for incoming nurses. The goal was to create teaching materials for incoming nurses. These teaching materials should help incoming nurses work with a device intended for continuous elimination methods. The dissertation is divided into a theoretical and practical part. The empirical part was implemented in the form of a qualitative research, using semi-structured interviews with respondents at the Accident and Emergency Ward of Nemocnice České Budějovice a.s. at the RES 2 station. The first stage of research was implemented by conducting interviews with the respondents. These interviews were recorded in the form of detailed notes which were later transcribed in order to prevent losses of data and inaccuracies. Subsequently, categories were established and, proceeding from these categories, schemes created using the ATLAS programme. The second stage consisted of creating an instruction video and teaching materials for incoming nurses. As a part of the third stage of research, the created video and teaching materials were presented at the Accident and Emergency Ward for evaluation. Then, interviews with the original respondents were re-conducted. During these interviews, the respondents were tasked with evaluating whether the teaching materials fulfil their needs and whether they will be usable in practice. The learned information was then arranged in corresponding schemes. Two goals were set with regards to the practical part. The first goal was to determine which form of teaching materials is suitable for incoming nurses. The second goal was to establish the benefits and usability of the created materials in practice. Based on the goals, two research questions were formulated. The first research question was: Is the form of the teaching materials suitable for incoming nurses? The second research question was: What is the benefit of the created materials in practice? Based on the research, it was discovered that most of the respondents would welcome teaching materials in the form of printed leaflets; however, opinions on the option of creating a video were also heard. Therefore, an instruction video, suitably complementing the printed leaflet, was created. The third part of research implied that most of the eight interviewed respondents were satisfied with the teaching materials. Three respondents suggested supplementing the printed leaflet with additional images. All eight respondents agreed that in their opinion, the provided teaching materials would make it easier for incoming nurses to familiarize themselves with the issues discussed. The head nurse at the Accident and Emergency Ward views the created teaching materials as beneficial. She intends to continue using these materials at her ward.

Диссертация посвящена проблеме повышения конкурентоспособности компании путем использования новых управленческих технологий. Речь идет, в первую очередь, о внедрении в деятельность предприятия, работающего в сфере услуг, концепции бережливого производства. Данная концепция представляет собой набор конкретных методов и технологий, направленных на повышение конкурентоспособности предприятия за счет сокращения различного рода потерь как в системе производства, так и в системе потребления. Для повышения конкурентоспособности предлагается использовать неценовые методы конкуренции, а именно: повышение потребительской ценности в процессе обслуживания клиентов. Таким образом, завоевание конкурентного преимущества будет достигаться путем сервисной дифференциации. Для оптимизации деятельности предприятия были определены основные процессы, происходящие при обслуживании, и выбраны наиболее значимые с точки зрения конкурентных позиций, которые необходимо оптимизировать в первую очередь. Для каждого процесса был сформирован поток создания ценности, определены потери и их виды, а также разработаны мероприятия по снижению или исключению этих потерь.<br>The thesis is devoted to the problem of increasing the competitiveness of the company by using new management technologies. It is, first of all, the introduction of the concept of lean production in the activities of the enterprise operating in the service sector. This concept is a set of specific methods and technologies aimed at increasing the competitiveness of an enterprise by reducing various kinds of losses, both in the production system and in the consumption system. To increase competitiveness, it is proposed to use non-price methods of competition, namely, increase of consumer value in the process of customer service. Thus, the achievement of a competitive advantage will be achieved through service differentiation. To optimize the activities of the company, the main processes that took place during maintenance were identified, and the most significant ones were selected from the point of view of competitive positions, which should be optimized in the first place. For each process, a value stream was generated, losses and their types were identified, and measures were developed to reduce or eliminate these losses.

Three types of bevel gears such as straight tooth bevel gears, worm bevel gears, and zero degree bevel gears were tested, and process parameters such as injection temperature, mold temperature, injection pressure, packing pressure, mold holding time, and mold cooling temperature were used to generate the numerical simulation results of bevel gears by Moldflow software. In addition, same process parameters used above were used to generate the U_18*(〖18〗^6) tables based on uniform experimental method to generate the Kriging agent surfaces, and by applying interpolation and genetic algorithm to achieve the optimized set of process parameters in mold injection in order to minimize the distortion of bevel gears. The results showed that the optimized process parameters for the straight tooth bevel gear could be achieved with warpage of 0.2563 mm by applying with injection temperature at 180 ℃, molding temperature at 91 ℃, injection pressure at 120 Mpa, packing pressure at 87 Mpa, holding time for 3 sec, and cooling temperature at 25 ℃. Warpage of 0.2948 mm of the zero degree bevel gear could be achieved by applying parameters of temperature 180 ℃, mold temperature 95 ℃, pressure 122 Mpa, packing pressure 87 Mpa, holding time 3 s, cooling time 24 ℃. Warpage of 0.2520 mm of the worm bevel gear could be achieved by applying parameters of injection temperature at 180 ℃, mold temperature at 120 ℃, pressure at 136 Mpa, packing pressure at 100 Mpa, holding time for 3 sec, cooling time at 20 ℃. The improvement of the distortion is 1.01 % for straight tooth bevel gear, 1.40 % for zero degree bevel, and 15.44 % for worm bevel gear. In conclusion, we demonstrate that it is an effective approach to achieve the optimized process parameters of bevel gears in plastic injection manufacture by applying Kriging Surrogate modeling and genetic algorithm with numerical simulation software Moldflow before production.
