How Internet of Things can influence the sustainability performance of logistics industries – A Chinese case study

The introduction of new information technologies has started reshaping global industrial sectors and supply chains. Due to the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) real-time management strategies have been adopted by the global logistics industry, turning the branch into an intelligent service supplier. This paper assesses the influence...

p−i−n Perovskite Solar Cells on Steel Substrates

An efficient substrate-configuration p-i-n metal-halide perovskite solar cell (PSC) is fabricated on a polymer-coated steel substrate. The optimized cell employs a Ti bottom electrode coated with a thin indium tin oxide (ITO) interlayer covered with a self-assembled [2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethyl]phosphonic acid monolayer as a hole-selective contact...

Analysis of aeroacoustic phenomena in centrifugal compressors using a Lattice Boltzmann flow simulation approach

Impeller rotation, vortex shedding, secondary flows or a combination of these phenomena can lead to the generation of acoustic waves in the compressor cascade causing dynamic pressure loading on the impeller. When the eigenfrequency and eigenmode shape of the acoustic mode match with the structural ones of the impeller, high fatigue stresses and...

Tight integration of Web APIs with Semantic Web

This short paper describes an initial work to facilitate a better fusion of Web APIs and Linked Data. It explores how the Semantic Web (SW) community can benefit from data available through Web APIs. We believe a tight integration of Web APIs with SW technologies like SPARQL, OWL and reasoning has several advantages over loose integration. We...

Waardecreatie in triple helix: Recepten voor triple helix samenwerking

Om innovaties in het veiligheidsdomein te realiseren worden triple helix samenwerkingen gezien als een belangrijke motor. Een triple helix samenwerking is een tijdelijk samenwerkingsverband tussen drie of meer organisaties die middelen, risico’s en opbrengsten delen om individuele organisatiedoelen, gezamenlijke samenwerkingsdoelen en...

Semantics for big data applications in the smart dairy farming domain

In the Dutch SmartDairyFarming project, better decision support for the dairy farmer on daily questions around feeding, insemination, calving and milk production processes is made possible using a variety of big data sources containing static and dynamic sensor data of individual cows. This paper is concerned with the inherent semantic...

Ontology Matching for Big Data Applications in the Smart Dairy Farming Domain.

This paper addresses the use of ontologies for combining different sensor data sources to enable big data analysis in the dairy farming domain. We have made existing data sources accessible via linked data RDF mechanisms using OWL ontologies on Virtuoso and D2RQ triple stores. In addition, we have created a common ontology for the domain and...

Structural characterization of bioengineered α-D-glucans produced by mutant glucansucrase GTF180 enzymes of lactobacillus reuteri strain 180

Mutagenesis of specific amino acid residues of the glucansucrase (GTF180) enzyme from Lactobacillus reuteri strain 180 yielded 12 mutant enzymes that produced modified exopolysaccharides (mEPSs) from sucrose. Ethanol-precipitated and purified mEPSs were subjected to linkage analysis, Smith degradation analysis, and 1D/2D ¹H NMR...

Effectiveness of the triple P positive parenting program on parenting: A meta-analysis

Triple P is a parenting program intended to prevent and to provide treatment for severe behavioral, emotional, and developmental problems in children. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the effectiveness of Triple P Level 4 interventions on parenting styles and parental competency. Level 4 is an intensive training program of 8 - 10...

The impact of single and multi play on service platforms

We see a shift in the way broadband services are being provided. Next to the traditional ‘single service provisioning’, existing service providers are now also starting to bundle services into triple- or multi-play service packages. As the availability and uptake of broadband access connections is increasing, we see also an increasing diversity...

Lifetime prediction of EC, DPA, akardite II and MNA stabilized triple base propellants, comparison of heat generation rate and stabilizer consumption

A lifetime prediction study is carried out on four triple base propellant compositions by artificial ageing. The ageing effects are studied with High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Heat Flow Calorimetry (HFC) in order to find the most effective stabilizer and to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of both methods. It is...

Requirements of triple play services towards broadband access networks

In the current broadband market there are many new developments regarding both services and the broadband infrastructures carrying those services. This paper will address what the requirements of services are towards broadband networks. The focus will be on the requirements of triple play related services (telephony, broadcast TV/on demand video...

Major surgery within the first 3 months of life and subsequent biobehavioral pain responses to immunization at later age: A case comparison study

Objectives. Pain exposure during early infancy affects the pain perception beyond infancy into childhood. The objective of this study was to examine whether major surgery within the first 3 months of life in combination with preemptive analgesia alters pain responses to immunization at 14 or 45 months and to assess whether these alterations are...

Pyridinium cross-links in bone of patients with osteogenesis imperfecta: Evidence of a normal intrafibrillar collagen packing

The brittleness of bone in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) has been attributed to an aberrant collagen network. However, the role of collagen in the loss of tissue integrity has not been well established. To gain an insight into the biochemistry and structure of the collagen network, the cross-links hydroxylysylpyridinoline (HP) and...

CAD of Triple-Mode Cavities in Rectangular Waveguide

In this paper we describe a very simple cavity structure which can be used as the basic building block for the computer-aided design (CAD) of triple-mode filters in rectangular waveguide. The input output ports are standard rectangular waveguides with a common longitudinal axis. The proposed configuration is geometrically simple and exhibits the...
