AbstractTechnology innovation is inherently uncertain. The risk–benefit divide for such innovation is a classical debate within scholarly literature and is often framed on a monetary scale where innovation approval is granted if benefit outweighs risk. However, such discussion leaves out a critical yet subjective vein of discussion within the innovation evaluation process — stakeholder context. Specifically, regulators and technology developers are often described as having respective motivations that are often at odds with one another. In theory, efforts towards balancing risk and benefit for technology evaluation should be driven by relatively efficient, inexpensive, robust methods, and processes. In practice, however, technology evaluation is often expensive, slow, and often of questionable quality for new and emerging technologies. Literature often frames the innovation-regulation tradeoff as a zero-sum game driven by regulators and developers that are inherently at odds with one another. However, we argue that such a relationship is actually worse than zero-sum and is a classic framing problem as described by Kahneman and Tversky. Specifically, the divergent frames adopted by regulators and technology developers, respectively, can drastically affect their perception of risk and tolerance for further development and commercialization of a given technology. There are known and natural solutions to such problems that can smooth the path towards realizing the societal potential of emerging technologies.

Protein crystallography beamlines at the two major Japanese synchrotron facilities (SPring-8 and Photon Factory) employ different crystal-exchange robots. The robots SPACE and PAM, installed at SPring-8 and the Photon Factory, respectively, accelerate crystal exchange and assist in the efficient use of beamtime. SPACE also supports customizable automatic data collection, in which an X-ray beam is irradiated at a manually determined position during the crystal evaluation process. However, this data collection requires special crystal-mounting screw pins made of polyacetal, which are not compatible with PAM. In order to give users the flexibility to collect diffraction data sets at either of the two synchrotrons, we have developed a compatible cassette system. Pins stored in the cassette can be mounted or demounted using either SPACE or PAM, and are compatible with the customizable automatic data collection provided by SPACE. Users can handle the pins and cassettes easily, employing common tools and techniques for efficient protein cryocrystallography experiments.

AbstractTo solve the problem of ergonomic evaluation of suit production system, a hybrid method of IAHP and gray entropy theory is proposed. Firstly, literature reviews for ergonomics evaluation tools and techniques are introduced. Furthermore, ergonomic evaluation index system of suit operation is established according to production practice. Besides, a comprehensive evaluation models process of gray entropy and IAHP is introduced. Finally, a detailed evaluation process of suit sewing, ironing and clipping operation is introduced by an example, and the results show that the evaluation method of the paper is helpful to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the operation system improvement demonstration.

In the modern education system, many higher education institutions prefer data mining tools and techniques to analyze the academic improvement of their students. To support that many data mining techniques and tools are available. This paper uses the classification concept to analyze the student’s academic performance. This paper presents the comparison result of five classification algorithms – Decision Tree, Naïve Bayesian, K-Nearest Neighbour, Support Vector Machine and Random Forest which is applied to the data collected from three colleges of Assam, India. The data consists of socio-economic, demographic as well as academic information of three hundred students with twenty-four attributes. The data mining tool used was ORANGE. The internal assessment attribute in the continuous evaluation process makes the highest impact in the final semester results of the students in the dataset. The results showed that Random Forest out performs the other classifiers based on accuracy.
