Implementing digitalization in the field of production represents a major hurdle for some small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the ensuing demands on employees and, in some cases, the significant financial investment required. The RobReLas research project has developed a system whose purpose is to enable an economical solution to this dilemma for SMEs in the field of automated, robot-based reconditioning of components. A laser scanner was integrated in the robot’s control. The data generated by the scanner are used to mathematically describe the virtual area of the surface to be laser-treated. The scanner recognizes the relevant area within the robot’s predefined work space by defining the maximum length and width of the relevant component. The system then automatically applies predefined and qualified repair strategies in the virtual area. Tests on nickel-based blades demonstrated the system’s economic potential, showing a reduction in reconditioning time of about 70% compared to the conventional reconditioning method. The main advantage of the system is the fact that a basic knowledge of operating robots is sufficient for the attainment of repeatable results. Further, no additional CAD/CAM workstations are required for implementation.

Inhalt: Das Kaltfließpressen von Verzahnungen bietet das Potential, einsatzfertige Zahnräder in einem serientauglichen Prozess herzustellen. In der Materialpaarung mit einem Kunststoffzahnrad wirken sich die Bauteileigenschaften des Stahlzahnrades maßgeblich auf das Verschleißverhalten und die Lebensdauer der Paarung aus. Hieraus ergeben sich Anforderungen an die Bauteileigenschaften, die bei der Auslegung des Fließpressprozesses zu berücksichtigen sind. Im Rahmen des vorliegenden Beitrags wird die Verbesserung des Einlaufverhaltens einer Stahl-Polyamid-Zahnradpaarung durch gezielte Einstellung der Bauteileigenschaften des fließgepressten Stahlritzels untersucht.

Relevant Component

This study examines earnings management through deferred taxes calculated under the IAS 12 and its impact on firm valuation. The literature finds that book–tax nonconformity leads to better earning quality and a greater association between earnings and future expected cash flows. Given that Pakistan is a pioneering implementer of the International Financial Reporting Standards, our hypothesis is that the components of deferred tax disclosed under the IAS 12 provide value-relevant information to equity investors. We divide deferred tax components into three categories: those arising from (i) operational activities, (ii) investing activities, and (iii) financing activities. These are subdivided to ensure that no value-relevant component is aggregated with a nonvalue-relevant component, which might otherwise lead to an information slack. Our sample includes data on shariah-compliant companies listed on the Karachi Meezan Index (KMI-30). We find that deferred tax line items in firms’ balance sheets are reflected in market prices. Investors also tend to treat deferred tax line items (arising from operating, financing, and investing activities) differently. Furthermore, the value relevance is dissimilar for different components of deferred tax. Investors are wary of deferred tax assets and liabilities when pricing and are likely to penalize firms with a higher deferred tax position.

For the first time in history, automated vehicles (AVs) are being deployed in populated environments. This unprecedented transformation of our everyday lives demands a significant undertaking: endowing complex autonomous systems with ethically acceptable behavior. We outline how one prominent, ethically-relevant component of AVs—driving behavior—is inextricably linked to stakeholders in the technical, regulatory, and social spheres of the field. Whereas humans are presumed (rightly or wrongly) to have the ‘common sense’ to behave ethically in new driving situations beyond a standard driving test, AVs do not (and probably should not) enjoy this presumption. We examine, at a high level, how to test the common sense of an AV. We start by reviewing discussions of ‘driverless dilemmas’, adaptions of the traditional ‘trolley dilemmas’ of philosophy that have sparked discussion on AV ethics but have limited use to the technical and legal spheres. Then, we explain how to substantially change the premises and features of these dilemmas (while preserving their behavioral diagnostic spirit) in order to lay the foundations for a more practical and relevant framework that tests driving common sense as an integral part of road rules testing.

Filter feeding invertebrates are a relevant component of fouling assemblages with a pivotal role in ecological processes, since they improve water quality, enhance habitat heterogeneity and transfer organic matter from the water column to the benthos. They modulate the availability of resources to other species, with effects on the density and behavior of the surrounding macrofauna. The fanworm Sabella spallanzanii, one of the largest and most abundant Mediterranean filter feeders, provides a shelter for predation and a secondary substrate for algae and settlement for sessile invertebrates. We tested its role in driving the structure of fouling assemblages, through a removal experiment.The experiment was one-year-long, with four sampling times. The effect of the removal on the fouling community was marginal in terms of species richness and evenness, while the biomass showed important differences, with a constant increase over time with higher values in the samples containing S. spallanzanii. At the end of observations, the biomass reached the value of 3917 g DW m-2 in controls and 2073 g DW m-2 in treatments. The empty space left by fanworms was not used by other species with similar biomasses. It is possible that the functioning of fouling communities may, in the event of loss of species, fluctuate in terms of biomass mobilization to different compartments, either towards the pelagic compartment or to the detritus chain. In systems with reduced water turnover, this by-pass can have important consequences in terms of stability and ecological balance.

Abstract The “Establishing AMR Structural Integrity Codes and Standards for UK GDA” (EASICS) project was established in 2019 to help support the acceptance of Advanced Modular Reactors, or AMRs, which are typically based on high temperature Generation IV reactors. The EASICS project is aiming to provide guidance on the requirements for codes and standards for the design of AMRs for use in the UK, to ensure that state-of-the art knowledge will be brought to bear on developing the required design and assessment methodologies. The EASICS project started in July 2019 and is looking to complete by December 2021. To support this aim, the work presented in this paper provides an overview of two interacting aspects of the programme. The first is to perform validation tests for high temperature creep-fatigue assessments of a plant relevant component. The second aspect is to use these results, to provide a comparison of internationally recognised approaches for the assessment of high temperature (creep regime) components. This approach will be repeated for two other case scenarios deemed to be plant relevant components. This paper builds upon the initial overview paper presented at the 2020 conference providing an update on progress. One of the cases presented herein, described as the Thin Walled Welded Pipe Test uses specialist testing of a plant relevant component under high temperature loading conditions is underway with some initial results available. The validation testing includes both fatigue tests and creep-fatigue tests on 316H welded thin section tubes. The tubes have been subjected to strain-controlled tension/compression (R-ratio of −1), with some including a displacement controlled dwell. The tests are being conducted at 525°C. An update to the progress of these tests is included herein. To help enhance interaction with the code bodies, and to understand the impact of differences in the approaches, comparative assessments have been performed when adopting R5, ASME Section III Div 5 and RCC-MRx. One comparison will be based around the tests detailed above (tube test). A further assessment comparison will consider the Evasion mock-up tests provided by CEA (sodium based thermal shock tests). The third assessment case is loosely based around a plant relevant assessment within one of the UK Advanced Gas Reactors (AGRs). This paper provides an overview of the results from all these cases using R5, ASME Section III Div 5 and RCC-MRx. The subsequent discussions covers results, differences and potential impact to the codes which will all help to inform a guidance document to support assessing AMRs within a UK regulatory framework.

AbstractHuman language defines the most complex outcomes of evolution. The emergence of such an elaborated form of communication allowed humans to create extremely structured societies and manage symbols at different levels including, among others, semantics. All linguistic levels have to deal with an astronomic combinatorial potential that stems from the recursive nature of languages. This recursiveness is indeed a key defining trait. However, not all words are equally combined nor frequent. In breaking the symmetry between less and more often used and between less and more meaning-bearing units, universal scaling laws arise. Such laws, common to all human languages, appear on different stages from word inventories to networks of interacting words. Among these seemingly universal traits exhibited by language networks, ambiguity appears to be a specially relevant component. Ambiguity is avoided in most computational approaches to language processing, and yet it seems to be a crucial element of language architecture. Here we review the evidence both from language network architecture and from theoretical reasonings based on a least effort argument. Ambiguity is shown to play an essential role in providing a source of language efficiency, and is likely to be an inevitable byproduct of network growth.

In many settings, systems are composed of a group of independent sub-units. Each sub-unit produces the same set of outputs by consuming the same set of inputs. Conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) views such a system as a "black-box", and uses the sum of the respective inputs and outputs of all relevant component units to calculate the system efficiency. Various DEA-based models have been developed for decomposing the overall efficiency. This paper further investigates this kind of structure by using the cooperative (or centralized) and non-cooperative (Stackelberg or leader–follower) game theory concepts. We show that the existing DEA approaches can be viewed as a centralized model that optimizes the efficiency scores of all sub-units jointly. The proposed leader–follower model will be useful when the priority sequence is available for sub-units. Consider, for example, the evaluation of relative efficiencies of a set of manufacturing facilities where multiple work shifts are operating. Management may wish to determine not only the overall plant efficiency, but as well, the performance of each shift in some priority sequence. The relationship between the system efficiency and component efficiencies is also explored. Our approaches are demonstrated with an example whose data set involves the national forests of Taiwan.
