This paper focuses on the problem of distributed resources network organization under condition of sector coopetition. The aim of this paper is to show that sector coopetition can be seen as a special case of industrial network. Value creation in the network requires the coordination of distributed resources by structuring. It is proposed that the structure of network manufacturing system is an adequate form of order distributed resources network.

Cloud manufacturing (CMfg) mode provides an effective means to intensely utilize distributed resources and manufacturing capability for personalized production. Increasing personalized customization implies more and more heterogeneous tasks and hence more sorts of requirements for services. As the granularity of tasks vary with changing users and products, the solution (or scheme) of task scheduling should be different. In order to efficiently provide the most suitable solution for each kind of tasks, different scheduling ways should be adopted under different circumstances. In this paper, we study scheduling issues for heterogeneous tasks with variable granularity and present two kinds of optimal scheduling mode based on user-oriented comprehensive evaluation. Then different encoding schemes relied on the genetic algorithm are proposed according to different scheduling strategies.

This paper focuses on the problem of resources allocation in the process of shaping distributed structure of network manufacturing system. The aim of this paper is to show the proposal of the negotiation protocols, which are applicable in the process of organization network manufacturing system under condition of distributed resources. Negotiations protocols enable to negotiate the resources allocation according to the predefined assumptions.

AbstractAs a general theory of extreme self-sacrifice, Whitehouse's article misses one relevant dimension: people's willingness to fight and die in support of entities not bound by biological markers or ancestral kinship (allyship). We discuss research on moral expansiveness, which highlights individuals’ capacity to self-sacrifice for targets that lie outside traditional in-group markers, including racial out-groups, animals, and the natural environment.

A mixture of polycarbonate (PC) and styrene-acrylonitrile-copolymer (SAN) represents a very good example for the efficiency of electron microscopic investigations concerning the determination of optimum production procedures for high grade product properties.The following parameters have been varied:components of charge (PC : SAN 50 : 50, 60 : 40, 70 : 30), kind of compounding machine (single screw extruder, twin screw extruder, discontinuous kneader), mass-temperature (lowest and highest possible temperature).The transmission electron microscopic investigations (TEM) were carried out on ultra thin sections, the PC-phase of which was selectively etched by triethylamine.The phase transition (matrix to disperse phase) does not occur - as might be expected - at a PC to SAN ratio of 50 : 50, but at a ratio of 65 : 35. Our results show that the matrix is preferably formed by the components with the lower melting viscosity (in this special case SAN), even at concentrations of less than 50 %.

Abstract. Test validation based on usual statistical analyses is paradoxical, as, from a falsificationist perspective, they do not test that test data are ordinal measurements, and, from the ethical perspective, they do not justify the use of test scores. This paper (i) proposes some basic definitions, where measurement is a special case of scientific explanation; starting from the examples of memory accuracy and suicidality as scored by two widely used clinical tests/questionnaires. Moreover, it shows (ii) how to elicit the logic of the observable test events underlying the test scores, and (iii) how the measurability of the target theoretical quantities – memory accuracy and suicidality – can and should be tested at the respondent scale as opposed to the scale of aggregates of respondents. (iv) Criterion-related validity is revisited to stress that invoking the explanative power of test data should draw attention on counterexamples instead of statistical summarization. (v) Finally, it is argued that the justification of the use of test scores in specific settings should be part of the test validation task, because, as tests specialists, psychologists are responsible for proposing their tests for social uses.
