A novel methodology to characterize tool-chip contact in metal cutting using partially restricted contact length tools
(2021)A novel methodology to map the friction and normal stress distribution on the rake face using Partially Restricted Contact Length Tools in orthogonal cutting tests is proposed. The influence of cutting speed, feed and ... -
Employee Satisfaction in Labor-Owned and Managed Workplaces: Helping Climate and Participation Spillover to Non-Owners
(MDPI, 2021)In contrast to shareholder-owned organizations, worker-owned cooperative organizations foster employee wellbeing such as employee satisfaction as an important outcome by itself. Due to expansions and economic fluctuations, ... -
Fuzzing the Internet of Things: A Review on the Techniques and Challenges for Efficient Vulnerability Discovery in Embedded Systems
(IEEE, 2021)With a growing number of embedded devices that create, transform and send data autonomously at its core, the Internet-of-Things (IoT) is a reality in different sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare or transportation. ... -
Team emotional intelligence: Emotional processes as a link between managers and workers
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)Research has shown that transformational leaders are able, through emotional contagion mechanisms, to transmit their emotions and boost positive feelings among their followers. Although research on leadership and team ... -
Team Emotional Intelligence in Working Contexts: Development and Validation of the Team-Trait Meta Mood Scale (T-TMMS)
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020)The collective construct of Team Emotional Intelligence (TEI) has been widely used and discussed. However, although several studies have examined the relationship between individual emotional intelligence and transformational ... -
Reactive control of wave energy devices – the modelling paradox
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)The implementation of energy maximising control systems (EMCSs) in wave energy converter (WEC) devices is an important step towards commercially viable operation of WECs. During the design stage of such EMCSs, linear ... -
Measurement of plastic strain and plastic strain rate during orthogonal cutting for Ti-6Al-4V
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)Finite Element Modelling used to predict machining outcomes needs to be supplied with the appropriate material thermomechanical properties which are obtained by specific testing devices and methodologies. However, these ... -
Uncut chip geometry determination for cutting forces prediction in orthogonal turn-milling operations considering the tool profile and eccentricity
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)The cutting forces generated in machining are responsible for the tool deflection, part distortion, and features as chatter; therefore, their accurate estimation is fundamental to defining stable and safe working conditions ... -
Healthcare costs of breast, prostate, colorectal and lung cancer care by clinical stage and cost component = Costes de la atención de los cánceres de mama, próstata, colorrectal y pulmón por estadio clínico y componente de coste
(Elsevier España, S.L.U., 2021)Objective: To measure 3-year care costs of breast, prostate, colorectal and lung cancers disaggregated bysite and clinical stage.Method: A retrospective observational design was employed to investigate care costs of cases ... -
Theory of constraints case study in the make to order environment
(Omnia Science, 2021)Purpose: The theory of constraints (TOC) drum-buffer-rope methodology is appropriate when managing a production plant in complex environments, such as make-to-order (MTO) scenarios. However, some difficulties have been ... -
Steady-state Measurements of Ternary Mixtures in Thermogravitational Microcolumn Using Optical Digital Interferometry
(Springer Nature B.V., 2021)Steady-state measurements in a thermogravitational microcolumn using optical digital interferometry are presented here for the first time in the literature in the case of ternary mixtures. These measurements enabled the ... -
Investigation of diffusive and optical properties of vapour-air mixtures: The benefits of interferometry
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)While interferometry has been widely used for diffusion measurements in liquid mixtures, it was hardly applied so far to vapour-gas mixtures. The present work aims to bridge this gap. Using an improved Mach–Zehnder ... -
A Generalization Performance Study Using Deep Learning Networks in Embedded Systems
(MDPI, 2021)Deep learning techniques are being increasingly used in the scientific community as a consequence of the high computational capacity of current systems and the increase in the amount of data available as a result of the ... -
Ball-on-flat linear reciprocating tests: Critical assessment of wear volume determination methods and suggested improvements for ASTM D7755 standard
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)This work presents a critical assessment of wear volume determination methods for ball-on-flat linear reciprocating sliding tribological tests. It revealed that the ASTM D7755-11 standard leads to the highest relative ... -
Assessment and Selection of Technologies for the Sustainable Development of an R&D Center
(MDPI, 2020)The central role of R&D centers in the advancement of technology within industrial enterprises is undeniable and clearly a ects their strategies, their competitiveness and their business sustainability. R&D centers assume ... -
Industrial Design of Electric Machines Supported with Knowledge-Based Engineering Systems
(MDPI, 2021)The demand for electric machines has increased in the last decade, mainly due to applications that try to make a full transition from fuel to electricity. These applications encounter the need for tailor-made electric ... -
A Multi Camera and Multi Laser Calibration Method for 3D Reconstruction of Revolution Parts
(MDPI, 2021)This paper describes a method for calibrating multi camera and multi laser 3D triangulation systems, particularly for those using Scheimpflug adapters. Under this configuration, the focus plane of the camera is located at ... -
FlexRQC: Model for a Flexible Robot-Driven Quality Control Station
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)As the investment on a dedicated quality control stations is not desirable for limited production batches. In general, those systems result in very optimised systems and the lack of flexibility since they are designed for ... -
Evaluating Disruptive Innovation Project Management Capabilities
(MDPI, 2021)Firms must adapt to a business environment in constant flux. Economic and political factors and the constant interruption of new technologies force firms and organizations to change and to adapt, so that they are not left ... -
