Abstract

Abstract: Industrial symbiosis activities are being implemented in the philosophy of “circular economy” in China. Integrating industrial symbiosis into the corporate development plans to optimize materials and energy flows is a feasible strategy for many corporations in their transition between nonsustainable and sustainable development. By constructing industrial ecosystems, Nanning Sugar Co., Ltd. in China, has achieved the successful transition from a traditional corporation to a sustainable corporation, or rather, a circular corporation. This study expounds on its whole transition course to a circular complex in the past decade, in which four factors are essential to making this symbiosis achievable: rational production structures; raw materials advantages; technical supports and correct diversification. The corporation is in charge of almost all the aspects of its affiliated companies and the management mode, in particular, differing from that of industrial symbiosis systems in Kalundborg, is considered another potential factor contributing to the corporate success. The transition mode in question is hoped to point to a feasible development path for similar corporations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

The article discusses the possible removal of paper to lighten the load from business operations in Great Britain as of 2016. Topics covered include automated routing and scheduling with real-time visibility into fleet activities, the advantages of paperless proof of delivery (POD), leveraging the Driver and Vehicles Standards Agency (DVSA) for driver evaluation. Also noted is the ability of a paperless supply chain to identify errors and problems during delivery for early remediation.

Abstract

Date of Conference: 10-13 Nov. 2008 Conference name: 2008 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design Leveraging the power of scratchpad memories (SPMs) available in most embedded systems today is crucial to extract maximum performance from application programs. While regular accesses like scalar values and array expressions with affine subscript functions have been tractable for compiler analysis (to be prefetched into SPM), irregular accesses like pointer accesses and indexed array accesses have not been easily amenable for compiler analysis. This paper presents an SPM management technique using Markov chain based data access prediction for such irregular accesses. Our approach takes advantage of inherent, but hidden reuse in data accesses made by irregular references. We have implemented our proposed approach using an optimizing compiler. In this paper, we also present a thorough comparison of our different dynamic prediction schemes with other SPM management schemes. SPM management using our approaches produces 12.7% to 28.5% improvements in performance across a range of applications with both regular and irregular access patterns, with an average improvement of 20.8%.

Abstract

The article offers tips on selecting a scanner. The author emphasizes the need to determine whether the organization needs centralized or de-centralized scanning. He explains that the former involves a larger scanner or network, while the latter involves multiple desktop or departmental scanners. Before acquiring a scanner, the author suggests reviewing the types of documents that will be scanned. This includes determining the paper size, type of paper and the characteristics of the documents.
