Abstract:
Vertebrate kinetochores contain over 50 different proteins organized into three distinct regions: the inner plate, outer plate, and fibrous corona. The present study characterizes numerous precursors of kinetochore assembly in a system free of centromeric chromatin, Xenopus extracts. Hydrodynamic analysis suggests there are a minimum of two monomeric proteins and six preassembled complexes that accumulate on centromeres to form the kinetochore. The inner and outer kinetochore assemble from at least two distinct kinetochore complexes containing the proteins Mis12, Zwint, and Ndc80, all of which interact by immunoprecipitation. There is also a network of interactions between the fibrous corona proteins that is dissociated by microtubules. We quantify the number of molecules of specific proteins assembled into a single kinetochore. There are between 800 and 1200 molecules of the measured inner and outer kinetochore proteins, demonstrating that the components in these regions are in similar stoichiometry. In contrast, the measured fibrous corona proteins are present at 250-300 molecules per kinetochore. Zwint, but not Mis12, requires the Ndc80 complex for assembly into the kinetochore. Further, Ndc80 requires Zwint for assembly, indicating a codependency for these two proteins. Our data provide a model for the structural architecture and assembly pathway of the vertebrate kinetochore.

Abstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to focus on the assembly quality of copier products, specifically, concentrating on the prediction of the operator‐induced assembly defect.Design/methodology/approachBased on the Shibata model, the design‐based assembly complexity is redesigned. And the Sony Standard Time is replaced by the Fuji Xerox Standard Time in the calculation of the process‐based assembly complexity. Furthermore, different correlation functions are attempted and comparatively studied in the regression analysis. Thereby, a new defect rate prediction model is proposed and validated with three copier assembly cases.FindingsThe new proposed model is much more accurate and stable in the human‐induced assembly defect prediction in copier production.Practical implicationsThe proposed model can be used to ensure the assembly quality by removing potential defects at the structure and process design stages. Meanwhile, with this model, the interactions between the engineers and designers can be more effective.Originality/valueThis paper presents a novel assembly defect rate prediction model for copier assembly quality management.

Abstract:
Raytheon Missile Systems has a need for an angular rate measurement system to be implemented within the allocated space at the front of an existing weapon system known as Paveway™. Ultimately, the armament needs to be more accurate and thus the need for this measurement system, which measures the angular rate of change between two bodies rotating about each other on a two axis gimbal assembly, was born. The system must be environmentally sealed, operate on a fixed voltage supplied by the weapon, have low friction, provide low error measurements, and most importantly be low cost. The end design involved the usage of two COTS (commercial off the shelf) gyroscopes that would not only be able to measure the angular rate of change of both pitch and yaw, but be able to easily satisfy all of the other requirements posed by the sponsor as well. The final technical report discusses the high level design process, hardware and software implementation, as well as testing results and project conclusion. Additionally, the project’s mitigation plan, which was a large part of the project, will also be discussed further in Appendix C.

Full text
Abstract:
We illustrate self-assembly with several systems which aim to harness the process of assembly to create new functional structures. The concept of kinetic trapping preventing assembly and the importance of reversibility, breaking as well as making bonds, for avoiding such traps are introduced. We aim to identify how reversible systems are, with the aim of aecting the prediction, control and design of new systems. In four systems a lattice gas model, and three models based upon patchy particle schemes, a yield is dened and used to identify optimal assembly at a given time. Three measurements relevant to reversibility are described, applied, and compared with the results of similar studies. The rst simply counts the bonding and un-bonding events, or kinks, over the whole assembly process and compares the total number of events with the net bonding events. We measure values of 100 􀀀 1000kinks per bond in crystal systems, and 60 􀀀 200 for closed structures. In analogy with a toy model the values can be related to a `forgivingness', a ratio of bad bonding sites, to good ones. We then turn to measurements at early times which allow for the prediction of when assembly will occur. These include rate measurements of kinks which provide an instant measure of reversibility and comparison of correlation and response functions with the equilibrium uctuation dissipation theory. These methods examine the dynamics of the assembly process while our third approach examines the structures during assembly. We examine how each of the measurements provide information about the assembly process and how it relates to the particles, their interactions and the nal structure. The possibility of using the methods in combination is shown to be relevant to the prediction of assembly and how they might be used to implement design and control schemes to improve assembly.

Kersten, Joshua Todd. "Measuring manufacturing assembly worker task duration with radio frequency identification technology." Thesis, University of Iowa, 2017. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/5534.

Full text
Abstract:
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common among working populations, especially manufacturing workers, with exposure to non-neutral postures frequently cited as a risk factor. However, the magnitudes and precision of risk estimates vary between field-based studies, as it is difficult to continually follow and sample large study samples with time-varying exposures to non-neutral postures. Development of a low cost location-tracking system may help overcome this methodological limitation. The purpose of this thesis was to explore the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for extracting task-specific exposure data from full-shift measurements of upper arm posture as machine-paced assembly workers rotated job tasks. Full-shift upper arm posture and movement velocities were recorded using inertial measurement units (IMUs) across up to 15 consecutive working days from among a sample of 8 participants. Workers scanned RFID tags with RFID readers at job task workstation as they started and finished performing a task, effectively measuring task duration. At the end of each shift, workers self-reported task duration estimates in a diary. Self-report and RFID-based measurement bias and agreement range were estimated using Bland-Altman analyses. Fully nested, random-effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) models were used to estimate the relative contribution of components of exposure variance to overall posture and movement exposure variance. The study observed a slight measurement bias for self-reported task duration estimates when comparing both incomplete (i.e., single measurement from either self-report or RFID methodology) and complete task observation data (i.e., measurements from both methodologies), while the RFID system displayed a similar bias when comparing only complete task observation data. However, regardless of the data set, a large measurement agreement range was observed. The between-subjects and between-tasks-within-day (and within-subject) variance components generally contributed the most to total exposure variance, with the between-day-within-subject component contributing little if nothing at all. Depending on velocity level summary measure, between 65.7% and 84.5% of the total exposure variance was associated with the between-tasks-within-day (and within-subject) component. The RFID system did prove useful in extracting task-specific exposure data from full-day IMU measurements. However, there were unexpected instances in which workers failed to follow RFID system user protocol and generate irregular timestamp sequences. Future research and development is encouraged to refine the pairing of RFID technology with IMUs for ergonomic exposure assessment. Specifically, an active RFID system with adjustable read range could potentially overcome the limitation of requiring that a worker place the RFID tag within inches of the low frequency RFID reader to perform a scan.

Abstract:
Miniaturized resonators are the critical components of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) used for sensing, communications, imaging, and energy harvesting. For many of these applications, the important design parameters are the frequency of vibrations and the damping coefficient. Many mechanisms of dissipation –thermoelastic damping, internal friction, clamping losses, support losses and viscous damping –combine to determine the value of the damping coefficient of these micromechanical resonators. Accurate measurement of these various sources of dissipation is necessary for developing models of dissipation, and to devise guidelines for design. This thesis describes the design, assembly and validation of a system for measuring structural damping in micromechanical resonators as a function of temperature and frequency. The system employs electrostatic actuation to set the resonators into motion and optical detection to monitor that motion. It is also capable of measuring damping over a wide range of frequencies (100 Hz to 1 MHz) and temperatures (25 to 300 °C). This new system for measuring damping can enable experiments to measure the effects of various design and operating parameters on dissipation in miniaturized resonators.
Les résonateurs miniaturisés sont des éléments importants dans les systèmes micro-électro-mécaniques. Ils sont utilisés pour des systèmes de communication, des capteurs, de l'imagerie et de la récolte d'énergie. Plusieurs applications se basent sur deux paramètres très importants, notamment la fréquence des vibrations et le coefficient d'amortissement. Un grand nombre de mécanismes de dissipation – l'amortissement thermo élastique, le frottement interne, les pertes d'énergie qui viennent de la pince et du support, et l'amortissement visqueux – contribuent à la valeur du coefficient d'amortissement. Des mesures précisent de ces mécanismes sont nécessaires pour développer des modèles de dissipation et des guides de conceptions.Cette thèse décrit la conception, l'assemblage, et la validation d'un système de mesure d'amortissements structurels dans les résonateurs micromécaniques en fonction de la température et de la fréquence. Pour déclencher le résonateur, ce système emploi l'actionnement électrostatique. Le mouvement est détecté simplement par optique. Le système est capable de mesurer des valeurs d'amortissement au-delà d'une grande étendue de fréquences (100 Hz to 1 MHz) et de températures (20 to 300°C). Au niveau expérimental, ce nouveau système de mesure d'amortissement facilite les mesures des effets des paramètres d'opérations et de conception sur la dissipation d'énergie des résonateurs miniaturisés.

Abstract:
The advent of the industrial revolution has brought a great number of changes in the functioning of various processes in manufacturing industries. The ways and means of working have evolved exponentially with the implementation of advanced technology. Moreover, with the increasing technology, the customer demands have also been varying dynamically due to changes in customer requirements focusing on individual customization. To cope with the dynamic demand, manufacturing industries had to make sure their products are manufactured with higher quality and shorter lead times. Implementation and efficient usage of technology has provided industries with the necessary tools to achieve market demand and stay competitive by growing continuously. The transformation aims to reach the level of zero-defect manufacturing and ensure higher first-time right yield capability with minimum utilization of available resources. However, technological advancements have not developed the quality inspection process of the manufacturing industry at the same level as other processes. Due to this, the quality inspection processes are still human dependent which requires a highly skilled human operator to perform inspection procedures using sensory abilities to detect deviations. Research suggests that human quality inspection is prone to errors due to fatigue as the process is continuous, strenuous, and tedious work. The efficiency of human inspection is around 80% which becomes a chronic problem in safety-critical and high-value manufacturing environments. Moreover, with the increasing level of customization and technology, the products are becoming more complex with intricate shapes and only human inspection is not enough to meet the customer requirements. Especially in the case of automotive industry in Body in White applications, human inspection of outer body panels, engine parts with tighter tolerances alone does not make the cut. Advancements in the field of metrology have led to the introduction of Coordinate measuring machines (CMM), which are classified as contact and non-contact measuring machines. The measurements are performed offline away from the production line, using the sampling method. The contact measuring machines are equipped with touch trigger probe devices that travel all over the part to make a virtual image of the product which is time-consuming but accurate. Whereas the noncontact measuring machines are equipped with laser scanners or optical devices which scan the part and develop a virtual model which is fast but has accuracy and repeatability issues due to external factors. But coordinate measuring machines have proven to be bottlenecks as they were not able to synchronize with the production pace and could not perform aninspection on all the produced parts, which would help in collecting data. The gathered data can be used to analyse root causes and generate trends in defect detection. With the advancements in non-contact measuring systems, automotive industries have also realized the potential of implementing inline measurement techniques to perform quality inspection. The non-contact measuring system consists of a robotic arm or setup which is equipped with a camera, sensors, and a complex algorithm to identify defects. This provides the robotic arm with machine vision which is works by taking a series of images of the product from various and process these images to detect deviations using digital image processing techniques. The inline measurement has proven to be accurate, fast, and repeatable to be implemented in synchronization with the production line. Further, the automotive industries are moving towards hybrid inspection systems which capitalize on the measuring speed of the robot and the fast decision-making ability of human senses.

Participative management practices between United States parent companies in the maquiladora industry and their Mexico assembly plants were investigated for this study. It was hypothesized that managers of parent maquiladora companies in the United States encouraged greater levels of worker participation than did expatriate managers in Mexican subsidiaries. However, the findings of this study indicate that expatriate managers in a number of the Mexico subsidiaries are currently implementing employee involvement approaches. In some instances, highly participative team-based approaches are being used.

ABSTRACT Lactate, the byproduct of anaerobic glycolysis, has been applied to predict the disease severity for several clinical circumstances. Excessive accumulation of lactate will disrupt the acid-base equilibrium of physiological environment. In the literature, we applied surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), equipped by LabRAM HR-800 spectrophotometer, to measure lactate solution in physiological concentration. We also modified the standard preparation of silver colloid, and thus prevented the formation of anomalous bands in SERS generated during redox process. Incidentally, we found that the addition of small amount ethanol has promoted the enhancement efficiency of silver nanoparticle solution enormously. We have obtained better signals to noise ratio, and let the monitoring of lactate in physiological concentration become more possible. The average size of self-assembly silver nanoparticle is ranged from 10nm to 100nm observed by transmission electron microscopy. The minimum concentration of lactate measured by us is 0.5 mM, the lowermost physiological level in human body. The correlation coefficient of area integration at 1385cm-1 in 0.5mM lactate is 0.9968. The other correlation coefficient of area integration at 840cm-1 in 0.5mM lactate is 0.984.

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is an objective method for rating the efficiency of a group of decision making units by using linear programming, input and output information. Research and development (R&D) is one of the most import activities in high-tech industries. DEA has been applied to evaluate operations efficiency of high-tech firms from various perspectives. The major issue in DEA applications is dealing with how to relate intellectual capital to performance ranking. Inadequate measure may lead to unreasonable result that poor ranking goes to the company with extensive R&D activity. Therefore, a study on the effect of measuring methods in DEA is conducted. Three approaches, MV/BV, Tobin’s Q, and accounting based valuation of corporate R&D, for measuring intellectual capital are applied to the calculation of the intangible asset indicators. In this study the models of DEA are constructed by using the four perspectives of balanced scorecard (BSC) and the three intangible asset indicators. Two major findings are presented. First, we take three years data of IC assembly & testing firms in Taiwan to measure the performance for each year under the three different intangible asset indicators. Results show that the MV / BV and Tobin''s Q methods to measure the performance is favorable to high-tech industries in ranking. Second, by adopting MPI (Malmquist Productivity Index), Total Factor Productivity Change, TFPC) and TE (technical efficiency), 12 companies can be classified by operations performance, and suggestions for business improvement can be easily made based on the classification.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces a new, two-dimensional way of measuring intra-party democracy (IPD). It is argued that assembly-based IPD and plebiscitary IPD are two theoretically different modes of intra-party decision-making. Assembly-based IPD means that discussion and decision over a certain topic takes place at the same time. Plebiscitary IPD disconnects the act of voting from the discussion over the alternatives that are put to a vote. In addition, some parties have opened up plebiscitary decision-making to non-members which is captured by the concept of open plebiscitary IPD. Based on the Political Party Database Project (PPDB) dataset, indices are developed for the three variants of IPD. The empirical analyses here show that assembly-based and plebiscitary IPD are combined by political parties in different ways while open party plebiscites are currently a rare exception.

Abstract:
This book sets out a measure of authority for seventy-six major international organizations (IOs) from 1950 to 2010 in an effort to provide systematic comparative information on international governance. On the premise that transparency is key in the production of data, the authors chart a path in laying out the assumptions that underpin the measure. Successive chapters detail the authors’ theoretical, conceptual, and coding decisions. In order to assess their authority, the authors model the composition of IO bodies, their roles in decision making, the bindingness of IO decisions, and the mechanisms through which they seek to settle disputes. Profiles of regional, cross-regional, and global IOs explain how they are composed and how they make decisions. A distinctive feature of the measure is that it breaks down the concept of international authority into discrete dimensions. The Measure of International Authority (MIA) is built up from coherent ingredients—the composition and role of individual IO bodies at each stage in policy making, constitutional reform, the budget, financial compliance, membership accession, and the suspension of members. These observations can be assembled—like Lego blocks—in diverse ways for diverse purposes. This produces a flexible tool for investigating international governance and testing theory.

Abstract:
Why are some nations wealthy and others poor? How did the wealthy nations become rich? What are the components of wealth? How should nations manage their wealth for the future? These are among the most important questions in economics. They are also impossible to answer without defining wealth, and understanding how it can be created, destroyed, stored, and managed. National Wealth: What is Missing, Why it Matters assembles a collection of high-quality contributions to define the key concepts and address the economic and policy issues around national wealth. It considers insights from economic history, addresses the impacts of the changes to national accounting, and teases out the policy implications for both rich and poor countries and the institutions within them. Using expert analysis and theoretically grounded empirical work, this book evaluates the progress that has been made in measuring national wealth, as well as the recent developments in theory and practice which show that the change in real wealth is an essential indicator of economic progress and future well-being. Measuring the change in real wealth answers the fundamental question: How much does the stream of future well-being of the population rise or fall as a result of policy actions today? Organized into four parts, National Wealth defines the key political and economic concepts of wealth, examines the history of wealth creation and destruction, and provides a detailed analysis of the individual components of wealth before finally examining the lessons for managing wealth for sustainable national prosperity.

Abstract:
AbstractEnsuring everyone has access to health care regardless of demographic, geographic and social economic status is a key component of universal health coverage. In sub-Saharan Africa, where populations are often sparsely distributed and services scarcely available, reducing distances or travel time to facilities is key in ensuring access to health care. This chapter traces the key concepts in measuring spatial accessibility by reviewing six methods—Provider-to-population ratio, Euclidean distance, gravity models, kernel density, network analysis and cost distance analysis—that can be used to model spatial accessibility. The advantages and disadvantages of using each of these models are also laid out, with the aim of choosing a model that can be used to capture spatial access. Using an example from Uganda, a cost distance analysis is used to model travel time to the nearest primary health care facility. The model adjusts for differences in land use, weather patterns and elevation while also excluding barriers such as water bodies and protected areas in the analysis. Results show that the proportion of population within 1-h travel times for the 13 regions in the country varies from 64.6% to 96.7% in the dry period and from 61.1% to 96.3% in the wet period. The model proposed can thus be used to highlight disparities in spatial accessibility, but as we demonstrate, care needs to be taken in accurate assembly of data and interpreting results in the context of the limitations.

Abstract:
AbstractThe high complexity of assemblies and components in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) leads to a high effort in the maintenance of the models and increases the time required for adjustments. Metrics indicating the complexity of a CAD Model can help to reduce it by showing the results of changes. This paper describes a concept to calculate metrics aiming to describe the extent of complexity of components in CAD systems based on an ontology-based representation in a first step. The representation is initially generated from CAD models using an automated process. This includes both a boundary representation and the history of the feature-based design. Thus, the design strategy also contributes to measuring the complexity of the component so that the same shape can lead to different complexity metrics. Semantic rules are applied to find patterns of the design and to identify and evaluate various strategies. Different metrics are proposed to indicate the particular influence factors of complexity and a single measure for the overall complexity. Furthermore, the influencing factors can also be used to allow the designer to see how to reduce the complexity of the component or assembly.

Abstract:
AbstractAs we enter the 2020s, global poverty is still a grave and persistent problem. Alleviating and eradicating poverty within and across the world’s societies requires a thorough understanding of its nature and extent. Although economists still standardly measure absolute and relative poverty in monetary terms, a consensus is emerging that poverty is a socially relational problem involving deprivations in multiple dimensions, including health, standard of living, education and political participation. The anthology Dimensions of Poverty advances the interdisciplinary debate on multidimensional poverty, and features contributions from leading international experts and early career researchers (including from the Global South). This introductory chapter gives an overview of formative debates, central concepts and key findings. While monetary poverty measures are still dominant in public and academic debate, their explanatory power has been drawn into question. We discuss relevant criticisms before outlining the normative concepts that can inform both multidimensional poverty and monetary measures, including basic capabilities, basic needs and social primary goods. Next, we introduce several influential multidimensional poverty indices, including the Human Development Index and the Multidimensional Poverty Index. The anthology shows in detail how such measures can be improved, from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. It shows that there are different methods of poverty research that require further investigation, including participatory studies, (value) surveys, public consensus building, the constitutional approach, and financial diaries. Finally, we show that there is an ongoing problem of epistemic asymmetries in global poverty research, and discuss responsibility for addressing poverty, including the responsibilities of academics. The remainder of the chapter is dedicated to a more detailed preview of the volume’s 20 contributions, which are assembled along the following five themes: (I) poverty as a social relation; (II) epistemic injustices in poverty research; (III) the social context of poverty; (IV) measuring multidimensional poverty; and (V) country cases.
