The atomic absorption spectrometer revolutionized chemical analysis in the 1960s. Invented by Alan Walsh of the CSIRO Division of Chemical Physics, its manufacture in Australia began with three small Melbourne companies making the necessary optical, mechanical and electronic components. Subsequently, one of these companies, Techtron Pty Ltd, made a complete instrument and became a major supplier to the international market. Techtron expanded rapidly and in 1967 was sold to a large US company, Varian Associates Inc., which still operates as Varian Australia Pty Ltd and manufactures atomic absorption spectrometers and other scientific instruments at Mulgrave, Victoria.

Full textAbstract:
The mid-nineteenth century critical discourse compartmentalized art and industry by crediting each with specific powers. Manufacturing was identified with the development of technologically advanced processes, materials and products, while fine artists were given authority over the aesthetic aspects of industrial design. The idea that the two sectors had separate areas of responsibility has proved extremely enduring, and continues to influence our perceptions of Victorian manufacturing. This article contributes to the wider task of re-evaluating the relationship between art and industry in nineteenth-century Britain by examining the role of design in potteries and art metalworking firms from the manufacturer’s perspective. It shows that contrary to the picture painted by Victorian critics, design was central to the ambitions and commercial operations of manufacturing businesses. Crucially, decisions about the recruitment of design staff were shaped by the close connection between the creation of new products at the drawing board, and their fabrication in the workshop. Since each branch of manufacturing had its distinctive characteristics, there were significant practical, aesthetic and commercial advantages for manufacturers in employing experienced designers who knew the trade, and were fully conversant with production practices. Unless a professional sculptor joined a firm, they were unlikely to have this inside knowledge, which made commissioning one-off designs from artists a riskier proposition. Manufacturers found that one of the best ways to get around this was to make reductions of sculptures, and initial demand for statuettes in Parian suggested they would be profitable for all concerned. In the end, the market did not live up to its early promise, but the publicity given to Parian statuettes compensated manufacturers and sculptors. Overall, it was this increased public exposure for art manufactures that was the prime benefit of the mid-nineteenth century critical discourse for the industrial sector.

Full textAbstract:
Motor vehicle exhaust gas suicide (MVEGS) is the second most frequent method of suicide in Victoria, Australia. It is a highly lethal method of suicide with 1.5 deaths for every hospital admission. Australian regulations require all vehicles manufactured since 1998 to have a maximum carbon monoxide exhaust emission level of 2.1 g/km, reduced from the previous level of 9.6 g/km. Information surrounding all Victorian MVEGS between 1998-2002 was analyzed to determine whether suicides occurred in vehicles with the lower emission levels. Between 1998-2002, 607 suicides by this means were recorded while just 393 hospital admissions were recorded for the same period. Mean carboxyhaemoglobin levels were significantly lower in fatalities using vehicles manufactured from 1998, however suicide still occurred in these vehicles (n = 25). The extent to which the new regulations contributed to the relatively low rate of suicide in vehicles less than 5 years old compared to their frequency in the fleet remains unknown. Based on international experience and the age of the Victorian vehicle fleet, it may take well over a decade until substantial decreases in MVEGS are observed in the absence of active preventive measures.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This study explores the representation and use of Victorian visual aids, specifically focusing on how the design of spectacle and eyeglass frames shaped ideas of the ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ body. It contributes to our understanding of assistive technologies in the Victorian period by showcasing the usefulness of material evidence for exploring how an object was produced and perceived. By placing visual aids in their medical and cultural context for the first time, it will show how the study of spectacle and eyeglass frames develops our understanding of Victorian society more broadly. Contemporaries drew upon industrialization, increasing education, and the proliferation of print to explain a rise in refractive vision ‘errors’. Through exploring the design of three spectacle frames from the London Science Museum’s collections, this study will show how the representations and manufacture of visual aids transformed in response to these wider changes. The material evidence, as well as contemporary newspapers, periodicals, and medical texts, reveal that visual aids evolved from an unusual to a more mainstream device. It argues that visual aids are a unique assistive technology, one that is able to inform our understanding of how Victorians measured the body and constructed ideas of ‘normalcy’ and ‘abnormalcy’.

Full textAbstract:
This article uses thing theory to interrogate literary portrayals of ancient statues in Africa. It argues that Victorian colonists adopted a “rhetoric of thinghood” to portray these statues’ history and purpose as forever lost to time. By treating them as “things”—singular, incomprehensible, sublime—the statues could be decoupled from the indigenous cultures that made them. Victorians could thus avoid acknowledging the evidence that the objects’ appearance and manufacture provided of the existence of Black civilization, which Victorian race theory denied to Black Africans. Starting with an overview of the nineteenth-century European concept of fetishism, this article traces the development of that rhetorical sleight-of-hand through the real-world integration of the bust of Younger Memnon (now Ramses II) and other Egyptian antiquities into Eurocentric notions of world history: an integration that spurred a variety of interpretive methods intended to negate their racialized appearance. Nonetheless, many African artifacts, particularly those with human likenesses, remained sites of hegemonic destabilization, which authors like Haggard and Wells interrogated in their imperial romances. Under the assumed scrutiny of ancient statues—portrayed as pseudo-animate sentinels bearing silent witness to the unfolding of history—the justifications for colonial expansion corrode, triggering a more hostile and xenophobic mind-set in the Victorian protagonist.

A gravestone in a Teignmouth cemetery displays the following inscription: Robert ArthingtonBorn at Leeds May 20th, 1823Died at Teignmouth Oct. 9th, 1900His life and his wealth were devoted to the spread of the Gospel among the Heathen.That unassuming epitaph bears testimony to one of the most remarkable figures in the story of Victorian missionary expansion. The missionary movement from both Britain and North America depended for its regular income on the enthusiasm of the small-scale contributor, but the munificence of the wealthy was essential to the financing of special projects or the opening up of new fields. The role of, for example, the jam manufacturer William Hartley as treasurer of the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society, or of the chemical manufacturers James and John Campbell White in providing much of the finance for the Free Church of Scotland’s Livingstonia Mission, is relatively well known.

Historical scholarship on business—environment interactions has largely sidestepped the study of corporate innovations that had both economic and environmental benefits. This issue is examined through late-nineteenth-century initiatives sponsored by the British Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, whose aim was to document and promote the creation of profitable by-products out of polluting industrial waste and emissions. A case is made that the individuals involved in this effort not only anticipated concepts and debates now at the heart of the modern sustainable development literature, but also that their work questions some fundamental premises of this discourse.

Full textAbstract:
Halon is being removed from all Esso facilities in accordance with Victorian Environment Protection Legislation for the control of ozone depleting substances. The phasing out of halon as a fire protection system required critical evaluation of available alternatives for protection of turbine machinery and switchgear rooms.Esso Australia Ltd., having evaluated and tested a range of available halon replacement systems, has selected a European manufactured water mist as the preferred alternative for fire protection of turbine machinery enclosures. The system selected required significant modifications from the vendor's standard configuration in order for it to be applied to the offshore environment, be accepted by turbine Original Equipment Manufacturers and achieve independent third party certification. Water mist cannot be applied in all situations to replace halon, with an inert gaseous agent required for the protection of switchgear rooms and for flare snuffing.This paper discusses the issues associated with the selection and installation of this new technology and the lessons learnt. It also discusses issues associated with the evaluation, testing, design and installation of over 80 systems on 14 offshore platforms and two onshore plants.

Readers of Middlemarch (1871–1872) will remember the moment when Brooke's bid to win a seat in Parliament abruptly ends, in the middle of the Reform Bill campaign and in the middle of a speech. He tells the crowd how happy he is to be there. He tells the crowd he is a “close neighbor” of theirs. Then he says the following: “I've always gone a good deal into public questions – machinery, now, and machine-breaking – you're many of you concerned with machinery, and I've been going into that lately. It won't do, you know, breaking machines: everything must go on – trade, manufactures, commerce, interchange of staples – that kind of thing – since Adam Smith that must go on. We must look all over the globe: – ‘Observation with extensive view,’ must look everywhere, ‘from China to Peru,’ as somebody says – Johnson, I think, ‘The Rambler,’ you know. That's what I have done up to a certain point – not as far as Peru; but I've not always stayed at home – I saw it wouldn't do. I've been in the Levant, where some of your Middlemarch goods go – and then, again, in the Baltic. The Baltic, now.” (Eliot, Middlemarch 349; Book 5, ch. 51) It's when he passes from the Levant to the Baltic that Brooke is interrupted by a laugh-creating echo from the crowd, an echo which, “by the time it said, ‘The Baltic, now'” (350; Book 5, ch. 51), has become fatal.

El presente estudio aborda el problema público de una alta tasa de unidades productivas
informales de Manufactura Textil y Confecciones del Emporio Comercial de Gamarra –
La Victoria en el periodo 2019 – 2020. De acuerdo a un estudio del Instituto Nacional de
Estadística e Informática (INEI, 2017) que aborda la informalidad en unidades
productivas con local y sin local, estima que existen 5532 unidades productivas
informales con local en Gamarra. Asimismo, en cuanto a lo tributario, la SUNAT (2017)
señala que “El 40% de las transacciones que realizan en Gamarra (…) no se entrega el
comprobante de pago”. Respecto al empleo informal, en entrevistas realizadas a
trabajadores de Gamarra, se reporta que los trabajadores no cuentan con beneficios
sociales; ostentan sueldos bajos y trabajan horas extras y también en feriados, sin percibir
remuneración, es decir, no cuentan con protección legal y social. Posteriormente de
desarrollar el análisis causal del problema, se logró identificar trece causas, siendo las
más importantes: altos costos de cumplimiento, competencia económica desleal,
dificultades para el acceso al financiamiento y la causa “bajo nivel de productividad”, la
cual fue seleccionada, formulando el desafío de innovación ¿Cómo podemos aumentar
los niveles de productividad de las unidades productivas informales de Manufactura
Textil del Emporio Comercial de Gamarra para que accedan al mercado del sector formal?
Frente a ese desafío se desarrolla como prototipo final “Articulación de redes productivas
y formales”, que consiste en identificación y promoción de redes empresariales,
desarrollando acompañamiento técnico productivo – empresarial y articulación
comercial, sobre la base de un modelo articulado de alianzas institucionales para
establecer sinergias con entidades públicas y privadas, basados en un modelo integral que
les permita desarrollar capacidades productivas, mejorar procesos, diseños y calidad de
los productos de las unidades económicas, de tal manera que, al vincular el modelo de
negocio con la demanda, la exigencia del mercado por la formalización, surge como una
oportunidad para acceder a clientes potenciales. El estudio concluye, que el prototipo de
innovación cumple con criterios de deseabilidad, factibilidad y viabilidad, y, además,
ostenta ventajas comparativas, generando un alto impacto en el desarrollo económico de
Gamarra.The present study aproach the public problem of a high rate of informal productive units of Textile Manufacturing and Confections of the Commercial Emporium of Gamarra - La Victoria in the period 2019 - 2020. According to a study by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI, 2017), about informality in productive units with and without premises, estimated that there are 5,532 informal productive units with premises in Gamarra. Also, in terms of tax, SUNAT (2017) proclaimed that "40% of the transactions carried out in Gamarra (...) the voucher is not delivered." Regarding informal employment, in interviews with Gamarra workers, it was reported that workers do not have social benefits; they boast low wages and work overtime and also on holidays, without receiving remuneration, that is, they do not have legal and social protection. After developing the causal analysis of the problem, we seek to identify thirteen causes, being the most important, high compliance costs, unfair economic competition, difficulties in accessing financing, and the cause "low productivity level", which was selected, formulating the innovation challenge with it. How can we increase the productivity levels of the informal productive units of the Textile Manufacture of the Gamarra Commercial Emporium so that they access the formal sector market? Faced with this challenge, the final prototype "Articulation of productive and formal networks" is developed, which consists of the identification and promotion of business networks, developing technicalproductive support - business and commercial articulation, based on a model for commercial articulation, on the basis of a model for commercial articulation synergies with public and private entities, based on an integral model that allows them to develop productive capacities, improve processes, designs and quality of the products of the economic units, in such a way that, by linking the model of business with the demand, the demand of the market for the formalization, arises as an opportunity to access potential clients. The study concludes that the innovation prototype meets the criteria of desirability, feasibility and viability, and also has comparative advantages, generating a high impact on Gamarra's economic development.

Hu, Jigao. "Data visualization & TQM implementation : a study of the implementation of data visualization in total quality management in Victorian manufacturing industry." Thesis, 1995. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/18177/.
Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Data visualisation (DV) is the process of creating and presenting a chart given a set of
active data and sets of attribute and entity constraints. It rapidly and interactively
investigates large multivariate and multidisciplinary data sets to detect trends,
correlations, and anomalies.
Data Visualisation is the latest analytical tool for both technical computer users and
business computer users. Total Quality Management (TQM) is continuous
improvement in the performance of all processes and the products and services that
are the outcomes of those processes. In quality management, DV is one of the three
new tools that complement the existing seven, which are flow charts, Ishikawa or
cause and effect diagrams, Pareto charts, histograms, run charts and graphs,
scattergrams and control charts. It lets quality control engineers readily see the real
reasons for quality problems by presenting the data in up to six dimensions.
Methodology:
A survey by mail questionnaire was conducted to collect data from one hundred
Victorian manufacturing companies. Responses were received from 52 companies out
of the total of 100. The sample size for each analysis may vary from 52 to 49.
The source for company information was Kompass Australia 1994/1995. The
statistical analysis tool used was Statistica.
Major Findings:
The TQM program implementation tends to be more complete in companies with more
employees.
Wordprocessing software is adopted by all companies in TQM practice, mostly for
producing a quality instructional manual. Spreadsheet and database packages are the
second and the third most commonly used software.
Companies that have completed their formal TQM program implementation generally
use computer software in more aspects of their TQM practice than companies at lower
TQM stages though not always.
Two-dimensional DV techniques are more commonly used than three-dimensional
ones with the 2-D colour and 2-D shade the most widely used by all. The 3-D
animation tool needs to be explored.
DV features are generally important for all the users. The ability to handle complex
data is more important for companies at a higher stage of TQM program
implementation than companies at lower stages.

In this essay, through the analysis of sustainability related topics, I'll be studying and mentioning the best ways for brands to develop and establish themselves consciously in both national and international markets whilst facing not only environmental issues, but also issues regarding the needs of today's society and future generations. The theoretical research component of this essay goes hand in hand with the practical part. Throughout its development, a conceptual path is drawn leading to the projection and establishment of a brand. The identity, packaging, catalog and the product itself are the prime elements. In the theoretical component, a study of the sustainability concept and its aspects will take place. In a world threatened by pollution and extreme consumption, protecting life on Earth requires a radical change in society. The analysis of activist manifests like First Things First 2000 and the influence of projects by designers like Victor Papanek shows us the importance that design has conquered as a tool for social transformation. In the practical component, the creation, development and establishment of a sustainability brand named CUSCUZ takes place. Where the word "sustainability" is highlighted, not as a marketing strategy, but as priority in all of its development. The ecological aspect of the brand CUSCUZ, which is first in line in eco-design in Portugal, can be assured in their main product (sunglasses) and in every other product involved. The essay focuses on the creation of several graphic objects associated with the brand, from its identity to all the promotional materials, but above all with an emphasis given to a publication, with book-style that spells out the basic concepts of the CUSCUZ brand, and which also arises with the aim of having a product catalog functionality.

Full textAbstract:
After a brief discussion of Eugene Rimmel and Septimus Piesse, two major manufacturers and promoters of Victorian perfume, this chapter provides an overview of fragrance use for the Victorians, and explores attitudes towards perfume in early and mid-Victorian fiction with special reference to the figure of the scented dandy. The second part of this chapter shows how Victorian poetry reflects the influential perfumed legacy of Romanticism and, in particular, Shelley, a key precursor for many aesthetic and decadent writers, with an illustrative reading of Edmund Gosse’s ‘Perfume’, a sonnet saturated with echoes from both Shelley and Keats. After a brief discussion of the ‘hothouse’ atmosphere of aestheticism, decadence, and the fin de siècle, the chapter concludes with reference to the aggressive reaction of male modernists, and in particular, T. S. Eliot, to a Romantic and Victorian culture seen as decadent, feminine, and perfumed.

Full textAbstract:
Launched in 1995 with the discovery of more than seventy enslaved Thai workers in a suburban apartment complex surrounded by barbed wire fence, the movement to end garment sweatshops—led by the Asian Pacific American Legal Center—pioneered the integration of strategic litigation and worker organizing to challenge inequality in Los Angeles. The sweatshop regime was built upon a legal foundation of subcontracting, which insulated retailers and manufacturers from the contractors actually producing clothing. At its most ambitious, the campaign sought to make legal responsibility follow economic power, rupturing the fiction that protected retailers and manufacturers from labor abuses such as those uncovered in the Thai worker case. Chapter 2 shows how lawyers built a powerful alliance with labor and grassroots organizers, won important legal victories in court, and achieved passage of a landmark state law creating manufacturer liability for contract labor violations. It then traces the campaign through the fierce battle against retailer Forever 21, which showed the power of industry countermobilization and ultimately marked the end of the litigation campaign. This outcome underscored a central lesson of legal mobilization in the new economy: Individual enforcement and litigation strategies, even when paired with innovative organizing and media campaigns, faced long odds challenging abuse enabled by extensive contracting and—crucially—the threat of global outsourcing. However, in fusing law and organizing, the anti-sweatshop campaign marked a new beginning in the movement against low-wage work—one that would deploy the tools honed in the garment manufacturing context to target Los Angeles’s immobile service industries.

In 17th Annual North American Waste-to-Energy Conference. ASMEDC, 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/nawtec17-2342.
Full textAbstract:
The Mojave Desert and Mountain Recycling Authority is a California Joint Powers Authority (the JPA), consisting of nine communities in California’s San Bernardino County high desert and mountain region. In August 2008 the JPA contracted with Gershman, Brickner & Bratton, Inc. (GBB) to prepare the Victor Valley Resource Management Strategy (Resource Management Strategy). Working with RRT Design and Construction, Inc. (RRT), GBB prepared a coordinated forward-looking strategy to guide the JPA’s future program and facilities decisions. The Resource Management Strategy focused on the Town of Apple Valley, population 70,092, and the City of Victorville, population 107,408, the two largest JPA member communities, which have a combined total of more than 130,000 tons per year of material entering the JPA’s recycling system and the Victorville Landfill. The Resource Management Strategy is underpinned by a characterization of waste loads delivered to the Victorville Landfill. A visual characterization was carried out by RRT in September/October 2008. RRT engineers identified proportions of materials recoverable for recycling and composting among all loads collected from residential and non-residential generators for a full week, nearly 300 loads total. The JPA financed and manages the operations contract for the highly automated Victor Valley Material Recovery Facility (MRF). The MRF today receives and processes an average of 130 tons per day (tpd), five days per week, of single stream paper and containers and recyclable-rich commercial waste loads. The waste characterization indicated that as much as 80 percent of loads of residential and commercial waste currently landfilled could be processed for recycling and composting in a combination manual and automated sorting facility. Residue from the MRF, which is predominated by paper, would provide potential feedstock for an energy recovery project; however, the JPA has two strategies regarding process residue. The first strategy is to reduce residue rates from existing deliveries, to optimize MRF operations. An assessment of the MRF conducted by RRT indicated that residue rates could be reduced, although this material would continue to be rich in combustible materials. The second strategy is to increase recovery for recycling by expanding the recyclable-rich and organics-dense waste load deliveries to the MRF and/or a composting facility. The Resource Management Strategy provided a conceptual design and cost that identified projected capital and operations costs that would be incurred to expand the MRF processing system for the program expansion. Based on the waste composition analysis, residue from a proposed system was estimated. This residue also would be rich in combustible materials. The December 2008 California Scoping Plan is the roadmap for statewide greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts. The Scoping Plan specifically calls out mandatory commercial recycling, expanded organics composting (particularly food residue), and inclusion of anaerobic digestion as renewable energy. The Resource Management Strategy sets the stage for JPA programs to address Scoping Plan mandates and priorities. California Public Resources Code Section 40051(b) requires that communities: Maximize the use of all feasible source reduction, recycling, and composting options in order to reduce the amount of solid waste that must be disposed of by transformation and land disposal. For wastes that cannot feasibly be reduced at their source, recycled, or composted, the local agency may use environmentally safe transformation or environmentally safe land disposal, or both of those practices. Moreover, Section 41783(b) only allows transformation diversion credit (10 percent of the 50 percent required) if: The transformation project uses front-end methods or programs to remove all recyclable materials from the waste stream prior to transformation to the maximum extent feasible. Finally, prior to permitting a new transformation facility the California Integrated Waste Management Board is governed by Section 41783(d), which requires that CIWMB: “Hold a public hearing in the city, county, or regional agency jurisdiction within which the transformation project is proposed, and, after the public hearing, the board makes both of the following findings, based upon substantial evidence on the record: (1) The city, county, or regional agency is, and will continue to be, effectively implementing all feasible source reduction, recycling, and composting measures. (2) The transformation project will not adversely affect public health and safety or the environment.” The Resource Management Strategy assessed two cement manufacturers located in the high desert region for their potential to replace coal fuel with residue from the MRF and potentially from other waste quantities generated in the region. Cement kilns are large consumers of fossil fuels, operate on a continuous basis, and collectively are California’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. The Resource Management Strategy also identified further processing requirements for size reduction and screening to remove non-combustible materials and produce a feasible refuse derived fuel (RDF). A conceptual design system to process residue and supply RDF to a cement kiln was developed, as were estimated capital and operating costs to implement the RDF production system. The Resource Management Strategy addressed the PRC requirement that “all feasible source reduction, recycling and composting measures” are implemented prior to approving any new “transformation” facility. This planning effort also provided a basis for greenhouse gas reduction analysis, consistent with statewide initiatives to reduce landfill disposal. This paper will report on the results of this planning and the decisions made by the JPA, brought current to the time of the conference.
