Automatisation developments on ESRF-EBS BM05 beamline by Fabien Léonard, Florian Jürries, Elodie Boller

“…For all users, the automatisation developments are focused on being able to set-up the beamline in a pre-defined state as easily and quickly as possible, so that time consuming user interventions (and potential mistakes) are minimised. For academic users, a graphical user interface (GUI) called Daiquiri tomo has been developed as a simple tool for non-experts to be able to perform most of their scanning operations in a user-friendly and efficient fashion, with minimum support from beamline scientists. …”

Considering risk associated with leisure time physical activity (LTPA) at craft breweries: overlooking dangers in the name of fun by Alana N Seaman, Lindsey Schroeder, Madison Peace, Michele Abee, Laura Morris

“…Together the findings suggest the affect heuristic of risk perception may be influencing stakeholders where risk is being overlooked and minimised in the name of fun. Such attitudes contrast sharply with the views of experts, implying the existence of a knowledge deficit about risk in these settings among hosts and patrons alike; a deficit that should be addressed with more explicit information and clarity about hazards, potential for accidents and liability associated with LTPA at breweries.…”

A Novel Methodology for Performance Evaluation in Advanced Quality Control by Ethel García, Rita Peñabaena-Niebles, Winston S. Percybrooks, Kevin Palomino

“…Unlike previous research, our evaluation methodology addresses the sensitivity of classification models to various factors, emphasising the critical balance between early detection and minimising false alarms. The findings reveal that window size significantly impacts the model’s sensitivity to pattern changes, highlighting that measuring early detection alone is impractical in real-world applications. …”

Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 12 in Cities: Best Practices by Ewa Jastrzębska

“…Attainment of SDG 12 requires the pursuit of the concept of a circular economy (CE), namely, one where the value of products, materials and resources is maintained in the economy for as long as possible, and the generation of waste is minimised. The review of best practices from Polish and other cities, demonstrates their efforts to work towards a CE through diverse and comprehensive initiatives, beyond their tasks and competencies. …”

Programación de operaciones en dos etapas para un flowshop multiperíodo no tradicional by Juan Pablo Orejuela-Cabrera

“…En el presente documento se desarrolla una metodología de dos etapas para programar las operaciones en un flowshop multiperíodo, en éste se tienen trabajos que aunque que se deben terminar en la misma ventana de tiempo, unos son de entrega inmediata y deben programarse en el momento más temprano de la ventana, y otros en el momento más tardío, de tal modo que se minimice su tiempo de permanencia en el sistema. Se plantea una estrategia de descomposición temporal para el problema multiperíodo, en la que se combina la programación estructurada con la programación lineal, de tal modo que para cada periodo se corren dos fases compuestas de dos modelos matemáticos que programan los trabajos según su prioridad. …”
