Appui à la mise en place de l'observatoire national de la filière riz du Burkina Faso : rapport de missions 14-30 mai et 12-18 juillet 2003
No full textDeux missions successives ont été effectuées en mai et juillet 2003. Ce rapport a été rédigé pour l'essentiel après la première mission, et complété suite à la seconde, le changement d'administrateur de l'observatoire nous ayant conduit à ne pas établir une programmation définitive sans une participation de celui qui aurait à la mettre en oeuvre. Les objectifs de l'observatoire, ses principes de fonctionnement, ses relations avec son environnement institutionnel (en particulier le CIR-B) ont été largement développés suite à la mission de juillet 2002 (DAVID-BENZ et FAIVRE-DUPAIGRE, 2002). Nous ne reviendrons ici que brièvement sur ces points, pour mettre l'accent sur les aspects concrets de démarrage des activités de l'observatoire. En revanche, le changement d'administrateur nous a conduit à devoir faire figurer dans ce rapport de nombreux éléments de détail, afin de pouvoir constituer un outil de travail suffisamment précis pour le nouvel administrateur et de limiter la déperdition d'information
Customer Car Preference Options : A Case Of Mercedes-Benz
No full textMercedes-Benz customers are in for challenging decisions when selecting the next Mercedes-Brenz vehicle. The Russo-Ukranian war has had a price increase on fuels used in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The purchasing power has decreased in cause of inlfation for the Mercedes-Benz customer. The aim of this thesis was to map out the Mercedes-Benz customers preferences for the next desired vehicle, because of the current challenging times. Which drivetrain would the most popular in the current situation, diesel, petrol, hybrid or electric variants, what bodystyle is the most popular for the Mercedes-Benz customer, SUV, estate, sedan, hatchback or shooting brake are all the questions that need to be answered.
In the theoretical framework the author also goes through the history of the drivetrains to see where it all began with each drivetrain. For the emperical section the data collected can be applied to use in businesses in the automotive sector especially if the data is suitable for the businesses, it can be used in any way they see fitting.
The results of the thesis show that the most popular drivetrains were the internal combustion variants, diesel was the most popular and petrol was second, when the customer is seeking to buy a Mercedes-Benz vehicle at the moment. The most popular bodystyles were Estate, Sedan and SUV variants of the Mercedes-Benz lineup
Ikigai: A reason for Being A Holistic Vision of Mercedes-Benz 2030
No full textThis Master thesis was developed for Mercedes-Benz AG. The following report elaborates the steps taken in developing a holistic interior vision for ‘Sustainable Luxury’ of Mercedes-Benz. In seek of representation for the future societal needs, and possible future challenges and opportunities in terms of holistic mobility conceptualisation, the research took place in the rural areas of Japan. Therefore, this project is aimed at ‘Self-reliant people accepting innovation raised on the traditional values’. These people are seeking the segregated life, focused on the abundant luxury of time, bonds of smaller communities, and personal fulfilment. Cherishing the community traditions, innovation is acceptable if it preserves the experiential domain of respect towards community members and the environment. To fulfil the demand for such a context, the mission was ‘to achieve a perception of an abundance of less within the experience and perception of the product while keeping the identity of the brand intact.’ As the reconciliation between sustainability and luxury indicates the change of expression of luxury in means of a form, the qualities of the premium experience are set to keeping the utmost feeling of safety and physical ease leading to comfort. Therefore, ‘encountering a moment for yourself, within a shared experience, in comfort.’ was set as the desired interaction. The ideation led to the development of three concept ideas, which were further validated and iterated leading to the conclusive vision ‘Ikigai: A reason for being’. Ikigai presents mobility solution as part of the holistic system of sustainability and manifests as a contribution to the context. The vision ‘Ikigai’ is a Level 4 shared mobility service by Mercedes-Benz, intended for the rural communities of Japan. The on-demand service, utilising the Mercedes-Benz municipal vehicle, grants community residents overcoming the dependence on the pre-scheduled, public transportation of the area. The private zones in the interior space are providing users with a possibility for individual focus and relaxation while in a shared environment. Ikigai’s minimalistic interior is enriched by the works of local craftsman. The material finishings of unique algae-based materials and bio-luminescent lights, produced in the village, are limited to the vehicle design specific to the area. Consequently, the car simultaneously represents exclusivity of the local craftsmen and uniqueness of the tradition, sharing them in rides beyond the borders of the village. The brand remains to provide unique personal experiences within innovative products. Meticulous attention to details and high build quality bring it to the class of its own in providing a sense of safety and physical ease leading to Mercedes-Benz comfort.Design for Interactio
Bilambdoid and posterior sagittal synostosis: The Mercedes Benz Syndrome
No full textA consistent pattern of craniosynostosis in the sagittal and bilateral lambdoid sutures is described in three patients. The external cranial ridging associated with fusion of these sutures produces a characteristic triradiate, or "Mercedes Benz," appearance to the posterior skull. Locally marked growth restriction is evident in the posterior fossa with compensatory secondary expansion of the anterior fossa manifesting a degree of frontal bossing which mimics bicoronal synostosis. Although this appearance could lead to inadvertent surgery in the frontal region, attention to the occipital region with wide early suture excision and vault shaping is indicated.Moore, Mark H., Abbott, Amanda H., Netherway, David J., Menard, Robert and Hanieh, Ahma
What Daimler-Benz has learned as an industrial partner from the Machine Learning Project StatLog
No full textAuthor of this paper was co-ordinator of the Machine Learning project StatLog during 1990-1993. This project was supported financially by the European Community. The main aim of StatLog was to evaluate different learning algorithms using real industrial and commercial applications. As an industrial partner and contributor, Daimler-Benz has introduced different applications to StatLog among them fault diagnosis, letter and digit recognition, credit-scoring and prediction of the number of registered trucks. We have learned a lot of lessons from this project which have effected our application oriented research in the field of Machine Learning (ML) in Daimler-Benz. We have distinguished that, especially, more research is necessary to prepare the ML-algorithms to handle the real industrial and commercial applications. In this paper we describe, shortly, the Daimler-Benz applications in StatLog, we discuss shortcomings of the applied MLalgorithms and finally we outline the fields where we t..
Fifty years of (benz)oxaphospholene chemistry
No full textThe first synthesis of benzoxaphospholenes dates back to the 1960s. Since then, the structural variety of reported (benz)oxaphospholenes has steadily increased. Organophosphorus compounds have caught the interest of synthetic chemists for a couple of decades now because of their interesting biological properties. Oxaphospholenes, in particular, could serve as carbohydrate mimetics, and benzoxaphospholenes have been reported to possess bactericidal, insecticidal, herbicidal, and fungistatical properties. Transesterification reactions and addition of phosphorus nucleophiles to carbonyl compounds were reaction types that led to the production of the first (benz)oxaphospholenes. When it was discovered that allenylphosphonates could easily be obtained from propargyl alcohols and dialkyl halophosphites, the electrophile-induced cyclization reaction of these allenylphosphonate precursors resulted in a huge boom in the amount of reports on oxaphospholene synthesis. To this day, this method is still frequently used. Ring-closing metathesis and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions have also proven their potential for the preparation of oxaphospholenes. In recent years, Pd, Rh and Au-catalysis have made their entry, generating (benz)oxaphospholenes from a wide variety of simple substrates. A couple of miscellaneous methods are summarized at the end of the Review
