Grid Services for Multi-objective Optimisation
No full textOrganised by: Cranfield UniversityThe emerging grid technology is defined as an infrastructure for secure and coordinated large-scale
resource sharing. In this paper, we describe the architecture and grid services of DECGrid. DECGrid
enables distributed design experts to collaborate and share resources during design optimisation.
Mathematical models are built using services by experts. These models are then directly linked to NSGA-II
optimisation algorithm service and allow design experts to enter design parameters of their choice. A real-life
case study-welded beam problem was used to validate the prototype. The results obtained showed a wider
spread in the solution space compared to the results in literature.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Compan
Mechanical Characterization of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Composite
No full textNatural fiber is mostly used in automobile and aerospace industry. Currently most used in natural fiber reinforcement are sisal, flex, hemp, and banana. The natural fiber is mined by using manual and retting processes. The agricultural waste can be used to prepare fibers it has major advantage is renewable resources and have marketing demand. The polymer composite have many advantage such as mechanical strength such as tensile, impact and flexural strength over traditional glass fiber and monogenic materials. In this paper to fabricate the polymer composite with using on sisal and banana reinforcement with treated with NAOH solution. These processes are enhancing the bonding strength between fiber and resin by removing moisture contents. After fabricated polymer composite to prepare the samples as per ASTM standard, the samples are tested for different composition of sisal, banana and sisal banana reinforced composites. M.

Educating T-shaped Design, Business and Engineering Professionals
No full textOrganised by: Cranfield UniversityThe paper provides an insight into the International Design Business Management Program (IDBM), an
attempt to educate T-shaped professionals who can combine design, business and technology knowledge.
IDBM is creating a new master program, in which solid theoretical basis, delivery methods, and structure are
being developed to improve both coherence and relevance within the curriculum. To contribute to the
coherence of systemic competence development, a model of five major dimensions – tools, environment,
management, process, organisation (TEMPO) – is proposed. To ensure the relevance of the program, four
professional orientation tracks are built into the curriculum; research, management, consulting and
entrepreneurship.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Compan

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Pelevin’s Trinity in the novel “t”: author – protagonist – reader
No full textThe article attempts to interpret Pelevin's artistic strategy in the novel "T" by exploring its subject organization and addressing the key problems of the author, the protagonist, and the reader as they are seen by the researcher. The article analyzes the peculiarities of constructing the narrative reality in the novel "T", and goes on to discuss Pelevin's philosophic models of the development of the humankind, and the emergence of his new anthropology

Measuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method
No full textIn this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;
