In today's competitive market, business organizations must strive for escalating efficiency and optimize their manufacturing operations to confirm sustainability. To attain this, they need to ponder various factors to minimize the risks of machine failure and respond promptly to customer demands in a prompt manner. Our proposal focuses on predictability and real-time monitoring of machine deterioration, as well as the influence of the time value of money on any machines. Machines generally deteriorate over time, leading to production latency and hypothetically lower-quality products. In this article, we propose utilizing the Cox regression model to optimize factory benefits by employing proactive analytics and preventive maintenance, guaranteeing reliable quality in production at all times. This analysis will evaluate machine survival conditions and will be based on hazard and risk ratios.
The article discusses the levels of radon concentration in soil samples from the Midelt region of Morocco. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is known to increase the risk of lung cancer, and understanding its presence and migration is important for predicting and mitigating radon exposure in indoor environments. The study aims to determine the natural levels of radon radioactivity in soil samples from four locations in the Midelt region and evaluate the collective impact of radiological hazard indices, such as annual effective dose equivalent, surface area, and mass radon exhalation rate. The soil samples were collected from Tounfite, Boumia, Aghbalou, and Zaida, and analyzed using the AlphaGUARD device to measure the activity concentration of radon. This study provides important information about the levels of radon concentration in the soil of the Midelt region of Morocco, which can be used to predict and mitigate radon exposure in residential and other indoor environments.
The preparation method of SBS-modified asphalt has a direct effect on its overall performance. Currently, the optimal process is usually determined by conventional performance properties, such as softening point, ductility, and penetration, which may deviate from practical field performance. This study aims to investigate the influence of different preparation methods on the performance and microstructure of SBS-modified asphalt based on fluorescence microscopy testing, the multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) test, the linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test, as well as Burgers model fitting. SBS-modified asphalt was prepared with different shear rates, shear temperatures, shear times, development time, and sulfur addition. The results show that the optimal process for preparing SBS-modified asphalt is 2 h of shearing at 180 °C and 4000 r/min, followed by sulfurization and 6 h of development. The performance of SBS-modified asphalt is most notably influenced by sulfurization, which forms C–S bonds to make the polymer network stronger, thereby improving the high-temperature performance as well as the fatigue resistance. However, due to high-temperature sensitivity, C–S bonds may break during development, leading to weakened performance. The performance of SBS-modified asphalt without sulfur addition shows a monotonically increasing trend with the extension of development time.
With the development of urbanization, the transportation network of underground tunnels has been gradually formed and improved. It is a complicated issue for engineering construction when two municipal road tunnels intersect at one point. Based on a construction site of the crossing point of the Huayuan Road Tunnel and Luzhou Road Tunnel in Hefei City, China, the finite element analysis method is used to calculate and analyze the deformation characteristics of the crossing point of the tunnels during the asymmetric construction of connecting parts. The deformation behaviors of the crossing point of tunnels subjected to symmetrical construction are also studied for comparison. Results show that the deformations of the supporting pile and tunnel frame structures increase rapidly when they are subjected to asymmetric construction, while the lateral movement of the supporting pile and the deformation of the tunnel structure can be greatly limited when the symmetrical construction method is adopted. Some suggestions for engineering construction are put forward to ensure the safety of the structure, such as multi-stage construction and temporary supporting measure.
During the last years, e-commerce has grown rapidly. As a result, the number of parcel deliveries in urban areas is increasing, which affects the inner-city traffic and leads to congestion and air pollution, thereby decreasing the quality of life in cities. City administrators and logistic service providers have been working on the optimization of parcel distribution in order to alleviate congestion and reduce the negative impact on the environment. One of the solutions for environmentally friendly parcel distribution are two-stage distribution systems with city hubs. City hubs are facilities located close to the delivery area which are used as an enabling infrastructure to store and consolidate the parcels. For the last mile delivery from the city hub to final customers, zero emission vehicles, such as cargo bikes, can be used. Many studies have been conducted on this topic in recent years. This paper contributes to this research area by evaluating the implementation of such a two-stage distribution system with a city hub and cargo bikes in Innsbruck, Austria. The goal is to determine the best location for a city hub and the composition of the delivery fleet by minimizing the total distribution and CO2 -emission cost. E-vans are used for the first and cargo bikes for the second stage of the parcel delivery. The problem is modeled as a vehicle routing problem with multiple trips and is solved in ArcGIS Pro, using the built-in routing solver. The analysis shows that all hub candidates provide comparably good results, with one potential station, the main station, showing the highest improvement compared to the basic system, with delivery by conventional vans. Savings in distribution costs of up to 30% can be achieved. Furthermore, by taking into account both indirect and direct emissions with a well-to-wheel approach, CO2 -emissions can be reduced by 96%.
