PRIORITIZATION OF POLICY INITIATIVES TO OVERCOME INDUSTRY 4.0 TRANSFORMATION BARRIERS BASED ON A PYTHAGOREAN FUZZY MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING APPROACH

Prioritization of policy initiatives to overcome Industry 4.0 transformation barriers based on a Pythagorean fuzzy multi-criteria decision making approach

Industry 4.0 (hereafter I4.0) transformation in manufacturing sectors is considerably gaining a lot of attention from both researchers and practitioners.To increase the success rate of I4.0 transformation, manufacturers and policymakers need to understand barriers and how to overcome them.This paper proposes an analytical framework to prioritize th

An Efficient Motion Control System for Underwater Gliders

This paper describes an underwater glider motion control system intended to enhance locomotive efficiency by reducing the energy expended by vehicle guidance and control.In previous work, the authors obtained an approximate analytical expression for steady turning motion as a regular perturbation from wings level flight.Using this steady turn solut

Nut Cracking Tools Used by Captive Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and Their Comparison with Early Stone Age Percussive Artefacts from Olduvai Gorge.

We present the results of a series under armour 1364182 of experiments at the Kumamoto Sanctuary in Japan, in which captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) performed several nut cracking sessions using raw materials from Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania.We examined captive chimpanzee pounding tools using a combination of technological analysis, use-wear distr
