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

Abstract Background The barn owl Tyto alba is a medium-sized nocturnal raptor, predator of small mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects, distributed all over the world.Environmentally uncontaminated wild barn owl pellets are hard and rare to find and provide a natural matrix for biological investigations.Results Different solutions for collecting wi

The design of the chip flute in indexable insert drills significantly influences chip removal efficiency, drill diameter deflection, and drill deformation in the metal drilling process, which are crucial for maintaining drill stability and minimizing deviations in the diameter of the drilled hole.However, traditional chip flute designs fail to meet

Abstract Aromatase inhibitors have been introduced as a new treatment modality that could challenge clomiphene citrate as an ovulation induction regiment in patients with PCOS.Although several randomized trials have been conducted regarding their use as ovulation induction agents, only few trials are available regarding their efficacy in IVF stimul

For switched reluctance motor (SRM), due to the excessive Gifts - Books peak-to-peak current occurs at the initial stage under the direct instantaneous torque control (DITC) algorithm, the motor efficiency has been affected to some extent.For this propose, a DITC optimization algorithm combined with high torque per ampere (HTPA) is introduced in th
