Smart factories create competitive advantage for global manufacturers
A new model for understanding how multinationals can gain a competitive edge from their manufacturing networks has been created as a result of a recent study by Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Director of Judge Business School, and Professor Ann Vereecke and Professor Roland Van Dierdonck of the Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School in Belgium.
Mixing Domains: Architecture plus Software Engineering
Software engineering is a multidisciplinary area of knowledge combining competence in computation with at least one other area of expertise, typically in the domain of the applications being created. A course offering for students of engineering, architecture and software engineering at Carnegie Mellon illustrates the challenges and opportunities of cross-domain instruction. These include ontology, problem taxonomies, and instruction strategies.

More generally, they examine some of the shifts in attitude concerning death and religious belief which were taking place in Europe at the end of the eighteenth century, through examination of this and other short essays. Hume was a pivotal figure in the Scottish Enlightenment and his death in 1776 was widely anti Science and Religion: Belief or Commitment? 3 Aims The aim of this section is to help you to think about how you study mathematics and consider ways in which you can make your study more effective.

Optical networking is in its infancy, but the concept of the optical layer based upon wavelength channels is emerging. The optical layer effectively sits below the SDH layer in the network, and provides wavelength channels from one location to another. An analogy can Television News Careers : What Is Hard News?

Statistics: Variance of a Population - Khan Academy Hoover Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant Tour Part 2 Preamble The two main types of superconducting materials are known as type-I and type-II superconductors, and their properties will be discussed in the remainder of this course. All of the pure elemental superconductors are type-I, with the exception of niobium, vanadium and technetium. The discussion of the effects of magnetic fields and currents on superconductors earlier in this course has been confined to thin cylinders of type-I materials like lead or tin in a parallel magnet 2008.08.22 - Special Young Benefactors Lecture Keep on learning   There are more than 800 courses on OpenLearn for you to 1.2 Real numbers The rational and irrational numbers together make up the real numbers.

Hard news describes stories that are featured at the top of a newscast or on the front page of a newspaper that are usually very serious, time-sensitive and often negative in nature. Hear examples of hard news, as opposed to fluff or soft news, with insider information from award-winning former TV news anchor, Glenn Selig, in this video on television jobs.

This is a series of video clips taken when visiting the Hoover Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant back on December 28, 2008. Hoover Dam is located at Lake Mead at the Arizona and Nevada State line and just East of Las Vegas on US Highway 93. The highway goes over the dam, but a by pass bridge is being built across the Colorado River just down stream from the dam due to be completed in September of 2009.
