Abstract:
... Smart products typically have a strong sense of technology but rarely consider factors related to emotional design, thus keeping users at a distance. Human-centric emotional design can enhance the stickiness of products and maximize product use. To include emotional factors in the design of smart products, this paper constructed a top-down development method for smart product-service systems (PSS) ...

Abstract:
... Design for remanufacture (DfRem) plays an important role in improving remanufacture efficiency of end-of-life (EOL) products. Some studies revealed that the barriers of DfRem are mostly hidden in the failure modes of EOL product. However, one of the DfRem challenges is how to integrate failure feedback into the product’s design process. To address this problem, this study offers a novel Reverse De ...

Abstract:
... This article addresses the challenges in classifying textual data obtained from open online platforms, which are vulnerable to distortion. Most existing classification methods minimize the overall classification error and may yield an undesirably large Type I error (relevant textual messages are classified as irrelevant), particularly when available data exhibit an asymmetry between relevant and i ...

Abstract:
... There is a long history of area-based interventions targeted at places seen as being particularly disadvantaged. However, the implementation of such approaches is problematic in rural areas on a number of grounds, including the more dispersed patterns of deprivation and a reliance on high-profile indices of multiple deprivation that are arguably less appropriate in rural contexts. While there is a ...

In this study, a simple method was proposed to determine the control time of the pumping station to ensure a stable water level immediately upstream of the pumping station using reverse analysis. The variable discharge ...

Although growing attention has been paid to the role of cities as agents for driving transformative low carbon transition, empirical work in this field suggests that urban carbon reduction responses vary significantly. In order to shed light on why cities perform differently and why radical changes rarely take place at the city level, this study builds on the multilevel governance framework and dr ...

Abstract:
... Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a diverse group of chemicals used in consumer products, which will inevitably end up in waste streams. Landfills are widely recognized secondary point sources of PFASs, but other types of waste management sites have received less attention. Therefore, in a case study presented here we investigated releases of PFASs from temporarily stored waste by de ...

Abstract:
... Phylogenetic trees have permeated biology. However, an understanding of how to interpret phylogenies has lagged behind, notably in publications outside of evolutionary biology. Here I argue that some language commonly used in plant systematics has contributed to the confusion by describing phylogenetic trees using intuitive but misleading terms reminiscent of Aristotle's Scala Naturae. These terms ...

Abstract:
... Manufacturing companies have played an important role in improving standards of living worldwide. However, in a linear setting, they are also linked to unsustainable production and consumption patterns. The concept of circular economy has gained traction in recent years: it aims at eventually severing this link, through keeping resources ‘in the loop’. Through a systematic literature review, this ...
