In this work, the effect of vacuum 130 ion-plasma treatment on the wear resistance of the medical screws surface made of VT6 titanium alloy is studied as well as on the mechanical characteristics of the screws in contact with the plate for osteosynthesis.It is shown that the TiN titanium nitride deposition on the screw head increases the surface mi
This paper aims to investigate the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for the successful introduction of Six Sigma in large-scale Turkish construction companies.A survey-based approach is used in order to identify and understand the current quality practices.CSFs and impeding factors are identified and analysed.Involvement and commitment of top manage
This study proposes an effective dynamic OHT routing approach to handle a substantial volume of wafer transport in a modern large semiconductor fabrication plant.The proposed approach aims to overcome challenges faced by previous approaches whose applicability is limited in conditions where the underlying distribution of traffic conditions varies o
We report a reconfigurable optical filter chip based on the Si3N4 waveguide platform.Microwave filtering is realized using a device with optical-to-electrical mapping.The filter chip is based Labeller Accessories on a lattice structure with the dual-ring-coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometers (DR-MZIs) as the basic elements.Both the lattice and ring
