  • Technology and the growth of the manufacturing firm by Steven D. Formaneck

    Technology and the growth of the manufacturing firm

    Steven D. Formaneck

    Using a linked survey datasets in Canadian manufacturing (The Survey of Advanced Technology in Canadian Manufacturing the Annual Survey of Manufactures surveys), complementarities among 28 different Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) are empirically tested as well as substitute qualities, based on the success of the firm. Hypotheses generated from the AMT literature are explored. The main results show evidence against the classic theory that all forms of AMT are complementary. In addition, complementarity of AMT appears to aid in the growth of Canadian firms more so than short-term profit and productivity. Finally, there is evidence to suggest size and industry classification has an effect on AMT complementarity. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Collaborative and distributed intelligent environment merging virtual and physical realities by Maki K. Habib

    Collaborative and distributed intelligent environment merging virtual and physical realities

    Maki K. Habib

    This paper introduces the development of a new collaborative and distributed intelligent environment that supports collaboration among geographically dispersed people including intelligent systems. The collaborative and distributed intelligent environment merges seamlessly mixed realities in terms of physical space, document, people, physical facilities and equipment, virtual environments, collaborative control, distributed teleopreration, decision making, etc. into one shared collaborative space. This approach aims to bridge the gap between reality and virtuality beyond time and physical constraints. Such capabilities have been achieved through the design and implementation of innovative, interactive, shared, 3D multi-user collaborative and distributed intelligent environment (CoDIE). CoDIE represents an integrated approach with embedded systems that offers the capability to administer distributed environment and resources with people accessing the environment remotely and others are collocated with the physical counterpart supported by ambient intelligence techniques. The developed environment can be used as a metaphor for wide range of application domains to integrate distributed resources, supports synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, distributed teleoperation, collaborative control, and to enable people to work beyond time and physical constraints. The talk presents the concept of CoDIE and describes its four-tire architecture and the key features and functionalities associated with its development and implementation. Finally, the paper highlights briefly the development of an educational and training robot center integrated with distributed physical and virtual facilities through the use of CoDIE. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Humanitarian demining mine detection and sensors by Maki K. Habib

    Humanitarian demining mine detection and sensors

    Maki K. Habib

    The objectives of developing landmine detection technology are to achieve a high probability of detection rate while maintaining a low probability of false alarms. However, the probability of a false alarm rate is directly proportional to the time and cost of demining. The quality of mine detection affects the efficiency and safety of this process. Hence, there is a need for efficient, reliable and cost effective humanitarian mine detection technologies that speed up the detection process, increase productivity, maximize detection accuracy and reduce false alarm rate. Such technology should improve the ability to positively discriminate landmines from other buried objects and metallic debris while enhancing safety and protection for deminers. Methods of detecting individual mines vary from simple manual probing, the use of animals (dogs, pigs, rats, etc.), insects (Bees, etc.), biosensors, and genetically modified bacteria, to a variety of electronic technologies. Each mine detection technologies has its own strengths and weaknesses. This paper addresses the problem of landmines, their impact, difficulties, requirements, solutions and priorities as required for humanitarian demining. The paper introduces the available mine detection technologies along with a description of the ongoing research and development efforts in the field. The paper evaluates the available mine clearance technologies in terms of prospects, potential use to improve the speed and safety of humanitarian demining, discuss and identify any barriers to complete the development of new technologies. It also focuses on the features and requirements for having efficient sensors that can facilitate effective mine detection. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Collecting and repatriating Egypt's past: Toward a new nationalism by Salima Ikram

    Collecting and repatriating Egypt's past: Toward a new nationalism

    Salima Ikram

    Egypt has a rich and diverse cultural heritage that spans over 6,000 years. The most well known period is the Pharaonic era that lasted some 3,000 years, and that has mesmerized people thereafter. Indeed, when people think of Egypt, they rarely think of the modern state-they think of Egypt's Pharaonic past in terms of its mirabilia: pyramids and mummies that evoke the exotic and the esoteric. This perception has influenced current attitudes to the cultural remains from this era, objects and monuments that have come to be regarded as the patrimony not only of the modern-day Egyptians but also of the entire world. The same fascination is one reason why Egyptian artifacts are one of, if not the most, popular exhibits in any museum, regardless of whether the museum is in London, Paris, New York, or Berlin. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
