Abstract Background Strengthening primary health care is critical to reducing inequity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. The Audit Best practice for Chronic Disease Extension (ABCDE) project has facilitated the implementation of modern Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) approaches in community centres across Australia. demonstrated improvements centre systems, delivery services patient intermediate outcomes. It also highlighted substantial variation quality care. Through a...
This paper seeks to explore the motivations and preferences of recreational walkers in near-urban areas implications for trail development. A qualitative focus group method was employed order generate open discussion amongst from a range backgrounds levels interest, participation experience, drawing out walk, potential issues relating The research highlighted variety walkers' needs consider when planning trail. They relate different types walking: functional recreational; across spectrum...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify and describe the most recent (or emerging) trends likely have a major impact in shaping future tourism Europe. Design/methodology/approach methodology involved in-depth literature review European Union policies, initiatives programs. Also, semi-structured interviews were conducted with key individuals/organisations, mainly at level, but also including pertinent global national organisations. Moreover, an online survey was circulated wide range...
With the growth in tourism expected to continue over next 20 years (UNWTO, 2011) and increasing pressure on resources, particularly fossil fuels, approaches low carbon will assume gr...
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, governments around world initiated a programme of temporary road-space reallocation measures. These measures helped create more space for social distancing and encouraged an uptake in active travel (including walking cycling). This paper examines impact pandemic on behaviour two contrasting local authorities North England, specifically, deployment introduced. research shows that, overall, there was substantial degree change usual behaviours amongst...
The specification and deployment of enterprise modelling component-based system concepts to facilitate the distributed engineering automotive manufacturing machines is reported in this paper. main areas research article cover (a) design prototype development new forms engine assembly transfer (b) life cycle approaches that improve change capability (c) implementation an environment enables teams achieve (b). concepts, approach have been developed are being formally assessed with reference...
Abstract Bearing in mind that activity requirements of manufacturing enterprises (MEs) can usefully be described as a network dependent processes, the current paper identifies complementary properties state-of-the-art enterprise modelling and simulation techniques. It is observed that, when these techniques are used coherent fashion, they have potential to create semantically rich models process networks computer-executed so replicate and/or predict organizational behaviours. The describes...
Abstract In support of the life-cycle engineering manufacturing enterprises (MEs), there is a need to provide reusable computational representations organisational structures, processes, information, resources, and related cost value flows. Current best process mapping techniques do not suitably capture key time-based attributes ME systems, particularly with respect dynamics associated multi-product work flows through shared resource systems. However, multiple work-flow will likely impact...
Current practice when specifying and developing manufacturing software leads to enterprise systems that are difficult change. With the purpose of improving current a model‐driven, component‐based approach engineering change capable is described. Application supported by number proof‐of‐concept system design construction environments. Each environment organises use modelling tools function formally capture apply results activities carried out members project teams. In this way development...
The development and application of a business process modelling approach to comprehend, formalize, simulate assess particular domain within the automotive industry are described in this paper. Within an ongoing project carried out by Loughborough University, design implementation new generation component-based machine control systems being investigated. As part project, impacts technical aspects on existing practices also examined using enterprise methods tools. has been applied production...
This paper describes how microprocessor-based controls can be used to produce low cost pneumatic servo drives which could find wide application in manufacturing industries. The approach incorporates digital compensation for system non-linearities so that, when positioning loads a ‘point point’ mode, it is possible achieve significant improvement both the static and dynamic performance of drive. For algorithms implemented theoretical foundation presented based on linearized model drives. also...
New modelling constructs are defined to enable human, machine, and IT resource systems be described coherently explicitly as ‘reusable’, ‘change-capable’ ‘components’ of manufacturing enterprises. These components referred ‘dynamic producer units’ or DPUs. DPU characterization is designed facilitate: graphical representation systems; explicit specification implementation description that can computer executed within simulation environments. Also a methodological use the constructs, which...
Abstract The need is described for an architectural framework which unifies the use of open systems integrating infrastructure and a modelling to enable wider-scope CIM be designed, implemented maintained. In addition, industrial case study CIM-BIOSYS reported highlight benefits its use, particularly in terms ability manage support inherent integration processes highly flexible, extendible maintainable manner.
Aspects of the operating characteristics pneumatic systems are given and control methods for servo motors described. Both analytical experimental approaches considered. The results show that digital-controlled air have potential providing an alternative solution to their electric hydraulic motor counterparts. Air motors, through inherent low cost, good power-to-weight ratio intrinsically safe operation, can thus be utilized industrial machines in certain application areas.
