  2. 1. Kaikaku in production toward creating unique production systems

    Author : Yuji Yamamoto; Monica Bellgran; Mats Johansson; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

    Abstract : In the business environment characterized by the severe global competition and the fast-paced changes, production functions of manufacturing companies must have a capacity of undertaking not only incremental improvement, Kaizen, but also large-scale improvement that is of a radial and innovative nature here called “Kaikaku” (Kaikaku is a Japanese word meaning change or reformation).Moreover, production functions especially those located in high-wage countries must be proficient in radical innovation in production to maintain their competitive advantages.

  4. 2. Kaikaku in production

    Author : Yuji Yamamoto; Mats Jackson; Monica Bellgran; Jan Olhager; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; production system; continous improvement; radical improvement; Japanese industry; Manufacturing engineering and work sciences; Produktion och arbetsvetenskap; industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Economics and Organization;

    Abstract : In today’s fast-changing and dynamic business environment, the pressures on manufacturing companies to compete on the global arena have been intensified. Production is challenged to handle and benefit from ever increasing competitions in terms of cost, delivery capability, and flexibility. READ MORE

  5. 3. Adrenergic signaling in insulin-sensitive tissues

    Author : Daniel L. Yamamoto; Tore Bengtsson; Barbara Cannon; Michael Cawthorne; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Metabolism; Adrenergic; Glucose; Signaling; Skeletal muscle; Animal physiology; Zoofysiologi; zoofysiologi; Zoological physiology;

    Abstract : Glucose metabolism in insulin-sensitive tissues such as skeletal muscle and adipose tissue is tightly regulated by external stimuli. Metabolic changes in these tissues have direct effects on whole body metabolism. Such metabolic changes can be induced or influenced by adrenergic stimulation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Steel Making Hunter-Gatherers in Ancient Arctic Europe

    Author : Carina Bennerhag; Kristina Söderholm; Eva Hjärthner-Holdar; Sara Hagström Yamamoto; Roine Wiklund; Marianne Skandfer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Iron Metallurgy; Archaeometallurgy; Ancient Steel; Arctic Europe; Hunter-Gatherers; Landscape; Climate; Taskscape; Historia; History;

    Abstract : Based on findings made by Norrbotten County Museum around 2010 in the vicinity of Sangis in Arctic Sweden of advanced iron and steel production in a hunter-gatherer setting dated to the pre-Roman Iron Age (c. 200-50 BC), the aim of the present thesis is twofold. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aspects of viscous shocks

    Author : Malin Siklosi; GUnilla Kreiss; Smadar Karni; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Numerical analysis; hyperbolic conservation laws; viscous shocks; modified equation; shock capturing; computer-assisted proofs; Numerisk analys; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of an introduction and five papers concerning different numerical and mathematical aspects of viscous shocks. Hyperbolic conservation laws are used to model wave motion and advect- ive transport in a variety of physical applications. READ MORE
