➢ Farmers should be involved in problem definition, the design of possible solutions, and evaluation of the proposed technological solutions.
This study deals with the design and the evaluation of technological solutions for the electrification of public transport in urban areas.
The purpose of this research was the evaluation of technological features and of the ability of functional LAB strains with desirable sensory characteristics, to produce fermented milk.
Within the Risk Habitat Megacity Projecta[14], which had been accomplished in the years 2007 to 2010 and which had been supported by the 'Initiative and Networking Fund' of the Helmholtz Association[17, 18], the IHSC was chosen as an appropriate tool for the comparison and evaluation of different technological development pathways, and the IHSC was also assigned to the field of management of MSW.
In this paper, we propose a method to support this reengineering process that analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the current process; considers the strategic needs of the organization; provides guidelines for the prescriptive construction of i∗ models; and drives the systematic generation and evaluation of alternative technological and organizational solutions for the new system.
We employ provincial Spanish panel data from 1980 to 2007 to perform non-parametric frontier techniques based on Data Envelopment Analysis and to obtain the Malmquist productivity indexes, thus enabling us to examine the evaluation of the productivity growth via technological changes or efficiency gains.
A preliminary comparative evaluation of technological performances of the corresponding PU coatings is presented, showing that the introduction of biobased monomers generally leads to softer materials but it doesn't affect significantly other physical properties like wettability, adhesion and hydrolytic stability.
This paper describes an experience where the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been adapted for use in the evaluation of methodological and technological innovations determined by the introduction of a new e-learning system in an Italian online university.
We report in detail the co-design, setup and evaluation of a technological intervention for a complex outdoor heritage site: a World War I fortified camp and trenches located in the natural setting of the Italian Alps.
Recently, the EU's FP6 SELCAT project [1] (Safer European Level Crossing Appraisal and Technology) has provided recommendations for actions and evaluation of technological solutions to improve the safety at LCs.
