Decarbonisation strategies in industry: going beyond clusters
AbstractAn effective and just industrial transition is necessary both to mitigate climate change and protect jobs, and as a precursor to enable other sectors to decarbonise. Activity is at an early stage and examples of successful sector-wide interventions to decarbonise industry do not yet exist. Governments of industrialised countries are beginning to develop policy and provide funding to support deployment of carbon capture and low-carbon hydrogen infrastructures into high-emitting industrial clusters, but options for sites outside of clusters, denoted here as ‘dispersed sites’, are also required. This paper takes a...

Predictors of musculoskeletal disorders and job satisfaction among office workers of an oil company: A cross-sectional study in Iran
CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that second jobs, smoking, and physical injury histories are three risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders among office workers of the Iranian Oil Company. Thus, it is imperative to identify at-risk office workers and train and encourage them to take preventive actions and employ ergonomic job equipment.PMID:38160384 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230120 (Source: Work)

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 216: Job-Deadline-Guarantee-Based Joint Flow Scheduling and Routing Scheme in Data Center Networks
ing Liu Many emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications deployed on cloud platforms have strict latency requirements or deadline constraints, and thus meeting the deadlines is crucial to ensure the quality of service for users and the revenue for service providers in these delay-stringent IoT applications. Efficient flow scheduling in data center networks (DCNs) plays a major role in reducing the execution time of jobs and has garnered significant attention in recent years. However, only few studies have attempted to combine job-level flow scheduling and routing to guarantee meeting the deadlines of multi-stage job...

Japan tries, again, to stop its universities from sliding down global rankings
Twenty years ago, five universities in Japan were among the world’s top 100, according to an annual compilation by the ShanghaiRanking Consultancy. The University of Tokyo led the contingent in 19th place, with Kyoto University 30th. But by this year, Tokyo had tumbled to 27th and Kyoto to 39th despite repeated efforts to keep the universities globally competitive. The other three schools dropped out of the top 100 entirely. Now, Japan’s government has launched yet another effort to reverse the widely recognized decline. This month, lawmakers approved legislation that requires six top-ranked universities to...
