FABRICATION AND ASSEMBLY
Bogue, R., 2010. The fabrication and assembly of nanoelectronic devices. Assembly Automation,
Volume 30.
This article provides a review of the latest developments in nanoelectronic devices with an
emphasis on the fabrication technologies and materials used. The author focuses of the three
significant fields of nanoelectronics, namely displays, sensors, sensors, and integrated circuits
(ICs) by describing the recent developments and considers the techniques and materials used in
their fabrication. It is clear that nanoelectronic development, specifically experimental ICs are
rapidly progressing by all manner of various nonstandard fabrication processes and materials are
involved. The development of cost-effective and simple techniques in production can enable
high volume production, sustainability, and quality control in manufacturing.
Couth, R. & Trois, C., 2012. Cost effective waste management through composting in Africa. Waste
Management, Volume 32, pp. 2518-2525.
This article provides an improved understanding of the behavior of leaching of incinerated waste
residues in a long-term perspective. Leaching process is assesses through various experiments
reflecting conditions of leaching after initial wash-out of salts that are highly soluble from the
residues. The data from leaching experiment was evaluated by geochemical speciation modelling
and discussed in terms of solubility control. It is noted that leaching of major elements and trace
elements is normally found to be dependent on pH. The results and presented dataset from this
article form a thorough contribution to the evaluation of long-term behavior of leaching of
residues during waste management hence significant in environmental sustainability and social
responsibility of the company.
Dionne, G., 2013. Risk Management: History, Definition, and Critique. Risk Management and
Insurance Review, Volume 16, pp. 147-166.

Fabrication and Assembly 3
This article is about history, definition, and critique of risk management associated with the use
of market insurance to protect companies and individuals from different loses related with
accidents. The use of derivatives as an instruments of risk management started during the 1970s
and rapidly increased during the 1980s as companies increased their management of financial
risk. The regulation of international risk started in the 1980s, and financial firms established
capital calculation formulas models of internal risk management to hedge against risk anticipated
and reduce regulatory capital hence promoting financing and safety in production. Concurrently,
risk management became significant, there was introduction of integrated management and
creation of chief risk officer positions.
Fang, Q., Chen, W., Zhao, A. & Deng, C., 2017. Control system designing for correcting wing–fuselage
assembly deformation of a large aircraft. Assembly Automation, Volume 37, pp. 22-33.
This article aims at proposing a force position method of control to balance aerodynamic
accuracy of shape during designing and deformation of assembly region, hence reducing
assembly stress and correcting assembly deformation. Approach, methodology, and design are
selected based on ellipsoid and screw theory method. The on-dimension deformation and finite
element simulation correction experiments are performed to determine the validity of the
methods. This proposed method provides a solution to solve the problem of deformation during
designing and assembly of aircraft wing, hence improving assembly quality, productivity, and
safety, and reducing assembly stress.
Ingrand, F. & Ghallab, M., 2014. Robotics and artificial intelligence: A perspective on deliberation
functions. AI Communications, Volume 27, pp. 63-80.
This article advocates for a broad understanding of deliberation functions of artificial intelligence
and robotics by presenting a synthetic perspectives on their architectures, goal reasoning,
monitoring, perceiving, acting, and planning. The authors also proposes an overview of

approaches and problems to autonomous deliberate actions in robotics. The dissemination of
more mature methods from robotics and artificial intelligence have resulted in more accessible
platforms of robot with advanced capabilities of sensory motor and suitable understanding of the
scientific issues of the Al-Robotics interaction. The advanced understanding of Al-Robotics
interaction have promoted productivity, quality control, and safety of companies through
automation of manufacturing and assembly processes.
Jankowski, E. & Glotzer, S., 2012. Screening and designing patchy particles for optimized self-assembly
propensity through assembly pathway engineering. Soft Matter, Volume 8, p. 2852.
This article discusses self-assembly as a promise in production of new devices and material due
to its inherent parallelism, enabling different building blocks to organize simultaneously using
preprogrammed interactions. A significant trend in colloid and nanoparticle science is the
particle synthesis with directional interaction an unusual shapes, whose anisotropy enables
unprecedented complexity design and assembly hence promoting productivity, quality control,
and safety in assembly. Nevertheless, patchy particles are more susceptible to long relaxation
times during assembly driven by thermodynamics, and there is no other way of predicting which
particles may be suitable candidate of assembly. A new conceptual approach is demonstrated to
predict this information using intermediate cluster sequence that appear during assembly.
Khamari, J., 2013. Removal Of Copper From Waste Water Using Low Cost Adsorbent. IOSR Journal of
Applied Chemistry, Volume 3, pp. 51-55.
The author examines the financial sustainability of activities of waste management to understand
how and whether choices directed towards contextual factors and environmental factors affects
the costs and revenues of the company waste management. The article shows that separate
collection of waste positively affect the financial performance of the company while territorial
extension of municipalities affects profitability negatively. These findings support the decision of

companies concerning financial and environmental issues not of which are significant for long-
term sustainability. The article can also assist policy makers in detecting suitable tools to support
companies in waste management implementation.
Mtar, K. & Bannour, S., 2017. French companies’ quality assurance and performance in a crisis
context. Human Systems Management, Volume 36, pp. 1-11.
This article aims at critically discussing and reviewing different definitions of the concept of
quality enhancement and quality assurance in companies with presenting critical perceptions of
the literature. The purpose of quality assurance according to the author is to ensure that
manufacturing companies attains the standards required by focusing of accountability. The
author suggest that the quality assurance and quality enhancement concepts should be dealt as
part of the continuum and denoted the need for both as a progressive process of companies.
Quality assurance contributes to increase the understanding of those major concepts in
manufacturing companies hence promoting quality control, social responsibility, and
productivity.
Pedro, J., 2012. Material Customization: Digital Fabrication Workshop at ISCTE/IUL. Nexus Network
Journal, Volume 14, pp. 573-578.
This article describes the workshop which took place during international symposium which took
place on 15th to 16th September at the School of Technology and Architecture ISCTE-IUL. The
major objective was to introduce a group of 20 individuals to use the digital fabrication in
architecture in a state where these technologies are not yet completely incorporated in curricula
and architecture schools. The author notes that the role of designers, engineers, and architects
should be reconfigured and reshaped to fit into the current models of creation and production in
companies so as to promote production cost, productivity, and sustainability in manufacturing.
