Lead Levels in a Potters Population and Its Association With the Use of Different Glazes: Cross-Sectional Evaluation of the Approved Pottery Program.

Lead is one of the most harmful toxic metals to humans. In Mexico, though most potters still use a lead-based glazing process, a new lead-free glaze has been introduced to the production of pottery. The Approved Pottery Program (APP) promotes the production of lead-free pottery. As a component of the APP, we aimed to document in this pilot study the blood lead levels (BLLs) of a sample of potters and the association with the type of glaze used. A cross-sectional study was conducted based on information from 46 potters grouped by 26 workshops. We measured general sociodemographic characteristics, capillary BLLs, and the lead levels of the dirt floors of the workshops. The evaluation of associations and comparisons between glaze types was performed based on a regression model clustered by workshop. The median BLL measured was 13.6 μg/dl (IQR: 7.8–20.4 μg/dl), and 70% of the BLLs were greater than 10 μg/dl. Workshop managers presented higher BLLs compared to others working in the same workshop (median of 14.1 μg/dl (IQR: 11.6–25.3 μg/dl) versus 10.1 μg/dl (IQR: 5.2–16.7 μg/dl), respectively). The median BLLs of potters who used lead-free glaze in at least 80% of production were 8.8 μg/dl (95% CI: −17.3 to −0.3 μg/dl) lower than the BLLs of those who used lead-free glaze in less than 30% of production, adjusted by workshop role. Additionally, the lead levels were significantly lower in workshop dirt floors where lead-free glaze was used in at least 80% of the production compared to those that use less than 30% (180 versus 916 mg/kg; p < 0.05). The use of lead-free glaze in the production of pottery was associated with both lower BLLs in potters and lower soil lead levels in the workshop area.

Smart Finder Using IoT System

Practical learning in Electronics requires handling and managing many electronic components, tools, and equipment. A study has been done to improve the time-consuming process to locate these parts in an electronic workshop. As a result, Smart Finder was designed to replace the manual search method.

The experience of teaching introductory programming skills to bioscientists in Brazil.

Computational biology has gained traction as an independent scientific discipline over the last years in South America. However, there is still a growing need for bioscientists, from different backgrounds, with different levels, to acquire programming skills, which could reduce the time from data to insights and bridge communication between life scientists and computer scientists. Python is a programming language extensively used in bioinformatics and data science, which is particularly suitable for beginners. Here, we describe the conception, organization, and implementation of the Brazilian Python Workshop for Biological Data. This workshop has been organized by graduate and undergraduate students and supported, mostly in administrative matters, by experienced faculty members since 2017. The workshop was conceived for teaching bioscientists, mainly students in Brazil, on how to program in a biological context. The goal of this article was to share our experience with the 2020 edition of the workshop in its virtual format due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to compare and contrast this year’s experience with the previous in-person editions. We described a hands-on and live coding workshop model for teaching introductory Python programming. We also highlighted the adaptations made from in-person to online format in 2020, the participants’ assessment of learning progression, and general workshop management. Lastly, we provided a summary and reflections from our personal experiences from the workshops of the last 4 years. Our takeaways included the benefits of the learning from learners’ feedback (LLF) that allowed us to improve the workshop in real time, in the short, and likely in the long term. We concluded that the Brazilian Python Workshop for Biological Data is a highly effective workshop model for teaching a programming language that allows bioscientists to go beyond an initial exploration of programming skills for data analysis in the medium to long term.

Machine Tools’ Running State Monitoring in the Learning Factory—Based on Machine Learning Method and Vibration Data

Acquisition of machine tools’ running state data plays an important role in the process of workshop management and has great potential in the improvement of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Therefore, it is necessary to identify and monitor the running state of machine tools. Machine learning, as a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, can use readily available data to derive appropriate models and use them to make judgments about new situations, which means that AI technology is also becoming increasingly important in manufacturing. The Learning Factory provides a way for students and researchers to learn and research AI and condition monitoring by simulating an actual industrial environment. Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (AMTC) Learning Factory at Tongji University (Shanghai, China) has designed an open and scalable training course on AI technology, including teaching and practice. A method based on machine learning technology is also put forward to monitor the running state of machine tools using vibration data. The Maximum Information Coefficient (MIC) algorithm is used to remove the relevant items from the original feature parameters and reduce the dimensionality to get the feature matrix; the classification model Random Forest is used to complete the classification mapping between the feature matrix and the target matrix to achieve the purpose of indirectly monitoring the machine tools’ running state. The Result could serve as a reference for other Learning Factory AI implementations. This article introduces the method of machine tools’ state monitoring and the design of the training course in detail.

Event-driven tool condition monitoring methodology considering tool life prediction based on industrial internet

Tool condition monitoring (TCM) and remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is of great practical significance for any machining process to ensure machining quality and reduce the machine tool downtime. At the standpoint of workshop management, the current TCM has two drawbacks. (i) Continuously acquiring data without distinguishing the working states of the machine tool and the machining tasks will inevitably bring a large volume of unwanted signals, making difficulty for tool RUL prediction. (ii) The tool condition is independent of machining task, thus cannot provide further decision-making support for workshop scheduling and machining parameters optimization. Therefore, it is an important issue to consider various random events under the right machining tasks to trigger “monitoring” and RUL prediction just in time. This paper proposes an event-driven tool condition monitoring (EDTCM) methodology. The structure of EDTCM is designed based on the architecture of the Industrial Internet. Multi-source events are collected under the architecture, including MES events, machine tool events based on the OPC-UA (OPC Unified Architecture) standard, smart mobile terminal events, etc. The event-driven mode is designed to process these events such that the “monitoring” is triggered just in time. Then the Tool RUL is predicted online with the monitored sensor data based on the Bayesian method. A prototype system of EDTCM is developed and a case study is implemented to verify the feasibility of the proposed methodology. Our work promotes that the theories of TCM and tool RUL prediction deeply integrate with the real industrial practical applications.

Hospital de Venecia - Feria de Valencia: pas de deux (1965-2002)

&lt;p&gt;La Feria de Valencia de Guillermo Jullian de la Fuente, sigue a partir de 1967 un camino paralelo al desarrollo del proyecto para el Hospital de Venecia de Le Corbusier. Su construcción materializó, a gran escala, inquietudes arquitectónicas ensayadas por el Maestro en el proyecto para Venecia, que sus últimos colaboradores llevaron a cabo tras su muerte. Ambas obras podemos entenderlas como el trabajo de un taller de arquitectura, en el que bajo la inspiración de Le Corbusier, se cuenta con la aportación creativa de sus colaboradores: el propio Jullian como “jefe de taller” pero también José Oubrerie, Roggio Andréini y otro grupo de arquitectos, quienes deciden continuar los trabajos pendientes del atelier de la rue de Sèvres en el pequeño local de la rue Daguerre, el “Atelier Jullian”. Todos ellos son bastante desconocidos en España, y esto contribuyó, a que la única obra realizada en nuestro país por parte de los herederos del taller de Le Corbusier: la Feria de Valencia de 1967, haya prácticamente desaparecido. Este artículo pretende poner en valor aquella arquitectura y reivindicar su importancia.&lt;/p&gt;

Occupational exposure of lead and cadmium on adolescent and adult workers of battery recycling and welding workshops: Adverse impact on health

The occupational exposure of toxic metals is an important concern, because of its potential accumulation in living organisms, leading to long term toxic effects. The occupational and environmental contacts of toxic metals, cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) have been evaluated by determination of them in biological samples (blood and scalp hair) of adolescent and adults, workers of battery recycling and welding workshops. The age matched adolescent and adult residing in nonindustrial areas were also selected, termed as referent/control subjects. The blood and scalp hair samples of workers and controls were analyzed for Cd and Pb using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry previously decomposed the matrices using acid mixture. The biochemical parameters of workers of both age groups were also evaluated. The average concentrations of Cd and Pb in blood and scalp hair samples of adolescent workers were three fold higher as compared with control subjects. The drinking water in containers of both workshops contained Pb and Cd in two to four and five to thirteen folds, respectively, higher than recommended permissible limits of WHO. The significant correlations between the blood lead levels and hemoglobin (%) in adolescent (r = −0.78). The positive correlation was observed among incidence of blood pressure with Pb and Cd concentrations in biological samples of workers (adults) (r = 0.65 to 0.83). These findings suggest that occupational exposure of toxic metals might be created adverse impacts on workers due to ill management of workshops.
