microwave freeze drying of sea cucumber stichopus japonicus
Journal of Food Engineering, 2010Co-Authors: Xu Duan, Min Zhang, Arun S Mujumdar, Shaojin WangAbstract:Freeze drying (FD) yields the best Quality of dried sea cucumber but at the cost of long drying time and also the overall cost. Air drying (AD) gives an unacceptably poor Quality Product. To achieve faster drying along with a High Quality Product a microwave freeze drying (MFD) technique was developed to dry sea cucumbers. The relationship between corona discharge and microwave power at various pressures and initial moisture content conditions was studied to avoid the possibility of corona discharge during MFD. According to the drying characteristics of MFD, a control strategy for the MFD process was also developed. MFD reduced the drying time by about half of conventional FD process and provided a similar good Product Quality.

total Quality management in the construction process
International Journal of Project Management, 1997Co-Authors: David Arditi, Murat H GunaydinAbstract:Abstract There is great potential for Quality improvement in the construction process. A study of the literature and of surveys conducted in the USA indicated that management commitment to Quality and to continuous Quality improvement is very important; construction industry professionals are well aware of the importance of Quality training; partnering agreements among the parties in the construction process constitute an important step in securing a High Quality Product; a feedback loop could upgrade the original Quality standards used in the industry; the clarity of project scope and requirements as well as of drawings and specifications is a prerequisite for High process Quality.

Fuzzy dual experience-based design evaluation model for integrating engineering design into customer responses
International Journal on Interactive Design and Manufacturing (IJIDeM), 2016Co-Authors: Rui-yang ChenAbstract:Experience-based design is a recently emerging method used to capture the emotional content of customer experiences. Both the engineer’s experiences and customer’s experiences for dual experiences are important in delivering High Quality user-centred Product design. To assess dual experiential design optimization, fuzzy decision tree and fuzzy cognitive map are integrated in engineering design perspectives. This study aims at optimizing complex interactions and experiential design system with imprecise relationships while quantifying the performance impact of engineering design efficiency on customer satisfaction. The experiment is conducted by utilizing sensitivity analysis of the three degrees of fuzzy membership function using a Product mix-experience problem. The evaluation results show that this dual experience-based design approach can help R&D design, deliver High Quality Product development experiences and co-create value with customers to yield a High performance engineering design.

strategic information disclosure the case of multi attribute Products with heterogeneous consumers
Economic Inquiry, 2013Co-Authors: Joseph V Hotz, Mo XiaoAbstract:We examine the incentives for firms to voluntarily disclose otherwise private information about Quality attributes of differentiated Products. In particular, we focus on the case of differentiated Products with multiple attributes and consumers that are heterogeneous in their preferences over these attributes. We show that there exist certain configurations of consumer preferences under which a firm producing a High-Quality Product, even with zero costs of disclosure, may choose not to reveal the Quality of its Product. This failure of firms to voluntarily disclose the Quality of their Products will arise when providing consumers with more information results in more elastic demands for these Products, which, in turn, triggers more intensive price competition and leads to lower prices and profits for all firms. As a result, the equilibrium in which disclosure is voluntary may diverge from that in which disclosure is mandatory.
