  • H17. Business – Light Industry Zone H17.1
    H17 Business – Light Industry Zone H17. Business – Light Industry Zone H17.1. Zone description The Business – Light Industry Zone anticipates industrial activities that do not generate objectionable odour, dust or noise. This includes manufacturing, production, logistics, storage, transport and distribution activities. The anticipated level of amenity is lower than the centres zones, Business – General Business Zone and Business – Mixed Use Zone. Due to the industrial nature of the zone, activities sensitive to air discharges are generally not provided for. The air quality of the zone is managed by the air quality provisions in E14 Air quality H17.2. Objectives (1) Light industrial activities locate and function efficiently within the zone. (2) The establishment of activities that may compromise the efficiency and functionality of the zone for light industrial activities is avoided. (3) Adverse effects on amenity values and the natural environment, both within the zone and on adjacent areas, are managed. (4) Development avoids, remedies or mitigates adverse effects on the amenity of adjacent public open spaces and residential zones. H17.3. Policies (1) Enable light industrial activities to locate in the zone. (2) Avoid reverse sensitivity effects from activities that may constrain the establishment and operation of light industrial activities. (3) Avoid activities that do not support the primary function of the zone. (4) Require development adjacent to open space zones, residential zones and special purpose zones to manage adverse amenity effects on those zones. (5) In identified locations enable greater building height than the standard zone height, having regard to whether the greater height: (a) is an efficient use of land; and (b) can be accommodated without significant adverse effects on adjacent residential zones; considering the size and depth of the area.

  • Soviet Utilization of Food: Focus on Meat and Dairy Processing
    SOVIET UTILIZATION OF FOOD: FOCUS ON MEAT AND DAIRY PROCESSING Kenneth Gray U.S. Department of Agriculture Data for this study were produced by the Soviet Interview Project. This project was supported by Contract No. 701 from the National Council for Soviet and East European Research to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, James R. Millar, Principal Investigator. The analysis and interpretations in this study are those of the author, not necessarily of the sponsors. This report is based upon research which was supported by the National Council for Soviet and East European Research with funds provided by the U.S. Departments of State and Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, which, however, are not responsible for the contents or findings. Copyright © Soviet Interview Project Soviet Utilization of Food: Focus on Meat and Dairy Processing1 The Soviet Union is the world's largest producer of cow's milk, but only 60% of the protein in this milk is consumed directly by humans. The fraction that is lost is equivalent to 65% of the value of the total protein in all meats of all types that Russians consume. The comparable fraction of protein in US-produced milk that is consumed by humans is over 90%. Also, although the USSR is obviously a great milk-producing nation, it converts only about 7% of its milk to hard, whole-milk cheese. The comparable figure for the European Economic Community (EEC) is 24%. This paper is about the Soviet Union's current desire to extend processing and increase the utilization, or final usability, of food production for its citizens.

Faced with uncertainty in society, including economic crisis and risk, the ability to reduce the stress and increase the security of economic life should be considered. World cities, deeply impacted by globalization and urbanization, deserve more attention with respect to the economic dimension of sustainable development. This study explored the role of manufacturing in the sustainable economic development of world cities, based on research in Guangzhou, China. This paper applies the grounded theory method, whereas data collection was performed through in-depth semi-structured interviews and field observations. This research found industrial interactions between manufacturing and a variety of relevant advanced producer services facilitate industrial upgrading and diversity, which exert positive effects on the city’s economic dimension of sustainable development. Keywords: manufacturing; sustainable economic development; grounded theory method 1. Introduction Sustainability has attracted an unprecedented upsurge in interest with respect to human development. The United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) constructed a sustainability indicator framework with 15 goals and about 140 indicators which covered economic, social, environmental and institutional aspects of sustainable development in 2001 and changed to focus on three aspects on economic, social and environmental dimensions with 17 goals in 2016 [1,2].

LTD, Xiaogan 432100, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-27-59750482 Received: 4 November 2019; Accepted: 6 December 2019; Published: 11 December 2019 Abstract: Curvature effects are typically present in the process of additive manufacturing (AM), particularly for wire arc additive manufacturing. In this paper, stainless-steel wire was adopted to deposit thin-walled samples with different curvatures. Optical microscopy,SEM, EDS and micro-hardness was used to analyse the microstructure, composition and properties of the samples. The result shows that the bottom region of the thin-walled sample had a mainly planar and cellular crystal microstructure. For the middle region, the microstructure revealed mainly dendrites, and the top layer has equiaxed dendrite morphology. The microhardness value of the bottom was greater than that of the middle, and the microhardness value of the middle was greater than that of the top. Moreover, the grain size of the inner part (direct to curvature radius) was larger than that of the outer part, and the micro-hardness value exhibited an increasing tendency from the inner to the outer side.

  • Technological Innovation and Energy Saving in Light Industry
    International Journal of Engineering and Information Systems (IJEAIS) ISSN: 2643-640X Vol. 5 Issue 4, April - 2021, Pages: 208-210 Technological Innovation and Energy Saving In Light Industry Pirmatov Nurali, Mamasoliev Ortiq Faculty of Power engineering Tashkent state technical university Faculty of Power engineering and Radio electronics Jizzakh polytechnic institute Jizzakh city, Uzbekistan [email protected] Abstract — This article provides analytical information on energy saving measures in the light industry and textile industry in Uzbekistan. Keywords —light industry, energy consumption, energy resources, fibers and products, enterprises in the light industry. Introduction In 2020, there was an increase in the production of light industry products. The index of textile and clothing production amounted to 107.3%, and the production of leather and footwear - 116.7%. The financial results of the industry, as well as production indicators, have a clear tendency to improve. The total volume of commercial products in 2020 in actual prices for textile and clothing production increased, exceeding the same value of the previous year by 33.8%, in the production of leather and footwear, exceeding the same value of the previous year by 21.3%. The amount of profit for the textile and clothing industry increased 5 times. The level of profitability of production in light industry remains low. In 2020, it was less than 3%, in fact, reflecting the lack of development potential. The price competitiveness of light industry products is low. Light industry products are experiencing fierce competition in the market, which is mainly associated with the pressure of cheap semi-legal or illegal goods imported without paying any duties and taxes.

  • ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY: SECONDARY & TERTIARY SECTORS 14 AUGUST 2014 Lesson Description
    ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY: SECONDARY & TERTIARY SECTORS 14 AUGUST 2014 Lesson Description In this lesson we: Identify secondary and tertiary sectors to the South African economy Discuss the contribution of secondary and tertiary sectors to the economy Examine different types of industries Discuss factors influencing industrial development in South Africa Explore South Africa’s industrial regions Summary Classification of Industry Secondary industry Secondary industries are those that take the raw materials produced by the primary sector and process them into manufactured goods and products. Examples of secondary industries include heavy manufacturing, light manufacturing, food processing, oil refining and energy production. Tertiary industry The tertiary sector is also called the service sector and involves the selling of services and skills. They can also involve selling goods and products from primary and secondary industries. Examples of tertiary employment include the health service, transportation, education, entertainment, tourism, finance, sales and retail. Quaternary industry The quaternary sector consists of those industries providing information services, such as computing, ICT (information and communication technologies), consultancy (offering advice to businesses) and R&D (research, particularly in scientific fields). Secondary and Tertiary Sectors to the Economy Different countries have different employment structures. The employment structure of a given country can tell you quite a lot about its economy. In the richest countries, for example, there will usually be more people working in the tertiary sector than in the primary and secondary sectors. In the poorest countries, there tend to be more people working in the primary sector than in either the secondary or tertiary sectors. In South Africa the primary sector has traditionally been the largest sector but in the last 30 years the secondary and tertiary sectors have increased.

  • Repositioning Declining Shopping Centers Executive Summary
    Repositioning Declining Shopping Centers Executive Summary October 2020 How Retail is Changing As stores close, what becomes of the spaces? How do shopping centers adapt to evolving consumer trends? The Philadelphia Department of Planning and Development composed a report titled Repositioning Declining Shopping Centers in Philadelphia. This report analyzes shopping and strip centers in Philadelphia and trends in the commercial market. It also takes examples from case studies around the country. The report recommends ways these centers can evolve to meet 21st century consumer needs. Closures of National Chains Major chains that were once household names have closed stores nationwide. Vacant big-boxes send ripple effects throughout entire shopping centers. Shopping center managers lose revenue when stores remain vacant. This makes it more challenging for shopping center owners to maintain and improve their properties. The Rise in E-Commerce E-commerce has grown from nine percent of the $5.1 trillion retail market in 2017 to an anticipated 17 percent by 2022. Flexible return policies, in-app purchasing, and two-day delivery have made online shopping more convenient. As shopping online gets easier and more prevalent, trips to the store decline. Experiential Retail Retail stores have to provide more than inventory to compete with e-commerce. They are rethinking their store space to focus on the customer experience. Some examples of “retailtainment” are apparel stores where stylists help pick out your ensemble or grocery and cookware stores teaching cooking classes. Immigrant-Owned Businesses Some shopping centers are sustained by immigrants and first-generation Americans. These residents are shopping at and opening stores selling products geared towards people of specific nationalities and ethnic backgrounds.
