... The most common post-processing steps, after the essential cleaning of parts from the leftover powder and cutting the products from the building platforms, include heat treatment, for stress relieving and hardening. The parts can also be subjected to shot-peening to slightly smooth the surfaces, different milling steps (using a computer numerical controlled machine, CNC) and polishing if dimensional requirements are tight and surface quality is required [47,48,49]. ...

... It has been found that an accumulation of proline occurs in plants under different abiotic stress factors, including oxidative stress (Yang et al., 2009), gamma irradiation (Jan et al., 2012), heavy metals (Bao et al., 2011), high light and UV irradiation (Saradhi et al., 1995), waterlogging (Xu et al., 2012), chilling (Luo et al., 2011, high salinity (Sripinyowanich et al., 2013), and deficit water stress (Saeedipour, 2013). Studies investigating resistivity and susceptibility of plants to abiotic stress have demonstrated the fundamental importance of proline in tolerance (Saiema et al., 2012;Saeedipour, 2013). ...

... Sector or domain independence means that the artefact is not specific to a sector/domain [81,82]. Achieving this requirement facilitates capture, transfer, and reuse of domain knowledge from different domains [83]. Neither POCM nor Onto-RPD requires practitioners to be familiar with the sector or domain in which a recruitment practice is applied. ...

... A small amount of research has been done regarding the development of construction techniques and technologies using TRIZ. For instance, the article [19] Mediator. Some examples of each of them are given in the work to show the formwork technology development. ...

... Researchers have explored the accuracy with which UWB can operate on construction jobsites in different settings [3,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Knowledge and operation domains studied for UWB include safety and productivity of construction resources [22][23][24][25][26][27]; tracking and visualization of assets including workforce, equipment, and materials [28][29][30][31][32][33]; safety of critical equipment such as cranes [34,35]; and educational purposes [36]. ...

... Demand is shaped by socioeconomic factors, such as income and education, while supply factors are influenced by infrastructurerelated characteristics (e.g., deployment costs, geography) of specific markets (e.g., Baigorri et al., 2011;Cava-Ferreruela & Alabau-Muñoz, 2006;Coutinho & Oliveira, 2010, pp. 39-58;Dwivedi & Lal, 2007;Gruber et al., 2014;Lee & Brown, 2008;Macedo & de Carvalho, 2013). Important demand-and supply-side factors explored in the Brazilian case are listed in Table 1 below. ...

... Both cross-national statistical studies and case studies from across the globe have shown that access to ICTs have differed mainly on income (Beilock and Dimitrova 2003; Guillén and Suárez 2001; Hargittai 1999; Lee 2008; Norris, 2001) and income inequality (Fuchs 2009), with the vast majority of the population in developing nations excluded from today's digital society. Urbanization (Fuchs 2009; Kim et al. 2003) and the current state of telecommunications infrastructure (Lee 2008) also have been found to be important explanatory variables, especially with respect to broadband Internet diffusion. ...

... According to Allen (2004), the OQPT has been calibrated against the proficiency levels based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF), the Cambridge TESOL Examinations, and other international tests such as TOEFL. Moreover, according to various researchers (Allen, 2004;Jabbari, 2014;Tahriri & Yamini, 2010), the cut-off points considered for proficiency levels are reliable indicators. The scoring criteria are as follows: Advanced ...

... Using micro data from 2001, Akiyoshi & Ono (2008) compared and contrasted the determinants of mobile versus computer-based internet in Japan, findings showed that mobile internet access, as compared to computer access, was determined less by demographics, socioeconomic status, and technological readiness. Through a regression analysis of 106 observations, Lee, et al.,(2007 found that multiple standardization policy, lower level of 1G and 2G penetration, and a higher level of income contribute to the diffusion of 3G mobile. Employing a logistic diffusion model, Lee, et al., (2011) analyzed the factors that influence the diffusion of fixed and mobile broadband, and found that for mobile broadband, multiple standardization policy and population density were the main factors of the initial diffusion of mobile broadband services. ...

... Finally, it was concluded that TRIZ provides a systematic approach for technology research, and construction technologies can be analyzed with TRIZ. Yu W.-D. and Wu C.-M. also state that construction technologies are little comparable to other industries due to lack of innovation tools [20], [21]. They proposed to use a Systematic Technology Innovation Procedure (STIP) for fast innovation in construction technologies. ...
