The use of local building materials in offsite prefabrication for low cost house building in Nigeria
… of local building materials in the production of offsite prefabricated components for low-cost house building in Nigeria through the formal building sector. A theoretical framework on innovation diffusion has been developed to underpin this study. Based on a pragmatic ontological perspective both …

Metaheuristic Optimization for Automatic Arrangement of Power Electronics Components in a Shipboard Electrical Distribution System
… building blocks, which are created and tested offsite for a variety of applications, are currently placed manually during the design process, a method that is time-consuming and suboptimal. To address this challenge, we reduce the placement problem to a 2D bin-packing problem, leveraging a …

Effects of Corn (Zea mays L.) Stover Removal and Leaching on Soil Test and Whole Plant K Levels in Corn and K Fertilization/High-Input Treatments on Soybean Using Site-Specific Management to Increase Soybean (Glycine max) Production in South Dakota
… in some localities while advantageous in others. Offsite K+ movement may occur following precipitation after corn physiological maturity, presumably through leaching off of corn biomass material. Whole corn plant portions were collected and tested for K+ following rainfall event. The portion of K+ …

Cross-Frame Association of Through-Wall Handheld-Radar-Based Detections
… has involved onsite (edge) gathering of data and offsite (non-edge) processing to produce detections, i.e. the experimental platforms have not been productionized nor tested live in applicable environments. Further, many of the proposed architectures rely on the specific motion paths of subjects …

Modularity in design of the MIT Pebble Bed Reactor
… broken down into modules, each of which is built offsite at a "factory", transported to the plant site, and assembled into a working plant using a minimum amount of labor and tooling. The value of this approach is that it improves overall quality, reduces site field work and rework, and speeds the …
