TL;DR: In 1996, 210 million tons of municipal solid waste was generated in the United States and only 6% of this waste was recovered for recycling, 36 million tons was combusted primarily for energy recovery, and the rest (I 10 million tons) of the waste was landfilled.
Abstract: In 1996,210 million tons of municipal solid waste was generated in the United States. Fifty-seven million tons of this waste was recovered for recycling, 36 million tons was combusted primarily for energy recovery, and the rest (I 10 million tons) of the waste was landfilled. In 1996, plastics, rubbers, and textiles accounted for 20% by weight and 41% by volume of the total municipal solid waste. Six percent (2 million tons) of plastics, rubbers, and textiles were recovered for recycling in 1996.

TL;DR: A model for knowledge management and collaboration in engineering change processes is described and based on the model, a prototype system is built that demonstrates the model’s strengths and developed domain ontologies from the case to facilitate knowledge sharing in the design process.
Abstract: The development of complex products, such as automobiles, involves engineering changes that frequently require redesigning or altering the products. Although it has been found that efficient management of knowledge and collaboration in engineering changes is crucial for the success of new product development, extant systems for engineering changes focus mainly on storing documents related to the engineering changes or simply automating the approval processes, while the knowledge that is generated from collaboration and decision-making processes may not be captured and managed easily. This consequently limits the use of the systems by the participants in engineering change processes. This paper describes a model for knowledge management and collaboration in engineering change processes, and based on the model, builds a prototype system that demonstrates the model's strengths. We studied a major Korean automobile company to analyze the automobile industry's unique requirements regarding engineering changes. We also developed domain ontologies from the case to facilitate knowledge sharing in the design process. For achieving efficient retrieval and reuse of past engineering changes, we used a case-based reasoning (CBR) with a concept-based similarity measure.

TL;DR: A submitted manuscript is the author's version of the article upon submission and before peer-review as mentioned in this paper, and the final published version features the final layout of the paper including the volume, issue and page numbers.
Abstract: • A submitted manuscript is the author's version of the article upon submission and before peer-review. There can be important differences between the submitted version and the official published version of record. People interested in the research are advised to contact the author for the final version of the publication, or visit the DOI to the publisher's website. • The final author version and the galley proof are versions of the publication after peer review. • The final published version features the final layout of the paper including the volume, issue and page numbers.
