Summary: Components assembly and disassembly are important tasks in manufacturing and the product service industry. This research compared the efficiency, quality, and usability of job instructions presented through AR display, video display, and printed manuals for computer component tasks. The findings showed that AR display had the best quality but the least efficiency. Overall, the usability scores did not significantly differ among the three instruction types. Participants felt that the AR device required more technical support compared to the printed manual. More male participants found the AR display easier to use than females.

Summary: An improved disassembly hybrid graph model (IDHGM) is proposed in this study for selective disassembly sequence planning to overcome the limitations of the subassembly disassembling process of end-of-life (EoL) mobile phones. The results demonstrate that the disassembly sequence generated by IDHGM takes less time and accurately describes the subassembly disassembling process.

Summary: Protein biomaterials offer precise control over their amino acid sequence through genetic engineering, and in this study, pH-responsive protein vesicles were synthesized using designed elastin-like polypeptides. The properties of the vesicles, including self-assembly, diameter, and disassembly, were tunable by the composition of the amino acids in the building blocks.

Summary: This paper explores the issue of destructive disassembly on a two-sided disassembly line and proposes a probability-based model and a mixed-integer programming model to address this problem. A multi-objective restart genetic flatworm algorithm is also proposed to optimize the disassembly schemes. The effectiveness of the model and the efficiency of the algorithm are verified through practical applications.

Summary: This study characterized the molecular determinants for the vault opening process using vault recombinant reconstitution and structural techniques. The process involves relaxation of the vault waist, expansion of the inner cavity, and conformational change caused by the disengagement of amino-terminal domains. These findings provide insights into a previously uncharacterized step of the vault cycle and will facilitate engineering efforts for cargo delivery using vaults.
