In most countries, systems are in place to analyse food products for the potential presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), to enforce labelling requirements and to screen for the potential presence of unauthorised GMOs. With the growing number of GMOs on the world market, a larger diversity of methods is required for informative analyses. In this paper, the specificity of an extended...

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be defined as organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. The technology is often called “modern biotechnology” or “gene technology”, sometimes also “recombinant DNA technology” or “genetic engineering”. It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, also b...

This document provides an opinion of the Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO Panel) of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on genetically modified maize MON 863 and the maize hybrid MON 863 x MON 810. The opinion is based on two questions raised by the Commission related to applications for the placing of the maize on the market by Monsanto under the Novel Food Regulat...

1.1 Purpose The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture is rising, but not without debate. There are many scientists who argue that genetic engineering in agriculture is the best way to solve many issues of poverty, food security, environmental harm, and the need for increasing competitiveness in sales, but others raise ethical issues regarding the health of the people who c...

Providing blood with high quality at the lowest cost and shortest time is main challenge of supply chain management. This paper presents a new model for designing dynamic three level incorporating issues. The proposed intends to locate facilities, determine best strategy allocation by minimizing both maximizing customer satisfaction based on delivery. In order deal consideration real world, int...

Two-sided assembly lines are designed to produce large and complex products, where workers can perform on both sides at the same time. This paper establishes a mathematical model for multi-objective two-sided line balancing problems with additional constraints (MOATALBP). The considers workers’ skill balance of line, aimings maximize efficiency minimize cost smoothness index. A harmony search a...

in today's competitive markets, with orientation companies towards customer satisfaction, customer relationship management (crm) is more complicated. the main question is how to identify profitable and key customers of company. companies can segmenting their customers into different groups based on the specific criteria by identify and analyzing the characteristics of their behavior. these...

With the rapid growth of electric vehicle (EV) ownership, problem increased peak loads on distribution networks due to large-scale EV integration needs be addressed. This study proposes an active network multi-objective optimization scheduling method. It takes into account charging demands EVs and aims minimize operating costs, reduce net load variance, maximize photovoltaic (PV) consumption ra...

Power system restructuring has changed transmission expansion planning (TEP) and caused many complications due to conflicting contradictory objectives. The capacity would significantly affect the revenue of investor-owned renewable energy sources (RESs). Thus, investment decisions on merchant RESs must be considered in TEP studies conducted by operator (TSO). In this regard, paper aims propose ...
