Salicylic acid (SA) is an effective elicitor for enhancing product formation in various agricultural practices. This study examined the diverse responses to physiological metabolites and pathway modifications broad-spectrum resistance-1 (BSR1) of Cajanus cajan after treatment with SA using a metabolomics technique. The significance function at metabolite level was by treating C. concentrations ...

Manufacturing strategy is a plan for moving a company from where it is to where it wants to be. Determining the best manufacturing strategy is not easy because of the wide range of choices and constraints a company faces. Manufacturing strategy frameworks or models are helpful because they identify the objects that comprise manufacturing strategy and organize these objects into a structure that...

A mozzarella cheese factory using an undefined, milk-derived Streptococcus thermophilus starter system was monitored longitudinally for 2 years to determine whether the diversity of the resident bacteriophage population arose from environmental sources or from genetic changes in the resident phage in the factory. The two hypotheses led to different predictions about the genetic diversity of the...

Factory (87) Imagine a manufacturer producing interior design parts --lights, cabinets, tables. The company produces each part in two styles and has a factory for each style: a Traditional Asian Factory (ConcreteFactory1) and a Contemporary European Factory (ConcreteFactory2). Both provides exactly the same part types (e.g. a Door; AbstractProductA), but using completely different methods to ar...

OBJECTIVES Poverty reduction interventions through cash transfers and microcredit have had mixed effects on mental health. In this quasi-experimental study, we evaluate the effect of a living wage intervention on depressive symptoms of apparel factory workers in the Dominican Republic. SETTING Two apparel factories in the Dominican Republic. PARTICIPANTS The final sample consisted of 204 ho...

A Neutrino Factory, sending > 10 20 decay neutrinos per year from a high-energy stored muon beam towards remote detectors, has been suggested as the ultimate tool for precision measurement of the neutrino mixing matrix. Following two rounds of design studies that focused primarily on feasibility, the latest such study has begun the process of cost optimization. New ideas include muon 'phase rot...

To be useful in practice, a factory production schedule must reflect the influence of a large and conflicting set of requirements, objectives and preferences. Human schedulers are typically overburdened by the complexity of this task, and conventional computer-based scheduling systems consider only a small fraction of the relevant knowledge. This article describes research aimed at providing a ...

School education today aims at improving the integration of school and professional life. A popular way to provide first hand experiences to students are guided factory tours. Companies are highly interested in establishing contacts to school classes, but guided tours to factories are subject to constraints on both sides. For schools, they require organizational effort, are not easy to integrat...

I ndonesia has one of the highest ratios of maternal mortality in Southeast Asia (359 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2012), according to the latest Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey. The Indonesian government provides free maternal and child health services, but for many of the twenty-five million female workers who are of reproductive age, these services are not available during their...
