Cutting and packing problems are encountered in many industries, with different industries incorporating different constraints and objectives. The wood-, glassand paper industry are mainly concerned with the cutting of regular figures, whereas in the ship building, textile and leather industry irregular, arbitrary shaped items are to be packed. In this paper two genetic algorithms are described...

Synthetic dyes are complex aromatic compounds used in many industries like paper, printing, textile, food and cosmetics [1]. The major synthetic dyes include azo, triphenylmethane, anthraquinone and metal dyes. They are reported to be carcinogenic and thus their safe release into the environment poses a threat to public health. About 10-15% of the substrate unbound dyes from the industries are ...

Recently, xylanases have expanded their use in many processing industries, such as pulp and paper, food and textile. The production of xylanase by the fungus Penicillium sclerotiorum under submerse cultivation was investigated. Oat spelts xylan and wheat bran were the best inducers of xylanase activity. Optimal xylanase production was obtained in liquid Vogel medium, pH 6.5, at 30oC, under stat...

Focuses on several key industries like Textile, Plastics, and Electronics, this study applies the Vector Autoregressive Moving Average (VARMA) Model on the industrial sales index and industrial stock prices index to observe the dynamic relationship between sales and stock prices. Our empirical result has shown a consistent pattern of relationship between sales and stock prices among all industr...
