Due to the increasing size of the population, society faces several challenges for sustainable and adequate agricultural production, quality, distribution, and food safety in the strategic project portfolio selection (SPPS). The initial adaptation of strategic portfolio management of genetically modified (GM) Agro by-products (Ab-Ps) is a huge challenge in terms of processing the agro food prod...

Taking a food supply chain approach, this paper examines the regulation of food marketing and nutrition labelling as strategies to help combat obesity in China in an era of rapid agro-food industry growth. China is the largest food producer and consumer in the world. Since the early 1980s, the agro-food industry has undergone phenomenal expansion throughout the food supply chain, from agricultu...

Nowadays, carotenoids are valuable molecules in different industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, poultry, food and cosmetics. These pigments not only can act as vitamin A precursors, but also they have coloring and antioxidant properties, which have attracted the attention of the industries and researchers. The carotenoid production through chemical synthesis or extraction from plants is ...

Residual operations are introduced in many video compression algorithms to exploit temporal redundancy in video sequences. One of the most effective and computationally simple algorithms is 3D-DWT-SPIHT algorithm. Nevertheless, it only utilizes intra-GOF temporal redundancy. In order to eliminate inter-GOF redundancy, the Simple GOF Residual Operation (SGRO) algorithm was introduced, where resi...
