The electronics and semiconductor industries rely heavily on failure and defect analysis to maximize productivity and minimize expensive downtime. As technology improves, manufactured devices get smaller and the processes used to make them become more intricate. Costly downtime associated with the presence of particulate and chemical contamination becomes more critical to a successful manufactu...

Over the last century, terrestrial yeasts have been widely used in various industries, such as baking, brewing, wine, bioethanol and pharmaceutical protein production. However, only little attention has been given to marine yeasts. Recent research showed that marine yeasts have several unique and promising features over the terrestrial yeasts, for example higher osmosis tolerance, higher specia...

A comparison between the plants of some vital South African industries such as Sugar Industry, the Iron and Steel Industry, the Chemical, Pulp and Paper Industries as well as Power Stations will single out the South African Sugar Factories for one very noticeable item: The absence of supervising and controlling instruments for the manufacturing process and for a number of ancillary processes.' ...

In this paper we report on results from a cross-sectional survey with manufacturers in four typical Chinese industries, i.e., power generating, chemical/petroleum, electrical/electronic and automobile, to evaluate their perceived green supply chain management (GSCM) practices and relate them to closing the supply chain loop. Our findings provide insights into the capabilities of Chinese organiz...

Measuring the dynamic relationship between banking and industries with systemic importance has attracted much attention after the recent financial crisis. This paper examines the dynamic conditional correlations and volatility spillover using three popular multivariate GARCH models in the twelve-year period (from the beginning of 2005 to the beginning of 2016) among the fourteen systemically im...
