Antioxidant enzymes are related to the resistance various abiotic stresses including salinity. Barley is relatively tolerant saline stress among crop plants, but little information available on barley antioxidant under salinity stress. We investigated temporal and spatial responses of activities isoform profiles superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), non-specific (POX), glutathione reductase (GR) in seedlings treated with 200 mM NaCl for 0, 1, 2, 5 days,...

Mechanical Turk (MTurk), an online labor market run by Amazon, provides a web platform for conducting behavioral experiments; the site offers immediate and inexpensive access to large subject pool. In this study, we review recent research about using MTurk experiments test validity of in operations management. We recruited subjects from replicate inventory management experiment Bolton Katok ( 2008 ), as well procurement auction Engelbrecht‐Wiggans supply chain contracting Loch Wu )....

Considering our living environments directly affect the quality of daily lives, many believe that environment should only be safeguarded by mighty hands government instead leaving environmental stewardship in profit-making private enterprises. As such, often intervenes with way enterprises conduct business through different forms regulations and incentives. However, efficiency effectiveness such intervention are still unknown unclear at best. Many sceptics think economic growth protection...

A method for stably purifying a functional dye, phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis was developed by hexane extraction process combined with high pressure. This necessary because this dye is known to be very unstable during normal processes. The purification yield of estimated as 10.2%, whose value 3%–5% higher than the case another conventional separation using phosphate buffer. isolated also showed highest purity 0.909 based on absorbance 2.104 at 280 nm and 1.912 620 nm. Two subunits...

This paper formulates an integrated inventory model that allows Stackelberg game policy for optimizing joint total cost of a vendor and buyer system. After receiving the lot, commences inspection process to determine defective items. All items sends during next lot. Due increasing number shipments fixed variable transportation, as well carbon emissions, are considered, which makes sustainable forever. To reduce setup vendor, discrete reduction is considered maximization more profit. The...

Abstract Purpose The implementation of the risk management in development new car models can contribute to improvement project performance and success. purpose this paper is provide evidence about whether (PRM) green supply chain (GSCM) are positively related Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 145 managers Malaysian automobile manufacturing industry analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings results found that PRM GSCM had a positive association with...

In recent years, self-injury attempts have accounted for 46.2% of emergency room visits by teenagers and young adults. This study aimed to explore the prevalence non-suicidal (NSSI) among Korean college students, compare mean number NSSI risk factors between those with a history control group no thoughts or experiences self-injury, identify which greater influence on NSSI. The participants consisted 403 students aged 18–29 who were divided into subject (n = 198) comparison 205) Functional...

To determine the overall cost effectiveness of surgical skills training on Robotic Surgical Simulator (RoSS). This study evaluates analysis utilizing RoSS for robot-assisted training, at Roswell Park Center Surgery. Trainees were queried time spent console over a period 1 year, starting from June 2010 to 2011. Time was converted consumed robotic console, resulting in loss OR and revenue. The mechanical durability also determined. 105 trainees 361 h RoSS. duration 73 radical prostatectomy...

Reducing the system cost and achieving significant profit are key factors for every successful business sector. A consignment contract under distribution-free approach may be a fruitful combination to achieve profitable business. This model deals with single-period newsvendor problem policy. The policy is an agreement between any two parties, named as consignor consignee. Under Stackelberg approach, firms act leader follower. Both parties carry some parts of holding instead one. new paying...

With sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) emerging as urgent issues in the logistics service industry, effects of CSR on employee work behavior is receiving increasing attention. This study explores this issue by considering intrinsic extrinsic motive attributions moderating variables between perception organizational commitment citizenship behavior. The results a cross-sectional survey hierarchical regression analyses 241 responses from parcel delivery employees indicate...

As markers for visual sensor networks have become larger, interest in the optimal camera placement problem has continued to increase. The most featured solution is based on binary integer programming (BIP). Due NP-hard characteristic of problem, however, it difficult find a complex, real-world using BIP. Many approximation algorithms been developed solve this problem. In paper, two-phase algorithm proposed as an BIP that can space larger than current studies. This study solves...

Abstract Due to increased competition in business environments, many companies implement Supply Chain Management (SCM), which utilizes advanced information technologies. Since the execution of Process (SCP) requires interaction and sharing among multiple organizations, there have been efforts apply Business (BPM) techniques SCM implementation. Whereas previous research has focused mainly on automated SCP, effective integrated lifecycle management SCP that includes modeling, execution,...

This study is the first investigating effect of supply chain structure and players’ power dynamics on a chain’s R&D market performances. We consider three-stage chain, consisting firm, manufacturer, seller. develop six models based various structures dynamics, reveal important implications by comparing models. performance function structure; an integrated can expect improved performance. The selling price higher when has bargaining power. Market profit performances are in integrated,...

Social enterprise is recognized as an alternative for sustainable development, it balances social aspects with economic prosperity. Evaluating enterprises very important both the themselves and government, since grants from government or institutions highly depend on their performance. While relatively significant attention paid to value that these create, there a lack of interest in assessing operational performance directly linked operation enterprises. Therefore, this research analyzes...

Mechanical Turk (MTurk), an online labor market run by Amazon, provides a platform for conducting behavioral experiments; the site offers immediate and inexpensive access to large global subject pool. In this paper, we review recent research about MTurk test validity of using experiments in operations management. We used subjects from replicate Bolton Katok (2008), Engelbrecht-Wiggans Loch Wu Bolton, Ockenfels Thonemann (2012). Our results are similar originals, but also document some...

The objective of this study is twofold accordingly. First, it aims to explore the measurement items sustainable supplier integrity drivers. Second, purports investigate relationship between drivers and integrity. Furthermore, collected data from manufacturing firms in Malaysia. targeted respondents were procurement managers other decision-makers companies. This examined using a split-half method. First half set was exploratory factor analysis (EFA). assessment, collaboration, codes conduct...

In this work we propose a new Prediction from Expert Demonstration (PED) methodology to provide haptic assistance in robot assisted trocar surgery. Data was collected expert (clinician) demonstrations for the procedure of insertion. We encode set force, torque and penetration trajectories by using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). A generalization these profiles associated parameters are retrieved Regression (GMR). mode devised help novices perform based on proposed PED model. validated surgical...
