Differential uptake of carbon nanoparticles by plant cells is illustrated. Specifically, the left panel shows accumulation hydrophilic C60(OH)20 between a cell wall and plasma membrane, while right displays aggregation retention C70–NOM assembly in wall.

Logistics interfaces with manufacturing throughout the entire production process need synchronous operations. For achieving integrated organization and operations between logistics, this article introduces concept of shop-floor logistics synchronization four principles, including: 1) synchronization-oriented system; 2) synchronized information sharing; 3) decision making; 4) The marriage principles rendered development an overall framework Industrial Internet Things (IIoT) digital...

Acquiring the real-time spatial–temporal information of manufacturing resources holds promise to enable efficient operation in factory logistics. This article proposes a system architecture using industrial Internet Things and digital twin technologies fulfill traceability visibility with seamless cyber-physical synchronization for finished goods logistics workshop. A long short-term memory network-enabled genetic indoor-tracking algorithm (GITA) is developed locate product trolleys via...

In perishable supply chain logistics, even a small departure from the required storage conditions at any distribution link can compromise quality of transported products, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and other bioproducts, resulting in big losses for businesses involved or threats to public health. To enhance management (QM) consumer confidence, an edge-cloud blockchain Internet Everything (IoE)-enabled QM platform is proposed achieve low delay rapid response sensor data acquisition,...

The binding of plasma fibrinogen with both single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs MWNTs) has been examined. Specifically, our absorbance study indicated that MWNTs were coated multi-layers to render a "hard protein corona," while SWNTs adsorbed thin layers the precipitate out aqueous phase. In addition, static quenching as result energy transfer from fluorescently labeled their nanotube substrates was revealed by Stern-Volmer analysis. When exposed HT-29 cells, could readily...

Disruptive environments, characterised by frequent contingencies, significantly challenge supply chain operations, particularly assembly chains with complex structures and decentralised decision-making. Failure to promptly reconfigure during disruptions may ripple adverse effects through the network, causing substantial losses. Consequently, dynamic reconfiguration of under contingencies warrants attention. However, existing research on this topic is limited, necessitating further...

Freeze-dried fruits of two strawberry cultivars, Sweet Charlie and Carlsbad, blueberry Tifblue Premier were sequentially extracted with hexane, 50% hexane/ethyl acetate, ethyl ethanol, 70% acetone/water at ambient temperature. Each extract was tested separately for in vitro anticancer activity on cervical breast cancer cell lines. Ethanol extracts from all four strongly inhibited CaSki SiHa lines MCF-7 T47-D An unfractionated aqueous raspberry the ethanol significantly mutagenesis by both...

The medicinal herb feverfew [Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Schultz-Bip.] has long been used as a folk remedy for the treatment of migraine and arthritis. Parthenolide, sesquiterpene lactone, is considered to be primary bioactive compound in having anti-migraine, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory properties. In this study we determined, through vitro bioassays, inhibitory activity parthenolide golden extract against two human breast cancer cell lines (Hs605T MCF-7) one cervical line (SiHa). Feverfew...

This paper considers the energy consumption minimization in permutation flow shop (PFS) scheduling problem. The of each machine is decomposed into two parts: useful part which completes operation at current stage and wasted consumed during idle period. objective considered here to minimize total a weighted summation time machine. To solve this new problem, branch-and-bound algorithm developed. Two lower bounds are proposed, an initial upper bound by using variant NEH heuristic applied....

As e-commerce has become more prevalent, the required logistics operations are challenged by greater demand for and higher complexity of order picking in warehouses. While goods-to-person (G2P) systems, such as robotic mobile fulfillment becoming popular, there still challenges G2P including unstable performance human due to fatigue errors, constrained mobility robots. To tackle these challenges, this article presents a new storage system, which we call RubikCell. It leverages strengths...

Plants are proven sources of useful anti-tumor and chemopreventative compounds. Hence, identification phytochemicals in dietary prevention intervention cancer is paramount importance. The initial step the formation damage to genome a somatic cell producing mutation an oncogene or tumor-suppressor gene. Fresh juices organic solvent extracts from fruits strawberry, blueberry, raspberry were evaluated for their ability inhibit production mutations by direct-acting mutagen methyl...

Extracts from the marine algae Cymopolia barbata have previously shown promising pharmacological activity including antifungal, antitumor, antimicrobial, and antimutagenic properties. Even though extracts demonstrated such bioactivity, isolated ingredients responsible for bioactivity remain unspecified. In this study, we describe chemical characterization evaluations of biological prenylated bromohydroquinones (PBQ) C. their cytotoxic chemopreventive potential.The impact PBQs on viability...
