Analyzing the effects of Industry 4.0 technologies and coordination on the sustainability of supply chains

Industry 4.0 technologies, sustainability, and coordination are gaining more importance in today's competitive business environment. Motivated by these trends, our research problem is to analyze the effects of Industry 4.0 technologies and coordination on the sustainability of supply chains. We consider two supply chains with three stages. The first one uses classic methods to manufacture and distribute the products, whereas the second one uses Industry 4.0 technologies. Whether the supply chain invests in Industry 4.0 technologies or not and the investment level affect its economic, environmental, and social sustainability. We develop Nash bargaining based revenue-sharing contracts for coordinating the supply chains. The results indicate that even though a more coordinated classic supply chain can dominate the decentralized Industry 4.0 chain in terms of market demand and profitability, coordination is not enough for the classic supply chain to be considered sustainable. Moreover, although a decentralized Industry 4.0 supply chain has efforts in all three sustainability dimensions, its overall sustainability is not guaranteed based on the thresholds determined by the decision maker. On the other hand, when a supply chain uses the advantages of Industry 4.0 technologies in conjunction with coordination, this chain leads the market in terms of overall sustainability. This result shows the joint importance of Industry 4.0 technologies and coordination on the sustainability of a supply chain. Furthermore, as consumers become more sensitive to buy sustainable products, the supply chains are encouraged to invest in sustainability initiatives and Industry 4.0 technologies more, leading to a more sustainable world. © 2021 Institution of Chemical Engineers2019-20-D2-B09The author would like to thank the editor and two anonymous referees for their valuable comments and suggestions to improve the paper.

Prismatic edge dislocations in graphite

Dislocations are a central concept in materials science, which dictate the plastic deformation and damage evolution in materials. Layered materials such as graphite admit two general types of interlayer dislocations: basal and prismatic dislocations, of which prismatic dislocations have been relatively less studied. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we have examined different prismatic core structures in graphite and evaluated their structure, energetics and mobility. We find close energetic interplay between bonded and “free-standing” core structures in both zigzag and armchair directions, with a reconstructed stable zigzag core identified. We explore grain boundaries and prismatic dislocation pile-up, identifying metastable structures which may be important in energy storage. The role of interlayer stacking in core structure, dislocation glide and climb is also considered in-depth. Our calculations suggest that the prismatic dislocation core is stable up to high temperatures of approximately 1500 K in bulk graphite. Above this temperature, the breaking of bonds in the dislocation core can facilitate climb, grain-boundary motion, and the annealing of damage through prismatic dislocation glide. © 2021 Elsevier LtdANR-20-CE08-0026, TUBITAK-2219; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, EPSRC: EP/P020232/1, EP/R005745/1This work was supported by the United Kingdom EPSRC grant EP/R005745/1 , Mechanisms of Retention and Transport of Fission Products in Virgin and Irradiated Nuclear Graphite.

THE EFFECT OF RETICULOCYTE HEMOGLOBIN CONTENT ON THE DIAGNOSIS OF IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA: A META-ANALYSIS STUDY

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common type of anemia worldwide and has many adverse effects on life quality. This meta-analysis study aims to show that reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) is more effective than routinely used parameters in the diagnosis of IDA. Methods: Comprehensive and systematic research was done using international databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, which contain all articles published on IDA until December 29, 2020. Seventeen articles were included in the meta-analysis. Results: The analyses found the Cohens deffect size (Standardized Mean Difference) values of the parameters. Accordingly, CHr is 2.84 (95% CI 2.36 to 3.31), mean corpus volume (MCV) is 2.46 (95% CI 1.97 to 2.95), ferritin is 2.37 (95% CI 1.63 to 3.11), and transferrin saturation (TSAT) is 3.76 (95% CI 2.14 to 5.38). To diagnose IDA, the sensitivity value of the CHr concentration was found as 83.5% (95% CI 76.1 to 89.8), specificity value to be 91.8% (95% CI 85.5 to 96.4), and mean cut-off value as 28.2 pg. Conclusions: The results of our study reveal the findings that CHr is a better biomarker than MCV and ferritin used in determining IDA, and its efficacy is lower than TSAT. It is very important to use it routinely for the pre-diagnosis of IDA, which is very important for public health. The groups in the study are heterogeneous but contain bias. Therefore, meta analyses of studies with less heterogeneity of CHr are needed

Bis[N,N '-bis(anilino)glioximato]platinum(II) complex: synthesis, characterization and biological activity

N,N '-bis(aniline)glyoxime (H2L, 1) has been prepared from aniline and (E,E)-dichloroglyoxime (DCGO) or (E,E)-dibromoglyoxime (DBGO). The reaction of N,N '-bis(aniline)glyoxime (H2L, 1) with solution of PtCl2 in dimethylsulfoxide produced brown-colored bis(E,E-dioximato)platinum(II) complex {[(E,E)-Pt(HL)(2)]} (1a) featuring N-chelating ligand. The crystal structure of this complex has been identified by X-ray diffraction on a single-crystal. In vitro assay of proliferation, cell death, DNA-damage and cell uptake activities of 1 and 1a were tested in HCC cell lines, SNU-182 and HUH-7. 1a has an anti-proliferative effect in HCC cells, however, 1 did not. Furthermore, the cellular uptake of 1a was relatively high compared to cisplatin cellular platinum levels. Compatible with proliferation and cellular uptake results, treatment with 1a caused DNA-damage and subsequent apoptosis in both HCC cell lines.Research Fund of the Gebze Technical University (BAP) [2018-A108-72]This work was financially supported by Research Fund of the Gebze Technical University (BAP, Project Number: 2018-A108-72)

Opinions of Kitchen Workers on Industrial Kitchen Planning

This study intends to reveal the opinions of kitchen staff on industrial kitchen planning, and survey technique, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used at the stage of data collection. In this direction, descriptive analyses (frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation), Mann-Whitney U test -for the comparison of two groups-, and Kruskal-Wallis test -for the comparison of more than two groups- were applied on the data obtained from 354 kitchen staff working in five-star hotels operating in Istanbul. Statistical significance level was determined as p .05). It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference among the kitchen staff's educational status and industrial kitchen experience and their opinions on industrial kitchen planning (p < .05)

Radiative ?b-??-? decay

Recently, the LHCb Collaboration performed first search for the rare radiative ?b-??-? decay and put an upper limit, B(?b-??-?)&lt;1.3×10-4, on its branching ratio. The measurement agrees well with existing theory prediction using SU(3) flavor symmetry method, but shows a slight tension with the previous prediction from light-cone sum rules. Inspired by this, we investigate this decay as well as other radiative decays of ?b0(-)(?b?-) to ? 0 (-) and ? 0 (-) baryons using the form factors calculated from light-cone QCD sum rules in full theory. we obtain B(?b-??-?)=1.08-0.49+0.63×10-5, which lies below the upper limit set by LHCb and is consistent with flavor-symmetry driven prediction. Our predictions on other channels may be checked in experiment and by other phenomenological approaches. © 2022, The Author(s).Iran's National Elites Foundation, INEF: ISEF/M/400150K.
