Sustainable development as a chain reaction

Development of a Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction for Differential Diagnosis of Canary Pox Virus

Background and Aims: A multiplex transcription-polymerase chain reaction (m-PCR) was developed for direct detection and discrimination between canarypox virus (CPV) and other avian poxvirus (APV). Materials and Methods: Three compatible primer sets were designed for m-PCR amplification of different loci fpv126, fpv140, and fpv167 located at highly conserved APV genes. Results: Results showed th...

A stakeholder view on sustainable food and agribusiness chain development

For many companies in the Dutch food industry and the agribusiness, it is not only necessary to limit their pollution by means of end-of pipe innovation, but also to bring structural changes to enhance sustainable business development. Major changes in the environmental management system (EMS) ask for a reorientation in the relationships with key influential groups in the (task) environment (st...

Development of a Non-Radial Network Model to Evaluate the Performance of a Multi-Stage Sustainable Supply Chain

 Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to present a new model of non-radial data envelopment analysis that is able to evaluate the systems one of these complete networks is supply chain of cement industry. In this paper, using a non-radial model in data envelopment analysis, a model with a network structure that can assess the sustainable supply chain of strategic industries is evaluated....

Development Application of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an in vitro technique to synthesize large quantities of a given DNA molecule that separates the DNA into two complementary strands, uses a peltier heat pump to quickly heat and cool the DNA and uses the Taq polymerase for the synthesis of DNA. Taq is a bacterium that lives by volcanic sulfer jets at the bottom of the ocean where the temperature is very high. F...
