It is necessary to research on how to manage risks in Chinese chemical industry supply chain effectively. After analyzing supply chain risks and mitigation strategies in Chinese chemical industry supply chain, firstly this paper defines the supply chain risk management problem in Chinese chemical industry. Then this paper develops a stochastic chance-constrained programming model to select opti...

Emerging pandemics threaten global health and economies and are increasing in frequency. Globally coordinated strategies to combat pandemics, similar to current strategies that address climate change, are largely adaptive, in that they attempt to reduce the impact of a pathogen after it has emerged. However, like climate change, mitigation strategies have been developed that include programs to...

Amino acid requirements of sows may change from early to late gestation due to the accelerated growth of products of conception after d 70 of pregnancy. The objective of this study was to determine the Trp requirement, Phe kinetics, and energy expenditure in early (d 35 to 53) and late (d 92 to 111) pregnancy using the indicator amino acid oxidation method and indirect calorimetry. The same 6 s...

The fast growing VLSI industry demands new techniques for configuring the FPGA. When it comes to defence and space application the configuration of the FPGA becomes more crucial. When it is required to configure the FPGA automatically, the need arises of more sophisticated and fast techniques for reconfiguration of FPGA. In the space application, the effect of radiation changes the bit patterns...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be reduced or atmospheric GHGs sequestered to help reduce the future extent of climate change. Options to do this through agriculture have received increasing attention during the last decade. Some see agriculture as a potential low-cost provider of emission reductions in the near future with additional environmental and income distributional cobenefits. Other...

In Sweden, where forests cover more than 60% of the land area, silviculture and the use of forest products by industry and society play crucial roles in the national carbon balance. A scientific challenge is to understand how different forest management and wood use strategies can best contribute to climate change mitigation benefits. This study uses a set of models to analyze the effects of di...

This paper presents case studies of attacks aimed at tactical software defined radios based on a classification with the most common sources of vulnerabilities, classes of attacks, and types of intrusions that military radio sets may suffer. Besides that, we also describe how attack mitigation strategies can impact the development of SDR infrastructures. By using such approach, we identify seve...
