their activities (tasks and errors) in a list form. I. INTRODUCTION Direct training in the industrial sector, i.e. experimentations and learning in situ, particularly at high-risk sites (SEVESO sites), is not feasible for many obvious reasons, especially safety. Virtual environments for learning are increasingly seen as promising alternatives to train learners safely without facing or producing...

The influence of the industrial sector is a longstanding assumption in entrepreneurship studies, yet the mechanisms through which the industrial sector shapes entrepreneurial phenomena and the processes through which entrepreneurial actors interact with sectors to prospect, develop and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities remain largely under-theorized and little understood. We critically re-e...

Xylitol is a polyalcohol of five carbon atoms which is widely used in the food and chemical industry. Its interest is due to the sweetening power similar to that of sucrose. However, it has been shown that the use of xylitol as a sweetener is better due to its anticariogenecity, tooth rehardening and remineralization properties. It is suitable as sugar substitute for diabetics, and it limits th...

Large amount of wastes is generated every year from the industrial processing of agricultural raw materials. Most of these wastes are used as animal feed or burned as alternative for elimination. However, such wastes usually have a composition rich in sugars, minerals and proteins, and therefore, they should not be considered “wastes” but raw materials for other industrial processes. The presen...

The energy sector holds the key in accelerating the economic growth of India. To achieve Economic Growth, we need to and have to use more and more energy to increase the pace of development. On the consumption front, the industrial sector in India is a major energy user accounting for about 52 percent of commercial energy consumption. Electrical energy and thermal energy constitutes the major o...

Through the European controversy over agricultural biotechnology, genetically modified (GM) crops have been evaluated for an increasingly wide range of potential effects. As the experimental phase has been extended into commercial practices, the terms for product approval have become more negotiable and contentious. To analyse the regulatory conflicts, this paper links three theoretical perspec...

Purpose – The viticulture sector represents a conspicuous part of the Catalan agricultural and agro food sector. While wine production in Catalonia has been increasing markedly over the first half of the 2000s, prices that grape producers receive have steadily declined threatening their standard of living. This has raised social and political concerns and calls for a better understanding of its...
