AI chatbots (AICs) have the potential to increase sustainability of a manufacturing supply chain (SC) through sales engagement and customer accomplish various activities related logistics SC in real time. Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has opened up several opportunities with internet-based technologies, along challenges for small medium enterprises (SMEs). SMEs are beginning adopt such technologies their...

Abstract The study investigates the relationship between information and communication-enabled supply chain integration (SCI) sustainable performance (SSCP). Moreover, to best of our knowledge, there is no empirical evidence on impact blockchain technologies (BT) SSCP. Therefore, primary aim this assess BT More specifically, was conducted examine direct influence SCI SSCP interactive effect Bas...

The advent of the novel coronavirus, also called COVID-19, caused widespread disruptions worldwide. This unprecedented health crisis led to major in supply chain networks; therefore, innovative strategies and capabilities have potential alleviate its impacts. Considering this situation, study examined how COVID-19 impacted management innovation, information processing capability, business model...

PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analyses were carried out on the 1.6-kb groEL gene from 41 strains of 10 different Salmonella serovars. Three HaeIII RFLP profiles were recognized, but no discrimination between the serovars could be achieved by this technique. However, PCR-SSCP analysis of the groEL genes of vario...

Recent studies have shown that point mutations in the dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) gene of human-derived Pneumocystis carinii are related to exposure to sulfa drugs and possibly represent the emergence of sulfa resistance. We developed a simple single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method to permit rapid detection of these mutations. With plasmid constructs, SSCP was able to detect ...

Background: Cellular tolerance to heat stress is mediated by shock proteins (HSPs). The HSPs act as molecular chaperones and are transcribed in response stress. Among different families of these proteins, HSP70 considered be related the development temperature tolerance. Unraveling polymorphism protein genes could a step towards identification genetic markers for selecting heat-tolerant cattle....

Toxin-producing Escherichia coli expressing F18 fimbriae colonizes the small intestines of weaned pigs and causes diarrhea, edema disease, or both. The F18 family is composed of two antigenic variants, F18ab and F18ac. Because many strains do not express F18 fimbriae in vitro, identification and differentiation of these two variants are difficult. Single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP...

The aim of the study was to develop a reliable and cost-effective method for detection nonsense mutation in APAF1 gene causing lethal effect called HH1 (Holstein Haplotype1) evaluate its prevalence sample Polish Holstein-Friesian bulls. One hundred seventy eight bulls born between 1996 2017 were included analysis. They kept four artificial insemination centers have pedigree known carrier HH1. A...

Abstract Background Stigma associated with mental disorders is rooted among many pharmacists, and represents a major barrier to patient support in community-based psychiatry. We developed an assessment scale that specifically designed assess the level of stigma pharmacists may have toward schizophrenia, then examined effects reducing educational program focuses on communication patients diagnos...

This study was conducted to assess the possible association between polymorphisms of transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene and obese Iraqi adults. DNA obtained from 158 subjects 142 controls. Two specific PCR fragments were designed incorporate two highly frequent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)s within TCF7L2, rs11196208 rs7908486. Both amplified loci genotyped by PCR-single-strand ...
