Connecting Industry 4.0, Servitisation and Sustainability: Territorial Implications for Global Value Chains

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globalisation has deepened the integration of international production within global value chains (GVCs), where the various stages of the manufacturing process are dispersed across countries. In today's volatile business environment, characterised by rapid technological advances (Industry 4.0) and evolving consumer preferences towards use ...

Automatic Brix Measurement for Watermelon Breeding

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Sweetness or sugar content, represented by soluble solids contents (SSC), is a vital quality trait in watermelon breeding which can be assessed by the refractive index method. However, sampling watermelon juice out of the pulp is a process that is both labor-intensive and error-prone.

Quantitative Trait Loci mapping for sugar-related traits in sweet sorghum based on high-density SNP markers : P0187 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Sweet sorghum, a C4 tropical grass, is becoming an important bioenergy crop. Characterizing quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling sugar content in its stem can lead to the identification of target regions for molecular breeding programs.

Slip versus dilation tendency parameter space as a tool for prospecting structurally controlled geothermal systems in greenfield: insights from the greater Ruhr region

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating

The influence of biodegradable mulches on the yielding of autumn raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.)

open access: yesFolia Horticulturae, 2015
A three-year experiment was set up to assess the effect of three mulch types on the growth and yield of ‘Polka’ autumn fruiting raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.). The experimental arrangement comprised four combinations of two parallel blocks, one of which was

Phenolic Profiles, Antioxidant Properties and Predicted Glycaemic Index of Bread Sweetened With Date Syrup in Comparison With Granulated Sugar

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Date syrup are used as sweetener in bread. Bread with date syrup had superior phenolic composition, better antioxidant properties and carbohydrate hydrolysing enzymes while bread with granulated sugar had higher predicted glyceamic index. The study concluded that date syrup could be the next though‐out ingredient for dual purpose in bread. ABSTRACT The

Edible Antifungal Coatings Based on Litchi Chinensis Seed Starch Enriched With Pericarp Procyanidins for the Postharvest Preservation of Strawberries

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Lychee starch coatings enriched with procyanidins showed strong antifungal activity and effectively preserved strawberry quality postharvest, reducing weight loss, decay, and senescence. This highlights their potential as a sustainable natural alternative for shelf‐life extension and fungal control in fresh produce.
