In the three cheese manufactures the initial fermentation is carried out by adding natural whey cultures (NWCs) according to a back-slopping procedure. In this study, NWCs and the corresponding curds from M, GP and PR manufactures were analyzed by culture-independent pyrosequencing of the amplified V1–V3 regions of the 16S rRNA gene, in order to provide insights into the microbiota involved in the curd acidification. Moreover, culture-independent high-throughput sequencing of lacS gene amplicons was carried out to evaluate the biodiversity occurring within the S. thermophilus species. Beta diversity analysis showed a species-based differentiation between GP-PR and M manufactures indicating differences between the preparations. Nevertheless, all the samples shared a naturally-selected core microbiome, that is involved in the curd acidification. Type-level variability within S. thermophilus species was also found and twenty-eight lacS gene sequence types were identified. Although lacS gene did not prove variable enough within S. thermophilus species to be used for quantitative biotype monitoring, the possibility of using non rRNA targets for quantitative biotype identification in food was highlighted.","source":"Semantic Scholar","year":2014,"language":"en","subjects":["Biology","Medicine"],"doi":"10.1371/journal.pone.0089680","url":"https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/541aa7405308278dab8e6b6fee28c1da81040d24","pdf_url":"https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0089680\u0026type=printable","is_open_access":true,"citations":875,"published_at":"","score":84.25},{"id":"ss_6f1a4faa4508c4595e706a137e39bbef5bf5a19e","title":"Effluent from drug manufactures contains extremely high levels of pharmaceuticals.","authors":[{"name":"D.

Cameron"}],"abstract":"This research explores how a new relation of production—the shift from human managers to algorithmic managers on digital platforms—manufactures workplace consent. While most research has argued that the task standardization and surveillance that accompany algorithmic management will give rise to the quintessential “bad job” (Kalleberg, Reskin, and Hudson, 2000; Kalleberg, 2011), I find that, surprisingly, many workers report liking and finding choice while working under algorithmic management. Drawing on a seven-year qualitative study of the largest sector in the gig economy, the ride-hailing industry, I describe how workers navigate being managed by an algorithm. I begin by showing how algorithms segment the work at multiple sites of human–algorithm interactions and how this configuration of the work process allows for more-frequent and narrow choice. I find that workers use two sets of tactics. In engagement tactics, individuals generally follow the algorithmic nudges and do not try to get around the system; in deviance tactics, individuals manipulate their input into the algorithmic management system. While the behaviors associated with these tactics are practical opposites, they both elicit consent, or active, enthusiastic participation by workers to align their efforts with managerial interests, and both contribute to workers seeing themselves as skillful agents. However, this choice-based consent can mask the more-structurally problematic elements of the work, contributing to the growing popularity of what I call the “good bad” job.","source":"Semantic Scholar","year":2024,"language":"en","subjects":null,"doi":"10.1177/00018392241236163","url":"https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/7ef88865eecc6dc193f5c8e6016075ba15c46dbd","pdf_url":"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/00018392241236163","is_open_access":true,"citations":86,"published_at":"","score":70.58},{"id":"ss_b7d1932487ee53a10117827ad84c3b2fc7adc2b8","title":"Occurrence and distribution of pharmaceuticals in wastewater from households, livestock farms, hospitals and pharmaceutical manufactures.","authors":[{"name":"Wonjin Sim"},{"name":"Ji-Woo Lee"},{"name":"Eung-Sun Lee"},{"name":"Sun-kyoung Shin"},{"name":"Seung-Ryul Hwang"},{"name":"Jeong-eun Oh"}],"abstract":"","source":"Semantic Scholar","year":2011,"language":"en","subjects":["Environmental Science","Medicine"],"doi":"10.1016/j.chemosphere.2010.10.026","url":"https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/b7d1932487ee53a10117827ad84c3b2fc7adc2b8","is_open_access":true,"citations":517,"published_at":"","score":70.51},{"id":"doaj_10.1080/17452759.2026.2631285","title":"Achieving high strength in 430 stainless steel by laser powder bed fusion: microstructure-property relationships and strengthening strategies","authors":[{"name":"Junchen Li"},{"name":"Qiushuang Wang"},{"name":"Swee Leong Sing"},{"name":"Congwei Wang"},{"name":"Wei Jiang"},{"name":"Kangming Lu"},{"name":"Junqiang Ren"},{"name":"Hongtao Xue"},{"name":"Xuefeng Lu"},{"name":"Fuling Tang"}],"abstract":"Conventional manufacturing of 430 ferritic stainless steel faces significant challenges, including severe work hardening, rapid tool wear, and limited strengthening via heat treatment. To overcome these limitations, this study employs laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology to fabricate high-density (99.93%) 430 stainless steel samples through systematic process parameter optimisation. The as-built samples exhibit a unique microstructure characterised by columnar ferrite grains with a \u003c100 \u003e  fibre texture along the building direction and a few oxides enriched in aluminium, oxygen, and nitrogen. In terms of mechanical properties, the as-built sample exhibits high yield strength of approximately 747.5 MPa, nearly double that of the conventionally hot rolled counterpart, while maintaining considerable ductility (∼29.2%). This significant strengthening is primarily attributed to the high-density dislocations generated during the LPBF forming process.

The hot-tearing factor was an assistant in the tailoring of crack-free Ti-modified AlCuMg alloys, while the lack-of-fusion factor suggested a volumetric energy density for better printability. This hot-tearing factor could also serve as the supplementary method for evaluating the crack susceptibility of AlCuMg alloys. The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties were also investigated to achieve an optimal processing window for these alloys, which could satisfy the dual requirements of higher mechanical properties and better formability. It was believed that this comprehensive model would facilitate the tailoring of crack-free AlCuMg alloys and the optimisation of processing parameters in a time-efficient manner with high precision.","source":"DOAJ","year":2025,"language":"","subjects":["Science","Manufactures"],"doi":"10.1080/17452759.2024.2441946","url":"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/17452759.2024.2441946","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":69},{"id":"doaj_10.3389/fsrma.2025.1650833","title":"Driving green or driving towards doomsday?

To that end, adoption of low-carbon technologies like electric vehicles (EVs) is critical. This study is a novel examination of the socio-psychological mechanisms shaping intentions to adopt EVs in Assam, a fast-developing region in northeast India, characterized by collectivist cultural norms. While existing research has primarily focused on economic, technical, and volitional factors such as perceived behavioral control, environmental awareness and attitudinal variables, this study examines the combined effect of norm and fear-based drivers of intention to adopt EVs. Utilizing the Norm Activation Model (NAM) and the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), this study identifies subjective norms and perceived vulnerability as the most significant norm-based and fear-based predictor of intention respectively. Structural equation modeling reveals a parallel rather than sequential operation of norm and fear-based constructs, with mediated intention pathways featuring a complex interplay of affect-cognition mechanisms shaping intention. Unlike findings in Western contexts, personal moral norms have less direct impact in shaping intention in a collectivist setting where social validation and group norms weigh higher. Awareness and environmental concern is also found to be ineffective unless it is accompanied with fear cues indicating personal vulnerability and a belief in the possibility of its mitigation. The findings highlight the need for localized, tailored, affect-filled communication strategies over nation-wide financial incentives alone to accelerate EV adoption. The limitations and directions for further research on evolving EV ecosystems are discussed.","source":"DOAJ","year":2025,"language":"","subjects":["Production management.

Although acetone treatment reduces their tensile strength as demonstrated, CuO coating can increase it again which means their tensile strength can be tuned by using the two processes.

Most schools and faculties were forced to switch from traditional to online teaching. Purpose: This research aims to examine the key factors influencing students' intention to use e-learning, as well as predictors of student satisfaction with online teaching during the Covid-19 pandemic. Study design/methodology/approach: The analysis includes 312 students on the territory of the Republic of Serbia who use e-learning. Reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equations modeling are applied in the paper. Findings/conclusions: It is found that course design significantly affects perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and quality of e-learning, and perceived usefulness and quality of e-learning are the main drivers of student satisfaction. Then, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and satisfaction with online teaching are important predictors of the attitude towards the use of e-learning, and attitude is an important driver of the intention to use e-learning. The results of the research and the implications derived from them can be helpful to educational institutions in creating, introducing and implementing e-learning, as well as increasing student satisfaction with online teaching during the pandemic. Limitations/future research: The limitation of the research stems from the selection of the sample (students). In addition, the research was conducted on the territory of Serbia, so the results cannot be generalized. Third, the possible bias of the respondents in giving answers can lead to wrong conclusions. The recommendation for future research is to examine the attitudes of professors who use e-learning, in addition to students. Another recommendation is to do a segment analysis (by gender, year of study) in order to develop specific strategies for each segment. Another suggestion is to compare students' opinions on e-learning and traditional ways of learning.","source":"DOAJ","year":2022,"language":"","subjects":["Production management.

Statistical tools, including SPC tools and quality tools, both basic and new, were used to analyse nonconformities in the spatial-temporal system, i.e. according to the type of nonconformity and according to the examined months. The purpose of using the data analysis tools was to thoroughly analyse the cases of nonconformities of the tested product, obtain information on the structure of these nonconformities in the various terms, and information on the stability and predictability of the numerical structure of nonconformity over time. Potential causes influencing a large percentage of paving stone defects were identified, factors and variables influencing the most frequently occurring nonconformities were determined, and improvement actions were proposed. As a result of the multidimensional and multifaceted analyses of paving stone nonconformities, it was shown that in the structure of nonconformity there were cases that were unusual in terms of the number of occurrences, and the lack of stability in the number of nonconformities in terms of the examined months was proven. Three critical nonconformities of the tested product were identified: side surface defects, vertical edge defects, and scratches and cracks. It was determined that the most important factor causing a large percentage of nonconformity was the time of shaking and vibrating the concrete, which was significantly related to the technical condition of the machines, and the most important reason for a large percentage of paving stone nonconformity was the lack of efficient maintenance. Machine, method, and man turned out to be the most important categories of problem factors and specific remedial actions were proposed. A multidimensional look at the structure of paving stone nonconformity as well as the factor and causes causing them has brought a lot of valuable information for the management staff of the analysed company, thanks to which it is possible to improve the production process and improve the quality of the final product.","source":"DOAJ","year":2022,"language":"","subjects":["Production management.

The VOCs characterizations of the typical food manufactures in Jiangsu province were studied during May 19th and June 6th, 2017. Several VOCs were found in the air samples of the studied food manufactures boundary and the total concentration varied from 0.178 to 0.968 mg m−3. The difference of the raw materials and the production processes resulted in the different pollution characteristics of the VOCs. Oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs) were all abundant in the VOCs emitted from the studied food factories varying from 69.6 to 98.9%. Odor index (OI) was calculated to estimate the olfactory nuisances of the VOC emissions. The total OIs (TOIs) showed that the unorganized VOCs emission of all the studied enterprises had odor pollution to the atmosphere environment. OVOCs were the largest contributors to the odor pollution ranging from 79.6 to 99.9%. Maximum increment reactivity (MIR) was used to evaluate the ozone formation potential (OFP) for the major VOC species. The OFPs for the VOCs emitted from the studied food manufactures were ranging from 0.294 to 0.792 mg m−3. Not all of the species with large emissions had large OFP contributions and some species with relatively small emissions could contribute largely to the OFPs. OVOCs contributed to the total OFPs varying from 55.3 to 98.1%. The VOCs did not pose non-carcinogenic risk to the exposed population. The carcinogenic risks of the VOCs were above the acceptable level proposed by EPA (1 × 10−6).","source":"Semantic Scholar","year":2019,"language":"en","subjects":["Chemistry"],"doi":"10.1016/J.APR.2018.10.010","url":"https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/9e1b9e73e55400e032de4c63b3ffa4415f636a48","is_open_access":true,"citations":29,"published_at":"","score":63.87},{"id":"doaj_Assessing+the+natural+durability+of+different+tropical+timbers+in+soil-bed+tests","title":"Assessing the natural durability of different tropical timbers in soil-bed tests","authors":[{"name":"Serafín Colín-Urieta"},{"name":"Artemio Carrillo-Parra"},{"name":"José Guadalupe Rutiaga-Quiñones"},{"name":"Pablo López-Albarran"},{"name":"Rosalio Gabriel Parra"},{"name":"José Javier Corral-Rivas"}],"abstract":"\nGround contact speeds up timber decay because of the large number of microorganisms in soil.
