Does service-oriented manufacturing improve customer stability?

Stabilizing customer relationships plays an important role in improving supply chain resilience. Based on a sample of A-share listed companies in the manufacturing industry from 2009 to 2022, this work investigates the impact of SOM(service-oriented manufacturing) on supply chain resilience from the perspective of customer stability. The results showed that SOM has a positive impact on customer relationship stability, indicating that manufacturing enterprises carrying out SOM can improve customer relationship stability, and this stable relationship is long lasting.

Effects of treatment on intestinal microorganisms in mice with antibiotics-induced diarrhea.

To investigate the influence of treatment on intestinal microorganisms in mice with antibiotics-induced diarrhea, mouse model of antibiotics-induced diarrhea was created by gavaging mice with mixed antibiotics (23.33 mL/kg/days) composed of gentamycin sulfate and cefradine for 5 days. Mice with the symptom of diarrhea were then treated with by intragastric administration.

Optimization of alkaline extraction and bioactivities of polysaccharides from rhizome of Polygonatum odoratum.

The present study is to explore the optimal extraction parameters, antioxidant activity, and antimicrobial activity of alkaline soluble polysaccharides from rhizome of Polygonatum odoratum. The optimal extraction parameters were determined as the following: NaOH concentration (A) 0.3 M, temperature (B) 80 °C, ratio of NaOH to solid (C) 10-fold, and extraction time (D) 4 h, in which ratio of NaOH to solid was a key factor.

The catalytic pyrolysis of food waste by microwave heating.

This study describes a series of experiments that tested the use of microwave pyrolysis for treating food waste. Characteristics including rise in temperature, and the three-phase products, were analyzed at different microwave power levels, after adding 5% (mass basis) metal oxides and chloride salts to the food waste. Results indicated that, the metal oxides MgO, Fe₂O₃ and MnO₂ and the chloride salts CuCl₂ and NaCl can lower the yield of bio-oil and enhance the yield of gas.

A novel function of sanshools: the alleviation of injury from metolachlor in rice seedlings.

Szechuan peppers are extensively used as a spice and in traditional medicine in Asia, primarily because of its active compounds, sanshools (S). However, there is only limited mention in agriculture, and there are no papers reporting its use as an herbicide safener. In this study, we provide the first evidence that S can effectively alleviate rice-seedling injury from metolachlor (M).

Processing uncertain RFID data in traceability supply chains.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is widely used to track and trace objects in traceability supply chains. However, massive uncertain data produced by RFID readers are not effective and efficient to be used in RFID application systems. Following the analysis of key features of RFID objects, this paper proposes a new framework for effectively and efficiently processing uncertain RFID data, and supporting a variety of queries for tracking and tracing RFID objects.
