The strong market competition forces forest owners to find innovative approaches to forest management, and business models are becoming integral parts of successful innovations and business strategies.This paper deals with the applicability of a business model (as an innovation tool) for small forest owners.The main objectives were to design a busi
Curcumin: From Exotic Spice to Modern Anticancer Drug
Inhibition of defined molecular steps of tumourigenesis by natural non-toxic compounds may be an efficient means to tackle the Royal Jelly population cancer burden.Extensive research has addressed the chemotherapeutic potential of curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a relatively non-toxic plant derived polyphenol.Curcumin is used for centuries in cuisine
Towards Identification of the Hierarchical Link between Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing and Smart Factory: Concept Cross-Comparison and Synthesis
The industrial sector has historically been linked to the prosperity, development and evolution of nations, hence to the genesis of the philosophy of competitiveness, mainly at the manufacturing level.An environment is in perpetual adaptation to Diecast Boxes trends, and the best example is the change of industrial ideology, as was the case in the
Are maternal antibodies really that important? Patterns in the immunologic development of altricial passerine house sparrows (Passer domesticus).
Maternal antibodies are believed to play an integral role in protecting immunologically immature wild-passerines from environmental antigens.This study comprehensively HENNA SHAMP examines the early development of the adaptive immune system in an altricial-developing wild passerine species, the house sparrow (Passer domestics), by characterizing th
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Cooperative Spectrum Sensing and Channel Access in Cognitive UAV Networks
This paper studies the problem of distributed spectrum/channel access for cognitive radio-enabled unmanned aerial vehicles (CUAVs) that overlay upon primary channels.Under the framework of cooperative spectrum sensing and opportunistic transmission, a one-shot optimization problem for channel allocation, aiming to maximize the expected cumulative w
