Spore-forming bacteria as pharmaceutical factories
Many Bacilli form dormant structures, spores, which routinely survive physical, chemical and biological challenge. How do spores encapsulate their contents, and could it be possible to mimic or adapt them to make better drug products? Key spore component 2,6-dipicolinic acid (DPA) is necessary for …

A predictive approach for identifying high performance factories
… and through a qualitative survey distributed to factories in China, Bangladesh, and Turkey. Based on modeled historical trends, we find that current factory metrics vary significantly in their ability to signal long-term performance. Whereas on-time delivery is universally correlated with factory …

Electricity sensors for resource efficiency and supply chain visibility in factories
Cost pressures on factories and the growing movement towards sustainability are key motivations behind Li & Fung's (LF) drive towards innovation. Supply chain digitalization through initiatives such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data is one of LF's pillars in its Three Year Plan. LF is …

The Russian revolution and the factories of Petrograd, February 1917 to June 1918
… workers and to democratise relations within the factories. It begins by examining the sociology of the factory workforce and posits the centrality of the division between a fully proletarianised minority of skilled, literate, male workers and the majority of low-paid, unskilled, peasant and women …

Production of a functional human milk oligosaccharide, 2'-fucosyllactose, using microbial cell factories
Human breast milk is the gold standard for infant nutrition. In human milk, the oligosaccharides may protect babies by acting as decoy receptors for pathogens. Also, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) enhance the proliferation of probiotics to strengthen the host immune system. Among HMOs, …

An inquiry into significant factors for accident prevention embodied in the Factories Act
The Factories, Machinery and Building Work Act of 1941 has embodied in it certain factors which are apparently intended to promote the prevention of accidents in industry. These factors have been lifted out of the Act and Regulations and their significance is discussed in this thesis. The results …

Using factory-level digital tools to improve quality and productivity in garment factories
… uses a supplier network of thousands of garment factories around the world, the majority of whom are still capturing quality and production data manually, resulting in incomplete and inaccurate records. Factories see the value in making their operations digital, but most are low margin businesses …

Beneth corporate codes of conduct : what drives compliance in two Mexican garment factories
… I develop two case studies of subcontracting factories that are subject to a multinational company's (MNC) code of conduct. These two factories have many similarities-both are in Mexico, both are in the apparel industry, and both produce for the same MNC. In addition, on the surface, they …
