Excess sludge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the hotpot of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), is widely deposed by composting due to abundant nutrients. However, few studies applied sludge compost products (SCP) as soil amendments because of ARGs and heavy metals in sludge. To...

Project scheduling is one of the core elements of project management, which is essential for engineering-to-order manufacturing companies to improve productivity, reduce costs and shorten project finish time. This paper explores the multi-mode project scheduling problem under resource and finish...

The article models the borrowing producers in a production supply chain with insurer green finance. The borrowing firms’ transacting carbon allowances (CA) under the cap-and-trade mechanism affect the insurer’s loan rate-setting and guaranteed rate-setting decisions. One result shows that a...

Previous research on the effect of board characteristics mostly examines established firms.This raises the question of whether the findings from the board characteristics literature are applicable to rapidly growing enterprises, as their corporate governance landscape can be very different from...

A deflectable pulsed fibre nanosecond laser was employed in systematically studying the profiling small-angle bevel-edge contour diamond grinding wheels. There is taper error in laser profiling grinding wheel technology as with other laser removal technologies and little research on the...

High sensitivity plays a crucial role in the development of wearable electronic devices. For fiber-based wearable sensors, the sensitivity mainly depends on the conductive properties and surface structure of the fibers. Researchers have made great progress in exploring novel structures and...

Herein, dual-emission carbon dots (D-CDs) have been developed for ratiometric recognition of Co2+ and EDTA, along with successive fluorescence variation of yellow, purplish-pink, purple, light blue, and dark blue. D-CDs have been synthesized by microwave-assisted heating of tetracycline and...
