Merging supply chain and blockchain technologies
Technology is a significant component in our everyday life. Many definitions exist for technology, one of which is “all the knowledge, products, processes, tools, methods and systems employed in the creation of goods or in providing services”. Due to the impact of technological innovations on organizations, competitiveness levels are raised noticeably. Hence, reliable means of information exchange
The economic potential of using cotton stalks to produce alternative wooden materials
The wooden industry depends heavily on logging activities which have negative impacts on the environment and a shortage of supply. The industry is starting to depend on composite boards from agricultural waste materials. Composite boards have been shown in the literature. However, some wooden applications still depend on hardwoods. Besides, most of these composite boards use synthetic formaldehyde
A study on the feasibility of producing polylactic acid from cotton and coffee waste in Egypt
The amount of solid waste is growing In Egypt. It is estimated to be 20 million tons annually according to the Ministry of environment forecasts. The typical competence of collection in urban areas signifies 40 – 80%, although the middling proficiency of assortment processes and transport in rustic areas signifies 40 % which is considered hazardous for communal health and environment deprived of
The synthesis, production & economic feasibility of manufacturing PLA from agricultural waste
Synthetic plastics are extensively used in several applications including packaging, containers, bottles, trays, and boxes. However, these plastics are based on synthetic components which are not biodegradable, thus they rigorously effect the environment causing water, air pollution and high health risks. Moreover, Individuals are exposed to chemicals during manufacturing or usage of synthetic
Extraction of degradable bio polymer materials from shrimp shell wastes by two different methods
Chitosan is one of the most widespread biopolymer materials available in nature which is extracted from chitin. The main source of chitosan is the chitin that is extracted from exoskeletons of crustacean, such as shrimp and crabs, which are found in a huge amount of shells waste that produced from seafood companies around the world. The chitosan has several applications such as pharmaceutical
An energy-efficient multiobjective scheduling model for monitoring in internet of things
To ensure robustness in wireless networks, monitoring the network state, performance and functioning of the nodes and links is crucial, especially for critical applications. This paper targets Internet of Things (IoT) networks. In the IoT, devices (things) are vulnerable due to security risks from the Internet. Moreover, they are resource-constrained and connected via lossy links. This paper
