Article Abstract
Lean production is regarded as systematic solution for identifying and eliminating waste through continuous improvement of manufacturing processes to meet customers' requirements. Due to rising environmental concerns and the significant environmental impact of companies operations, issues such as environmental management and green production are on board agendas. In essence, green production seeks to reduce the environmental impacts of business processes. In order to examine green production, an original equipment manufacturer in the supply chain of tractor manufacturing industry is selected for this work to enable a focus on lean production aspects and its specific requirements to evaluate a company-specific production system (XPS). The results suggest that the company utilizes six lean-green production criteria including suitable and green packaging, quality improvement, waste reduction, environmental pollution reduction, transport management and additional transportation reduction, and cost reduction. Furthermore, continuous improvement and integrated auditing are selected as two critical and fundamental elements with the highest ranks, regarding the relationships between the XPS elements and lean-green production criteria.

Coffee plants and beans are prone to fungal contamination that pose health risks to consumers by producing mycotoxins like ochratoxin A (OTA). Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the mycobiota of Costa Rican coffee beans, focusing on potentially ochratoxigenic species and their in vitro susceptibility patterns to antifungal agents. Fungal isolates were obtained from cherry, green, and roasted coffee beans from Costa Rica; they were identified by morphology, MALDI-TOF technology, and sequencing.

Understanding the determinants of lifespan is a central objective in biology. Lifespan is shaped by dynamic, stage-specific changes in metabolism, energy allocation, and genome integrity. Heart rate serves as a physiological marker that reflects both life stage and metabolic state.

The direct cross-coupling of unactivated alkyl halides with aryl or heteroaryl partners remains a fundamental challenge in synthetic chemistry due to their inertness and propensity for side reactions. Herein, we report a transition-metal-free electrochemical halogen-atom transfer strategy that enables efficient alkyl radical cross-coupling via convergent paired electrolysis. In this system, anodically generated α-aminoalkyl radicals mediate the activation of alkyl iodides, while aryl/heteroaryl aldehydes or nitriles undergo cathodic reduction to afford persistent ketyl radical anions or aryl radical anions.

Under China's national sustainability strategy, the logistics industry is confronted with the imperative of high-quality green development. Given its status as the leading economic province and a national logistics hub, investigating green logistics development in Guangdong province holds paramount strategic importance. To comprehensively evaluate green logistics development efficiency of 21 cities in Guangdong from 2016 to 2022, this study employed the super-efficiency slacks-based measure model (Super-SBM) with undesirable outputs, the Global Malmquist-Luenberger (GML) productivity index and a four-quadrant analysis based on static and dynamic efficiency.

ConspectusMolecular photochemistry, by harnessing the excited states of organic molecules, provides a platform fundamentally distinct from thermochemistry for generating reactive open-shell or spin-active species under mild conditions. Among its diverse applications, the resurgence of the Minisci-type reaction, a transformation historically reliant on thermally initiated radical conditions, has been fueled by modern photochemical strategies with improved efficiency and selectivity. Consequently, the photochemical Minisci-type reaction ranks among the most enabling methods for C()-H functionalizations of heteroarenes, which are of particular significance in medicinal chemistry for the rapid diversification of bioactive scaffolds.
