Green logistics practices in Malaysian food-based manufacturing industry by Hussin, Hilda

“…From the analysis, it was found that majority of the Malaysian food-based manufacturers green logistics practices fall into light green colour band for each one of three logistics activities. This colour band indicated that the manufacturers have practiced green in their logistics activities and they are well on the way to operating “green logistics practices” but still need to adopt the remaining green practices. …”

Dna markers and mapping of quantitative trait loci for yield and bunch quality in Deli dura X Yangambi pisifera oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) population by Seng, Tzer Ying

“…In the DA41 population, cumulative QTL effects increased in tandem with the number of QTL markers, matching the QT+ allele for each of the traits tested. The many QTLs detected per trait suggested that the traits studied are polygenic with many genes of individual small effects on independent loci. …”

A study on dual topic models and bayesian topic model inference by Rugeles, Daniel

“…A popular inference approach to topic models is collapsed Gibbs sampling (CGS), which typically samples a single latent topic label for each observed document-word pair. First, we extend CGS and propose to assign a compound distribution over the possible assignments for a given document-word pair. …”
