title: An acceptance sampling plan for the odd exponential-logarithmic Fréchet distribution: applications to quality control data

description: This study focuses on implementing a group acceptance sampling plan (GASP) for simultaneous inspection of objects with complex lifespan patterns described by the odd exponential logarithmic (OEL) Fréchet distribution. The inspiration from the proposed model stems from the challenges posed by the objects that exhibited right-skewed, j-shaped, reversed j-shaped and nearly symmetric densities, along with decreasing and increasing hazard rates. A mathematical function is derived to identify key points in the distribution, crucial for designing the inspection process based on factors like testing duration and acceptable risk levels. Performance is assessed across various quality levels, with a simulation study providing insights into parameter changes. The results are clarified <i>via</i> visual representations. The minimum ratios of actual to expected lifespan at specific risk levels, utilizing real-world data to validate the approach are computed. Finally, a comparison is driven in the quest of highlighting the efficacy and versatility of the proposed acceptance sampling plan (ASP) under the inverse log-logistic and generalized exponential (GE) models.

title: Supplement to "Climate policies for carbon neutrality should not rely on the uncertain increase of carbon storage in existing forests"

description: Supplementary data to "Climate policies for carbon neutrality should not rely on the uncertain increase of carbon storage in existing forests"This dataset contains data on potential biomass at global scale at 10 km resolution under current and future climate scenarios, discussed in the paper <i>Climate policies for carbon neutrality should not rely on the uncertain increase of carbon storage in existing forests</i>. In the paper we make the distinction between potential realised biomass, i.e. the maximum biomass expected under given environmental conditions (climate, topography and soil), and biomass carrying capacity, which is potential biomass adjusted for naturally occurring disturbance regimes. For details, see the material and methods section of the paper.This dataset provides potential realised biomass (PRB) and natural disturbance regimes (DR) for current (1970-2000) and future climate conditions (2081-2100), with 3 future climate scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 and SSP3-7.0) with the future climate being derived by 23 Earth system models. The climate data is sourced from the WorldClim V2.1 dataset<sup>1</sup>. The dataset presented here reports the same climate models, and a subset of the periods and scenarios.The filenames in this repository are created in the following way:<i>current climate</i>:{variable}_current_climate.tif<i>future climate</i>:{variable}_{climate model}_{climate scenario}_{climate period}.tifBiomass carrying capacity can be calculated with the following formula.

title: Results and analysis using the Lean Six-Sigma define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC) Framework

description: This section presents a discussion of the research data. The data was received as secondary data however, it was originally collected using the time study techniques. Data validation is a crucial step in the data analysis process to ensure that the data is accurate, complete, and reliable. Descriptive statistics was used to validate the data. The mean, mode, standard deviation, variance and range determined provides a summary of the data distribution and assists in identifying outliers or unusual patterns. The data presented in the dataset show the measures of central tendency which includes the mean, median and the mode. The mean signifies the average value of each of the factors presented in the tables. This is the balance point of the dataset, the typical value and behaviour of the dataset. The median is the middle value of the dataset for each of the factors presented. This is the point where the dataset is divided into two parts, half of the values lie below this value and the other half lie above this value. This is important for skewed distributions. The mode shows the most common value in the dataset. It was used to describe the most typical observation. These values are important as they describe the central value around which the data is distributed. The mean, mode and median give an indication of a skewed distribution as they are not similar nor are they close to one another. In the dataset, the results and discussion of the results is also presented.
This section focuses on the customisation of the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control) framework to address the specific concerns outlined in the problem statement. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the current process, value stream mapping was employed, which is further enhanced by measuring the factors that contribute to inefficiencies. These factors are then analysed and ranked based on their impact, utilising factor analysis. To mitigate the impact of the most influential factor on project inefficiencies, a solution is proposed using the EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) model. The implementation of the 'CiteOps' software facilitates improved scheduling, monitoring, and task delegation in the construction project through digitalisation. Furthermore, project progress and efficiency are monitored remotely and in real time. In summary, the DMAIC framework was tailored to suit the requirements of the specific project, incorporating techniques from inventory management, project management, and statistics to effectively minimise inefficiencies within the construction project.

title: Co-catalysis of melanin degradation by laccase-manganese peroxidase complex from <i>Trametes hirsuta</i> OK271075 for application in whitening cosmetics

description: Melanins are a complex natural pigment that darken the skin, a phenomenon regarded as an esthetic problem in tropical countries such as Indonesia. Melanin can be degraded by various oxidative enzymes such as laccase (Lac) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) which are produced by white rot fungi (WRF). In the current study, we successfully obtained a partial purified Lac-MnP from a tropical WRF called <i>Trametes hirsuta</i> OK271075. Co-catalysis of Lac and MnP in the melanin degradation existed as indicated by the enhancement of degradation upon the addition of mediators for the respective enzymes. The highest degradation was up to 42% in the presence of TEMPO (0.2 mM) and MnSO<sub>4</sub>-H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> (0.75 mM, 0.2 mM) as mediators. The increment was up to 20% compared to treatment without mediators. A higher degradation rate achieved when specific mediators of the enzymes were utilized indicated a synergistic effect of both enzymes that could be used simultaneously for melanin degradation. FTIR and FESEM analysis revealed significant changes in melanin structure between enzyme-treated and untreated melanin. Melanin granules were cracked and exfoliated due to an enzyme attack. Based on Pyrolysis-GCMS analysis, several compounds such as phenols, epoxides, ketones, and carboxylic acids were found in higher amount in the enzyme-treated than untreated melanin. This finding revealed the potency of a new isolated <i>T. hirsuta</i> for new enzyme applications in biotechnology fields, especially to degrade melanin for application in natural whitening cosmetics.

title: Immobilization of <i>Trametes trogii</i> laccase on polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated magnetic nanoparticles for biocatalytic degradation of textile dyes

description: High cost and low operational stability are the most important challenges limiting the possible use of laccase in the removal of textile dyes. To overcome these challenges, in this study, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were produced and characterized. To our knowledge, this is the first study to explore the feasibility of immobilizing a <i>Trametes trogii</i> laccase enzyme on Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/PVP MNPs. The characterization of samples and the successful immobilization of laccase were verified by characterization methods. Besides, the biochemical properties and stability of the Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/PVP/Lac were evaluated in terms of optimum pH, optimum temperature, thermostability, thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, storage stability, operational stability, and decolorization efficiency of two different textile dyes. The optimum activities were recorded at pH 2.5 °C and 30 °C. The Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/PVP/Lac displayed remarkable thermal stability and activation energy for denaturation, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, and entropy results confirmed the enhanced stability of Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/PVP/Lac against high temperatures. Meanwhile, the Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/PVP/Lac retained about 58% of its original activity after seven consecutive reuses, while it retained up to 25% of its original activity after 28 d of storage at room temperature. <i>K<sub>m</sub></i> and <i>V</i><sub>max</sub> for the Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/PVP/Lac were calculated to be 126 µM and 211 µmol/min, respectively. Finally, after 8 and 6 cycles of repeated use, the Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/PVP/Lac still decolorized 32.34% and 32.23% of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) and Indigo Carmine (IC), respectively. As envisioned, this study suggests a promising way to solve the problems of high price and poor operational stability of the enzyme during biocatalytic decolorization of textile dyes in wastewaters.
