Journal Article
Sato, Y., Tan, K. H., & Tse, Y. K. (2017). Investment performance analysis of industrial products: Case of an effluent processing facility at a chemical company. International Journal of Production Economics, 194, 52-58. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpe.2016.12.021

This paper proposes an approach to a multi-criteria investment performance analysis of industrial products. Manufacturers must determine the necessary and sufficient specification of products they use. Such an analysis, however, involves a broad ra...

Cannabidiol (CBD) has been established to have both acute and long-lasting effects to reduce fear memory expression. The long-lasting impact might be mediated by an enhancement of memory extinction or an impairment of memory reconsolidation. Here, we...
