Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEconomic Evaluation of Streptococcus Pneumoniae Culture MediaVictor Morais, Norma SuárezStreptococcus pneumoniae, a major bacterial pathogen worldwide, requires a complex medium for culture, which complicates harvesting of antigens for vaccine production. Here we present an economic evaluation of factors affecting the production cost of a chemically defined medium for the scale up of fermentation of S. pneumoniae, compared with the most traditional fermentation media. A basic laboratory-scale experiment of 1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 27 May 2016 · 8,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProcess Intensification for Production and Recovery of Biological ProductsHamideh Vaghari, Maryam Eskandari, Vahideh Sobhani et al.Bioprocesses are important biological reactions which need several sophisticated methods and equipment to produce many novel and important compounds which some of them are traditionally produced by synthetic chemical reactions. In bioprocesses, the products are often produced in a dilute environment and finally they require a high purity. Because of that, downstream processes are usually included a large number of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2015 · 8,129 accessesView PDFCite

However, the quantification of the cost of production per unit of product has a particular importance in the processing enterprises, especially in the initial phase of choice that concerns realization of investments in facilities and technologies to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 5 Jul 2014 · 9,977 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF PROCESS INNOVATIONS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF OLIVE FARMSRiccardo Testa, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Filippo Sgroi, Salvatore TudiscaWithin a business enterprise, process innovations lead to reduced production costs and to increased profit margins. In this study, we shall examine an olive farm that operates in a perfectly competitive market that has introduced a process innovation so as to contain labour costs and therefore production costs. So, the paper aimed at comparing economic competitiveness of an olive farm … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 4 Jul 2014 · 7,167 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTRATEGY TO INCREASE THE FARM COMPETITIVENESSFilippo Sgroi, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Riccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaItaly’s wine-growing production structure is highly pulverized. So, for many wine-growing farms lowering the production cost represents the only way of gaining a competitive advantage. Production at average unit costs lower than competitors allows to improve profitability. Among farming operations, winter pruning and tying of productive vine-branches require a high human labor. For this reason the paper presents the results … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 16 Jun 2014 · 7,793 accessesView PDFCite
