Sustainability is a holistic concept whereby covering broad spectrums of aspect social, economic and environmental principles. Private Finance Initiative (PFI) is a long-term approach providing unique opportunity to grasp the issues of sustainability. However, the current implementation of PFI had mistreated to incorporate comprehensive elements of sustainable green development throughout the projects. Thus, the paper intends to investigate the issues, challenges and best practices which significant lead to sustainability performance in Malaysian PFI projects.

In Malaysia, environmental issues have increasingly become a priority for the government and the public. However, fully owned Malaysian firms have the lowest level of participation in green supply chain initiatives compared to foreign based companies. This could indicate that there are barriers and obstacles that are hindering the local manufacturing companies from greening their supply chain.

The rol oncogenes of Agrobacterium rhizogenes enhance the production of medicinally important compounds in plants and provide a first barrier against the overproduction of reactive oxygen species during biotic and abiotic stress. This study was designed to evaluate the expression of genes involved in biosynthetic pathways and their impact on metabolic contents and environmental stress tolerance in regenerated Ajuga bracteosa Wall. ex Benth. After successful transformation, real-time quantitative PCR confirmed the increased expression (1.94–6.

The present study has attempted to evaluate and investigate the prospects of nuclear power as a viable alternative in terms of energy security, reliability, and environmental sustainability with the SWOT tool. To further quantify the main drivers and barriers of nuclear energy, a Relative Importance Index (RII) analysis has been done. The results reveal that Pakistan has decades of experience running nuclear power plants satisfactorily. The regulatory framework for nuclear power generation is adequate to expand nuclear power generation.

This paper resonate current debate on renewable energy developments (RED) with emphasis on opportunities, barriers and related issues within the context of global energy politics. Energy is a strategic commodity that is required to meet basic needs of the society. A sizeable portion of primary energy demand is met through conventional fossil fuels which are a finite resource, but RED is an important step towards environmental, social and economic development.

MCMSeq: Bayesian hierarchical modeling of clustered and repeated measures RNA sequencing experiments
As the barriers to incorporating RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) into biomedical studies continue to decrease, the complexity and size of RNA-Seq experiments are rapidly growing. Paired, longitudinal, and other correlated designs are becoming commonplace, and these studies offer immense potential for understanding how transcriptional changes within an individual over time differ depending on treatment or environmental conditions.

In the recent past, there has been an explosion of probiotic health-based products. However, there are many reports indicated that there is poor survival of probiotic bacteria in these products. Further, the survival of these bacteria in the human gastro-intestinal system is questionable. Providing probiotic living cells with a physical barrier against adverse environmental conditions is therefore an approach currently receiving considerable interest. Microencapsulation being one of the most modern methods has considerable effects on probiotic survival.

Environment degradation is a global issue for which every individual or entity has to play their role. For an organization there are several ways by which their contribution to the environment can be improved. For said purpose, the present study was conducted in which the role of green innovation, environment proactiveness and environment management accounting was studied on environment performance and energy efficiency. Moreover, to meet the goal, the present study employs quantitative research approach where data was collected from 367 respondents and PLS-SEM was employed.
