Abstract: As the urbanization rate increases every day, city logistics become more and more important. Electric vehicles are both environmentally friendly and also less costly alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles. However, decision methods employed by businesses are not useful to evaluate these systems. We propose a new model that helps businesses to evaluate the contribution of electric vehicles in city logistics.

Abstract: Talinum paniculatum is an edible plant with enormous medicinal properties. The main focus of this study was on callus induction due to the natural ability of callus that can regenerate into a new plant. This study was carried out to determine the effects of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) on callus induction of T. paniculatum from leaf explant. Leaf explants of T. paniculatum were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media containing 2,4-D at concentrations of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 mg/L and BAP at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mg/L under single exposure or combined exposure. Explants cultured on medium containing no plant growth regulators (PGR) served as control in this experiment. The effectiveness of PGRs on callus induction of T. paniculatum was determined by recording the callus induction day, percentage of callus induced in all the treatments and morphology of the callus induced. Leaf explants treated with 2,4-D and BAP in
