Can anticipatory supply chain decision making manage the pandemic's effect? A regime switching game

Author(s): Mukherjee A; Ganguly A; Kumar C; Chowdhury P;

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that stock outs of essential items like hand sanitizers, tissue papers and other items of hygiene and daily use have been characteristic of a supply chain, especially immediately following a pandemic wave. Consequently, retailers have to indulge in substantial supplier management efforts to ensure product availability durin ...

Global assessment of effective population sizes: Consistent taxonomic differences in meeting the 50/500 rule

Author(s): Clarke SH; Lawrence ER; Matte JM; Gallagher BK; Salisbury SJ; Michaelides SN; Koumrouyan R; Ruzzante DE; Grant JWA; Fraser DJ;

Effective population size (Ne) is a particularly useful metric for conservation as it affects genetic drift, inbreeding and adaptive potential within populations. Current guidelines recommend a minimum Ne of 50 and 500 to avoid short-term inbreeding and to preserve long-term adaptive potential re ...

Microstructure of Deposits Sprayed by a High Power Torch with Flash Boiling Atomization of High-Concentration Suspensions

Author(s): Amrollahy Biouki S; Ben Ettouil F; C Liberati A; Dolatabadi A; Moreau C;

The main objective of this study was to use flash boiling atomization as a new method to inject suspensions with high solid content into the high-power plasma flow. The water-based suspension was prepared with submicron titanium oxide particles with an average size of 500 nm. The investigated solid concentrations were 20, 40, 55 and 70 wt%. Two plasma tor ...

High-Resolution Frequency-Domain Spectroscopic and Modeling Studies of Photosystem I (PSI), PSI Mutants and PSI Supercomplexes

Author(s): Zazubovich V; Jankowiak R;

Photosystem I (PSI) is one of the two main pigment-protein complexes where the primary steps of oxygenic photosynthesis take place. This review describes low-temperature frequency-domain experiments (absorption, emission, circular dichroism, resonant and non-resonant hole-burned spectra) and modeling efforts reported for PSI in recent years. In particular ...

Effect of nanobubbles on the mobilization of microplastics in shorelines subject to seawater infiltration

Author(s): Wang Z; Lee K; Feng Q; An C; Chen Z;

The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) in the ocean has varying degrees of impact on ecosystems and even human health. Coastal tidal zones are crucial in controlling the movement of MPs, which are influenced by waves and tidal forces. Meanwhile, natural nanobubbles (NBs) in the ocean can affect the hydrodynamic properties of the tidal zone. The mo ...

Recruitment dynamics of juvenile salmonids: Comparisons among populations and with classic case studies

Author(s): Matte JO; Fraser DJ; Grant JWA;

Understanding recruitment, the process by which individuals are added to a population or to a fishery, is critical for understanding population dynamics and facilitating sustainable fisheries management. Important variation in recruitment dynamics is observed among populations, wherein some populations exhibit asymptotic productivity and others exhibit ov ...

A case study in developmental discontinuity: PROSPER Interventions and adolescent substance use trajectories shape young adult substance use and mental health problems

Author(s): Fosco GM; Fang S; Chen L; Feinberg ME; Spoth R;

The loss of John Schulenberg reverberates across the developmental and prevention sciences. In honor of his many contributions, this paper applies his ideas of developmental continuity and discontinuity to understand the process by which PROSPER delivered universal prevention programs (delivered in Grades 6 and 7) affect young adult outcomes. Guided by th ...

Discovery and preclinical development of a therapeutically active nanobody-based chimeric antigen receptor targeting human CD22

Author(s): McComb S; Arbabi-Ghahroudi M; Hay KA; Keller BA; Faulkes S; Rutherford M; Nguyen T; Shepherd A; Wu C; Marcil A; Aubry A; Hussack G; Pinto DM; Ryan S; Raphael S; van Faassen H; Zafer A; Zhu Q; Maclean S; Chattopadhyay A; Gurnani K; Gilber ...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies targeting B cell-restricted antigens CD19, CD20, or CD22 can produce potent clinical responses for some B cell malignancies, but relapse remains common. Camelid single-domain antibodies (sdAbs or nanobodies) are smaller, simpler, and easier to reco ...

Understanding Adolescents' Experiences With Menstrual Pain to Inform the User-Centered Design of a Mindfulness-Based App: Mixed Methods Investigation Study

Author(s): Gagnon MM; Brilz AR; Alberts NM; Gordon JL; Risling TL; Stinson JN;

Background: Digital interventions are increasingly popular for the provision of nonpharmacological pain interventions, but few exist for adolescents with menstrual pain. User-centered design involves incorporating users across phases of digital health intervention design, development, and implementation and leads to improved user engagement and outcomes. ...

Interactive effects of alcohol and cannabis quantities in the prediction of same-day negative consequences among young adults

Author(s): Wardell JD; Coelho SG; Farrelly KN; Fox N; Cunningham JA; O' Connor RM; Hendershot CS;

Background: Simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use is common, but observational studies examining negative consequences of simultaneous use have rarely considered dose-related interactions between alcohol and cannabis. This study examined interactions between quantities of cannabis and alcohol con ...
