An agent-based modeling framework for the design of a dynamic closed-loop supply chain network

Abstract The supply chain is a dynamic and uncertain system consisting of material, information, and fund flows between different organizations, from the acquisition of the raw materials to the delivery of the finished products to the end c...

Implications of climate change on freshwater ecosystems and their biodiversity

Global warming is a phenomenon whereby the planet's exposure to the sun's radiation worsens from the high emission of gasses believed to trap heat within the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the leading greenhouse gas majorly responsible...

Investigations of the impact of polluted natural waters on cardiovascular diseases and development of integrated prevention system

The aim of this study was to establish the correlation between natural water pollutions and the prevalence of heart diseases. We analyzed the data from the 2014 Federal Service Report on the state of sanitary and epidemiological welfare of ...

Highly Efficient Leaf Base Protoplast Isolation and Transient Expression Systems for Orchids and Other Important Monocot Crops

Versatile protoplast platforms greatly facilitate the development of modern botany. However, efficient protoplast-based systems are still challenging for numerous horticultural plants and crops. Orchids are globally cultivated ornamental an...

Variation in Anthyllis vulneraria L. populations in adjacent regions across acidic and basic soils in Val Piora

Populations of Anthyllis vulneraria ssp. vulneraria and A. vulneraria ssp. vallesiaca are found in close vicinity in Val Piora, where the geological situation changes abruptly between basic and acidic substrates. At three sites with populat...

Topologically protected loop flows in high voltage AC power grids

Geographical features such as mountain ranges or big lakes and inland seas often result in large closed loops in high voltage AC power grids. Sizable circulating power flows have been recorded around such loops, which take up transmission l...

Pico de fluxo da tosse em pré-escolares: taxa de sucesso e reprodutibilidade teste-reteste

RESUMO É importante avaliar a função pulmonar em pré-escolares. Poucos estudos relacionados aos testes de função pulmonar nessa população estão disponíveis. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a taxa de sucesso e reprodutibilidade teste-ret...

EFFECT OF VITAMIN A ON CYCLOSPORINE NEPHROTOXICITY IN UNINEPHRECTOMIZED RATS

The influence of vitamin A (1.5 mg kg-1 body weight) administration for two weeks on cyclosporine A (CsA, 25 mg kg-1 body weight) induced renal dysfunction has been investigated in uninephrectomized and sham nephrectomized rats. Single kidn...

Modulation Instability and Abundant Exact Solitons to the Fractional Mathematical Physics Model Through Two Distinct Methods

The paper consists of various types of wave solutions for the truncated M-fractional Bateman–Burgers equation, a significant mathematical physics equation. This model describes the nonlinear waves and solitons in different physical fields s...

Impact of prolonged obstructive sleep apnea syndrome disease course on retinal-choroidal microcirculation: a WF-SS-OCTA study

Purpose: This study used wide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (WF-SS-OCTA) to evaluate changes in macular vascular density in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) at different stages of disease d...

Flood Response System—A Case Study

Flood Response System (FRS) is a network-enabled solution developed using open-source software. The system has query based flood damage assessment modules with outputs in the form of spatial maps and statistical databases. FRS effectively f...

Sensitivity of aerosol and cloud properties to coupling strength of marine boundary layer clouds over the northwest Atlantic

Quantifying the degree of coupling between marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds and the surface is critical for understanding the evolution of low clouds and explaining the vertical distribution of aerosols and microphysical cloud properties....

A hybrid technique to enhance the rainfall-runoff prediction of physical and data-driven model: a case study of Upper Narmada River Sub-basin, India

Abstract Accurate streamflow prediction is crucial for effective water resource management and planning. This study aims to enhance streamflow simulation accuracy in the data-scarce Upper Narmada River Basin (UNB) by proposing a novel hybri...
