ENTROPY-BASED ALGORITHM FOR SUPPLY-CHAIN COMPLEXITY ASSESSMENT

Entropy-Based Algorithm for Supply-Chain Complexity Assessment

This paper considers a graph model of hierarchical supply chains.The goal is to measure the complexity of links between different components of the chain, for instance, between the principal equipment manufacturer (a root node) and its suppliers (preceding supply nodes).The information Coaster Set entropy is used to serve as a measure of knowledge

Scissoring of a Cobalt Alloy Aneurysm Clip causing Slippage during Cerebral Aneurysm Surgery : Case report and review of literature

Clip slippage is a rare occurrence, and the scissoring or torsional failure of aneurysm clips is rarer still.Titanium clips have been implicated educational toys in a few such reported cases.The authors report its occurrence while using a fenestrated cobalt alloy clip for an internal carotid artery aneurysm which was identified Dab Inserts by intra

Targeting Conserved Pathways in 3D Spheroid Formation of Diverse Cell Types for Translational Application: Enhanced Functional and Antioxidant Capacity

Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro spheroid/organoid culture increasingly appears to better mimic physiological states than standard 2D systems.The biological consequence of 3D spheroids, however, differs for different cell types: for pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs), differentiation and loss of stemness occur, while the converse is true for so
