The Effects of Different Supply Chain Integration Strategies on Disruption Recovery: A System Dynamics Study on the Cheese Industry by Quan Zhu, Harold Krikke, Marjolein C. J. Caniëls

“…Our purpose is to study the effects of SCI strategies with different dimensional focuses, i.e., information integration (Scenario 1), relational integration (Scenario 2), and operational integration (Scenario 3), on the recovery of three types of disruptions, i.e., a producer capacity disruption, an LSP capacity disruption, and a demand disruption. …”

Are sex ratio distorting endosymbionts responsible for mating system variation among dance flies (Diptera: Empidinae)? by Rosalind L Murray, Elizabeth J Herridge, Rob W Ness, Luc F Bussière

“…In this study we assessed whether dance flies harbour sex ratio distorting endosymbionts that might have driven these mating system evolutionary changes. We measured the incidence and prevalence of infection by three endosymbionts that are known to cause female-biased sex ratios in other insect hosts (Wolbachia, Rickettsia and Spiroplasma) across 20 species of dance flies. …”

EVOLUTION STAGES OF LOW RENIN HYPERTENSION by S. V. Akhadov, G. R. Ruzbanova, G. S. Molchanovа

“…Before and after enalapril treatment plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone level (PAL) were determined by radioimmunoassay method in active patients. 24-hour urinary excretion of epinephrine (UEE) and norepinephrine (UENE) was also determined by laser flowmetry.Results. Three forms of LRHT were defined among all patients: 1) patients (n=144) with essential LRHT had stimulated renin, eu- or hyperaldosteronism without adrenal hyperplasia; 2) patients (n=14) with transient LRHT had nonstimulated renin, eualdosteronism, presence or absence of adrenal hyperplasia; 3) patients (n=32) with the primary idiopathic hyperaldosteronism had nonstimulated renin, hyperaldosteronism and adrenal hyperplasia.Conclusion. …”

Low-mass Eclipsing Binaries KIC 4908495, KIC 6466939, and KIC 9474485: Isolated Pre-main-sequence Systems? by Orkun Özdarcan

“…Individual analysis of the evolutionary status of each system interestingly suggests that all component stars in all three systems are pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars that have already developed a radiative core and are on the way to the zero-age main sequence in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram. …”
