Which Are the Most Relevant Questions in the Assessment of Outcome after Distal Radial Fractures? by Donald Buchanan, D. Prothero, J. Field

“…The variables in these scoring systems that predicted satisfaction were pain and ability to perform household chores or usual occupation, open packets, and cut meat. The four most important questions to ask in the clinic following wrist fractures are about severity of pain and ability to open packets, cut meat, and perform household chores or usual occupation. …”

An Integrated Problem of p-Hub Location and Revenue Management with Multiple Capacity Levels under Disruptions by Yan-Ting Hou, Jia-Zhen Huo, Feng Chu

“…We propose a two-stage stochastic programming model to maximize the profit of the network in which the cost of installing the hubs at different levels of capacities, the transportation cost, and the revenue obtained by selling airline tickets are considered. To provide flexible solutions, a hybrid two-stage stochastic programming-robust optimization model is developed by putting relative emphasis on a weighted sum of profit maximization. …”
