Chemical pollution by pesticides has been identified as a possible contributing factor to the massive mortality outbreaks observed in Crassostrea gigas for several years. A previous study demonstrated the vertical transmission of DNA damage by subjecting oyster genitors to the herbicide diuron at environmental concentrations during gametogenesis. This trans-generational effect occurs through da...

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is universally accepted as the method of choice for economic assessment in Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) but singular focus on costs ineffective representing multiple facets sustainability. This review intends to identify other indicators potentially complement use LCC LCSA. Papers were identified Web Science Core Collection database years 2010–2021. The shortlisted ...

We construct a new continuous time selection-mutation-recombination model for population dynamics, which describes the development of the distribution of the different gametes in the population. We show that cyclic mutation rates can result in stable and unstable limit cycles due to Hopf -bifurcation. In addition, we give a qualitative characterization of the whole dynamics in the simplex, whic...

  A product life cycle is the life span of a product in which the period begins with the initial product specification and ends with the withdrawal from the market of both the product and its support. A product life cycle can be divided into several stages characterized by the revenue generated by the product. This study investigates inventory control policies in a manufacturing system for a si...
