nowadays all organizations are somehow involved with information technology revolutions and the applicable aspects of information technology are evident in any field of supply chain, from the relationship with suppliers and producers to the relationship with the customers. in other words, the application of information technology is influential in the improvement of the supply chain. in this st...

This paper is devoted to the study of the persistence of periodic solutions under perturbations in dynamical systems generated by evolutionary equations, which are not smoothing in finite time, but only asymptotically smoothing. Assuming that the periodic solution of the unperturbed system is non-degenerate, we want to prove the existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution for the perturbed ...

From superconductors to atomic nuclei, strongly-interacting many-body systems are ubiquitous in nature. Measuring the microscopic structure of such is a formidable challenge, often met by particle knockout scattering experiments. While measurements fundamental for mapping their interpretation challenged quantum mechanical initial- and final-state interactions (ISI/FSI) incoming scattered partic...

It is argued that firm cooperation in supply chain management can be classified as a hybrid governance structure in a new institutional sense. Using a key informant survey, exploratory data on transaction dimensions and supply chain management was gathered and analyzed. Findings suggest that the implementation of such cooperation is not a binary choice but rather a matter of varying degrees. Al...

2014 To observe the contraction of a flexible chain, quasi-elastic light scattering and viscosity experiments were performed below the 03B8-temperature. The systems used were monodisperse polystyrene (Mw = 1.71 x 105, Mw =4.11 105, Mw = 1.26 106) dissolved in cyclohexane. It is observed that : 2014 Hydrodynamic and viscosity expansion factors, 03B1H and 03B13~, scale with the reduced variable (...

Although the interest of partnering and supply chain integration (SCI) has increased in various industries, there is still a lack of comprehensive conceptual and practical frameworks that enable both a detailed and systemic understanding of integration in project-based supply chains. In this paper a theoretical framework is developed, based on general SCI literature, but adapted to a project-ba...
