Based on the introduction of the new adaptive probability for chromosome cross and chromosome mutate, this paper presents a new method for constructing chromosome. A new genetic algorithm for an integrated model of a single finished product VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) system considering markets and one level BOM (Bill of Materials) is developed. An example is given to illustrate the converge...

In this paper, we analyze the impact of a transportation disruption on supply chain performance by using system dynamics simulation. Performances of three different supply chains with Internet e-collaboration tools are compared with the assumption that a transportation disruption occurs within two echelons in a five-echelon supply chain. Numerical results are shown to reveal that from Non-colla...

The accurate operation of a Food Supply Chain (FSC) is critical issue as it directly interfaces with health and safety matters. This study addresses coordination conflict management in three-level FSC that embraces new inventory type known growing items like poultry livestock. chain involves rearing farm the supplier, processed food producer manufacturer, multiple retailers. Vendor Managed Inve...

A doença do coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19) é uma respiratória aguda infecciosa causada por um novo causador de síndrome grave 2 (SARS-CoV-2). infecção afeta principalmente as células epiteliais/alveolares e endoteliais, resultando na descamação pneumócitos, presença membrana hialina, formação inflamação intersticial com infiltração linfócitos. Devido essas alterações fisiopatológicas pode ocorrer ...

In a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) system, manufacturing vendor manages their retailer inventories. Studies on VMI-type supply chains mostly have not considered competition between retailers. There are few works the price competition; however, to best of authors’ knowledge, none papers formulated service strategy. The level is one competitive factors among competing Sometimes retailers choose ...

Patients and Methods We include all OHP admitted to our ICU with respiratory failure during two years (2013 and 2014). Demographic characteristics, underlying disease, admission cause, presence of organ failure, severity scores and mortality were registered. Data were compared by analysis bivariate between those intubated within 24 hours (group 1) and those requiring VMI after more than 24 hour...

Orthopedic hardware impairs image quality in cross-sectional imaging. With an increasing number of orthopedic implants in an aging population, the need to mitigate metal artifacts in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is becoming increasingly relevant. This review provides an overview of the major artifacts in CT and MRI and state-of-the-art solutions to improve image quality. A...

Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) often experience difficulties in handwriting. The current study examined the relationships between three motor assessments and the spatial and temporal consistency of handwriting. Twelve children with probable DCD and 29 children from 7 to 12 years who were typically developing wrote the lowercase letters "e" and "l" in cursive and printed...
