The ability to engineer the mouse genome has profoundly transformed biomedical research. During the last decade, conventional transgenic and gene knockout technologies have become invaluable experimental tools for modeling genetic disorders, assigning functions to genes, evaluating drugs and toxins, and by and large helping to answer fundamental questions in basic and applied research. In addit...

Multi-criteria decision making is a sub discipline of operations research that explicitly considers multiple criteria in decision making problems. Several methods have been proposed for solving multicriteria decision making problems (MCDM). The weighted sum method (WSM) is the best known and simplest multi-criteria decision making method for evaluating a number of alternatives in terms of a num...

The OpenAIRE infrastructure is the point of reference for Open Science in Europe. Its services populate and provide access to a graph of objects relative to publications, datasets, people, organizations, projects, and funders aggregated from a variety of data sources, such as institutional repositories, data archives, journals, and CRIS systems. Not only, objects in the graph are harmonized to ...

Purpose: The present paper aims to investigate the impact of two different dimensions of supply chain integration on two aspects of firm performance in the emerging economy of China. In addition, the moderating effects of market orientation on the relationship between supply chain integration and firm performance are explored. Design/methodology/approach: Data were obtained from a survey admini...
