Supply chain management is widely accepted as a means for companies to gain competitive advantage. While product and information flows have been widely covered in the literature, relatively little attention has been paid to the management of a supply chain ...
A recently developed modified polar organic chemical integrative sampler (POCIS) provides a means for monitoring perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in water. However, changes in external flow rates may alter POCIS sampling behaviour and consequently affect es ...
An important study domain in hydrology is dedicated to understand how the spatial organization of river networks is reflected in the hydrologic response to rainfall inputs (Biswal and Marani, 2010). Base flow (or recession flow) is the discharge rate in a ...
Financial flows are often treated in a fragmented and disconnected way from the physical product flow. Managers take decisions from an operational point of view concerning inventory, service level or capacity needs. The implementation of such decisions inf ...
Areas/Paper type – 08. Integration of renewable energy in the built environment, Methodology Background – Today’s simulation technology in engineering and architecture are very impressive. As a result technology developers have a good idea of the resulting ...
Closed-loop supply chains (CLSC) consider all of the activities in the lifecycle of a product from design to end-of-life operation. These chains encompass, in addition to the traditional forward flow of products to customers, the acquisition and return flo ...
The absorption of dietary calcium through the intestinal barrier is essential for maintaining health in general and especially of the bone system. We propose a microfluidic model that studies free calcium (Ca2+) transport through a confluent monolayer of C ...
Arterial tree hemodynamics can be simulated by means of several models of different level of complexity, depending on the outputs of interest and the desired degree of accuracy. In this work, several numerical comparisons of geometrical multiscale models a ...
A dosage system for feeding a fluid (A) to a static mixer (1), said system comprising a tank (2) containing said fluid (A) at a predetermined pressure, a fluid passage (3) connecting said container (1) and tank (2), a control valve (4) provided within said ...
[1] In this paper we extend previous mathematical results on the probabilistic modeling of base flows driven by spatial and temporal fluctuations of soil moisture and affected by intermittent rainfall forcings and by heterogeneous transport, soil, and vege ...
