Fighting the E-commerce Giants: Efficient Routing and Effective Consolidation for Local Delivery Platforms [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Local delivery platforms are collaborative undertakings where local stores offer instant-delivery to local customers ordering their products online. Offering such delivery services both cost-efficiently and reliably is one of the main challenges for local delivery platforms, as they face a complex, dynamic, stochastic dynamic pickup-and-delivery ...

Drug Screening of Primary Human Endometriotic Cells Based on Micro‐Encapsulating Microfluidic Chip

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To address the challenges of unclear mechanisms and poor therapeutic efficacy in endometriosis (EMs), this study develops a microfluidic chip platform integrated with primary cell‐laden microcapsules. Gradient drug screening reveals individualized treatment response variations among patients and their correlation with clinical outcomes.

The Fourier Evaluation of Tracings and Acidosis in Labor: the FETAL Technique [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Adequate fetal and neonatal development depend upon the presence of a normal acid-base environment during pregnancy and the smooth transition from intra-uterine to extra-uterine life. Current methods to assess fetal pH and acid-base status are invasive and carry significant maternal and fetal risks.

Approximation Algorithms for Drone Delivery Scheduling Problem [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
The coordination among drones and ground vehicles for last-mile delivery has gained significant interest in recent years. In this paper, we study \textit{multiple drone delivery scheduling problem(MDSP) \cite{Betti_ICDCN22} for last-mile delivery, where we have a set of drones with an identical battery budget and a set of delivery locations, along with

Topics of Interest in Women With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
Women with MPN: life‐cycle phases, specific risks, and influencing factors. ABSTRACT Overview Sex and gender have emerged as central modifiers of disease biology, phenotype, and clinical outcomes in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). This review will uniquely highlight issues affecting women with MPN and articulate their relevant determinants ...

HoloMed: A Low-Cost Gesture-Based Holographic [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
During medicine studies, visualization of certain elements is common and indispensable in order to get more information about the way they work. Currently, we resort to the use of photographs -which are insufficient due to being static- or tests in patients, which can be invasive or even risky.

Vehicle Routing Problems for Drone Delivery [PDF]

, 2016
Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, have the potential to significantly reduce the cost and time of making last-mile deliveries and responding to emergencies. Despite this potential, little work has gone into developing vehicle routing problems (VRPs) specifically for drone delivery scenarios.

A Decomposition Approach to Last Mile Delivery Using Public Transportation Systems [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
This study explores the potential of using public transportation systems for freight delivery, where we intend to utilize the spare capacities of public vehicles like buses, trams, metros, and trains, particularly during off-peak hours, to transport packages within the city instead of using dedicated delivery vehicles.
