Organizational Structure Dimensions and Their Impact on JVs and Acquisitions
Strategic Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Managers pursuing transformational growth through inorganic routes typically rely on joint ventures and acquisitions, basing their choices on factors such as target availability, risk propensity, and desired control over operations. This paper theorizes that managers can increase the likelihood of success in such transformations by aligning ...

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Residual limb hyperhidrosis (RLH) is a frequent and debilitating condition among lower‐limb prosthetic users. Although aluminium chloride is recommended first‐line for focal hyperhidrosis, its efficacy in RLH has not previously been evaluated in prospective studies.

A Phase‐Field Model for Quasi‐Dynamic Rupture Nucleation and Propagation of In‐Plane Faults
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Computational modeling of faulting processes is an essential tool for understanding earthquake mechanics but remains challenging due to the structural and material complexities of fault zones. The phase‐field method has recently enabled unified modeling of fault propagation and off‐fault damage within a fracture‐mechanics‐based framework ...

Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting
