Impacts of a global energy crisis on supply chain performance, ripple effects, and viability

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We simulate impacts of a global energy crisis on supply chains (SCs). First, we articulate the specific features that frame a global energy crisis as a unique type of SC large‐scale systemic shocks characterized by a long‐term disruption existence, disruption propagations (i.e., the ripple effect), a combination of immediate and delayed ...

Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

“On a tree”, “terrestrial”, or “on the rocks”? Habit diversity in the megadiverse genus Peperomia

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The plasticity of a large proportion of Peperomia species to occupy multiple types of microhabitats is not well documented due to the typically rigid categorization of habitat use. Therefore, the numerical approach presented is methodologically innovative to advance ecological data integration to provide a more realistic visualization of the habitat ...
