Tactical and Strategic Risks From Supply Disruptions in Competing Supply Chains
ABSTRACT Supply chain disruptions can lead to both tactical (i.e., loss of short‐term sales during a disruption) and strategic (i.e., loss of long‐term market share) consequences. We model the impact of a supply disruption on competing supply chains in which two firms compete for a limited backup supply.

A Branch‐and‐Price Algorithm for the Symmetric Electric Traveling Salesman Problem
ABSTRACT The Electric Traveling Salesman Problem (ETSP) is a variant of the well‐known TSP in which an electric vehicle must visit a set of customers minimizing the total cost of its route. The vehicle is assumed to be equipped with a battery of limited capacity that may need to be recharged along the route.

ABSTRACT The GTPase KRAS executes a conformational switch between a GTP‐bound active state and a GDP‐bound inactive state, a process central to oncogenic signaling. However, the structural basis of this switching at the level of residue‐contact organization remains incompletely characterized by traditional binary structural models.

Impact of Packaging and Recycling Systems on Material Recirculation: A Stage‐Decomposition Model
A system‐level view emerges from decomposing recycling into four stages (participation, collection, sorting and process yield), diagnosing constraints and targeting interventions. Cumulative equivalent uses (CEUs) quantify long‐term retention, revealing marginal improvements at high baselines generate disproportionately larger gains than low‐baseline ...

Ensemble reliability and the signal‐to‐noise paradox in ECMWF subseasonal forecasts
We derive a general expression for the ratio of predictable components (RPC) in terms of correlation, spread–error ratio, and total variance ratio. Physical constraints on the admissible solutions (i.e., real‐valued and non‐negative variances) provide a mechanism to identify statistically paradoxical sample combinations of reliability and correlation ...

New views of some invariants associated with the Cartesian 2D velocity gradient tensor
Vorticity and divergence of horizontal flow are fundamental quantities in meteorology; both are linear functions of the four elements of the 2D velocity gradient tensor and both are formally unchanged under coordinate rotation. We explore four quadratic functions of the elements that are geometrically invariant in this sense, finding some novel ...

Optimal Homogeneous ℒp$$ {\boldsymbol{\mathcal{L}}}_{\boldsymbol{p}} $$‐Gain Controller
ABSTRACT Nonlinear ℋ∞$$ {\mathscr{H}}_{\infty } $$‐controllers are designed for arbitrarily weighted, continuous homogeneous systems with a focus on systems affine in the control input. Based on the homogeneous ℒp$$ {\mathcal{L}}_p $$‐norm, the input–output behavior is quantified in terms of the homogeneous ℒp$$ {\mathcal{L}}_p $$‐gain as a ...
