A Copula Approach to Inventory Pooling Problems with Newsvendor Products [PDF]
This study focuses on the inventory pooling problem under the newsvendor framework. The specific focus is the change in inventory levels when product inventories are pooled. We provide analytical conditions under which an increase (or decrease) in the total inventory levels should be expected.

A Discrete Event Simulation Model for Coordinating Inventory Management and Material Handling in Hospitals [PDF]
For operating rooms (ORs) and hospitals, inventory management of surgical instruments and material handling decisions of perioperative services are critical to hospitals' service levels and costs. However, efficiently integrating these decisions is challenging due to hospitals' interdependence and the uncertainties they face. These challenges motivated

A PERISHABLE INVENTORY MODEL WITH UNKNOWN TIME HORIZON [PDF]
Traditionally, the time (planning) horizon over which the inventory for a particular item will be controlled is often assumed to be known (finite or infinite) and the total inventory cost is usually obtained by summing up the cost over the entire time ...

Loss of proton‐sensing GPR4 reduces tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer
G protein‐coupled receptor 4 (GPR4) is a pH‐sensing receptor activated by acidic pH. GPR4 expression is increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease who are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer. In mouse models, loss of GPR4 attenuated tumor progression. This correlated with increased IL2 and natural killer cell activity.

TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists
TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.
