A 3D‐Printed Blister Test Platform for Quantifying Biointerface Adhesion Mechanisms

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printed blister platform enables energy‐resolved characterization of soft hydrogel–rigid interfaces. Integrating precision pressure control with hyperelastic modeling directly quantifies adhesion energy (G) and R‐curve toughening. Results reveal that modulating hydrogel concentration and surface roughness drives a tunable transition from cohesive ...

Continent-scale inventory routing instances

, 2023
: This dataset of inventory routing instances is a fruit of our partnership between Renault Group and the CERMICS laboratory at Ecole des Ponts. Those instances are continent-scale with hundreds of customers, 21 days horizon, and 15 depots on average ...

Minimally Invasive Delivery of Optical Nanosensors Using Injectable Hydrogels

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Injectable peptide hydrogels offer a minimally invasive delivery platform for single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)‐based near‐infrared fluorescent sensors, enabling real‐time measurement of drug concentrations. Encapsulated SWCNTs show a dose‐dependent fluorescence response across physiologically relevant concentrations and retain their fluorescence ...

Bridging Boltzmann and Non‐Boltzmann Optical Thermometry Enabled by Multimodal Perovskite Nanocrystals

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Multimodal perovskite nanocrystals enable optical thermometry across multiple excitation and emission regimes, spanning the UV–Vis–NIR spectral range. By combining upconversion, downshifting, and persistent luminescence, the platform bridges conventional Boltzmann and non‐Boltzmann thermometric approaches.

Flood Risk and Logistics Adaptation: A Structural Analysis of Route Choice and Inventory Buffers Among SMEs

Journal of International Business, Economics and Entrepreneurship
Recurring flooding has become a structural operating risk for firms in monsoon-affected regions, yet empirical evidence on how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adapt logistics decisions under such conditions remains limited.

Molecular Appendix Adjusted Architectural Propagations of Red‐Light Controlled Macroscopic Photoactuating Performances

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic chloroazobenzenes, bearing different amino acids as end groups alanine, phenylalanine, and valine, exhibit excellent photoisomerizations. Varying structures of three amino acid groups participate in supramolecular formations and therefore photoinduced morphological transformations via adjusting intermolecular interactions. These interaction

The Robust Two-Echelon Inventory Routing Problem for Vaccine Supply System – A Heuristic Method

Promet (Zagreb)
Vaccine supply chains confront several challenges in guaranteeing security of vaccines from the phase of production to the injection. Thus, it is crucial to construct a robust vaccine supply system that helps store and deliver vaccines safely and ...

A Location-Inventory-Routing Problem in Forward and Reverse Logistics Network Design

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2016
We study a new problem of location-inventory-routing in forward and reverse logistic (LIRP-FRL) network design, which simultaneously integrates the location decisions of distribution centers (DCs), the inventory policies of opened DCs, and the vehicle ...

Cross Kingdom Metabolic Engineering Paradigm Elevating Sustainable Protein Production

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the dual crisis of escalating global protein demand and unsustainable agriculture necessitates transformative solutions. Here, we pioneer evolutionary insights from maize nitrogen optimization via asparagine synthetase (ASNS) to rewire metabolism in Pichia pastoris.
