Achieving Immanent Organizational Ethics: Managing Paradoxical Tensions in Packaging
ABSTRACT Firms face strategic tensions in packaging materials through their conflicting but complementary social, environmental and economic goals in achieving sustainability. Reducing and repurposing plastics, glass, paper and cardboard in agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture is proving a challenge.

Microtubule Destabilizing Kinesins: A Historical Perspective and Thoughts for the Future
ABSTRACT The microtubule cytoskeleton plays critical roles in multiple cellular processes such as mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. Cells contain a number of microtubule‐associated proteins that regulate microtubule dynamics both temporally and spatially in cells. The microtubule depolymerizing kinesins include members of the Kinesin‐

Fatigue Analysis of Deepwater Hybrid Mooring Line Under Corrosion Effect
In the deepwater exploitation of oil and gas, replacing the polyester rope by a wire in the chain-wire-chain mooring line is proved to be fairly economic, but this may provoke some corresponding problems.

A Dynamic Business Modeling Approach to Port Sustainability: The Western Sicily Port Authority Case
ABSTRACT Ports are critical nodes in global trade and economic development, yet they generate substantial environmental and social externalities—including greenhouse gas emissions, air, noise, and water pollution, and adverse impacts on host communities—that demand integrated and forward‐looking governance.

Abstract Patients with acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) are usually admitted to hospital for management. There is growing interest in delivering intravenous (IV) diuretic therapy at home, in the community or at hospital day‐care units; the safety and effectiveness of outpatient‐based management (OPM) for ADHF has not been established.

Considerations for drug trials in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous condition with potentially serious manifestations. Management has traditionally comprised therapies to palliate symptoms and implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators to prevent sudden cardiac death. The need for disease‐modifying therapies has been recognized for decades.
