Flexible parcel delivery to automated parcel lockers: models, solution methods and analysis

EURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics, 2019
In this study, we introduce a logistic model for the delivery of small parcels to a set of service points (SPs), and we present effective methods for solving it. In the traditional delivery model, each recipient specifies a single location at which they wish to receive the parcel; however, when SPs are used, many recipients may have no strong ...

GelMA‐based 3D spheroids recapitulate transcriptomic and functional hallmarks of myeloid sarcoma

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
GelMA 5% hydrogels support the formation of myeloid leukemia spheroids that recapitulate MS‐specific features, including G1 arrest, apoptosis, and ECM‐driven transcriptomic reprogramming. The 3D model mimicked soft‐tissue‐like stiffness and oxygen conditions, and transcriptomic convergence with primary MS samples confirmed its utility as a preclinical ...
