Improving Supply Chain Coordination by Linking Dynamic Procurement Decision to Multi-Agent System [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Computing, Volume 2, Issue 4, April 2010, 2010
The Internet has changed the way business is conducted in many ways. For example, in the field of procurement, the possibility to directly interact with a trading partner has given rise to new mechanisms in the supply chain management. One such interactive dynamic procurement, which lets both buyer and seller software agents bid by potential buyer ...

Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Reaction Performance of Niobium–Cobalt Oxide Catalysts in Acidic and Alkaline Media

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The electronic modulation of Nb‐doped Co3O4 catalyst showcases enhanced activity and extended stability for OER in both alkaline (1M KOH) and acidic (0.5M H2SO4) electrolytes. The higher activity emanated from the synergistic effect between the Nb5+ dopant and Co3O4.

Enhanced Epithelial Cell Uptake of Glycol Chitosan‐Coated PLGA Nanoparticles for Oral Drug Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Here, glycol chitosan (GC)‐coated PLGA NPs are developed to enhance oral drug delivery by enabling dual‐pathway endocytosis via clathrin‐ and caveolae‐mediated mechanisms. Alginate layering coating on GC‐PLGA further improves oral insulin delivery, achieving sustained glucose reduction in diabetic mice.

Optimal Procurement Design: A Reduced Form Approach [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Standard procurement models assume that the buyer knows the quality of the good at the time of procurement; however, in many settings, the quality is learned only long after the transaction. We study procurement problems in which the buyer's valuation of the supplied good depends directly on its quality, which is unverifiable and unobservable to the ...

PCSK9 Promotes the Malignancy of Triple‐negative Breast Cancer Cells by Reducing Cholesterol Levels at the Plasma Membrane to Activate EGFR and HER3

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By decreasing cholesterol and lipid raft levels in the plasma membrane, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) boosts human epidermal growth factor receptor 1 and 3 (EGFR and HER3) activation, driving tumor growth and metastasis in triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Inhibition of Aberrant Activated Fibroblast‐Like Synoviocytes in Rheumatoid Arthritis by Leishmania Peptide via the Regulation of Fatty Acid Synthesis Metabolism

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
LACK156‐173 is internalized into RA‐FLSs via CAPN2‐mediated endocytosis and inhibits the aggressive phenotype of RA‐FLSs by restoring dysregulated fatty acid synthesis metabolism mediated by overexpressed FASN. The findings suggest that targeting the restoration of fatty acid metabolism could potentially alleviate synovial invasion and joint damage in ...
