Respiratory Motion Management in Abdominal MRI: Revisiting the Gap Between Technical Advances and Clinical Translation

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inherently slow acquisition speed of MRI makes abdominal imaging highly sensitive to respiratory motion artifacts. Since the early days of MRI, the development of respiratory motion compensation techniques has been an active research topic, and this field has seen substantial progress.

Reconsidering Volume‐Based Drug Procurement Policy: The Consequences of Manufacturers' Optimal Production Planning and Breach Strategies

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impacts of Volume‐Based Procurement (VBP) policies on pharmaceutical supply chains, with a focus on the strategic behaviors of manufacturers. VBP aims to reduce costs and stabilize supplies by centralizing procurement through competition based on volumes and prices.

The Weak Core, Partition‐Based Universal Stability, and Their Risk Associations Through A Partial Order

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are concerned with the stability of a transferable‐utility cooperative (TU) game. First, the concept of core can be weakened so that the blocking of changes is limited to only those with multilateral backings. This principle of consensual blocking, as well as the traditional core‐defining one of unilateral blocking and one straddling in ...

Online Rebate Strategy for a Dual‐Channel Supply Chain

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As online shopping channels become ubiquitous, consumers are faced with a vast number of digital purchasing options. To attract more consumers, many e‐shops utilize cashback websites (CWs) to provide online rebates. This study examines a dual‐channel supply chain, in which the manufacturer sells products through both its own online store and a

Allocation of Indivisible Items With a Common Preference Graph: Minimizing Total Dissatisfaction

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allocating indivisible items among a set of agents is a frequently studied discrete optimization problem. In the setting considered in this work, the agents' preferences over the items are assumed to be identical. We consider a very recent measure for the overall quality of an allocation which does not rely on numerical valuations of the items.

Inferring breeding phenology and reproductive success from the emergence of juveniles in population monitoring

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Phenological shifts caused by climate change are increasingly documented in wild populations. These events may be inferred by examining changes in population abundance and age structure throughout the breeding season, often using citizen science. However, several gaps still limit optimal use of such data.
