Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting

Online Rebate Strategy for a Dual‐Channel Supply Chain

Naval 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

Self‐Service and Home Delivery Combined: Coordinating the Route of a Mobile Parcel Locker With the Delivery Tasks of Its Human Driver

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to the increasing volume of parcels, last‐mile delivery innovations are exploring the integration of multiple delivery modes. The most prominent examples are delivery vans that, next to being the base for the delivery tasks of their human drivers, also function as mobile launching platforms for drones or autonomous delivery robots.

Ecological significance of fruit displays in Myrtaceae: relationship between fruit colour, maturation stage, attractiveness and seed germination

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fruit colour has long fascinated scientists and is widely considered an evolutionary adaptation to attract both avian and mammalian frugivores. While fleshy fruits play a key role in plant–animal interactions by promoting seed dispersal, the functional significance of colour variation, particularly multicoloured displays during ripening, remains poorly

Assessing relational values of sacred landscapes through text mining of folktales: Insights from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Assessing relational values of nature through its cultural and spiritual significance is crucial for effective nature conservation. Folktales offer insights into traditional relationships between people and nature, and text mining is a powerful tool for extracting information from textual datasets.

Comparative Evaluation of Structure–Processing–Property Relationships in Flax, Hemp, and Cattail Discontinuous fiber Thermoset Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Needle punching reorients fibers from in‐plane direction toward z‐direction of the web, resulting in mechanical interlocking of fibers and reduction in the nonwoven mat thickness. ABSTRACT Replacement of glass fiber mats, utilized in large and complex composite parts in the transportation industry, with natural fiber mats requires knowledge of natural ...

Proteomic Profiling Using a Proximity Extension Assay Panel on Serum Samples Stored at −25°C Over Several Decades

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The advent of proteomics assays that provide accurate levels of thousands of proteins from relatively small sample volumes opens possibilities for biomarker research in biobanks with valuable samples. In this study, we leverage the applicability of the Olink proximity extension assay to profile serum samples of the Janus Serum Bank, which have
