Block scheduling in practice: An optimal decomposition strategy for nonidentical operating rooms

Decision Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop and implement a Master Surgery Schedule for a real‐life hospital, assigning operating room (OR) time to surgical specialties over a multi‐week horizon. Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,

Navigating Inter‐Municipal Collaboration Challenges: 'In‐Tensions' in Shared Service Center and Joint Venture Arrangements

Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Municipal collaborations such as shared service centers and joint ventures are widely promoted as ways to strengthen local service capacity. Yet they often develop in uneven and sometimes unstable ways. This paper examines why arrangements built on similar institutional promises take such different trajectories in practice.

Mapping High‐TDS Groundwater Near Impoundments Using Ground and Waterborne Towed Electromagnetics

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐term monitoring at landfills and impoundments containing coal combustion products (CCPs) or other industrial wastes is essential for detecting possible leachate releases to groundwater and mapping contamination plumes. This study evaluates a novel, non‐invasive geophysical approach—towed time‐domain electromagnetic (TEM) surveys—for non ...

Facilitated Transport of Organic Contaminants in a High Concentration, Multicomponent Plume

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract A field experiment evaluated the transport of organic contaminants in a plume from hazardous waste disposal areas at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The plume contained many xenobiotic contaminants, with widely varying expected mobilities.

Neglected Floral Visitors in the Galapagos Islands: Understanding the Structure of Ant‐Flower Interaction Networks

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ant‐flower interactions are prevalent in many ecosystems, yet their ecological significance remains poorly understood, particularly in isolated systems like the Galapagos Islands, where unique biotic assemblages create distinct interaction networks.

Additively manufactured water‐washable resin dies cleaned with nonhazardous solutions: Can dimensional and positional trueness be ensured?

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the dimensional and positional trueness of additively manufactured (AM) removable dies in water‐washable (WW) resins and cleaned using different post‐processing solutions (98% isopropyl alcohol [IPA], methyl ether solvent [MES], and water).
