Insights on Partial Information Sharing in Supply Chain dynamics
2015
This paper provides an assessment of partial Information Sharing (IS) in Supply Chain (SC). We study the dynamics of collaborative multi-echelon structure, characterized by an increasing level of information visibility among partners. To do so, we mathematically model six four-echelon serial SCs via difference equations and conduct numerical simulations on the basis of a robust design of experiment. Results shows how (1) as the extent of IS increases, the performance of whole SC improves as well, and (2) the impact of IS depends not on which particular members are involved but on the number of collaborative members.
The effect of inventory record inaccuracy in information exchange supply chains
2015
Abstract The goal of this paper is to quantify the impact of Inventory Record Inaccuracy on the dynamics of collaborative supply chains, both in terms of operational performance (i.e. order and inventory stability), and customer service level. To do so, we model an Information Exchange Supply Chain under shrinkage errors in the inventory item recording activity of their nodes, present the mathematical formulation of such supply chain model, and conduct a numerical simulation assuming different levels of errors. Results clearly show that Inventory Record Inaccuracy strongly compromises supply chain stability, particularly when moving upwards in the supply chain. Important managerial insights…
Innocampus Explora: Nuevas formas de comunicar ciencia
2019
[EN] Innocampus Explora aims to show the students of the Burjassot-Paterna campus of the Universitat de València how the different scientific degrees are interrelated. To do this we propose activities in which students and teachers work together to cover the interdisciplinary nature of science, both in everyday and professional issues. Throughout this course the activities developed relate to new ways to communicate science. With the development of this project we contribute to a transversal quality education for all the participating students.
Una experiencia de aprendizaje servicio interciclo: Relaciones interorganizacionales y orientación de carrera
2021
[EN] This service learning collaboration combines community service with academic learning. With that purpose, a collaboration network was created between the University of Valencia and Escola Gavina, a preschool, primary and secondary school. The objective was twofold, first, it attempts to give postgraduate students the opportunity to carry out a diagnostic of the inter-organizational relations of Escola Gavina. This objective is pursued through collaboration between different entities, which is one of the basis of service learning. Inter-organizational relationships are crucial in today’s society, they are becoming more frequent, and allow some organizations to achieve objectives that wo…
CO2 and CH2 Adsorption on Copper-Decorated Graphene: Predictions from First Principle Calculations
2022
Calculations were performed using Latvian Super Cluster (LASC), located in Center of Excellence at Institute of Solid State Physics, the University of Latvia, which is supported by European Union Horizon2020 Framework Programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under Grant Agreement No. 739508, project CAMART2. The authors would like to express their gratitude for funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 768789 (CO2EXIDE project). In the last stage of investigation and during the preparation of the publication, the authors were assisted by the postdoc D.B. with his own funding from project No. 1.1.1.2/VIAA/l/16/147 (…
An experimentalist point of view on quantitative elaboration of theoretical models
1980
Abstract In a number of problems of solute–solute–solvent interaction, information on the geometrical structure of solvent in the near neighborhood of solute is now available. This was obtained from a variety of experiments as well as from numerical calculations. The present trend in computer simulation as well as an experimental techniques seems to appropriately be towards an extension of this information to include thermal disorder. Despite these efforts, other aspects of solute–solute–solvent interaction do not seem likely to find exhaustive answers through a study of the geometrical configurations of solvent molecules around the solute. More detailed calculations of inter- and intra-mol…
Sequestering ability of some chelating agents towards methylmercury(II).
2013
A study on the interactions between CH3Hg+ and some S, N and O donor ligands (2-mercaptopropanoic acid (thiolactic acid (H2 TLA)), 3-mercaptopropanoic acid (H2 MPA), 2-mercaptosuccinic acid (thiomalic acid (H3 TMA)), d,l-penicillamine (H2 PSH), l-cysteine (H2 CYS), glutathione (H3 GSH), N,N′-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1-4-diaminobutane (spermine (SPER)), 1,2,3,4,5,6-benzenehexacarboxylic acid (mellitic acid (H6 MLT)) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (H4 EDTA)) is reported. The speciation models in aqueous solution and the possible structures of the complexes formed are discussed on the basis of potentiometric, calorimetric, UV spectrophotometric and electrospray mass spectrometric results. For t…
Study of AOT-stabilized microemulsions of urea dispersed in carbon tetrachloride
2003
Measurements of some physico-chemical properties (density, viscosity, permittivity) of the urea/sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)/CCl4 system as a function of the volume fraction of the dispersed phase (0<Φ<0.7) at various urea to AOT molar ratio (Rurea) have been carried out at 25 °C. The experimental data analysis are consistent with the hypothesis that urea is entrapped as small-size molecular clusters within the hydrophilic core of the AOT reversed micelles and that this structure is preserved well above a threshold Φ value where a percolative transition occurs. Besides, X-ray diffraction spectra of samples at Φ=1, obtained by complete evaporation under vacuum of the apolar …
Implant insertion torque value in immediate loading : a retrospective study
2019
Background The aim of this study is to verify if the Insertion Torque Value (ITV) of 32 Ncm for immediate loading protocol (ILP), as indicated by literature, is still, with the advance in implant research, a real significant cut-off for long-term implant survival. Material and Methods In this retrospective study, data from 224 patients that during three years of clinical practice, were submitted to the insertion of 322 implants with immediate loading protocol, have been recorded, pooled and analyzed. Data were organized based on Insertion Torque Value (ITV): > 32 Ncm (CG) and 32 Ncm are still characterized by a lower crestal bone resorption, there are no statistically significant difference…
The Role of Fraudulent Transfer Rules in Corporate Insolvency
2008
"The article is based on a lecture given by the author in Paris on the 12. October 2007 in the context of a Symposium devoted to corporate insolvency law. It deals with the role of fraudulent transfer rules in company law. The research is carried out on the field of comparative and European law. It therefore starts from a stipulative definition of [UTF-8?]“fraudulent transfer [UTF-8?]rules†which excludes preferences (even if they belong to the matter, in some legal systems) but includes the regulations aimed at subordinating [UTF-8?]shareholders’ loans. The paper demonstrates that the different [UTF-8?]“fraudulent transfer [UTF-8?]rules†adopted by principal EU Member States conver…
