Household food waste is a major sustainability problem to solve. Smart labels can alleviate the contributing factor of incorrect interpretation expiration date labels. However, so far little research has studied consumer handling practices and perceptions such in context use. We address this through qualitative, asynchronous text-based focus group study with 18 UK smart label early adopter main...

Background: The inventory control practice of deteriorating food products that are subject to an expiration date is a challenging process. Inappropriate leads substantial waste and significant holding purchasing costs. Purpose: This paper aims develop model-based Genetic Algorithm (GA) minimize the Total Annual Inventory Cost (TAIC) function developed explicitly for proposed model. Methodology:...

Limits on Efficient Computation in the Physical World

PURPOSE To compare thin-section computed tomographic (CT) scans obtained during suspended end expiration with helical CT scans obtained during continuous expiration for the assessment of air trapping. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-nine patients with an airway disease were examined with suspended-end-expiration CT after a 6-8-second expiratory maneuver, which was followed with continuous-expirat...

Current practice in value assessment of pharmaceuticals is to include a static price at market launch. Recent publications suggest incorporating dynamic pricing, including changes until patent expiration and genericization post-patent expiration, for chronic disease medications. Predicting actual dynamics difficult because idiosyncrasies the branded drugs. We compare standard approach two scena...
