PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine when and how organizations build big data analytics capability to improve supply chain agility and gain competitive advantage. Design/methodology/approachWe grounded our theoretical framework in two perspectives the dynamic capabilities view (DCV) and contingency theory (CT). To test our research hypotheses, we gathered 173 usable-responses using a...

This case suggests that initiation of HCV therapy immediately after liver transplantation with well-tolerated, all-oral regimens may achieve a virologic cure in HCV-positive recipients, thus preventing post-transplant HCV recurrence and associated disease progression. This strategy may broaden utilization of HCV-positive donor livers, potentially including HCV-negative transplant recipients.

11 Deciding where to eat and raise offspring carries important fitness consequences for all 12 animals, especially if foraging, feeding and reproduction increase the risk of exposure to 13 pathogens. In insects with complete metamorphosis, foraging occurs mainly during the larval 14 stage, while oviposition decisions are taken by adult-stage females. Selection for infection 15 avoidance behavio...

BACKGROUND The Drosophila C virus (DCV) is a common and well-studied Drosophila pathogen. Although natural infections are known from Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans, and artificial infections have been reported from several Drosophila species and other insects, it remains unclear to date whether DCV infections also occur naturally in other Drosophila species. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDING...

The Common Vector (CV) method is a successful method which has been originally proposed for isolated word recognition problems in the case where the number of samples for each class is less than or equal to the dimensionality of the sample space. This method suggests elimination of all the features that are in the direction of the eigenvectors corresponding to the nonzero eigenvalues of the cov...

Two new dicyanovinyl (DCV) functionalized triarylboranes (Mes2B-π-spacer-DCV, for 1: π-spacer = C6H4, for 2: π-spacer = 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-phenyl) are reported. The molecular structures of 1 and 2 are similar except for the spacer which connects the boryl and DCV units. This small structural perturbation induces drastic changes in the optical properties of 1 and 2. Compound 2 shows weak dual f...

PURPOSE To identify the diagnostic content validity of Sedentary Lifestyle and to identify the expert nurse profile in validating this nursing diagnosis in the Spanish cultural context. METHODS Fehring's Diagnostic Content Validity (DCV), the factorial validity of the defining characteristics, the analysis of convergent validity, and the expert profile were assessed. FINDINGS The DCV index ...

Arboviral diseases have a high incidence in Brazil and constitute serious public health problem. Rocio virus (ROCV) is an arbovirus belonging to the family Flaviviridae. It was responsible for emergence of outbreak encephalitis on São Paulo state coast late 1970s. Although no recent case this has been reported, data suggest circulation ROCV throughout Brazilian territory. Given these indication...
