We study the performance of a stylized supply chain where two firms, a retailer and a producer, compete in a Stackelberg game. The retailer purchases a single product from the producer and afterward sells it in the retail market at a stochastic clearance price. The retailer, however, is budget constrained and is therefore limited in the number of units that he may purchase from the producer. We...

Bupropion is used clinically to treat depression and to promote smoking cessation. It is metabolized by CYP2B6 to its activemetabolite hydroxybupropion, yet alterations in CYP2B6 activity have little impact on bupropion plasma levels. Furthermore, less than 10%of a bupropion dose is excreted as urinary bupropion and its characterized metabolites hydroxybupropion, threohydrobupropion, and erythr...

The euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus inhabits brackish water estuaries and salt marshes along the eastern coast of North America. These habitats undergo routine fluctuations in salinity, so killifish in their natural environment must dynamically regulate ion balance. This species is known for its exceptional euryhalinity, as it can tolerate salinities ranging from freshwater to nearly...
