Introduction. Bacteriophage contains a linear doublestranded DNA genome enclosed within an icosahedral capsid of triangulation number T 7, and a flexible, non-contractile, tail. It has been adapted for phage display, providing a valuable alternative to filamentous phages. As a lytic phage, the phage coat is directly assembled in the cytoplasm, and does not pass through the secretion machinery a...

Sometimes, the best available information about an uncertain future is a single forecast. On the other hand, stochastic-programming models need future data in the form of scenario trees. While a single forecast does not provide enough information to construct a scenario tree, a forecast combined with historical data does—but none of the standard scenario-generation methods is suited to handle t...
