Under ad libitum conditions, laboratory house mice (Mus domesticus) fragment considerable amounts of pelleted food and leave it scattered in their cages. The proportion of food thus wasted (in relation to food eaten) varies remarkably among individuals, from 2% to 40%, but is highly consistent in consecutive trials, even when the mice were moved from 22 to -10 degrees C and food consumption dou...

An aggregator, which connects retailers banks, plays critical role in ensuring that reaches on time. ...

This study dives deep into a lateral supply chain network for perishable food products and aims to determine optimal re-order order up levels multiple e-groceries within common using simulation-based optimization technique. The algorithm minimize the average inventory carried while accounting parameters like reduced wastage, improved customer satisfaction level, limited number of replenishments.
