Pediatric primary care providers report a lack of skills and training to treat child mental health problems. Interventions to improve primary care mental health services for children have largely focused on specific disorders. This article reports the outcomes of a brief training program for...

Environmental issues are a growing priority in supply chain management, which has heightened the interest in remanufacturing. A key attribute of a remanufacturing strategy is the division of labor in the reverse channel, especially whether the remanufacturing should be performed in-house or...

To use unicellular microalgae to remove waste nutrients from brewery wastewater while converting them into algal biomass has been explored but high-cost treatment and low-value biomass associated with current technologies have prevented this concept from further attempts. In this study, a...

The interdependence between multiple lines of business has an important impact on determining loss reserves and risk capital, which are crucial for the solvency of a property and casualty (P&C) insurance company. In this work, we introduce the two-stage inference method using the Sarmanov family...

A key attribute of a remanufacturing strategy is the division of labor in the reverse channel, especially whether remanufacturing is performed in-house or outsourced. We investigate this decision for a retailer who accepts returns of a remanufacturable product. Our formulation considers the cost...

This paper analyses and provides insights into the time buffer size of a capacity constrained resource (CCR) with multiple parallel processes in the context of the Theory of Constraints (TOC). We describe the CCR as a finite multi-server queue, where the appropriate capacity size (including the...

This study proposed a new concept of “co-processing” waste activated sludge with low organic content (WAS-LOC) with peroxysulfate and environmentally friendly nanoscale zero-valent iron (Fe0). Fe0, peroxysulfate, and the combination of peroxysulfate with Fe0(co-processing) were added to...
