Retraction: Towards sustainable management: Exploring the role of internal monitoring in pollution prevention
Semigroup-theoretic analysis of supply-chain disruptions and resilience
This paper develops a rigorous framework using finite transformation semigroups to model supply-chain state evolution under cascading disruptions and resilience interventions. Disruptions and interven...
GPR37 modulates body weight and insulin sensitivity in a sex-biased manner
Metabolic disorders are a growing public health concern in the United States, with approximately 40% of the population living with obesity. The urgent need for novel therapeutic targets has driven int...
Eliciting health beliefs: Difficulties and solutions
Despite recent progress in the development of incentive-compatible belief elicitation methods, some unique challenges arise when researchers apply some methods to elicit one’s beliefs about their own...
