A model to evaluate acquisition price and quantity of used products for remanufacturing
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
In this paper, an analytical model is proposed to evaluate optimal acquisition price and quantity policy based on the quality of returned used products that are subsequently used for remanufacturing. The model is developed ...
Nanofeatures of resorcinol-formaldehyde carbon microspheres
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
Resorcinol-formaldehyde activated carbon xerogels were synthesized at certain conditions, and their morphology was studied experimentally to examine their detailed nature on the nanoscale level, which has not been reported ...
Collective osmotic shock in ordered materials
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2012 , Article)
Osmotic shock in a vesicle or cell is the stress build-up and subsequent rupture of the phospholipid membrane that occurs when a relatively high concentration of salt is unable to cross the membrane and instead an inflow ...
