Product Pricing And Return Refund Strategy In Two Layer Supply Chain, Abhijit Barman, Hiren Lekhadiya, Subhajit Giri, Tushar Mandanaka

Conference Articles

In the current situation of globalization, many businesses have adopted and implemented supply chain strategies, especially as their operations become more worldwide. Management of corporate operations over extensive supply chains is becoming increasingly important. Product recycling and product return policy are sustainable strategies to reduce environmental and economic deterioration. Additionally, to increase product sales with customer satisfaction, a return refund strategy is an essential strategy for a business organization in a competitive market. In this research, we have developed a manufacturer-retailer two-layer supply chain model with a return-refund strategy. We have formulated price and refund amounts dependent on demand for …

Carers Of The Care-Seekers: The Lived Experiences Of Primary Caregivers Of Patients With Stroke, Blaise B. Nieve

Theses

This phenomenological study was designed to develop an understanding of the lived experiences of the primary caregivers of patients with stroke to discover what their experiences are as partakers of the burden of stroke, and to know how these experiences mean to them. Participants were selected purposively, and was limited to caregivers who were at least 18 years old, and who have been a caregiver for at least 6 months. The stroke patients were those who have had stroke for at least 6 months, and are living with some form of disability. Data gathering done through in-depth interview was conducted …

Transdocunet: A Transformer-Based Unet Architecture For Degraded Document Image Binarization, Risab Biswas, Soumik Sarkhel, Swalpa Kumar Roy, Umapada Pal

Conference Articles

The enhancement of historical document images is critical for improving the quality and legibility of scanned or captured document images. Convolutional-based techniques previously generated competitive results for document image binarization, however, due to their inherent locality, these models are often limited in explicitly expressing long-range dependency. Transformers (ViT) have evolved as an alternative design with a global self-attention mechanism to tackle this issue, however, they can result in restricted localization capabilities due to a lack of low-level details. To address this problem, we propose TransDocUNet, a CNN-Transformer hybrid UNet architecture for document image binarization that merits both attention and convolution …

Data In 'Development At The University Of North Dakota Of A Digital Thermosonde Instrument For The Study Of Atmospheric Optical Turbulence (C_N^2)', Blake T. Sorenson, David J. Delene

Datasets

A thermosonde, an instrument that measures very high resolution temperature difference between two fine-wire platinum thermocouples, was attached to a weather balloon and lifted through the atmosphere, collecting observations of optical turbulence, in the spring of 2018 and 2019. The thermosonde collected raw temperature difference measurements, while an onboard Graw DFM-09 radiosonde observed standard meteorological parameters (temperature, air pressure, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, and altitude). The Graw meteorological observations are housed in the .txt files, while the raw radiosonde data (containing the raw, encoded thermosonde measurements) are housed in the .gsf files. The decoded voltage and temperature difference …

Fluorescent Peptide For Detecting Factor Xiiia Activity And Fibrin In Whole Blood Clots Forming Under Flow, Yue Liu, Jennifer Crossen, Timothy J. Stalker, Scott L. Diamond

Cardeza Foundation for Hematologic Research

Background

During clotting, thrombin generates fibrin monomers and activates plasma-derived transglutaminase factor (F) XIIIa; collagen and thrombin-activated platelets offer thrombin-independent cellular FXIIIa (cFXIIIa) for clotting. Detecting fibrin on collagen and tissue factor surfaces in whole blood clotting typically uses complex reagents like fluorescent fibrinogen or antifibrin antibody.

Objectives

We want to test whether the peptide using the α2- antiplasmin crosslinking mechanism by FXIIIa is a useful tool in both monitoring FXIIIa activity, and visualize and monitor fibrin formation, deposition, and extent of crosslinking within fibrin structures in whole blood clots formed under flow.

Methods

We tested a fluorescent peptide derived …

Analysis Of Online Platforms’ Free Trial Strategies For Digital Content Subscription, Li Chen

College of Business and Economics

Adopting subscription models has become a popular trend in e-commerce. Digital content platforms often use free trials to attract potential subscribers. However, rigorous research on platforms’ free trial strategies is lacking. Our paper aims to fill this gap using a horizontal duopoly framework. We investigate both the scenario of market symmetry and of market asymmetry. We study the benchmark case with no free trial for each scenario and derive equilibrium results with free trial promotion. We find that the platform will not benefit from free trials unless consumers’ learning rate exceeds a threshold. When a free trial is introduced in …

What’S In A Word? A Study Of Emotional Valence, Trisha Patel, Cameron Smith, Olivia Williams, Raul Rodriguez-Calva

Science University Research Symposium (SURS)

Cognitive stress affects humans mentally and physically, and specifically may impact emotional recognition. Previous studies have focused on the perceived emotional valence of nouns vs. adjectives and the emotional recognition of photographs. While this has led to the creation of an emotional valence database, there has yet to be a study to explore how stress can change perceived emotional valence. Using data from the Affective Norms for English Words (ANEW), the Portland Arithmetic Stress Test (PAST), and the Montreal Imaging Stress Task (MIST), a study was created to explore how participants emotional valence of words would change after being placed …

Probiotic Intervention Does Not Affect Recovery Of Hippocampal Memory Following Disruption From High-Fat Diets In Adult Female Rats, Trisha Patel, Cameron Smith

Science University Research Symposium (SURS)

High-fat diets are prevalent in the United States and other countries, contributing to potential health concerns. Previous research has shown that foods with high-fat levels can lead to deficits in spatial memory and alter the hippocampus, a brain area important for spatial learning and memory. Research has also shown that memory deficits can be improved and sometimes restored by increasing the levels of probiotic intake while consuming a high-fat diet. In a previous experiment, adult female rats were fed a high-fat diet and showed spatial memory impairments. The rats were then reverted back to a control, low-fat diet and split …
