Supply Chain Risks Analysis of a Logging Company: Conceptual Model

Supply Chains today are vulnerable to uncertainties and risks that might disrupt their operations which could lead to a drastic loss in revenue, competitive advantage and profitability etc, if not managed effectively. This is a concern especially in logging companies where unfavourable weather conditions can hinder the production processes, deliveries and sales etc. This article will analyze the risks the supply chain of a logging company is facing, develop a conceptual model, and translates the conceptual model into a simulation model by exploiting MATLAB. The impact of the risks on the harvesting process is then investigated by utilizing simulation, and the results are discussed to enable the logging company to become well aware of the risks confronting their organization

Demonstration of metastable paragenesis in the process of solid phase interaction in the system of СаО – Al[2]O[3] – SiO[2]

A short characteristic of new type of foreign dental cements Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) for root canal dressing is presented. The results of experimental researchesdealing with the development of the composition and method of producing of the national dental cement of the similar purpose. The effect of modifying additions (CaF2, P2O5, Bi2O3, MgO) on the sintering process of clinkers was studied and the demonstration of metastable paragenesis in the of solid phase interaction in the system CaO – Al2O3 – SiO2 was found. The obtained results provide more reliable designing of the mineralogical composition of cement clinker

Mapping the strand-specific transcriptome of fission yeast

Pervasive genome-wide transcription is widespread in eukaryotic cells, but key features of the transcriptome have yet to be fully characterized. a new study using antibody-based detection of RNA-DNA duplexes on tiling arrays now reveals a complex, strand-specific transcriptional world in fission yeast

POLICING DURING CRISES AND IN AN ERA OF NEW CHALLENGES

On November 24, 2022, Chief Constable Del Manak of the Victoria Police Department presented on Policing During Crises and in an Era of New Challenges. The presentation was followed by a question-and-answer period with questions from the audience and CASIS Vancouver executives. The key points of discussion were the methods of dealing with protests, priorities and issues during protests, the lessons learned during the Ottawa Freedom Convoy protest, and the benefits of collaboration between police agencies.   Received: 2022-12-20Revised: 2022-12-2
