Modeling the evolution of a primitive supply chain. by Tay, Darrell Jiajie.

“…By allowing the system to evolve in a way postulated by the Reformulated 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (Schneider and Kay, 1994), we inspected the end state energy of the primitive supply chain for different types of evolution. We find that contrary to mature supply chains, primitive supply chains is less affected by information sharing due to a high level of symmetric information shared. …”

Web-based collaborative working environment by Ong, Rong Hui

“…Despite the various study carried out to determine the effects collaborative environment has on concurrent operation, in particular, the combined-effect of concurrent operations, studies have not pointed out the problems which may arise from a having more than two collaborators. This paper aims to find out the combined-effects concurrency across different cloud storages in a collaborative environment, and to devise a benchmarking mechanism suitable for use. …”

Digest: islands promote population differentiation in dispersive swallows by Estandía, A, Merino Recalde, N

“…Broyles and Myers sequence the genomes of almost 150 individuals from the island-dwelling Pacific swallow (<i>Hirundo tahitica</i>) and its continental counterpart, the welcome swallow (<i>H. neoxena</i>). They find strong population structure only among island populations and attribute this to a behavioral reduction in dispersal propensity following island colonization. …”
