The Keys in Closing

In this paper, we discuss the role of information technology and then propose a conceptual framework of decision making in adopting IT in closed-loop supply chain management. We propose a conceptual framework for IT adoption decision making with four essential key attributes that are evaluated for each of the closed-loop supply chain activities

Adipose tissues (ATs), including visceral ATs (VATs) and subcutaneous ATs (SATs), are crucial for maintaining energy and metabolic homeostasis. SATs have been found to be closely related to obesity and obesityinduced metabolic disease. Some studies have shown a significant association between subcutaneous fat metabolism and sexes.

Vietnam and Thailand are close neighboring countries. The establishment of diplomatic relations in 1976 has paved the way for a good start to the trade relations between Thailand and Vietnam over the past 40 years. This is considered as one of the most significant factors contributing to the growth of trade value between the two countries.

Saxifraga artvinensis V.A.Matthews, which is endemic to Turkey, was discovered on Tiryal Mountain (A8 Artvin, northeastern Turkey). Approximately 175 km from its type locality, a new population of the species was discovered, in the Picea orientalis forest in the Altındere Valley National Park, in A7 Trabzon (northeastern Turkey). A comparison with the known population of S. artvinensis confirmed that this new population represented a new taxon and is described as S. artvinensis subsp. meryemii Terzioğlu & Coşkunç.

The new lichen species Toniniopsis bartakii is described from James Ross Island, the North-East Antarctic Peninsula region. It is phylogenetically most closely related to T. bagliettoana but differs mainly in forming a more developed, squamulose thallus. It is morphologically more similar to T. coelestina but differs mainly in the pigmentation in the proper exciple. An identification key to the known species of Toniniopsis is also provided.

Enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) are demonstrated to be closely associated with tumourigenesis and cancer progression. However, the role of eRNAs in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains largely unclear. Thus, a comprehensive analysis was constructed to identify the key eRNAs, and to explore the clinical utility of the identified eRNAs in LUAD.

Greening the economy involves improving the quality of the environment and tackling climate change, and is a major policy, economic and financial challenge. Key issues that have emerged in this context relate to financing climate change mitigation and adaptation and how to close the financing gap to fund the needed lowcarbon investments.

The genomes of laboratory rat strains are characterised by a mosaic haplotype structure caused by their unique breeding history. These mosaic haplotypes have been recently mapped by extensive sequencing of key strains. Comparison of genomic variation between two closely related rat strains with different phenotypes has been proposed as an effective strategy for the discovery of candidate strain-specific regions involved in phenotypic differences.

Viral populations are complex, dynamic, and fast evolving. The evolution of groups of closely related viruses in a competitive environment is termed quasispecies. To fully understand the role that quasispecies play in viral evolution, characterizing the trajectories of viral genotypes in an evolving population is the key. In particular, longrange haplotype information for thousands of individual viruses is critical; yet generating this information is non-trivial.

Closely related species of the carp family (Cyprinidae) have evolved distinctive abilities to survive under cold stress, but molecular mechanisms underlying the generation of cold resistance remain largely unknown. In this study, we compared transcriptomic profiles of two carp species to identify key factors and pathways for cold tolerance and acclimation.

According to the ASEAN Consumer Survey conducted by HKTDC Research, ASEAN consumers, including those in Thailand, are willing to spend more on better quality products and have a strong sense of personal style. For international brands, Thailand is a key market among the developing Asian countries, not only because of its growing demand from the emerging middle-income class, but also the country’s flourishing tourism sector. Also, Thailand is a South East Asian country with close proximity to Vietnam.

Comparing and aligning genomes is a key step in analyzing closely related genomes. Despite the development of many genome aligners in the last 15 years, the problem is not yet fully resolved, even when aligning closely related bacterial genomes of the same species.

Weighted and un-weighted protein residue networks can predict key functional residues in proteins based on the closeness centrality C and betweenness centrality B values for each residue. A static snapshot of the protein structure, and a cutoff distance, are used to define edges between the network nodes.

The CECL revised accounting standard for credit loss provisioning is intended to represent a forward-looking and proactive methodology that is conditioned on expectations of the economic cycle. In this study we analyze the impact of several modeling assumptions - such as the methodology for projecting expected paths of macroeconomic variables, incorporation of bank-specific variables or the choice of macroeconomic variables – upon characteristics of loan loss provisions, such as the degree of pro-cyclicality.

A key theme in contemporary higher education is how assessment can be constructed so as to maximize opportunities for grownth and meaningful student learning. As each educational system measures learning through multiple and diverse assessments, including formative assessment. In addition, blended learning (B-learning) is developing rapidly in academic. It is one of the ‘hot’ trends of education.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor HER3 (ErbB3), especially in association with its relative HER2 (ErbB2), is known as a key oncogene in breast tumour biology. Nonetheless, the prognostic relevance of HER3 remains controversial. NEDD4–1 and NRDP1 are signalling molecules closely related to the degradation of HER3 via ubiquitination.

Cyclosorus fukienensis Ching (Thelypteridaceae), a new record for the flora of Vietnam, was studied, compared and described. Before, this species only distributed in China (Fujian, North Guangdong, South Hunan, South Jiangxi, South Zhejiang). This species differs from the closely related species Cyclosorus interruptus (Willd.) H. Itô and Cyclosorus acuminatus (Houtt.) Nakai in its shape of the stipe bases, lobed, veinlets, soris, spores.
