Abstract:
Purpose – The information technology (IT) industry has been continuously expanding. This has resulted in promoting outsourcing of work by clients to vendors. Most of the published research has focussed on when clients should start outsourcing, what to outsource, criteria for vendor selection, etc., however the vendor side of the relationship has been mostly ignored. The purpose of this paper is to delve deep into the vendors’ side and what aspects a vendor needs to consider in order to maintain a good relationship with the clients.

Effective vendor management is critical to successful global supply chains, significantly contributing to cost savings, quality enhancement, and operational efficiency. This paper explores the theoretical foundations of vendor management, identifies challenges and opportunities within global supply chains, and examines innovative strategies to enhance vendor management practices. Reviewing existing models and theoretical frameworks, we emphasize the importance of strategic alignment, collaboration, and transparency between businesses and their vendors.

Abstract:
Often physiological studies using mice from one vendor show different outcome when being reproduced using mice from another vendor. These divergent phenotypes between similar mouse strains from different vendors have been assigned to differences in the gut microbiome. During recent years, evidence has mounted that the gut viral community plays a key role in shaping the gut microbiome and may thus also influence mouse phenotype. However, to date inter-vendor variation in the murine gut virome has not been studied. Using a metavirome approach, combined with 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we here comp

Abstract:
It is not uncommon to expect that feedwater heaters will require replacement over their Unit’s service life. In some cases, Unit upgrades, changes in the full range of operation, and the absence of root cause failure analysis can lead to unsuitable replacements. Neglecting these considerations can result in the continuance of similar failures as heaters are either replaced in-kind or not to the extent necessary as dictated by the changes in load and/or how they are operated. The heater technical specification must not only address the obvious issues related to changes in tube material, quality

Abstract:
In this study, the microstructure of IN738LC turbine blades ground by two different vendors was examined. Turbine blades from a grinding vendor reporting the occasional appearance of “linear indications” were evaluated. The indications were found to be grain boundary cracks, some over 1 mm in depth, running perpendicular to the grinding direction. The cracked blades showed signs of surface melting which can be regarded as a prerequisite for grain boundary cracking in the grinding of IN738LC. Blades ground by a different vendor, not reporting grinding problems, were also examined and no surface

Abstract:
This paper explores the everyday realities of taxation in Kinshasa’s markets, which play a crucial role in revenue generation and sustaining the livelihoods of the local population. Understanding market taxation in this context is critical given the plurality of state and non-state institutions and actors which govern markets and engage in revenue extraction. The study draws on qualitative data collected from eight formal, informal, and customary markets in Kinshasa. The research documents the experiences of market vendors, their perceptions of taxation, and how these perceptions shape interac

Abstract:
The goal of the DCE-MRI quantification QIBA Profile version 2.0 is to provide an update from the Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) Quantification profile (version 1.0, dated July 1, 2012) in order to include the use of 3 Tesla (T) MRI and the use of parallel imaging with receiver coil arrays. While many pharmacokinetic models have been described, this QIBA Profile (DCE-MRI Quantification) specifically addresses the physiological parameter Ktrans derived from the Tofts or generalized kinetic model (GKM) (1), which is correlated with the vessel (surface/area product and permeability) and h

Abstract:
The goal of a QIBA Profile is to help achieve a useful level of performance for a given biomarker. The Claim (Section 2) describes the biomarker performance. The Activities (Section 3) contribute to generating the biomarker. Requirements are placed on the Actors that participate in those activities as necessary to achieve the Claim. Assessment Procedures (Section 4) for evaluating specific requirements are defined as needed. This QIBA Profile (MR-based cartilage compositional biomarkers (T1ρ, T2) ) addresses the application of T1ρ and T2 for the quantification of cartilage composition, which c
