Food Supply Chain: A Framework for the Governance of Digital Traceability by Maria Bonaria Lai, Daniele Vergamini, Gianluca Brunori

“…The results show that governance models shape traceability adoption and function. In captive systems (e.g., wine), traceability ensures compliance but limits flexibility, while in modular or relational systems (e.g., pasta and cheese), it fosters product differentiation and decentralized coordination. …”

Capturing the emergent dynamical structure in biophysical neural models. by Borjan Milinkovic, Lionel Barnett, Olivia Carter, Anil K Seth, Thomas Andrillon

“…In our study, functional integration within the biophysical neural model is modulated by a global coupling parameter, while functional segregation is influenced by adding dynamical noise, which counteracts global coupling. …”

Network centrality in perishable food distribution networks in the United States by Michelle Miller, Megan Konar, Hikaru Hanawa Peterson, Christa Court, Sumadhur Shakya, Andrew Stevens

“…Our analysis of US data highlights the importance of certain counties, states, and regions in perishable food networks and illustrates how data and logistics optimization models shape the geography of food. Findings suggest areas where interventions could improve systems’ functions by reducing reliance on core areas, increasing access to markets for farmers, and improving access to food for under-served communities, especially those in rural regions.…”

MODELING OF A DUPLEX MILLER AND CONDITIONS OF FORMATION OF TREATMENT OF WHEEL PAIRS OF MAIN ELECTRIC CARDS, DUAL CARS, ELECTRO SECTIONS by Victor Shapovalov, Alexandr Permyakov, Alexander Klochko

“…It is concluded that the model design of the cutter, taking into account "duplex" and the tribological process of modeling shaping during processing, can increase the resistance of the cutters and ensure the full operation of all cups of the cutter. …”
