Population-Associated Molecular Variation in Histologically Normal Breast Tissue Is Associated with Distinct Baseline Transcriptional States

Population-associated molecular variation in breast tissue may contribute to differences in tissue biology and disease susceptibility. Still, the extent to which such variation is shaped by underlying tissue state remains unclear. We performed a pilot RNA-seq and lipidomic analys...

Getting out of hand: niche construction theory and a multiplicity of handedness

Human handedness shows a stable population-level bias toward right-hand preference, yet this pattern cannot be fully explained by genetic inheritance alone. In this commentary, we argue that niche construction theory provides a framework for understanding handedness as a family o...

The Economic Order Quantity Model for Exponentially Deteriorating Items with Planned Backorders

The basic Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model is appropriate in a wide range of real world situations but it doesn’t account for spoilage, depletion or deterioration that happens to perishable products in the inventory. Exponential deterioration or decay is the case when a consta...
