The challenge of assessing the effects of drifting fish aggregating devices on the behaviour and biology of tropical tuna

Amaël Dupaix, Frédéric Ménard, John D. Filmalter, Yannick Baidai, more

Fishers have intensively used drifting fish aggregating devices (DFADs) over the last three decades to facilitate their catch of tropical tunas. DFADs increase purse‐seine efficiency, potentially increasing tuna fishing mortality. They could also have impacts on tuna natural mortality and reproductive potential, and assessing the consequences of their presence at sea on tuna populations is a challenge...

Rural Residence, Motorcycle Access, and Contraception Use in South and Southeast Asia^☆

Jonathan A. Muir, Scott R. Sanders, Hannah Z. Hendricks, Michael R. Cope

Rural Sociology > 89 > 1 > 40 - 62

Access to contraception is critical for limiting fertility. Yet, in South and Southeast Asia, access to these resources is often limited by spatial inequalities between rural and urban areas. Access to a motorcycle may empower women living in rural areas to attenuate these spatial inequalities, increase their educational attainment and participation in labor markets, and thereby facilitate a shift...

Exploring Longitudinal Industry‐Level Large Truckload Driver Turnover

Jason W. Miller, Yemisi Bolumole, William A. Muir

Journal of Business Logistics > 42 > 4 > 428 - 450

Driver turnover remains a pervasive challenge for truckload (TL) motor carriers. For more than two decades, carriers in this segment have faced the deleterious effects brought on by a persistently high driver turnover rate, including increased costs, decreased productivity, and the erosion of safety performance. In light of these issues, logistics scholars have conducted numerous driver‐level and...

Utilizing multimodal analgesia to evaluate postoperative analgesic requirements in kidney transplant recipients

Michele A. Muir, Kristen R. Szempruch, Robert Dupuis, Alexander H. Toledo, more

Clinical Transplantation > 35 > 4 > n/a - n/a

The use of non‐opioid analgesics following surgery has proven beneficial in managing pain and decreasing adverse outcomes following surgery. Data assessing outcomes related to opioid use is limited in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). We evaluated the effectiveness of implementing a reduced to no opioid use protocol in KTRs. This retrospective cohort study included adult KTRs between January 2017...

The Effect of Truckload Driver Turnover on Truckload Freight Pricing

Jason W. Miller, William A. Muir, Yemisi Bolumole, Stanley E. Griffis

Journal of Business Logistics > 41 > 4 > 294 - 309

High rates of truck driver turnover have long plagued the full truckload (TL) sector. While greater driver turnover raises TL carriers’ costs, no research has examined how changes in industry‐wide TL driver turnover rates affect industry‐wide prices shippers pay for TL transportation. Drawing on economic theory regarding firms’ asymmetric adjustment of prices in response to changing costs, we explain...

A New Perspective on Returns to Scale for Truckload Motor Carriers

Jason W. Miller, William A. Muir

Journal of Business Logistics > 41 > 3 > 236 - 258

Understanding how motor carriers' size affects their productivity (e.g., miles per power unit) is of fundamental importance to carrier managers, shippers, and investors, because the nature of this relationship should influence carriers' strategies with regard to growth. In the truckload (TL) sector, the prevailing assumption is that TL carriers face constant returns to scale such that productivity...

Modulation of RECK levels in Xenopus A6 cells: effects on MT1-MMP, MMP-2 and pERK levels

Jessica A. Willson, Bradley S. Bork, Carlie A. Muir, Sashko Damjanovski

Journal of Biological Research-Thessaloniki > 2019 > 26 > 1 > 1-10

Background MT1-MMP is a cell-surface enzyme whose regulation of pro-MMP-2 and ERK activation position it as a key facilitator of ECM remodelling and cell migration. These processes are modulated by endogenous MMP inhibitors, such as RECK, a GPI-anchored protein which has been shown to inhibit both MT1-MMP and MMP-2 activity. Our previous studies have revealed a link between MT1-MMP levels, and pro-MMP-2...

Strategic Purity and Efficiency in the Motor Carrier Industry: A Multiyear Panel Investigation

William A. Muir, Jason W. Miller, Stanley E. Griffis, Yemisi A. Bolumole, more

Journal of Business Logistics > 40 > 3 > 204 - 228

Two questions facing motor carrier managers are (1) whether carriers should specialize in providing full truckload (TL) or less‐than‐truckload (LTL) services vis‐à‐vis offering mix of both and (2) whether this decision is contingent on carrier size. Yet, the literature provides little guidance because research to date has offered contradictory theoretical predictions and inconsistent empirical findings...

CryoSat-2 swath interferometric altimetry for mapping ice elevation and elevation change

N. Gourmelen, M.J. Escorihuela, A. Shepherd, L. Foresta, more

Advances in Space Research > 2018 > 62 > 6 > 1226-1242

For more than 25 years, satellite radar altimetry has provided continuous information on the state of the cryosphere and on its contribution to global sea-level rise. The technique typically delivers maps of ice-sheet elevation and elevation change with 3–10 km spatial resolution and seasonal to monthly temporal resolution. Here we show how the interferometric mode of CryoSat-2 can be used to map...
