I do like it when a journals and publishers are proactive and innovative.
It also feels good, as a researcher, that the papers that you write and are published are actually read!
The paper, "Supply Chain Network Operations Management of a Blood Banking System with Cost and Risk Minimization," that I co-authored with my doctoral students, Amir H, Masoumi, and Min Yu, is now one of the most highly downloaded articles in the journal Computational Management Science.
And Springer, the journal's publisher, has made the article available for free download.
Min Yu has received her PhD, since the article was published, and is now an Assistant Professor and Pamplin Fellow at the Pamplin School of Business at the University of Portland in Oregon.
Amir and I also co-authored the paper, Supply Chain Network Design of a Sustainable Blood Banking System,which appears in the book, Sustainable Supply Chains: Models, Methods and Public Policy Implications (2012), T. Boone, V. Jayaraman, and R. Ganeshan, Editors, Springer, London, England, pp 49-72.
In these papers, we use some of the ideas on generalized network models going back to the work that I did on dynamic spatial price equilibrium models with gains and losses with Jay Aronson in which the product flow volumes can change over space and time because of product perishability (losses) or successful investments (gains).

Supernetwork Center Associates will be at the POMS Conference in Chicago
The POMS (Production and Operations Management Society) Annual Conference takes place next week in Chicago, Illinois, April 20-23, 2012.
The theme of this year's conference is Socially Responsible Operations.
The Virtual Center for Supernetworks Center Associates will be well-represented at this conference,
Below is a list of the papers that members of our team will be presenting:
Supply chain network design of a sustainable blood banking system (A. Nagurney and A. H. Masoumi),
A supply chain network oligopoly model for pharmaceuticals under brand differentiation andperishability (A. H. Masoumi, M. Yu, and A. Nagurney),
The influence of technical, market and legislative factors of e-waste flows (F. Toyasaki, T. Wakolbinger, A. Nagurney, and T. Nowak),
Multiproduct humanitarian healthcare supply chains: A network modeling and computationalframework (A. Nagurney, M. Yu, and Q. Qiang),
Global supply chain network competition under exchange rate uncertainty (Z. Liu).
Also, my doctoral student, Amir H. Masoumi, will be taking part in the POMS Doctoral Student Colloquium and Zugang Liu will be taking part in the Emerging Scholars Program. Amir will also be at the mini-conference on Humanitarian Operations and Crisis Management next Thursday in Chicago.
I am sure that the Chicago POMS Conference will be a great success.

University Press Release on Our Blood Supply Chain Research
The University of Massachusetts Amherst has issued a nice press release on our research on blood supply chains.
It is really exciting when theory, modeling, and computations all come together synergistically to contribute to an application that can help humanity.
It is also special when the research is done with students who are passionate about the topic.
The press release: UMass Researchers Seek Improvement in Blood Supply Chain.
Blood is a critical life-saving product that is frequently in scarce supply. Blood service operations are also a key component of the health care system all over the world. The U.S. averages 38,000 blood donations daily, but the supply is frequently two days away from running out. Blood is also perishable and estimates are that 8 percent becomes outdated and goes to waste.
Blood supplies are used in activities other than life-saving emergency care, and have an impact on whether hospitals can perform elective surgery and other non life-threatening procedures. The cost of each unit of blood has also been increasing in recent years, a factor in overall health care costs.
We built a model for a regionalized blood banking system consisting of collection sites, testing and processing facilities, storage facilities, distribution centers, as well as points of demand, which include hospitals.
The paper that describes the modeling and computational framework, co-authored with my doctoral students, Amir H. Masoumi and Min Yu, Supply Chain Network Operations Management of a Blood Banking System with Cost and Risk Minimization, will appear in Computational Management Science.
