Sommario/riassunto

Arsenic, antimony and bismuth, three related elements of group 15, are all found in trace quantities in nature and have interesting biological properties and uses. While arsenic is most well known as a poison - and indeed the contamination of groundwater by arsenic is becoming a major health problem in Asia - it also has uses for the treatment of blood cancer and has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. Antimony and bismuth compounds are used in the clinic for the treatment of parasitic and bacterial infections. Biological Chemistry of Arsenic, Antimony and Bismuth is an es

Sommario/riassunto

This textbook, now in its fourth edition, serves as a comprehensive guide to learning various aspects of risk, encompassing supply chain management, artificial intelligence, and sustainability. It demonstrates a wide range of operations research models that have been successfully applied to enterprise supply chain risk management. Each chapter of the book can function as a standalone module focusing on a specific topic, offering dedicated examples, definitions, and discussion notes. The publication of this book comes at a crucial time when the world is facing increasing challenges from various forms of risk. Events such as Covid-19, the energy crisis, wars, and terrorism in the 21st century have all disrupted supply chains, thus highlighting the critical importance of enterprise risk management. Additional risks, such as financial and technological bubbles, along with concerns surrounding rampant artificial intelligence, contribute to a climate that demands enhanced risk management within organizations.
