Abstract: The present disclosure provides the use of sodium octanoate in preparation of a medicine for improving the efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-resuscitation multiple organ dysfunction, and relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparation. The above medicine for improving the efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-resuscitation multiple organ dysfunction comprises the administration of a pharmaceutically effective dose of sodium octanoate. By administering a pharmaceutically effective dose of sodium octanoate that is used for promoting fatty acid oxidation energy supply during systemic ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by cardiac arrest and resuscitation, this medicine can further effectively improve the efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-resuscitation multiple organ dysfunction.

Abstract: A system and method to optimize mass transport vehicle routing based on additional ton-mile cost information are disclosed. In one embodiment, a starting location and a plurality of customer locations associated with a warehouse and a plurality of customers, respectively, are identified. Furthermore, a plurality of pairs of locations is identified using the starting location and plurality of customer locations. Mileage cost information and ton-mile cost information are then dynamically computed for each of the plurality of pairs of locations. In addition, sets of mass transport vehicle routes between the starting location and plurality of customer locations are dynamically determined using the pairs of locations and a number of vehicles to be used. Moreover, trip cost information is computed, in real-time, for each set of mass transport vehicle routes. Also, an optimized set of mass transport vehicle routes is determined, in real-time, using the trip cost information.

Abstract: A system and method for merchandise inventory management to maximize gross margin is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes modeling inventory to maximize gross margin as a function of replenishment of each item in each location based on optimum customer service level. Further, a desired customer service level range is determined. Furthermore, a safety stock level is computed for each customer service level in the determined customer service level range based on supplier information and forecasted future demand. In addition, replenishment quantity is computed for each customer service level in the determined customer service level range based on the computed safety stock level, lost sales information, markdown costs, and economic order quantity. Moreover, gross margin is computed for each customer service level in the determined customer service level range based on the computed replenishment quantity, markdown schedule and other financial information.
