Health sector is a significant source of carbon emissions around the world. Today healthcare industries are looking for solutions to reduce carbon emissions associated with their operations. Operational adjustments, such as modifications in inventory strategies, have proven to be an effective way to decrease emissions. This paper offers optimal inventory strategies for healthcare system to achieve target customer service level while minimizing system total cost and carbon emissions.

The Health Preservation and Longevity The prolongation of life span achieved in recent decades is triumph of modern medicine. The lead challenge now is to promote healthy lifespan along with reducing incidence and severity of chronic and degenerative diseases, and the morbid frailty associated with later years. The host-microbiota interactions can be viewed in the broader context of genetic and epigenetic concepts. The lifestyle changes including dietary alterations accompanying aging have impact on gut microbiota and the activity of the innate immune system, intern, is influenced by gut microbiota. The gut microbiota also modulates cardiometabolic and inflammatory processes, thus influencing aging process. There is evidence that optimal CR along with adequate nutrition can reduce adiposity, chronic inflammation and insulin resistance, and promote health and quality of life along with satisfactory level of activity of daily living (ADL) in older adults. Further, as documented by recent research, the loss of gut microbiota diversity occurs during later years and modulates aging process adversely. The loss of core microbiota diversity with advancing age, has been associated with increased frailty and degenerative diseases along with cognitive decline. Diet-microbiota-health interactions and the lifestyle changes including dietary alterations accompanying aging have impact on gut microbiota. Since the gut microbiota modulates cardiometabolic and immunological processes, the microbiota alterations with aging mean that older adults may experience accelerated aging-related health loss. Further, the age-associated alterations in composition, diversity and functional aspects of gut microbiota have been related to age-associated decline in immune system functioning (immunosenescence) and low-grade chronic inflammation (inflam-aging), which accompany various aging-associated pathologies. The gut microbiota has crucial impact on aging process, and as documented by recent studies the microbiota-targeted interventions for normalization of gut microbiota may have health-span-promoting effects. The CR with adequate nutrition and microbiota-targeted dietary and probiotic, prebiotic and symbiotic interventions are likely to favourably modulate the host health and aging process by enhancement of antioxidant activity, suppression of chronic inflammation and improvement of immune homeostasis and cardiometabolic profile.

The mechanical properties of living cells are governed by the cytoskeleton, a network consisting of many different biopolymers together with transient linker proteins [1]. Biopolymers, especially those composed of globular proteins, are known to be semiflexible, that is the persistence length of these filaments is often comparable to their contour length, leading to small, yet significant, thermal fluctuations around a straight conformation and ultimately resulting in mechanical properties far from those exhibited by synthetic materials made of highly flexible polymers [2]. Theoretically, it remains a great challenge to understand/predict how a semiflexible filament network behave because of its many-body nature as well as the coupled elastic and entropic effects involved. For this reason, there has been a growing interest in the direct simulation on computer-generated networks in recent years. Here, we briefly review various continuum-level simulation approaches that have been developed in the past few decades.

Lignin, a major component of plant cell wall, acts as a protective matrix and limits microbial degradation of cellulose and hemi-celluloses which are readily degraded by microbes [1]. Heterogenous and complex structure of lignin macro-molecule which is due to random coupling of three monomers makes it resistant to microbial degradation and hence a rate limiting step in organic matter decomposition [2-5]. Formation of thatch layer in turfgrass systems is accelerated when organic matter accumulation rate exceeds its degradation rate. Excessive thatch layer accumulation leads to physical conditions in thatch which are detrimental to turfgrass [6]. Cultural management practices such as core aeration, vertical mowing, and grooming are destructive in nature and adversely impact turf quality.

Skin diseases are one of the most ubiquitous health problems, affecting 1 in 5 persons in the UK and 1 in 3 in the US, but there are large differences between countries, climates and cultures [1]. The highest prevalence has been reported from developing countries and poor areas. In the mountainous region of northern India, the overall prevalence is 45.3%5, while, in rural Sumatra, it is 28.2%. In Africa, reported prevalence (Figure 1) vary between 11.7% in Bamako, Mali, to 48% in rural Ethiopia. The published prevalence figures in children are also high, 32% in Kenya, 34% in Mali, 31.3% in Hong Kong and 38.8% in northern India.
