An e-fulfillment system is designed to meet the high order volume and stringent customer service requirements of global business-to-consumer e-commerce. The system converts the traditional warehouse into a multi-channel e-fulfillment center. In the e-commerce environment, some of the toughest decisions must be made on little or no hard information. In this study, the nature of e-business and the typical fulfillment process are discussed. The authors further examine the strategy and operational requirements for e-fulfillment. This article is concluded with the implication of a successful e-fulfillment system, a suggested design of an e-fulfillment center, and the future research focuses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article identifies a class of locally supersoluble groups, called HCAgroups. This class contains the cyclic-by-abelian groups, as well as the nilpotent groups. The main result states that the product of a normal HCA-subgroup and a subnormal locally supersoluble subgroup is always locally supersoluble. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper identifies a certain class of locally supersoluble groups (called soluble hall-T groups) which contains the soluble T-groups as well as the nilpotent groups.

Pulmonary renal syndromes are classically associated with systemic vasculitis and autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and Goodpasture syndrome. The dramatic presentation of pulmonary hemorrhage in conjunction with new onset renal insufficiency as presented in this case naturally led to the search for primary pulmonary renal syndrome. Interestingly, the patient was found to have a new diagnosis of multiple myeloma presenting with symptoms of hemoptysis and acute renal failure. The constellation of pulmonary renal symptoms seen in this case is extremely rare in association with multiple myeloma; specifically, only one other case has been reported with similar presenting symptoms. This article reviews and discusses a case of pulmonary renal syndrome related to multiple myeloma. A review of the current literature of pulmonary renal syndrome in multiple myeloma is also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A post–dural puncture headache is a potential complication of a lumbar puncture. Physicians should be able to readily diagnose and treat this potential complication. Described here is a patient who developed an unresolving post–dural puncture headache that then developed into a subdural hematoma. A subdural hematoma is a rare complication following lumbar punctures. Unresolving headaches following a lumbar puncture should prompt aggressive investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
