Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlobal Supply Chain Risk ManagementMouad Ben-Faress, Abdelmajid Elouadi, Driss GreteteToday’s global supply chain structure and organizations are characterized by high physical volume variation, information and financial flow exchanges with several amount of data from supplier to the final customer, as a consequence of Market changes and customer behavior impacting the supply chain and its different actors. As part of a systematic approach we will start our research by studying … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2019 · 7,653 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConvergence of Renormalization Group Transformations of Gibbs Random FieldFarida Kachapova, Ilias KachapovStatistical mechanics describes interaction between particles of a physical system. Particle properties of the system can be modelled with a random field on a lattice and studied at different distance scales using renormalization group transformation. Here we consider a thermodynamic limit of a lattice model with weak interaction and we use semi-invariants to prove that random fields transformed by renormalization … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,016 accessesView PDFCite

Zabin, Hamzah H. Abu-SittahThe main purpose of this research was to investigate the ability of Oleander plant (Al Defla) tissues to adsorb Methylene Blue (MB) dye from polluted water. The experiments were carried out through batch-adsorption technique to investigate the influence of the following experimental parameters on adsorption process namely, adsorbent quantity, MB initial concentration, adsorbent particles size, ionic strength, pH and temperature. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,004 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Timescale Microscopic Theory for Radiation Degradation of Electronic and Optoelectronic DevicesDanhong Huang, Fei Gao, D.A. Cardimona et al.A multi-timescale hybrid model is proposed to study microscopically the degraded performance of electronic devices, covering three individual stages of radiation effects studies, including ultra-fast displacement cascade, intermediate defect stabilization and cluster formation, as well as slow defect reaction and migration. Realistic interatomic potentials are employed in molecular-dynamics calculations for the first two stages up to 100 ns as well … …Space Science International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2015 · 10,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Criterion for Determining the Ultimate Pullout Capacity of Plate Anchors in Clay by Numerical AnalysisHaixiao Liu, Fangmei Su, Zhou LiThe Ultimate Pullout Capacity (UPC) is an important index in designing and analyzing plate anchors. However, there are still uncertainties in determining the UPC through the load-displacement curves calculated from numerical analysis. The review on the existing criteria for determining the UPC also demonstrates that there has not been a generally accepted criterion and most existing criteria are not only … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Jan 2015 · 8,418 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF KALLAR-COONOOR HILL ROAD STRETCH OF THE NILGIRISP. Nalina, T. Meenambal, R. Sathyanarayan SridharThe stability of slopes is always under severe threats in many parts of Western Ghats, especially in Kallar-Coonoor hill road stretch, causing disruption, loss of human life and economy. To minimize the instability of soil slope in between Kallar-Coonoor, a critical evaluation of roads is required. The stability of slopes depends on the soil shear strength parameters such as Cohesion, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 4 Feb 2014 · 7,406 accessesView PDFCite
