A New Framework for Addressing High-level Decisions Related to Sustainable Transportation Development
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Stakeholders in the transportation industry have been concerned with sustainability. However, transportation decision makers have had difficulty in incorporating sustainability into transportation infrastructure decisions ... -
A new horizon in the phosphorylated sites of AGA: the structural impact of C163S mutation in aspartylglucosaminuria through molecular dynamics simulation
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2023 , Article)Aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by insufficient aspartylglucosaminidase (AGA) activity leading to chronic neurodegeneration. We utilized the PhosphoSitePlus tool to identify the AGA ... -
A new LQP alternating direction method for solving variational inequality problems with separable structure
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)We presented a new logarithmic-quadratic proximal alternating direction scheme for the separable constrained convex programming problem. The predictor is obtained by solving series of related systems of non-linear equations ... -
A note on the Ramsey number for small graphs
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article)Problems in the Ramsey theory form a well-known family of mathematical problems. We present the exact value of the Ramsey number R(θ6, W5), where θ6 is the set of theta graphs of order 6 and W5 is the wheel graph of order ... -
A review on the cleavage priming of the spike protein on coronavirus by angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 and furin
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2021 , Article)The widespread antigenic changes lead to the emergence of a new type of coronavirus (CoV) called as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 that is immunologically different from the previous circulating species. ... -
A simplified modal-based method to quantify delamination in carbon fibre-reinforced plastic beam
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)This study contributes to our knowledge about the detection and recognition of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites by using a modal analysis technique. Delamination was artificially induced during the ... -
A simulation-optimisation approach for supply chain network design under supply and demand uncertainties
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)We investigate a three-echelon stochastic supply chain network design problem. The problem requires selecting suppliers, determining warehouses locations and sizing, as well as the material flows. The objective is to ... -
A simulation-optimization approach for the stochastic discrete cost multicommodity flow problem
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2020 , Article)This article addresses a variant of the Discrete Cost Multicommodity Flow (DCMF) problem with random demands, where a penalty is incurred for each unrouted demand. The problem requires finding a network topology that ... -
A single dynamic observer-based module for design of simultaneous fault detection, isolation and tracking control scheme
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)The problem of simultaneous fault detection, isolation and tracking (SFDIT) control design for linear systems subject to both bounded energy and bounded peak disturbances is considered in this work. A dynamic observer is ... -
A systematic mapping review exploring 10 years of research on supply chain resilience and reconfiguration
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article)Supply chain resilience and reconfiguration are emerging disciplines that allow supply chains to recover from events and quickly return to normal or equilibrium levels of operations. This paper aims to provide a systematic ... -
Advances in essential oils encapsulation: development, characterization and release mechanisms
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2023 , Other)Recent developments in micro and nanoencapsulation are promising tools to encounter the different limitations of essential oil formulations, enhance their functionalities, and protect them from the external environmental ... -
