Smuggling of Migrants as an Influential Factor on National Security, Economic and Social Life

Human trafficking and smuggling of migrants are criminal activities, which are on the rise over recent years. The number of legal migrants arrived in Europe from outside the European Union are far less than those who want to come and settle in Europe. The objective of this paper is to present the impact on economic and social life of significant measures influencing the smuggling of migrants. T...

Smuggling Taxol into cancer cells

Some cancer cells evade chemotherapy by expressing cell membrane pumps to expel toxins. One such pump is the P-glycoprotein, which exports the widely used chemotherapy compound Taxol as it passes through the membrane. To counter P-glycoprotein efflux, Elena Dubikovskaya et al. modified Taxol’s structure, attaching a peptide that alters the mechanism by which the compound enters cells. The new c...

Models for nuclear smuggling interdiction

We describe two stochastic network interdiction models for thwarting nuclear smuggling. In the first model, the smuggler travels through a transportation network on a path that maximizes the probability of evading detection, and the interdictor installs radiation sensors to minimize that evasion probability. The problem is stochastic because the smuggler’s origin-destination pair is known only ...
