Resilient supply chains are often inherently dependent on the nature of their complex interconnected networks that simultaneously multi-dimensional and multi-layered. This article presents a Supply Chain Network (SCN) model can be used to regulate downstream relationships towards sustainable SME using 4-component cost function structure - Environmental (E), Demand (D), Economic Social (S). As m...

Fully kinetic, vibrationally and continuum solvers with varying model fidelity are used in this work to the high-temperature relaxation of air 7230 15,000 K adiabatic heat baths a hypersonic flow over cylinder. The results show significant impact uncertainties vibrational times reaction rate constants on thermal chemical relaxation, particular, gas temperature species mole fractions. Most notab...

Modern high speed aerospace propulsion relies on the development of scramjet engines significantly. Design of a supersonic combustor involves the potential problems of proper mixing, flame holding as well as flame stabilization within the very short period. Many techniques were introduced to overcome these problems, of which cavity flame holders has evolved as one of the prominent among them. T...

Modeling synaptic interactions in network models poses a particular challenge. Not only should such models capture the important physiological properties of synaptic ifiteractions, but they must do so in a computationally efficient manner in order to facilitate simulations of large networks. This article reviews several types of models that address these goals. Synaptic currents are mediated by...

Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) can monitor spatiotemporal distribution of radiotracer in vivo. The spatiotemporal information can be used to estimate parametric images of radiotracer kinetics that are of physiological and biochemical interests. Direct estimation of parametric images from raw projection data allows accurate noise modeling and has been shown to offer better image qual...
