Nowadays, online social networks are considered as one of the most important emerging phenomena of human societies. In these networks, prediction of link by relying on the knowledge existing of the interaction between network actors provides an estimation of the probability of creation of a new relationship in future. A wide range of applications can be found for link prediction such as electro...

Purpose This paper presents a systematic review of the literature in domain maritime disruption management, upon which future research framework and agenda are proposed. Two questions, i.e. measures that employed to manage disruptions how these contribute resilience performance, were pursued. Design/methodology/approach The procedure was strictly followed, including identification planning, exe...

A significant contributor to cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide is head neck cancer (HNC). Depending on the affected site, its etiology may include risk factors like geographic differences, genetic predisposition, gender, age, type of diet, smoking and/or alcohol consumption habits, sexual preferences. Dysbiosis, or disruption oral microbiota balance, another proposed causative fa...

Nowadays, because of the need to decrease fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and also their capability of exchanging power with the grid and regulating the frequency and voltage of the grid at different times of the day, electric vehicles are used more than before all across the world. It is highly important to pay attention to the efficiency, and decrease in the weight and volume of...

7 Monograph Over the last two decades, there has been increasing scientific concern and public debate regarding the adverse effects of chemical pollutants in the environment that can interfere with the normal functioning of the endocrine system in wildlife and in humans (the so-called endocrine-disrupting chemicals, EDCs). These concerns have been fueled primarily by reports of disrupted reprod...

COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused supply chain (SC) disruption and threatened human life across the world, which could be mitigated through innovative strategies. Based on this scenario, study examines impact of green practices, SC crisis mitigation strategies, smart technologies, sustainable performance in Pakistani manufacturing industry. Data was collected from firms employed structural equa...

As wireless communication has become to be popular all over the world, the next promising network technology is the multi-hop wireless networks so called wireless ad hoc networks. Since wireless ad hoc networks require far lower cost to construct than wired networks, it is expected as technology to expand network coverage in both physical areas and applications. As infrastructure, wireless mesh...

A delay/disruption tolerant network (DTN) architecture was proposed to effectively support communication in challenging scenarios characterized by intermittent connectivity and long latency. The custody transfer (CT) mechanism is used to improve the reliability of DTN. We proposed a mathematical model of the DTN data link. Based on this model, we simplified a link containing both nodes with and...
