Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) are one of the most destructive natural hazards that pose a serious threat to society, particularly those in coastal regions. In this work, we study temporal evolution regional weather conditions relation occurrence TCs using climate networks. Climate networks encode interactions among variables at different locations on Earth’s surface, and particular, time-evo...

One of the main tasks of post-genomic informatics is to systematically investigate all molecules and their interactions within a living cell so as to understand how these molecules and the interactions between them relate to the function of the organism, while networks are appropriate abstract description of all kinds of interactions. In the past few years, great achievement has been made in de...

Complex communication networks have become a common facet of military, and civilian, operations in the past century. However, much of the cognitive impact of these complex networks is yet to be understood. We have endeavoured to create an effective analogue for an operational network using the Battleships scenario. From this experiment we have extracted several common features impacting shared ...

We apply the renormalization group theory to the dynamical systems with the simplest example of basic biological motifs. This includes the interpretation of complex networks as the perturbation to simple network. This is the first step to build our original framework to infer the properties of biological networks, and the basis work to see its effectiveness to actual complex systems.

Notes in a musical piece are building blocks employed in non-random ways to create melodies. It is the “interaction” among a limited amount of notes that allows constructing the variety of musical compositions that have been written in centuries and within different cultures. Networks are a modeling tool that is commonly employed to represent a set of entities interacting in some way. Thus, not...

Design of a logistics network in proper way provides a proper platform for efficient and effective supply chain management. This paper studies a multi-period, multi echelon and multi-product integrated forward-reverse logistics network under uncertainty. First, an efficient complex mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model by considering some real-world assumptions is developed for the inte...
