One of the most important and typical application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is target tracking. Although target tracking, can provide benefits for large-scale WSNs and organize them into clusters but tracking a moving target in cluster-based WSNs suffers a boundary problem. The main goal of this paper was to introduce an efficient and novel mobility management protocol namely Target Tr...

While supply chain (SC) exploitation and exploration have been playing an increasingly important role in supply chain management, there is a dearth of research examining their antecedents and outcomes. In this research, we examine how SC exploitation and exploration impact firm performance. Specifically, drawing upon the boundary spanning theory, we theorize how top management, as boundary span...

the advent of cybertechnologies has led to radical paradigm shifts in our social, economic, cultural, and psychological conceptualizations. the paper investigates the advent of cyborgs, indeed our transformation into cyborgs, and the impact of this transformation upon identities and face management, which has an important social value since the late modernism. cyborg is a designation for the in...

In Real coded genetic algorithms, some crossover operators do not work well on functions which have their optimum at the corner of the search space. To cope with this problem, we have proposed boundary extension methods which allows individuals to be located within a limited space beyond the boundary of the search space. In this paper, we give an analysis of the boundary extension methods from ...

As project-based industries such as Architecture, Engineering and Construction globalize, workers require strategies for managing conflict in virtual project networks. Our aim in this paper is to explore the efficacy of boundary objects as tools to mediate conflict in culturally-diverse, distributed networks. Based on annotated recordings for eight networks of graduate student engineers, we dem...

background and objectives:due to increase in the world population and increasing concerns about the future food security, shrinking the yield gap has became a hot area of research in field crops. estimation the amount of yield gap and determination of it’s causes requires using proper methods. boundary line analysis is a statistical method that can quantify the response of yield to an environme...
