Climate change adaptation in agriculture food supply chains: a bibliometric and content analysis

Abstract This study explores the intellectual development and research landscape surrounding climate change adaptation in agricultural food supply chains through a combined bibliometric and content analysis. The primary objective is to map ...

An agent-based modeling framework for the design of a dynamic closed-loop supply chain network

Abstract The supply chain is a dynamic and uncertain system consisting of material, information, and fund flows between different organizations, from the acquisition of the raw materials to the delivery of the finished products to the end c...

Sustainable Supply Management Practices and Sustainability Performance: The Dynamic Capability Perspective

This study aims to build and examine a model of sustainable supply management (SSM) practices and sustainability performance (SP) from a dynamic capability perspective. More precisely, this article examines whether SSM practices have an aff...

Analysis of Supply Chain Risks in Concrete Dam Construction

This study identifies 35 risks related to the supply chain of concrete dams, of which 25 were selected as critical risks using the Delphi method. Risks were categorized into three groups based on their sources including environmental, netwo...

Effectiveness, efficiency, and equity in jurisdictional REDD+ benefit distribution mechanisms: Insights from Jambi province, Indonesia

The jurisdictional REDD+ (JREDD+) mechanism, aimed at reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, has been crucial in global climate change mitigation efforts. However, designing effective, efficient, and equitable benefit...

Topologically protected loop flows in high voltage AC power grids

Geographical features such as mountain ranges or big lakes and inland seas often result in large closed loops in high voltage AC power grids. Sizable circulating power flows have been recorded around such loops, which take up transmission l...

Time-domain image processing using photonic reservoir computing

Photonic computing has attracted much attention due to its great potential to accelerate artificial neural network operations. However, the processing of a large amount of data, such as image data, basically requires large-scale photonic ci...

RCS reduction of wide-band, high-gain antenna array based on asymmetric transmission metasurfaces

Abstract In this paper, an ultra-wideband stealth antenna with high gain on the basis of asymmetric transmission metasurface (ATMS) is proposed. ATMS can convert an incident y-polarised sphere wave into an x-polarised plane wave at the fron...

Special Issue on Enabling Technology in Optical Fiber Communications: From Device, System to Networking

It is well known that optical fiber communications support the global communication networks nowadays, which originates from Charles K [...]...
