Business marketing activities in Ukraine during wartime

The war in Ukraine dealt a crushing blow to the country’s economy. The relevance of the topic is due to the marketing ability to be an effective tool for restoring and developing business in Ukraine. The paper aims to define the state and p...

Complex T-Spherical Fuzzy Relations With Their Applications in Economic Relationships and International Trades

Uncertainty is the unavoidable part of the life. In almost all circumstances, we regularly find ourselves in a state of uncertainty. Several reasons can lead to uncertainty, such as randomness, vagueness and rough knowledge. Fuzzy set (FS) ...

Managing uncertainty during a global pandemic: An international business perspective

Coping with Uncertainty in International Business

Departure Time and Route Choices With Accurate Information Under Binary Stochastic Bottleneck Capacity in the Morning Commute

Uncertainty, a critical factor of causing congestion and extra travel costs in the commute, can be mitigated by providing information. This paper studies the welfare effects of accurate pre-trip information on departure time and route choic...

Integrating uncertainty propagation in GNSS radio occultation retrieval: from excess phase to atmospheric bending angle profiles

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) observations are highly accurate, long-term stable data sets and are globally available as a continuous record from 2001. Essential climate variables for the thermodynamic ...

The surface temperatures of Earth: steps towards integrated understanding of variability and change

Surface temperature is a key aspect of weather and climate, but the term may refer to different quantities that play interconnected roles and are observed by different means. In a community-based activity in June 2012, the EarthTemp Network...

Validation of Sentinel-2 (MSI) and Sentinel-3 (OLCI) Water Quality Products in Turbid Estuaries Using Fixed Monitoring Stations

It is common in estuarine waters to place fixed monitoring stations, with the advantages of easy maintenance and continuous measurements. These two features make fixed monitoring stations indispensable for understanding the optical complexi...

Particulate matter, air quality and climate: lessons learned and future needs

The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year in the refereed literature. This is in part due to the enormou...

Introducing uncertainty of radar-rainfall estimates to the verification of mesoscale model precipitation forecasts

A simple measure of the uncertainty associated with using radar-derived rainfall estimates as "truth" has been introduced to the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) verification process to assess the effect on forecast skill and er...

Investigating seasonal velocity variations of selected glaciers in high mountain asia

Glacier velocity is a sensitive indicator of mass balance and is key to understanding how glaciers respond to climate change. Monitoring glacier velocity at high temporal resolutions enables a better understanding of the drivers of glacier ...

Multidimensional Fractionation of Particles

The increasing complexity in particle science and technology requires the ability to deal with multidimensional property distributions. We present the theoretical background for multidimensional fractionations by transferring the concepts k...

NONLINEAR BANK RISK APPETITE UNDER ECONOMIC POLICY UNCERTAINTY: THE ROLE OF REGULATORY QUALITY AND DEPOSIT INSURANCE

Economic policy uncertainty has been increasing globally, with consequences for financial sector stability. This paper investigates its influence on the risk-taking behavior of banks. The study examines the functional form of responses of b...

Sensitivity Analysis and Uncertainty Quantification of Nanoparticle Deposition from Tongue Morphological Variations

The human tongue has highly variable morphology. Its role in regulating respiratory flows and deposition of inhaled aerosols remains unclear. The objective of this study was to quantify the uncertainty of nanoparticle deposition from the va...

An artificial neural network-based model for predicting paratransit travel time

The nature of paratransit services makes for increased uncertainty in trip time, leading to reported unreliability and dissatisfaction by the users. While providing travel information has proved helpful in formal bus services and has been r...

A robust and uncertainty-aware machine learning framework for PM2.5 prediction in a coastal urban Indian environment: implications for sustainable air quality management

Abstract Accurate prediction of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) remains challenging because atmospheric processes are nonlinear, nonstationary, and influenced by temporal variability, measurement uncertainty, and episodic pollution events. ...

A three-pillar approach to assessing climate impacts on low flows

The objective of this paper is to present a framework for assessing climate impacts on future low flows that combines different sources of information, termed pillars. To illustrate the framework three pillars are chosen: (a) extrapolation ...

A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION FOR THE ENTROPY OF RURAL TOURISM IN THE CONTEXT OF COVID-19

The tourism industry was one of the world’s greatest markets, until the world was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, tourism managers have to carefully assess the impact of epidemics on their businesses and develop new risk management ...

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...
