Stakeholders' roles in virtual project environment: A case study
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
The rising cost of resources within an organization, increasing capability of information technology, the need to conduct project at different places and availability of competent and inexpensive manpower elsewhere have ...
A model for planning locations of temporary distribution facilities for emergency response
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
We propose a network flow model for dynamic selection of temporary distribution facilities and allocation of resources for emergency response planning. The model analyzes the transfer of excess resources between temporary ...
A real study-based modeling of stochastic behavior of traffic crash counts using penalized poisson-GzLM
(
IEOM Society
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Data-based prediction models for vehicular crash counts are in high demand by transport and traffic authorities in Qatar. The road crash models based on in-depth data are important for developing efficient road safety ...
Key performance indicators (KPIs) for evaluation of energy conservation in buildings
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The main objectives of this paper are to: identify key performance indicators (KPIs) related to intelligent buildings (economical, environmental, reliability, and quality), and; propose a simulation framework for evaluation ...
Reducing material convergence in disaster environments: The potential of trusted change agents
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The research in this paper seeks to advance the effective management of one of the most intractable aspects of disaster response phenomena: material convergence-the sudden and mostly uncoordinated arrival of physical ...
Perspectives on food waste management: Prevention and social innovations
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article Review)
Food waste is one of the challenging issues humans are facing. A third of the food produced in the world is wasted at various points along the food supply chain. Food waste can be reduced by developing technology that can ...
Building thermal energy modeling with loss minimization
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The thermal losses in buildings are significant energy sinks. The Energy Semantic Network (ESN) is a new method for finding these losses at the design stage, as well as for the existing structures. The research purpose of ...
An eco-friendly closed-loop supply chain facing demand and carbon price uncertainty
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
The greenhouse gas emissions due to the energy use in production and distribution in a supply chain are of interest to industries aiming to achieve decarbonization. The industry subjected to carbon regulations require ...
