Mapping urban design literature: A network-based approach

Mapping and Analyzing the Co-Authorship Network of Transgenic Researchers with a Network Analysis Approach

Background and Aim: Transgenic species are the ones whose genomes are genetically modified. The transgenic field is one of the areas that has a high importance and position in the world. Therefore, the aim of the present research is to draw and analyze the co-authorship network of researchers in transgenic subject area. Materials and Methods: The type of this research is descriptive and was ca...

A stochastic network design of bulky waste recycling – a hybrid harmony search approach based on sample approximation

Facing supply uncertainty of bulky wastes, the capacitated multi-product stochastic network design model for bulky waste recycling is proposed in this paper. The objective of this model is to minimize the first-stage total fixed costs and the expected value of the second-stage variable costs. The possibility of operation costs and transportation costs for bulky waste recycling is considered ...

Explanation of Mapping Techniques in Conversion Design Process: A Phenomenological Approach to the Sensory Perceptions

A Systematic Approach to Photonic Crystal Based Metamaterial Design

Photonic crystal design procedure for negative refraction has so far been based on trial and error. In this paper, for the first time, a novel and systematic design procedure based on physical and mathematical properties of photonic crystals is proposed to design crystal equi-frequency contours (EFCs) to produce negative refraction. The EFC design is performed by the help of rectangular stair-c...
