Conventional document and discussion websites provide users with no help in assessing the quality or quantity of evidence behind any given idea. Besides, the very meaning of what evidence is may not be unequivocally defined within a community, and may require deep understanding, common ground and debate. An Evidence Hub is a tool to pool the community collective intelligence on what is evidence...

Hubs are special facilities that serve as switching, transshipment and sorting points in many-to-many distribution systems. The hub location problem is concerned with locating hub facilities and allocating demand nodes to hubs in order to route the traffic between origin–destination pairs. In this paper we classify and survey network hub location models. We also include some recent trends on hu...

This paper presents a new method for optimizing the hub height of a wind turbine. In general, wind turbine energy production increases with the hub height, but so does the cost. Therefore, we must optimize the hub height. Here, we calculated the annual energy production using a wind probability function. This is a function of the hub height and the roughness, which is a surface characteristic. ...

Hubs, or central trans-shipment facilities, allow the construction of a network where large numbers of direct connections can be replaced with fewer, indirect connections. Hub-andspoke configurations reduce and simplify network construction costs, centralize commodity handling and sorting, and allow carriers to take advantage of scale economies through consolidation of flows. Such networks have...

In this paper, performance analysis of Shared and Switched Ethernet LANs under Different Scenarios through simulation has been attempted using OPNET as simulating tool. The first scenario was comes under Hub Only scenario. The environment of the network is in an office, which covers an area of 100m X 100m. The hub used is a 16 port hub in an Ethernet environment with the following configuration...

Resective neurosurgery carries the risk of postoperative cognitive deterioration. The concept of 'hub (over)load', caused by (over)use of the most important brain regions, has been theoretically postulated in relation to symptomatology and neurological disease course, but lacks experimental confirmation. We investigated functional hub load and postsurgical cognitive deterioration in patients un...

The design of hub-and-spoke transport networks is a strategic planning problem, as the choice of hub locations has to remain unchanged for long time periods. However, strikes, disasters or traffic breakdown can lead to the unavailability of a hub for a short period of time. Therefore it is important to consider such events already in the planning phase, so that a proper reaction is possible; on...

ABSTRACT The physical processes behind the transfer of mass from parsec-scale clumps to massive star-forming cores remain elusive. We investigate relation between clump morphology and fraction that ends up in its most core (MMC) as a function infrared brightness, i.e. evolutionary tracer. Using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 12 m Compact Array, we surveyed six dark hubs 2.9...
