Graph theory based methods are powerful means for representing structural systems so that their geometry and topology can be understood clearly. The combination of graph theory based methods and some metaheuristics can offer effective solutions for complex engineering optimization problems. This paper presents a Charged System Search (CSS) algorithm for the free shape optimizations of thin-wall...

the present article investigates the stress pattern system of central sarawani balochi (csb), spoken in sarawan located in sistan and baluchestan province of the islamic republic of iran, based on metrical theory as developed in hayes (1995). correspondingly, the present research illustrates the position of primary and secondary stress in mono-morphemic words, verbal paradigms, compound words, ...

in the last decade of the twentieth century, the field of international relations studies witnessed a theory based on which a model was introduced to solve complex equations in the field. the theory was introduced by joseph s. nye and expanded by the united states diplomacy. the theory is based on “the influence of the cultural attractions and values on creating power” in civilizational domain....

the food chain refers to a natural system by which energy is transmitted from one organism to another. in fact, a food chain consists of producers, consumers and decomposition. presence of complex food web increase the stability of the ecosystem. classical food chain theory arises from lotka-volterra model. in the present paper, the dynamics behavior of three level food chain is studied. a syst...

In this paper we consider the co-evolutionary dynamics of IS engagement where episodic change of implementation increasingly occurs within the context of linkages and interdependencies between systems and processes within and across organisations. Although there are many theories that interpret the various motors of change be it lifecycle, teleological, dialectic or evolutionary, our paper atte...

ToToday’s market place is increasingly dynamic and volatile. In this area supply network issues recently have attracted a lot of attention from industrial practitioners and academics worldwide. Chaos theory is the study of complex, nonlinear, dynamic systems. For chaotic systems, a tiny change in conditions may result in an enormous change in system output, whereas substantial changes in condit...

On the basis of reviews on related literatures based on complexity science and complex adaptive system of supply chain management research, the development process of supply chain management has been analyzed, and several advantages to apply complex adaptive system in supply chain management research have been put forward. It has broad application prospects to study the coordination development...
