Port, as a critical facilitator in international trade and logistics, plays a unique role in global supply chain activities. Maritime ports are exposed to many disruption sources such as natural disasters, labour strikes and terrorism. Disruptions in port can have a wide range of potential negative impact on its transportation networks; while sometimes also benefit other ports in close proximit...

In the face of demand disruptions, dual-channel supply chains (SCs) that lack resilience may be more vulnerable. Reaching moderate SC through coordination is essential for dealing with disruptions. This paper investigates operation management a fresh-food (FSC) under disruption. The centralized and decentralized decision models propose joint quality efforts based on consideration preference los...

Supply chains have become more global due to the increased interconnectedness of the world’s economy. As a result, companies in the U.S. are seeking more affordable overseas supply alternatives, though doing so may increase risk of domestic impacts when a disruption in the supplier’s country occurs. It is then critical to assess the risks of global disruptive events to identify the cost effecti...

Community resilience is a key concept in the National Health Security Strategy that emphasizes development of multi-sector partnerships and equity through community engagement. Here, we describe the advancement of CR principles through community participatory methods in the Los Angeles County Community Disaster Resilience (LACCDR) initiative. LACCDR, an initiative led by the Los Angeles County ...

Critical infrastructure networks, including transport, are crucial to the social and economic function of urban areas but are at increasing risk from natural hazards. Minimizing disruption to these networks should form part of a strategy to increase urban resilience. A framework for assessing the disruption from flood events to transport systems is presented that couples a high-resolution urban...

The emergence of third generation mobile system (3G) makes video transmission in wireless environment possible, and the latest 3GPP/3GPP2 standards require 3G terminals support H.264/AVC. Due to high packet loss rate in wireless environment , error resilience for 3G terminals is necessary. Moreover, because of the hardware restrictions, 3G mobile terminals support only part of H.264/AVC error r...

The structure, interdependence, and fragility of systems ranging from power-grids and transportation to ecology, climate, biology and even human communities and the Internet have been examined through network science. While response to perturbations has been quantified, recovery strategies for perturbed networks have usually been either discussed conceptually or through anecdotal case studies. ...
