Problem definition: ``Cloud Kitchens'' are delivery-only facilities that house multiple restaurants. Food-delivery platforms operate such kitchens to exploit two advantages: (i) Location advantage, arising due to a cloud-kitchen's central location~--~this enables lower delivery times to...

Using novel measures that capture the investment in cloud technology based on firms' labor demand, we show that cloud adoption is associated with significant productivity gains for a large sample of US public firms between 2010 and 2019. This finding is robust to a range of cloud-related...

Cloud computing became a pivotal crisis response tool for many public sector organizations (PSOs) during the COVID-19 pandemic, sustaining public service delivery and public sector operations during times of extraordinary global turmoil. The technology’s inherent strengths of flexibility,...

In underground mining, the tunnels are performed mainly by blasting. Unfortunately, their quality may be different than expected. It is important to monitor both the quality and changes of existing tunnels. The length of corridors in underground mines is massive. Even if one wants to limit...

Extreme rainfall associated with landfalling tropical cyclones (ERLTC) can bring severe disaster losses. Revealing the typical characteristics and formation mechanisms of ERLTC has important scientific significance and potential operational application value. In this study, cloud microphysical...

This study’s goal is to illustrate future energy scenarios for Thailand in the year 2050: Cloud and Clear scenarios. Cloud depicts a scenario of an economy driven mainly by value-based industrial manufacturing. Security of energy supply is prioritized, with an emphasis on environment concerns...

A FLRW cloud is a solution of classical General Relativity (GR) were a homogeneous fluid of fixed mass $M$ collapses in a free fall, following a radial geodesic $R(\tau)$ of the FLRW metric.This solution can be used to model the interior of a Black Hole (BH) with regular matter/radiation,...

In this study, forest fires in the Mediterranean region of Turkey between July 28, 2021, and August 11, 2021, were investigated. Burning severity maps were produced with the difference normalised burned ratio index over Sentinel-2 images on the Google Earth Engine cloud platform. The burned...
