"This book examines the dimensions, components, and key indicators of logistics and smart supply chains. Our goal in this book is to empower supply chains by identifying the procedures and tools that can help make logistics smarter in today's world. We will also show what capabilities the...

Aim/purpose - This research aims to design an analytical framework to investigate the dimensions, factors, and key indicators affecting the green supply chain based on the innovative technology of Artificial Intelligence of Everything (AIoE). Understanding the cause-and-effect relationships of...

The evaluation of water resources given by snowfall is very important in the mountainous basins. In this study, the snow depth (SD) and snow water equivalent (SWE) were investigated to quantify the water resources stored in the snow. Multivariate non-linear regression (MNLR) method, four types...

<Para ID="Par1">During the past decades, the command and control approaches were used to access a safe water supply policy. However, traditional methods of water management rarely consider complex interactions and outcomes of water allocations which can show their effects in feedback loops. These methods also...</para>

The FAO56 Penman–Monteith (FAO56-PM) method is known as the standard method for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ET<Subscript>0</Subscript>) in a variety of climate types. Global solar radiation (R<Subscript>s</Subscript>) is one of the essential inputs of this model, which is usually estimated from the Angstrom–Prescott (AP)...</subscript></subscript>

In this research, temporal trends of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) values were investigated in arid regions of Iran. For this purpose, meteorological observations collected from 11 high quality meteorological sites over a 41-year period (1965–2005) were used and statistically significant...

Evaporation is an important component of the hydrological cycle and its change would be of great significance for water resources planning, irrigation control and agricultural production. The main purpose of this study was to investigate temporal variations in pan evaporation (E<Subscript>pan</Subscript>) and the...</subscript>

Background: In this paper, a new closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) network model, including economic, social and environmental goals, is designed. This paper's primary purpose is to meet customers' uncertain demands in different scenarios where the new robust-fuzzy-probabilistic method has been...

In this paper, a sustainable closed-loop supply chain problem is modelled in conditions of uncertainty. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the designed supply chain network seeks to deliver medical equipment to hospitals on time within a defined time window to prevent overcrowding and virus...
