Wang, Jiepeng (author), Zhou, Hong (author), Sun, Xinlei (author), Yuan, Y. (author)Due to the fact that there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how the dynamic nature of supply chain networks (SCNs) interrelates with network structures, particularly network topologies under disruptions. This research employs a novel evolving model of a supply chain network (SCNE model) by modifying the Barabási and Albert (BA)...journal article 2023

Yan, L. (author), Golestan, Mohammad Hossein (author), Zhou, Wenyu (author), Hassanizadeh, S. Majid (author), Berg, Carl Fredrik (author), Raoof, Amir (author)Low salinity water flooding is a common technique for enhancing oil recovery; however, the mechanism behind the low-salinity effect, positive or negative, is still not fully understood. In the proposed mechanisms, osmosis and emulsification are considered as two potential reasons for explaining the oil remobilization, but the specific...journal article 2023

Zhou, Y. (author), Liang, M. (author), Yue, X. (author)Large errors can be introduced in traditional acoustic emission (AE) source localization methods using extracted signal features such as arrival time difference. This issue is obvious in the case of irregular structural geometries, complex composite structure types or presence of cracks in wave travel paths. In this study, based on a novel...journal article 2023
