Organizations suffer more than ever from the inability to securely manage the information system, despite their myriad efforts. By introducing a real cyberattack of a bank, this research analyzes the characteristics of modern cyberattacks and simulates the dynamic propagation that makes them difficult to manage. It develops a self-adaptive framework that through simulation, distinctly improves cyberdefense efficiency. The results illustrate the discrepancies of the previous studies and validate the use of a time-based self-adaptive model for cybersecurity management. The results further show the significance of human and organizational learning effects and a coordination mechanism in obtaining a highly dependable cyberdefense setting. This study also provides an illuminating analysis for humans to position themselves in the collaborations with increasingly intelligent agents in the future.

The success of launching new products is the main challenge of companies since it is one of the key factors of competition. Thus, success in today’s high rival markets depends on the presentation of new products with new options, which must be compatible with customers’ desires. This research aims to analyze the psychological effect of the noise of a new product on the total profit of the chain and the optimal pricing and marketing decisions of the chain’s members. Additionally, a cooperative (co-op) advertising strategy as a coordination mechanism is considered among the partners such that it helps them to obtain their target markets. Commonly, under co-op advertising, the manufacturer pays a percentage of the retailer’s advertising costs. In this chain, the manufacturer and the retailer agree to share the retailer’s advertising costs. Afterwards, four different relations between the manufacturer and retailer are studied and analyzed including three non-cooperative games with symmetrical distribution of market power and one asymmetrical distribution of it. So, four game models and their closed-form solutions are illustrated with a numerical example. It was found that the noise effect affects the total profit of the manufacturer and the retailer, as well as the supply chain by influencing the partners’ advertising policies. In other word, increasing the noise effect of the product indicates to the manufacturer and the retailer to globally and locally advertise more, respectively. In turn, their profits increase, although also increasing the advertising costs. Finally, a complete sensitivity analysis is conducted and reported.

Kinesin is a two-headed linear motor for intracellular transport. It can walk a long distance in a hand-over-hand manner along the track before detaching (i.e., high processivity), and it consumes one ATP molecule for each step (i.e., tight mechanochemical coupling). The mechanisms of the coordination of its two heads and the mechanochemical coupling are the central issues of numerous researches. A few advances have been made in recent decades, thanks to the development of single-molecule technologies and molecular dynamics simulations. In this paper, we review some progress of the studies on the kinematics, energetics, coordination mechanism, mechanochemical mechanism of kinesin. We also present a personal perspective on the future studies of kinesin.
