This paper introduces the task selection and routing problem in collaborative transportation in which a truckload carrier receives tasks from shippers and other partners and makes a selection between a private vehicle and an external carrier to serve each task. The objective is to minimize the...

Based on exergy analysis of charging and discharging processes in a gas-hydrate cool storage system, the formulas for exergy efficiency at the sensible heat transfer stage and the phase change stage corresponding to gas-hydrate charging and discharging processes are obtained. Furthermore, the...

A pilot-scale anaerobic co-digestion research study is presented to elucidate the feasibility of developing anaerobic digestion (AD) as an effective disposal method for municipal biomass waste (MBW) in China, focusing on biogas production and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction. Food waste,...

In recent studies of the complex network, most of the community detection methods only consider the network topological structure without background information. This leads to a relatively low accuracy. In this paper, a novel semi-supervised community detection algorithm is proposed based on the...
