In the traditional channel, a retailer stocks the product from a manufacturer and sells it to consumers. In contrast, the retailer in the drop-shipping channel relays the consumers’ requests to the manufacturer who stocks and delivers the product to consumers. Due to their different...

To combat energy shortage, RIES has become an important research direction in the international energy field. In order to improve energy efficiency and the large-scale consumption of renewable energy, this paper presents the key technologies of RIES, which consists of the coupling relationship,...

Vehicle formation control is one of important research topics in transportation. Control of uncertain nonlinear systems is one of fundamental problems in vehicle control. In this dissertation, we consider this fundamental control problem. Specially, we considered selforganizing based tracking...

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has caused a global food security crisis, impacting sustainable development goals. Predicting the crisis's impact on food security is crucial for global stability by 2030. From a macro-perspective, this paper constructs a food security evaluation indicator system and...

Pulse electrocoagulation (PEC) was used to evaluate the treatment of synthetic solutions containing antimony (Sb). The effects of electrode materials, distance between electrodes, duty ratio, current frequency, and initial pH on the removal efficiency were investigated. The Sb removal reached...

Purpose The traditional failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) has some limitations, such as the neglect of relevant historical data, subjective use of rating numbering and the less rationality and accuracy of the Risk Priority Number. The current study proposes a machine learning–enhanced...

Effects of the averaging over disorder realizations (samples) on the phase behavior are analyzed in terms of the mean field approximation for the random field Ising model with infinite range interactions. It is found that the averaging is equivalent to a drastic modification in the statistics of...

The phase transition of a fluid adsorbed in a heterogeneous system is studied within a mean-field approach to the lattice gas model with quenched impurities. Despite the different origin of the heterogeneity (spatial variation of binding energy or fluid coordination numbers), the fluid can...

Using Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling, we investigate the critical behavior of two-dimensional magnetic lattice gas at densities ρ=0.90, 0.95, 1.0. There is a ferromagnetic phase transition at each density. As expected, the critical temperature T <Subscript> c </Subscript> depends on system...</subscript>
