With the K-means clustering and Logistic model, we forecasted the carbon emissions in 30 provinces and autonomous regions in China from 2014 to 2023 based on the data of 30 provinces from 2005 to 2013. First, 5 indicators were selected, which include GDP, urbanization rate, the proportion of the second industry, the energy efficiency and the carbon emission intensity. Secondly, K-means cluster analysis...
Novel social question & answer (SQA) sites have attracted popular attention due to good interpersonal communication generating great social benefits in online communities. However, few researches so far have investigated the factors that influence individual's continuous intention, especially from the knowledge seeker's points of view. Thus, drawing on the expectation confirmation model, this...
Remanufacturing has been characterized as a critical component of the circular economy and an engine of the closed loop supply chain process. However, few researches focus on consumers' intention to purchase remanufactured products. To enrich researches on this, we propose an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) by adding more explanative variables to investigate the affecting factors of consumers'...
This paper studies low-carbon supply chain optimization strategies when carbon price is endogenous. The demand is modeled as a function of retail price and carbon purification level. By analyzing optimization strategies of two models building on Stackelberg game, we show that too strict or loose carbon quota policy is not conducive to the maximum benefit for government and enterprises, and it has...
Based on the mental accounting theory, we frame decision problems of retailer under uncertain supply and stock-dependent demand and analyze the effect of some parameters on the retailer's optimal decision. After the analysis of the uncertainty, we propose a method called advanced payment to reduce the risk of the supply uncertainty. Our research shows that under the advanced payment strategy, the...
This paper extends the standard newsvendor problem based upon loss-averse under supply uncertainty with multiplicative demand. We show that the optimal order quantity is decreasing in the retailer's loss aversion, and the optimal selling price is increasing in the retailer's loss aversion. optimal selling price is increasing with respect to the unit cost and the optimal order quantity is decreasing...
The government acts as an important role in the formation and operations of a closed-loop green supply chain. We focus on how consumption-subsidy and manufacturersubsidy influence the closed-loop supply chain. After introducing government subsidy program in the closed-loop supply chain, we analyze the channel members' decisions before and after the government-funded program respectively. All the consumers...
Based on the traditional newsvendor model, we study the production decisions for a loss-averse retailer under supply and additive demand uncertainties in a fashion supply chain. We demonstrate the existences of the optimal order quantity and price. With numerical study, we show that under the loss-averse behavior, the higher the loss-averse degree, the lower the optimal order quantity, the higher...
We frame a retailer's decision problem under the mental accounting behavior model by assuming that decision maker confronts uncertain supply and demand at the beginning of a selling season. With numerical study, we show that under the mental accounting behavior model, the retailer might order less than the profit-maximized retailer, the higher the loss-averse degree of leftover account, the lower...
We extend the expectation-based loss-averse newsvendor model according [1] by assuming that decision maker confronts deterministic demand and uncertain supply at the beginning of a selling season. We show with numerical study that the higher the penalty coefficient, the lower the optimal order quantity. Higher retail price and salvage value lead to optimally order more. However, when the wholesale...
Based on the analyses and comparison of utility value between legitimate supplier and pirate, this paper selects the value difference as the reference point of profit and loss of legitimate supplier. Applying the value function effect of prospect theory into investigating the change of the reference point, we could find that the pricing strategy of legitimate supplier not only affects their own interests,...
Using a domain-engineered, periodically poled LiNbO3 grating, we investigate polarization-entangled photon-pair generation near 1550 nm wavelength using type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion.
We have demonstrated the detection of a 12MHz ultrasound wave using a microtoroidal whispering gallery mode optical resonator, encapsulated in a low-refractive-index polymer with its coupling tapered-fiber. The sensitivity of our device is 35 mV/KPa.
In this paper, we consider a single-product, single-period inventory model where the retailer can order from three different suppliers. Supplier 1 is the cheapest but the most unreliable as the retailer may not get as many as he ordered. Supplier 2 is more expensive than supplier 1 by offering a supply option. supplier 3 is the most expensive but most reliable and will serve as an emergency supplier...
Based on service quality theory and relevant literatures, this study establishes a research model of consumers' post-transaction general trust in B2C e-business. The empirical research finds that: at the post-purchase stage, familiarity, perceived safety, product quality and especially service quality significantly positively affects consumers' general trust in web-vendor; nevertheless, the effect...
In this paper we build on the framework of coordination with fairness and investigate the impact of fairness concerns on channel coordination under power-form demand function. Similar to the findings by literature, we show that the supplier can design a simple wholesale price contract to coordinate a two-stage supply chain when both the retailer and the supplier are fair-minded. In comparison to the...
In B2C E-business, consumers' trust plays a critical role in helping them overcome perceptions of uncertainty and risk. Mostly based on the research context in developed countries, prior studies on e-business trust have used diverse, inconsistent definitions of trust, making it difficult to compare results across studies and adapt to China's consumers. This research proposes a model to measure multiple...
A consumer rebate is a coupon goes from the manufacturer to the consumer. In this paper, we build on the framework introduced by Cui et al. (2007) and investigate the impact of fairness concerns on supply chain coordination when there exists a consumer rebate. We show that the simple wholesale price contract can coordinate a supply chain with rebate when only the retailer is fairness-concerned, and...
Relational database, data warehouse and data mining are three kinds of independent information technology, one of the most active branch of the development and application of Database research, by analysis of complementary prospects and connections of the three techniques, we can combining them to establish a more perfect database application system or a decision making system.
IEC 61850-6 defines a substation configuration language (SCL) and provides interoperability between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). The complexity of SCL configuration files makes it difficult for engineers to configure IEDs, and therefore a visual configuration tool has been developed to streamline the work. This paper introduces the technical principle and implementation methods for building...
