Conflagration is one of the major disasters that threatens human life and property. If the proper action is not taken in detecting the symptom of conflagration events ahead of time, the number of such disasters will keep increasing. An effective solution in this context will alleviate many fire-related global problems to a great extent. Although fire detectors are not available in many places, WiFi...
This paper studies the shared transportation service provided by a dry port [1][2] to the shippers it serves. A hinterland supply chain is considered with one dry port and multiple shippers locating in close proximity to the dry port. The dry port employs for-hire trucking companies who provide the necessary equipment for executing the transportation services. To illustrate the scenario, products...
Dry port is an inland logistics centre offering public warehousing and transportation services for a cluster of shippers located in close proximity. Serving as a potential solution for seaport congestion and capacity limitation, dry port development is increasingly popular in the freight transport industry. This paper studies the storage pricing - pickup problem in a dry port system for inbound containers...
Urban flood control has become an important issue for both city planners and researchers as flood is one of the most severe natural disasters for large cities. Although many measures have been implemented for urban flood control, the effectiveness and efficiency is greatly hampered by the poor management of physical assets. In urban flood control, managing physical assets is challenging as it involves...
Supply Hub in Industrial Park (SHIP) can provide transportation service sharing by dispatching a vehicle to circulate multiple manufacturers to cover their delivery requirements. This paper discusses how Supply Hub in Industrial Park (SHIP) and manufacturers interact to optimize their decisions on transportation pricing and milk-run cycle time, and the delivery schedules of raw materials. This problem...
The Supply Hub in Industrial Park (SHIP) is proposed as a public warehouse providing warehousing and logistics services to internal enterprises of an industrial park. One of the most significant benefits of adopting the SHIP is the storage capacity pooling making efficient use of scarce land resources. This paper explores the SHIP's storage capacity pooling effect through examining the impact of demand...
Surface flaw is harmful for the quality of microelectromechanical device, because it could affect the mechanical response of the micro structure inside. In this paper, we simulate the effect of surface roughness on the mechanical properties of a micro beam by a two-dimensional finite element analysis. The random surface is generated in one dimension by a gauss correlation function with two major parameters,...
In this paper, a hybrid genetic algorithm(HGA) is proposed to solve the ELSP. The ELSP is formulated using basic period(BP) approach. In the proposed HGA, the design of basic setups of GA is largely adopted from previous contributions. Four heuristic strategies are introduced in the proposed HGA, aiming at reaching feasible space easier, testing feasibility and avoiding falling into local optimum...
In this paper, theoretical analysis proves the convergence properties of the brain-state-in-a-box (BSB) models with delay. We propose a convergence theorem of the BSB with delay, generalized the BSB without delay, while all previous studies on this model without delay assumed that symmetric and quasi-symmetric. We have performed a detailed convergence analysis of this network and found convergence...
