In this study, a nano-structured surface was prepared on glass slides by RF magnetron sputtering with zinc target. The superhydrophobicity of the surface was highly improved after thermal oxidation and decorated by hexadecyltrimethoxysilane. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were utilized to evaluate the surface morphology, element types and...
Surface icing of transmission lines may inflict serious consequences such as tower collapse and power failure. Superhydrophobic (SHP) surface is believed to be potential candidate to realize anti-icing. Here we reported a method to fabricate SHP surface on insulator to enhance its anti-icing performance. The as-prepared SHP surface exhibits a contact angle (CA) of 161° and sliding angle (SA) of 1°...
Inventory management in cluster supply chains is a new organization mode. A hybrid control method is applied to solve the complex multi-modes issues. The different control strategies on variable stock condition in supply chains are discussed in details. By simulation cases, the paper presents the procedure of directing the optimal decision variables. The results proves the bullwhip effect in cluster...
Construction of container terminal is complex for natural circumstances, regional economic conditions and other related regional transport system and economy. In order to comprehensively appraising investment feasibility of container terminal, an approach adaptable to evaluate construction of container terminal is presented after analysis of container terminal transportation system. Meanwhile a corresponding...
In this paper, a fuzzy neural network system to estimate future logistics demand was proposed and trained. The structure of neural network in the system is different from BP network, with the nonlinear sigmoid functions in the networks replaced by fuzzy reasoning process and wavelet functions respectively. Moreover, the trained network system is put into practical logistics demand forecasting. The...
