Planning for extreme heat challenges is an urgent task urban planners, designers, and managers because a new normal climate-related challenge many cities. However, how to integrate existing scientific outcomes achieve the transformation from research practice critical question. This study aims frame heat-resilient infrastructure system management plan (UHMP) better promote solution implementation. analyses heat-related challenges, with China as typical nation highly urbanized urbanizing...

With the service level playing an increasingly essential role in service-oriented manufacturing (SOM) supply chain, distribution network design can be heavily affected by customer behaviour based on their satisfaction of services. In this paper, we consider for time and delivery quantity separately. A novel mixed integer non-linear programming model is proposed to multi-period from a fourth-party logistics (4PL) perspective. The prospect theory maximised while considering investment budget...

The sustainable development goals (SDGs) suggest cities and communities (Goal 11) as inclusive, safe, resilient, human settlements. However, existing efforts in urban sustainability have mainly focused on ecological environmental sustainability, with little attention paid to development, economic, cultural sustainability. Moreover, a lack of adaptability is barrier cross-nation or cross-region implementation many frameworks due diverse contexts. Furthermore, most studies developed guides...

This paper studies the winner determination problem under disruption and demand uncertainty from perspective of fourth-party logistics platform. To hedge risks brought by double uncertainty, a hybrid mitigation strategy that integrates temporary outsourcing fortification is developed. With objective minimizing total cost, new two-stage stochastic model constructed, which further transformed into mixed-integer linear programming using an improved sample average approximation algorithm based...

Actively addressing urban heat challenges is an urgent task for numerous cities. Existing studies have primarily developed mitigation strategies and analyzed their cooling performance, while the adaptation are far from comprehensive to protect citizens heat-related illnesses deaths. To address this research gap, paper aims enhance people's capacity by investigating walkability within fifteen-minute cities (FMC). Taking cognizance of thermal comfort, health, safety, a dynamic attenuation...

The research on the correlation between pollutant dispersion and wind environment is gaining more attention due to increasingly serious air pollution.However, specific relationship factors concentration still unclear.In this paper, a simple model of among speed, concentration, efficiency investigated based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations redefine static speed aspect dispersion.The pollutants are supposed be diffused effectively when higher than speed.The CFD performed using...

As a supply chain solution integrator, fourth party logistics (4PL) has become an important focus for improving the operational efficiency of industry in recent days. This paper addresses mechanism design problem 4PL selecting third (3PL) provider who involves loss-averse behavior to form longer-term strategic partnership multi-attribute reverse auctions. Due fluctuating costs energy or labor and unintentional delivery failures like traffic jam technology malfunctions, we consider two...

This paper researches the uncertain portfolio selection problem when security returns are hard to be well reflected by previous data. We take as variables. Firstly, three new models presented based on cross-entropy of Secon dly, crisp form model is also provided linear In addition, gravitation search algorithm and numerical integration introduced solve proposed models. Finally, several examples illustrate effectiveness application mathematical

Urban heat is severe in numerous cities, but the urgency of action and support for development heat-resilient infrastructure unclear. To address these research gaps, this study investigated perceived developing associated payment issues eight megacities, China using a questionnaire survey 3758 respondents August 2020. Overall, thought it was moderately urgent to take actions heat-related challenges. The mitigation adaptation urgent. About 86.4% expected government be involved paying...

The design of the fourth party logistics network with stochastic demand and multi-customer behavior using value function prospect to despite customer psychological is studied in this paper. optimization model problem established constraint investment maximize satisfaction. According characteristics model, particle swarm intelligence algorithm adaptive inertia weight designed. Numerical study used obtain best combinations analysis influence investment. results suggested that provide better...
