This paper deals with a new joint replenishment problem, in which number of non-instantaneous deteriorating items are replenished from several suppliers under different quantity discounts schemes. Involving both decisions and supplier selection makes the problem to be NP-hard. In particular, consideration deterioration it more challenging handle. We first construct mathematical model integrated system program for formulate problem. Then we develop novel swarm intelligence optimization...

Intelligent personal assistants (IPAs) own anthropomorphic features which enable users' perception of anthropomorphism. Adopting the perspective mind-based anthropomorphism, purpose this paper is to investigate how anthropomorphism influences exploratory usage IPAs. Based on notion that can satisfy people's sociality and effectance motivation, we hypothesize enhance social connection with IPAs IPA self-efficacy, in turn influence their Questionnaires were developed distributed users who had...

The design of public storage warehouses needs to fit market segments increase the average revenue in an environment high demand. This paper presents a model integrated with queuing and price-demand theories solve pricing problem for warehouses. We consider two demand cases model, which are exponential piecewise linear also develop solution based on dynamic programming techniques problem. Using data from warehouse, we conduct numerical experiments. Results show that our approach can improve...

The accuracy and reliability of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) modeling mainly depend on the precise extraction optimization some unknown parameters. However, SOFC model is a multi-peak, nonlinear, multivariable, strongly combined system. In previous decisive methods, it difficult to achieve satisfactory parameter extraction. Therefore, this article proposes method based superhuman algorithm extracts several important parameters model. addition, electrochemical (ECM), which typical model, has...

Starting from the hotspots of solid waste recycling and reuse, considering characteristics transportation in eco-industrial symbiotic network, this paper takes distribution process by-product reuse upstream downstream enterprise clusters as research object. Different traditional which a single goal-oriented multi-product independent, Considering model economic cost performance environmental performance, well "transport price correlation" between various wastes, constructs multi-objective...

We introduce a numerical scheme for the full multi-species Boltzmann equation based on Hermite spectral method. With proper choice of expansion centers different species, practical algorithm is derived to evaluate complicated binary collision operator. New models are built by combining quadratic model and simple BGK under framework method, which enables us balance computational cost accuracy. Several experiments implemented validate dramatic efficiency this new Moreover, we can handle...
