Research on Alliance Decision of Dual-Channel Remanufacturing Supply Chain Considering Bidirectional Free-Riding and Cost-Sharing

This study delves into the formation dynamics of alliances within a closed-loop supply chain(CLSC)that encom-passes a manufacturer,a retailer,and an e-commerce platform.It leverages Stackelberg game for this exploration,contrasting the equilibrium outcomes of a non-alliance model with those of three differentiated alliance models.The non-alliance model acts as a crucial benchmark,enabling the evaluation of the motivations for various supply chain entities to engage in alliance formations.Our analysis is centered on identifying the most effective alliance strategies and establishing a coordination within these partnerships.We thoroughly investigate the consequences of diverse alliance behaviors,bidirectional free-riding and cost-sharing,and the resultant effects on the optimal decision-making among supply chain actors.The findings underscore several pivotal insights:(1)The behavior of alliances within the supply chain exerts variable impacts on the optimal pricing and demand of its members.In comparison to the non-alliance(D)model,the manufacturer-retailer(MR)and manufacturer-e-commerce platform(ME)alliances significantly lower both offline and online resale prices for new and remanufactured goods.This adjustment leads to an enhanced demand for products via the MR alliance’s offline outlets and the ME alliance’s online platforms,thereby augmenting the profits for those within the alliance.Conversely,retailer-e-commerce platform(ER)alliance tends to increase the optimal retail price and demand across both online and offline channels.Under specific conditions,alliance behavior can also increase the profits of non-alliance members,and the profits derived through alliance channels also exceed those from non-alliance channels.(2)The prevalence of bidirectional free-riding behavior largely remains constant across different alliance configurations.Across these models,bidirectional free-riding typically elevates the equilibrium prices in offline channel while negatively affecting the equilibrium prices in other channel.(3)The effect of cost-sharing shows relative uniformity across the various alliance models.Across all configurations,cost-sharing tends to reduce the manufacturer’s profits.Nonetheless,alliances initiated by the manufacturer can counteract these negative impacts,providing a strategic pathway to bolster CLSC profitability.

Impact of the variation of westerly jets over East Asia on precipitation of eastern China in July

The impact of the northward jump and westward movement of the East Asian westerly jet core fi：om the westem Pacific Ocean to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on precipitation distribution of eastem China is studied. It is concluded that on the one hand, the northward jump of the jet causes the precipitation belt to move northward from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River valley and withdraw during the Mei-yu season; on the other hand, the westward movement of the jet core has no correspondence with withdrawal of the Mei-yu season. However, the earlier or later occurrence of the westward movement of the jet has an influence on the process of the rain belt moving northward than the northward jump of the jet： the rain belt moves northward from the middle-lower Yangtze River valley to the Huaihe River and then to an area between the Yellow River and Huaihe River during years when the time of the westward movement of the jet core is later than that of the northward jump of the jet and from the middle-lower Yangtze River valley to an area between the Yellow River and Huaihe River in other years. Further analysis shows that： （1） The northward jump of the jet and the westward movement of the East Asian westerly jet core causes significant variation of the general atmospheric circulation in middle latitudes and water vapor transport from the western Pacific, but not from the Bay of Bengal. （2） Impact of the northward jump and the westward movement of the East Asian westerly jet core on circulation are different, therefore, water vapor transport from the western Pacific and its impact on the rain belt are different. The earlier or later occurrence of the westward movement of the jet core than the northward jump of the jet causes the process of circulation and water vapor transport to be different which produces a different process of the rain belt moving northward.

诱惑，28楼的那场守候——诺宝葡萄酒沙龙

诺宝葡萄酒沙龙位于上海市明月路188弄。如果你不是经人指点,或是按图索骥,如果你不是偶尔在世茂湖滨的名流会大堂看到那个十八世纪流行于欧美,如今用来当酒桌的黑色印花皮"手提箱",以及那个手工绘制的"巴黎之花"酒瓶,你根本无从知道,在浦东金桥这个别墅区绝无仅有的28楼高度,还藏匿着来自西班牙、阿根廷、法国、意大利、美国和智利的美酒佳酿,那是一个风格迥异,又相互融入彼此欣赏的葡萄酒聚会。她就像一个手执蜡烛静候在窗前的少女,或颦眉、或浅笑,醉人酒红,暗香盈袖。

Black fungus derived aerogel with double faced properties

Black fungus derived carbonaceous aerogel (BFA) was prepared via a convenient and energy efficient ultrasonic disposal process. The adsorption experiments of atmospheric pollutants demonstrated the superior adsorbability of black fungus aerogel on PM2.5, PM10 and formaldehyde. More importantly, black fungus aerogel (BFA) exhibited intriguing double-faced properties. We explored properties of each side of the black fungus from three aspects: water contact angle measurements, liquid selective absorption capacity and air pollutant adsorption abilities. The subsequent modification of ZnO nanosheets endowed the prepared black fungus aerogel with several valuable properties, including broad-spectrum antibacterial capability and high-efficient adsorption ability. These valuable characters implied the BFA to be a promising bacteriostat and cleaner for air and water pollution treatment.

UNIFORMLY CONVERGENT NONCONFORMING TETRAHEDRAL ELEMENT FOR DARCY-STOKES PROBLEM

In this paper,we construct a tetrahedral element named DST20 for the three dimensional Darcy-Stokes problem,which reduces the degrees of velocity in [30].The finite element space Vh for velocity is H(div)-conforming,i.e.,the normal component of a function in Vh is continuous across the element boundaries,meanwhile the tangential component of a function in Vh is average continuous across the element boundaries,hence Vh is H^1- average conforming.We prove that this element is uniformly convergent with respect to the perturbation constant s for the Darcy-Stokes problem.At the same time,we give a discrete de Rham complex corresponding to DST20 element.
