First, a fuzzy model is proposed by taking multiple customers, multiple commodities, capacitated facility location and integrated logistics facility layout into account. In the model, the fuzzy customer demands and transportation rates are illustrated by triangular fuzzy numbers. Secondly, the fuzzy model is converted into a crisp model by applying fuzzy chance constrained theory and possibility theory, and one hybrid genetic algorithm is designed for the crisp model. Finally, two different examples are designed to illustrate that the model and solution discussed are valid.展开更多

In this problem, there is delivery or pickup (or both) and uncertain features in the demands of the clients. The deliveries of every client as uncertain parameters are expressed as triangular fuzzy numbers. In order to describe MVRPRL, a multi-objective fuzzy programming model with credibility measure theory is constructed. Then the simulationbased tabu search algorithm combining inter-route and intra-route neighborhoods and embedded restarts are designed to solve it. Computational results show that the tabu search algorithm developed is superior to sweep algorithms and that compared with handling each on separate routes, the transportation costs can be reduced by 43% through combining pickups with deliveries.展开更多

The main objectives of the study are to increase the degree of economic integration between the two countries and improve commercial exchanges and direct investments in Algeria by Italian private companies. Moreover, the study tries to promote Italy's role as logistic platform for Mediterranean Countries along the east-west and north-south corridors and to improve the capacity of Italian regions to manage international cooperation programs on transport and logistics, finally, to support regional entrepreneurship in the foreign services sector.展开更多

Applying a fixed point argument, LP- estimate technique and Moser's iteration, we derive that the model admits a unique 1 global solution provided the initial cell mass satisfying ||u0||L1≤ X4/xaCGN-2+1/σ+1σ(σ + 1)-1/σ-1|Ω| for σ = 1. While for σ〉 1, there are no restrictions on the initial cell mass and the result still holds.展开更多

Numerous organic semiconductors, including small molecules and conjugated polymers, have been designed and synthesized to explore the potential of organic materials in optoelectronic industry. One-dimensional micro/nanostructures of organic semiconductors generally have more ordered packing structure with fewer defects compared with thin films, and are thus thought to show intrinsic carrier mobility of organic materials. Moreover, the packing structure in micro/nanostructures is clear and relatively easy to analyze, which makes these micro/nanostructures a good platform to study structure-property relationship. Therefore, design of suitable organic molecules to form micro-/nanostructures and methods to obtain ideal micro/nanostructures for functional devices will be fully discussed in this mini review. Finally, the perspective and opportunity of 1D micro/nanostructured organic materials based OFETs in the near future are also addressed.展开更多
