A free chain and a chain with fixing one end are considered here, since the atomic force microscope （AFM） tip can play a significant role in polymer crystallization in experiment. For a free chain, it is confirmed in our calculation that the polymer chain exhibits an extended coil state at high temperatures, collapses into a condensed state at low temperatures, i.e. the coil-to-globule transition that is determined by a high temperature shoulder of the heat capacity curve, and an additional liquid-to-solid transition that is described by a low temperature peak of the same heat curve. These results accord with previous studies of square-well chains and Lennard-Jones homopolymers. However, when one of the end monomers of the same chain is fixed the results become very different, and the chain cannot reach an extended coil-like state as a free chain does at high temperatures, i.e. there exists no coil-to-globule-like transition. These results may provide some insights into the influence of AFM tip when it is used to study the phase behaviour of polymer chains. If the interaction force between AFM tip and polymer monomers is strong, some monomers or one of them can be seen as being fixed by the tip, which is similar to our simulation model, and it is also found that AFM tip could induce polymer crystallization.展开更多

Using the method of multiple scales the nonlinear coupled-mode equations (i.e.Manakov equations) for the upper cutoff mode of acoustic band and the lower cutoff mode of optical band are derived under the quasi-discreteness approximation. Due to the cross-phase modulation the type of soliton excitations may be changed and the vibrating frequencies of these soliton excitations may locate within or outside the gap of magnon frequency bands.展开更多

In some cases, parts of the products such as automobiles, computers, cameras, mobile phones, washing machines, refrigerators, garments, footwear and empty glass bottles of beverages, etc. will be brought back to the factories as a product recovery strategy through reverse logistics network which is integrated in a sustainable closed loop supply chain network. So, it is highly essential to optimize the movement of the items in the reverse logistics network. This paper gives a comprehensive review of literature of the design of networks for the reverse logistics as well as for the reverse logistics coupled with forward logistics. The contributions of the researchers are classified into nine categories based on the methods used to design the logistics network.展开更多

文摘Agricultural production(especially intensive rice production)is a primary income source for over 2.0×10^(7) people in the Vietnamese Mekong River Delta.However,adverse climate change impacts,socio-economic change,and high dependence on farm inputs for intensive production constrain the longer-term sustainability of rice systems.Government and agribusiness actors are encouraging more farmers to grow non-rice crops and supporting the upscaling of alternative crops to paddy rice.We used a qualitative approach to investigate the value chain characteristics,as well as constraints and opportunities of alternative crops via two case studies(baby corn and honeydew melon)in An Giang and Hau Giang provinces,Vietnam.Data collection involved focus group discussions with local farmers and interviews with farmers and industry experts.Thematic analysis was used to compile the findings,and the results were validated with local government staff.The baby corn value chain featured on-going and stable market demand(including value-addition)and better vertical coordination(e.g.,written contracts and financial support).The honeydew melon value chain featured positive relationships between farmers and traders despite less-developed vertical coordination.There are opportunities for value chain engagement through product quality certification,value-addition,and accessing high-value domestic and export markets.However,farmers require crop-specific and generic support from private and public sectors.Increased labour requirements and limited access to finance and credit limit value chain participation.Upscaling and marketing alternative crops can enhance farmer profitability and support non-farming agricultural business establishment,economic growth,and community development.Efficient value chains will be critical to ensure the adoption of alternative crops and development of crop-specific agribusiness models.These findings can inform policy-makers and change facilitators in designing targeted interventions to support the adoption of alternative crops in the study area as well as in Vietnam and globally.

文摘Promoting the deep integration of the innovation,industrial,capital,and talent chains is of great significance to driving high-quality economic and social development.Using the entropy method,a coupling coordination degree model,and a grey relational model,we measure the integration level and subsystem interactions within the Chengdu-Chongqing economic zone from 2019 to 2023.The findings indicate a generally positive trajectory and gradual improvement in overall integration,making a transition from early-stage factor accumulation to deep inter-chain synergy.However,development across the chains remains uneven.Although the talent and innovation chains show relative strength,the innovation chain has weak spillover effects on the industrial chain,with low technological conversion efficiency.The underdeveloped industrial chain further limits overall synergy.Synergistic effects are gradually emerging,but coordination barriers persist.To address these challenges,we recommend optimizing policies for the integration of the four chains,accelerating the conversion of innovations into industrial applications,strengthening alignment between capital and the industrial chain,and enhancing mechanisms for talent attraction and development.These measures are essential for fostering deeper regional integration of the four chains and optimizing the overall development framework.
文摘Purpose-This study explores how managerial leadership and organizational innovation interact to enhance resilience and risk management in railway supply chains and how these capabilities contribute to sustained competitive advantage.It emphasizes the strategic importance of resilience in railway systems that face operational complexity,regulatory pressures and increasing exposure to systemic risks.Design/methodology/approach-A mixed-methods design was employed,integrating survey data from 186 railway organizations with six case studies involving railway operators,rolling stock manufacturers and supply chain partners across multiple regions.Constructs were measured using validated scales and hypothesized relationships were tested using Structural Equation Modeling(SEM).Case study interviews were analyzed thematically to provide contextual understanding of leadership practices and innovation strategies.Findings-The results confirm that transformational managerial leadership significantly predicts innovation adoption,which in turn strengthens resilience and risk management capabilities.Resilience emerged as a powerful driver of competitive advantage,reinforcing its role as a strategic capability rather than a reactive response to disruptions.Furthermore,innovation was shown to partially mediate the relationship between leadership and resilience,highlighting its function as the operational channel through which vision translates into capability.Originality/value-This study contributes to the literature by integrating the Resource-Based View(RBV)and Dynamic Capabilities(DC)framework into the context of railway supply chains.It is among the first to empirically validate the mediating role of innovation between leadership and resilience,offering both theoretical advancements and actionable strategies for building resilient and competitive railway systems.

文摘The shift toward specialized and large-scale agricultural production has spurred the emergence of agricultural clusters as key forces of rural vitalization and sustainable development.This paper explored the formation and evolution of Meizhou pomelo industry cluster in China,focusing on its role in restructuring rural socio-economic systems and integrating the whole value chains.Based on a case study employing qualitative methods such as in-depth interviews and participatory observation,the agricultural cluster evolution of Meizhou pomelo was categorized into three key phases of initial decentralization,self-organized scaling,and reorganized clustering.Geographical proximity and industrial agglomeration constitute the physical foundation,while vertical/horizontal linkages,technologic-al innovation,and policy support enhance competitiveness.Special mechanisms emerge through localized social networks,farmer co-operatives’activation,and cross-regional market expansion.The cluster’s impact is manifested in the shift from extensive to standard-ized and modernized production,diversified and flexible livelihood of farmers,and the integration of agriculture with industry and ser-vices.The development of the whole value chain based on agricultural cluster represents a critical pathway for achieving agricultural modernization,encompassing both internal and external value chain optimization.Through quality assurance systems,product diversi-fication strategies,operational efficiency improvements,and brand enhancement,these clusters amplify product value propositions and market competitiveness.This systemic approach facilitates supply-demand coordination,enables resource synergies,and optimizes eco-nomic returns across the horizontal and vertical value chain.This paper argues that agricultural clusters serve as strategic catalysts for sustainable rural development by reconstructing local production systems,fostering innovation ecosystems,and aligning agricultural modernization.It contributes to debates on rural vitalization by demonstrating how agricultural clustering can reconfigure rural areas as hubs of ecological modernization,rather than mere urban peripheries.
文摘The shift to the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area(CAFTA)3.0 version marked more than just a technical update to an existing trade agreement.It signaled a recalibration ofregional economic cooperation as global trade has increasingly become shaped by digitalization,sustainability concerns,and fragile supply chains.For Indonesia,Southeast Asia’s largest economy and one of its most demographically dynamic,CAFTA 3.0 offers a framework that could materially strengthen its long-term economic position,if navigated with care and intent.

In compound 1,each Al^Ⅲ ion is coordinated by six oxygen atoms to adopt a distorted octahedral geometry. Both fumarate anion and the coordinated boric acid act as bidentate bridging ligands to link two neighboring Al^Ⅲ centers simultaneously. Each Al^Ⅲ ion is bridged by two μ2-hydroxyl ligands to construct an infinite wave-like [Al2（fum）（H3BO3）（OH） 4]n chain. These one-dimensional chains form hydrogen bonds with free boric acid molecules giving rise to a three-dimensional supramolecular network.

文摘The phase behaviour of a single polyethylene chain is studied by using molecular dynamics simulations. A free chain and a chain with fixing one end are considered here, since the atomic force microscope （AFM） tip can play a significant role in polymer crystallization in experiment. For a free chain, it is confirmed in our calculation that the polymer chain exhibits an extended coil state at high temperatures, collapses into a condensed state at low temperatures, i.e. the coil-to-globule transition that is determined by a high temperature shoulder of the heat capacity curve, and an additional liquid-to-solid transition that is described by a low temperature peak of the same heat curve. These results accord with previous studies of square-well chains and Lennard-Jones homopolymers. However, when one of the end monomers of the same chain is fixed the results become very different, and the chain cannot reach an extended coil-like state as a free chain does at high temperatures, i.e. there exists no coil-to-globule-like transition. These results may provide some insights into the influence of AFM tip when it is used to study the phase behaviour of polymer chains. If the interaction force between AFM tip and polymer monomers is strong, some monomers or one of them can be seen as being fixed by the tip, which is similar to our simulation model, and it is also found that AFM tip could induce polymer crystallization.

文摘We utilized two structurally different long chains(linear and branched ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene)to reveal the dependence of flow-induced crystallization on long chain architecture,and prepared two bi-disperse systems of 98 wt%short chain and 2 wt%long chain.A flow field was applied to the bi-disperse polyethylene melt by a modified injection-molding machine,known as oscillation shear injection molding(OSIM).For the first time,the structural influence of long chains on flow-induced shish-kebab formation was systematically investigated.For the intermediate layer of OSIM samples,the branched long chains were better than the linear long chains at inducing shish-kebab formation,agreeing with the reported literatures,because the branches can maintain their oriented conformations longer.But unexpectedly,the reverse is the case for the core layer of OSIM samples,where the shear flow was much weaker than the intermediate layer.To understand the unexpected phenomenon,the lifetime of shishes induced by different long chains was compared.Result demonstrated that the linear-induced shishes possessed higher thermal stability than the branched-induced ones so that the linear-induced shishes could survive in the core layer of OSIM samples.Additionally,unlike other methods for flow-induced crystallization,OSIM could create samples for measuring mechanical properties,and thus offer the chance to reveal the relationship between structure and performance.The mechanical results demonstrated that both long chains remarkably enhanced the mechanical properties because of the significant promoting effect of long chains and intense flow fields on shish-kebab formation.However,the linear long chains induced more stable and flawless shishes with higher tensile strength and modulus(80.4 and 1613.5 Mpa,respectively)than the branched ones(74.4 and 1489.3 Mpa).Our research not only helps elucidate the mechanism of shish-kebab formation but also provides a better choice to reinforce polymers by adding long chains with suitable structure.

文摘Stochastic modeling techniques have been widely applied to oil-gas reservoir lithofacies.Markov chain simulation~however~is still under development~mainly because of the difficulties in reasonably defining conditional probabilities for multi-dimensional Markov chains and determining transition probabilities for horizontal strike and dip directions.The aim of this work is to solve these problems.Firstly~the calculation formulae of conditional probabilities for multi-dimensional Markov chain models are proposed under the full independence and conditional independence assumptions.It is noted that multi-dimensional Markov models based on the conditional independence assumption are reasonable because these models avoid the small-class underestimation problem.Then~the methods for determining transition probabilities are given.The vertical transition probabilities are obtained by computing the transition frequencies from drilling data~while the horizontal transition probabilities are estimated by using well data and the elongation ratios according to Walther's law.Finally~these models are used to simulate the reservoir lithofacies distribution of Tahe oilfield in China.The results show that the conditional independence method performs better than the full independence counterpart in maintaining the true percentage composition and reproducing lithofacies spatial features.
文摘The dynamics of coupled band gap solitons in one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnetic chains with bond alternation is considered analytically. Using the method of multiple scales the nonlinear coupled-mode equations (i.e.Manakov equations) for the upper cutoff mode of acoustic band and the lower cutoff mode of optical band are derived under the quasi-discreteness approximation. Due to the cross-phase modulation the type of soliton excitations may be changed and the vibrating frequencies of these soliton excitations may locate within or outside the gap of magnon frequency bands.

文摘The productivity of an organization is very much affected by non-value adding activity like logistics, which moves the resources from suppliers to factory, raw materials/semi-finished items within the factory and finished goods from factory to customers via a designated distribution channel called as forward logistics. In some cases, parts of the products such as automobiles, computers, cameras, mobile phones, washing machines, refrigerators, garments, footwear and empty glass bottles of beverages, etc. will be brought back to the factories as a product recovery strategy through reverse logistics network which is integrated in a sustainable closed loop supply chain network. So, it is highly essential to optimize the movement of the items in the reverse logistics network. This paper gives a comprehensive review of literature of the design of networks for the reverse logistics as well as for the reverse logistics coupled with forward logistics. The contributions of the researchers are classified into nine categories based on the methods used to design the logistics network.

文摘Electromagnetic cooperative strategy has been presented as a mainstream approach that can effectively optimize the matching thickness of dielectric loss dominant system.However,it is still challenging for dielectric–magnetic loss coexisting-type absorber to develop electromagnetic wave(EMW)performance with ultra-low matching thickness(≤1 mm).Breaking the limitation of traditional electromagnetic response at microscopic/mesoscopic scale,a ficus microcarpa-like magnetic aerogel with macroscopical electromagnetic cooperative effect was fabricated through highly oriented self-assembly engineering.The highly oriented Ni chains with unique macroscopic morphology(~1 cm in length)were achieved via a special magnetic field-induced growth.Strong magnetic coupling was observed in the Ni chains confirmed by the micromagnetic simulation.The deductive calculation validates that maintaining high value of electromagnetic parameters at high frequencies is the prerequisites of ultrathin absorber.The electromagnetic cooperative networks with uninterrupted and dual pathways spread through the entire aerogel skeleton,resulting in the impressive permittivity even at high frequencies.Consequently,the aerogel exhibits a remarkable EMW performance at an ultrathin thickness of 1 mm.Thus,based on the modulation of electromagnetic parameters,this work proposed a macroscopic ordered structure with the electromagnetic cooperative effect useful to develop a suitable strategy for achieving ultrathin EMW absorbers.

文摘Purpose:With the availability and utilization of Inter-Country Input-Output(ICIO)tables,it is possible to construct quantitative indices to assess its impact on the Global Value Chain(GVC).For the sake of visualization,ICIO networks with tremendous low-weight edges are too dense to show the substantial structure.These redundant edges,inevitably make the network data full of noise and eventually exert negative effects on Social Network Analysis(SNA).In this case,we need a method to filter such edges and obtain a sparser network with only the meaningful connections.Design/methodology/approach:In this paper,we propose two parameterless pruning algorithms from the global and local perspectives respectively,then the performance of them is examined using the ICIO table from different databases.Findings:The Searching Paths(SP)method extracts the strongest association paths from the global perspective,while Filtering Edges(FE)method captures the key links according to the local weight ratio.The results show that the FE method can basically include the SP method and become the best solution for the ICIO networks.Research limitations:There are still two limitations in this research.One is that the computational complexity may increase rapidly while processing the large-scale networks,so the proposed method should be further improved.The other is that much more empirical networks should be introduced to testify the scientificity and practicability of our methodology.Practical implications:The network pruning methods we proposed will promote the analysis of the ICIO network,in terms of community detection,link prediction,and spatial econometrics,etc.Also,they can be applied to many other complex networks with similar characteristics.Originality/value:This paper improves the existing research from two aspects,namely,considering the heterogeneity of weights and avoiding the interference of parameters.Therefore,it provides a new idea for the research of network backbone extraction.
