A novel supply chain network evolving model under random and targeted disruptions

Due to the fact that there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how the dynamic nature of supply chain networks (SCNs) interrelates with network structures, particularly network topologies under disruptions. This research employs a novel evolving model of a supply chain network (SCNE model) by modifying the Barabási and Albert (BA)...

A Novel High-temperature Pressure Sensor Based on Graphene Coated by Si3N4

The high-temperature pressure sensors have wide applications in aerospace, petroleum, geothermal exploration, automotive electronics, and other fields. However, the traditional silicon-based pressure sensors are restricted to pressure measurement under 120~{\circ }\text{C} and cannot be satisfied to measure the pressure of various gases or...

Joint energy consumption optimization method for wing-diesel engine-powered hybrid ships towards a more energy-efficient shipping

Wing-diesel engine-powered hybrid ships can effectively reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by using wind energy as the auxiliary driving power. The energy optimization management of the hybrid system can further improve the ship's energy efficiency. To achieve this purpose, it is significant to establish an effective energy...

A novel dynamical collaborative optimization method of ship energy consumption based on a spatial and temporal distribution analysis of voyage data

It is of significant importance to optimize the energy consumption of ships in order to improve economy and reduce CO₂ emissions. However, the energy use of ships is affected by a series of navigational environmental parameters, which have certain spatial and temporal differences and variability. Therefore, the dynamic...

A novel method for joint optimization of the sailing route and speed considering multiple environmental factors for more energy efficient shipping

Energy saving and emission reduction have attracted a great deal of attention in the maritime industry. The optimization of a ship's energy efficiency can reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions effectively. However, most of the available studies only focus on either the sailing speed or route optimization, and the interaction...
