Decision-Making of a Dual-Channel Closed-Loop Supply Chain in the Context Government Policy: A Dynamic Game Theory by Xuemei Zhang, Qianwen Li, Guohu Qi

“…Comparing the case without RPP, R’s profit decreases, and when the carbon emission cap is very big and the lowest recycling amount is very small, M’s profit increases. (3) In most cases, the three government RPPs can effectively control the total carbon emission and increase the social welfare, but they damage the benefits of retailers and consumers. …”

Investigation into the reduction of aerodynamic drag via external windshields on high-speed trains by Jin Yongrong, Chen Xiaoli

“…Additionally, a high-velocity airflow occurs in the gap between the external and internal windshields, reaching speeds up to 90 m/s. In open-line conditions, the external windshield decreases the train’s overall aerodynamic resistance by approximately 14.46%, while in tunnels, it achieves a reduction of about 24.48%. …”

Experimental Investigation of Impact Response of RC Slabs with a Sandy Soil Cushion Layer by Jianli Wu, Guotao Ma, Zhenhua Zhou, Xuefeng Mei, Xiewen Hu

“…In addition, the attenuation rate of the impact force acting on the cushion layer increased exponentially with the increase in the cushion layer thickness, and the peak impact force could be attenuated by approximately 70% at a thickness of 0.6 m. Finally, the failure process and failure modes of the RC slabs were investigated.…”
