Simulation Study on the Evolutionary Game Mechanism of Collaborative Innovation in Supply Chain Enterprises and Its Influencing Elements by Jue-Ping Xie, Huai-Ying Lei

“…As a result, the three players are more likely to agree on their cooperation approach. (2) When the three players have different independent and innovative capabilities, they are more willing to innovate if the collaborative innovation gain coefficient increases, but supply chain players with stronger capability are more active to innovate than their peers. …”

Waterlogging Simulation and Drainage Countermeasures of Aotou Yuanpan Area in Daya Bay Based on MIKE URBAN by TAN Yuxin, WU Duanwei

“…Under the multiple impacts of urbanization,extreme rainstorms,and tidal level,the waterlogging situation in coastal cities is severe.To effectively assess the risk of waterlogging in coastal cities and propose targeted waterlogging prevention and control strategies,this study employs MIKE URBAN to analyze the drainage capacity of the pipe network and simulate urban waterlogging in Aotou Yuanpan of Daya Bay.The results show that the design frequency of 86% current pipe network is less than once a year,and the total waterlogged area is 631 824 m²,with the water retention time exceeding 24 h in Aotou Yuanpan.Therefore,the waterlogging is caused by the low drainage standards of the pipe network and the riverway.The waterlogged water can be directly discharged to Danao River by setting up a 32 m³/s pumping station and building new culverts on Zhongxing Central Road,Beiao Road,and Jingang Road in the independent Yuanpan catchment area.Meanwhile,the total waterlogged area can be reduced to 5 248 m²,and the water depth and retention time can be lowered to less than 0.15 m and 0 h respectively,thus effectively alleviating the waterlogging in Aotou Yuanpan.This study provides a solution for the reconstruction of drainage facilities and the prevention and control of waterlogging disasters in Aotou Old Town,which carries certain reference significance for engineering projects of the same type.…”

Damage due to ice crystallization by Menno Demmenie, Paul Kolpakov, Boaz van Casteren, Dirk Bakker, Daniel Bonn, Noushine Shahidzadeh

“…The pressure can be understood quantitatively based on thermodynamics which correctly predicts that the crystallization pressure on the inclusion boundary is independent of the volume of the liquid pocket. Finally, our results also reveal that by changing the wetting properties of the confining walls, the formation of the liquid pockets that cause the mechanical damage can be avoided.…”

The relations between body mass index, motor skills, and physical self-concept in determining physical activities of junior karatekas by Miroljub Ivanović, Uglješa Ivanović

“…With their positive direction, the independent variables of the physical self-concept strength (β = 0.049; p < 0.01), flexibility (β = 0.037; p < 0.01) and self-respect (β = 0.019; p< 0.05) showed the maximum statistically significant contribution to predicting the variability of the participants' PA, which means that junior karatekas who manifest the higher level of perception on those variables exhibit the higher level of PA. …”

A Comparative Study of K±/π± Ratio in Proton-Proton Collisions at Different Energies: Experimental Results versus Model Simulation by Swarnapratim Bhattacharyya, Maria Haiduc, Alina Tania Neagu, Elena Firu

“…Experimentally it has been observed that as energy increases, the total kaon to pion multiplicity ratio K++K-/π++π-=K/π increases systematically for pp collisions at lower energies and becomes independent of energy in LHC energy regime. Our analysis on total kaon to pion multiplicity ratio K++K-/π++π-=K/π with UrQMD data is well supported by the experimental results obtained by different collaborations in different times. …”
