Research on the Mechanism of Cold Chain Logistics Subsidy by Nai-Ru Xu, Zheng-Qun Cai

“…Based on the decentralized decision-making model without government subsidy, a differential pricing model for cold chain agro-products and ordinary agro-products with government subsidy is established in order to reduce the cost of cold chain agro-products. The optimal pricing strategy of two agro-products suppliers and their downstream retailer can be obtained by solving this problem. …”

Rapid Determination of Escherichia coli Concentration in Water Using Multiwavelength Transmission Spectroscopy by Yuxia Hu, Ruixiang Zhang, Liye Guo, Dun Hu

“…First, we measure the transmission spectra for E. coli suspensions in the region from 200 to 900 nm and analyze the differences in the spectral characteristics at different concentrations; subsequently, considering that the concentration is affected by the instrument linearity and other factors, the sensitivity, correlation, and detection ability of the spectra at different wavelengths with the change of concentration are analyzed, and the optimal characteristic band is selected according to its wavelength variation characteristics; finally, the determination of E. coli concentrations are completed by using the optimal characteristic band spectra combined with partial least squares regression. …”
