Green Supply Chain Decisions and Revenue-Sharing Contracts under Manufacturers’ Overconfidence by Hui Zhou, Lu Liu, Weifan Jiang, Shengsheng Li

“…In this paper, we define manufacturers’ overconfidence as a belief bias that they overestimate the impact of product greenness on demand and the accuracy of demand uncertainty. We build a game theory model based on overconfident beliefs, address the decisions of product greenness and price, and discuss the impact of manufacturers’ overconfidence on supply chain decisions and profits. …”

Damage Evolution of Concrete Piles Mixed with Admixtures in Marine Corrosion and Freeze-Thaw Environment by Yan Li, Bing Li, Lianying Zhang, Chao Ma

“…When the corrosion time is 270 d and the freeze-thaw time is 90 times, the strength of concrete decreases by 13% and the elastic modulus decreases by 5%. Then, based on the theory of damage mechanics, the damage evolution and constitutive model of concrete under the marine corrosion and freeze-thaw environment are established. …”

Efficient Computation of Shortest Paths in Networks Using Particle Swarm Optimization and Noising Metaheuristics by Ammar W. Mohemmed, Nirod Chandra Sahoo

“…This paper presents a novel hybrid algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and noising metaheuristics for solving the single-source shortest-path problem (SPP) commonly encountered in graph theory. This hybrid search process combines PSO for iteratively finding a population of better solutions and noising method for diversifying the search scheme to solve this problem. …”

A Generalization of Electromagnetic Fluctuation-Induced Casimir Energy by Yi Zheng

“…Though it is confirmation of the famous work of Dzyaloshinskii, Lifshitz, and Pitaevskii (DLP), we have solved the problem without having to use methods from quantum field theory that DLP resorted to. Because of this new approach, we have been able to clarify the contributions of propagating and evanescent waves to Casimir energy/pressure in dissipative media.…”

Democratic Practices and Local Government Elections in Nigeria: Demystifying the Emerging Issues by Timothy Onimisi

“…Secondary data were used and content analysis was equally adopted for the work, while democratic participatory theory was employed. The research found that most of the state governors prefer the use of caretaker committees, which is not recognized by the constitution of the country rather than conducting a periodic election for people at the grassroots because of economic benefit and to accord themselves a political advantage over their perceived opponents. …”
