Optimization problems in liquefied natural gas transport and storage for multimodal transport companies by Hongyu Zhang, Yiwei Wu, Lu Zhen, Yong Jin, Shuaian Wang

“…The uneven global distribution of LNG often compels residents in regions without local sources to import it, underscoring the need to optimize the global LNG transportation network. Therefore, this study formulates a nonlinear mixed-integer programming model for a multimodal transport and storage problem to optimize LNG carrier allocation, LNG storage planning, and LNG transport planning, aiming to minimize the total cost of multimodal transport, minus the rewards offered by ports. …”

How to Coordinate Urban Ecological Networks and Street Green Space Construction? Insights from a Multi-Scale Perspective by Shujun Hou, Ying Yu, Taeyeol Jung, Xin Han

“…Ecological pinch points were located near urban rivers and surrounding woodlands, while ecological barrier points were concentrated in areas with dense buildings and complex transportation networks. (2) Higher street GVI values were observed around university campuses, urban parks, and river-adjacent streets, while lower GVI values were found near commercial areas and transportation hubs. (3) To coordinate the construction of ecological networks and street green spaces, the central area of the First Ring Road and the northwestern region of the Second and Third Ring Roads were identified as priority restoration areas, while the northern, western, and southeastern areas of the Second and Third Ring Roads were designated as priority protection areas. …”
