An Optimization Model for Port Service Network of Refrigerated Containers Based on Transportation Time Reliability International Journal of Engineering and Technology, Vol. 9, No. 5, October 2017 An Optimization Model for Port Service Network of Refrigerated Containers Based on Transportation Time Reliability Xiangqun Song, Qianli Ma, Wenyuan Wang, and Shibo Li Abstract—In order to develop the transshipment and temperature, when the temperature get control, time processing capacity of port nodes in the container port service reliability can be decisive to evaluate the efficiency of cold network and meet the increasing demand for cold chain chain logistics. Domestic and foreign researchers have logistics transportation, container flow quantity should be conducted a lot of research in the past which can be reasonably distributed in port nodes which undertake primarily divided into two aspects. The first aspect is the functions of transportation and transfer in the cold chain. evaluation and calculation method of time reliability. For Through the study of refrigerated container service network, this paper establishes an optimization model for port service example, Chang J. S. [7] defined time reliability as the network of refrigerated container with minimizing the total difference between actual arrival time and schedule time, cost as the objective, transportation time reliability and storage Liang C. Y. [8] established the time reliability calculation capacity of the refrigerated container in port nodes as model from two aspects of the running time and the waiting constraints to achieve the optimal container flow allocation in time, and Namazi-Rad M. R. [9] introduced time window to transshipment ports under different supply and demand evaluate the reliability, Jong G. D. [10] took the method of quantity. preference survey to assess the transportation time reliability. The second aspect is the optimization problems constrained Index Terms—Port service network, transportation time by time reliability. Yao B. [11] took the influence of the reliability, storage capacity, refrigerated containers travel time randomness on the reliability into consideration and proposed optimization model of public transport network, and Xu Wangtu [12] took arrival time reliability as I. INTRODUCTION main constraint to solve maximum transport capacity of freight network. Most of the existing studies take In the global shipping market, getting the right goods at point-to-point single transport line as the object to research the right time and place is as important as reducing costs. In its time reliability, but less researchers take into account that order to meet the high level of requirement of food transportation time uncertainty of each line in the different transportation, cold chain logistics has gained rapid stage impacts the reliability of the whole transportation development in the past few years. Refrigerated containers network. On the other hand, refrigerated containers must get play an increasingly important role in the cold chain into specialized refrigerated slots for storage after arriving at logistics because of its advantages of flexibility in loading the port, so storage capacity of refrigerated containers of the and unloading, stability in goods transport temperature and port has important influence on the assignment of transport low pollution. At present, the refrigerated container quantity. In the current study, the method of fixed value [13] transportation is mainly based on maritime transportation or statistical data analysis [14] is used to determine the port and chooses transshipment port for affiliation in the process capacity constraints, and the uncertainty of port capacity is of ocean transportation according to loading, unloading and not considered. In view of the above analysis, this paper will transshipment requirements, thus forming the large shipping divide the transport process of each route into three stages: network with ports as nodes and multi parallel routes. The maritime transportation, transfer work, and following optimization of multi routes and ports has attracted the maritime transportation, considering the effects of interest of many scholars, such as optimization problems transportation time randomness of each stage on the time aimed at port container transportation demand segmentation reliability of the whole shipping transportation network and [1], optimal transportation route design problems between random variable to describe the port’s storage capacity of seaports and hinterland ports [2], optimal transport mode the refrigerated container, and finally establish an combination problems of multimodal container optimization model for port service network of refrigerated transportation [3], allocation optimization problems of containers to ensure the optimal transport quantity of each multimodal container transportation [4]; heuristic algorithm route. [5], ant colony algorithm [6] and etc. are applied in the course of the study to solve the optimization model. Since the quality of cargo is sensitive to time and II.

  • Chinese Views of Korean History in the Cold War Era Jin Linbo 150 | Joint U.S.-Korea Academic Studies
    Chinese Views of Korean History in the Cold War Era Jin Linbo 150 | Joint U.S.-Korea Academic Studies This chapter draws a rough sketch of the evolution of Chinese views on Korean history in the Cold War era in three parts. The first focuses on the formulation of Chinese views of the Korean War in 1950 and the mainstream assessment of the war after Sino-South Korean diplomatic normalization in 1992. The second focuses on China’s attitudes and policies toward the two Koreas in the Cold War years. The third deals with the changes and limits of perceptions on Korean history after diplomatic normalization and their impact on bilateral relations between Beijing and Seoul. For centuries many Chinese have firmly believed that the relationship between China and the Korean Peninsula is like that between lips and teeth, they are not only close to but also dependent upon each other. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. From the middle of nineteenth century, the geopolitical proximity and interdependence between the two have become the determining factors in formulating Chinese perceptions towards Korea. Since then the national security concerns symbolized by the sense of lips and teeth had been frequently stressed by some Chinese intellectuals and officials when both China and Korea were exposed to the growing imperialist expansion and geopolitical competition in East Asia. In order to maintain the traditional tributary relationship between China and Korea, China fought the first Sino-Japanese War in 1894-95. Although it was miserably defeated, and Korea was consequently annexed to the Japanese empire in 1910, the Chinese sense of lips and teeth remained undiminished.

Within the span of three years, the BHMC soared to become China’s second-ranked automotive manufacturer in terms of units sold. I highlight the role of the Beijing municipal government in creating favourable market conditions for the BHMC during its initial operation phase (2002–2005). The Beijing municipal government selectively adopted protectionist measures and liberalizing measures to promote its locally based company. I characterize this practice as fragmented liberalization, a system through which sub-national governments discriminately apply WTO or central gov- ernment regulations to promote their local joint venture partner.

  • The Effectiveness of Sanctions Revisited: an Empirical Analysis Using a Bargaining and Enforcement Framework
    THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SANCTIONS REVISITED: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS USING A BARGAINING AND ENFORCEMENT FRAMEWORK Bo Ram Kwon A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science. Chapel Hill, NC 2013 Approved by: Navin A. Bapat Mark J. C. Crescenzi Layna Mosley Tom Carsey Lars Schoultz 2013 Bo Ram Kwon ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BO RAM KWON: The Effectiveness of Economic Sanctions Revisited: An Empirical Analysis Using a Bargaining and Enforcement Framework (Under the direction of Navin A. Bapat) While extant research on economic sanctions have identified various state-level variables that affect the effectiveness of economic sanctions, this study examines sanctions success by incorporating the role of the firm. I argue that imposing sanctions creates an enforcement dilemma for sanctioning states or senders. Namely, unlike the decision to impose sanctions, senders often have disincentives to enforce their sanctions policies on their firms, given that the restriction on economic transactions with targeted states may undermine their competitiveness. Following a strategic bargaining framework that consists of a sender, its firm and a target state, I propose that sanctions are more likely to succeed when the sender's firm retains a moderate share of the target's market relative to its foreign competitors. Also, I argue that due to strategic interaction, sanctions are more likely to be imposed when the conditions do not favor their success. The detailed case illustration and large-N quantitative analysis support these predictions and suggest that sanctions enforcement is indeed critical in determining sanctions success.

Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies. Sinographs (hanzi, also called tetragraphs [fangkuaizi]) and other unusual symbols should be kept to an absolute minimum. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.
