According to the findings of Rogers and Tibben- Lembke, the total logistics cost amounted to USD 862 billion in 1997, and the total cost spent in reverse logistics is enormous and amounted to approximately USD 35 billion, which was around 4% of the total logistics cost in the same year [3].

The concept of reverse logistics was put forward by Stock in the 1990s, which aims This article is an open access article at high efficiency and environmental protection and which maximizes the application distributed under the terms and value of products by optimizing the operation structure [4].

Sci. 2021, 11, 6466 2 of 25 evolved into a closed-loop system because of the participation of reverse logistics. Reverse logistics, including product return, maintenance, remanufacturing, waste disposal and other processes, is the mirror reverse process of traditional logistics. The purpose of this method is to extract and utilize the value in the waste repeatedly and to improve the production chain [5]. Regarding distribution paths, the routing and scheduling of reverse logistics are more complex than those of forward logistics. The routing of reverse logistics starts from the designated regional distribution center to the centralized return center and then to manufacturers for remanufacturing or to manufacturers directly without passing through the centralized return center. Due to the uncertainty of return quantities, the physical flow channel is more complicated than that in forward logistics. Since different areas have various product return rates, the locations of collection points can significantly affect the efficiency of recycling [3]. A series of systemic theoretical explorations and literature reports for reverse logis- tics location have been investigated in recent years [5,6]. For example, Savaskan et al. established a decentralized decision system with three schemes and concluded that the agent nearest to the customer is the best one to undertake product recycling [7]. Park et al. analyzed the influences of different subjects on recycling price and profit and built a closed-loop supply chain model with a single recycling channel [8]. Liu et al. investi- gated the competition between formal recycling channels and the informal, concluding that high-quality recycled products were more attractive to the two recycling channels, while the non-normal recycling channels were willing to recycle at a higher price [9]. Tas- birul et al. estimated the economic value generated in the recycling logistics of electronic waste gas based on the sales inventory life model and provided suggestions for decision makers [10]. In addition, construction of a reverse logistics model is an important part of the research on reverse logistics location. Shih et al. studied the recycling model of waste household appliances with the aim of minimizing the recycling cost and analyzed the influence of recovery rate and storage state on the recycling network [11]. Lee et al. built a two-stage recycling model and carried out an entry study on the problem of uncer- tain recycling quantity [12]. To solve the multi-objective optimization problem of reverse logistics location, some evolutionary algorithms have been applied, e.g., the ant colony algorithm [13], simulated annealing algorithm [14], particle swarm optimization [15] and the genetic algorithm [16]. In summary, most of the existing research literature starts from cost recovery or benefit recovery and takes the maximum benefit or minimum cost as the objective function. However, economic benefit is only one of the benefits of reverse logistics, and how to use recycling behavior to produce considerable environmental benefits cannot be ignored. It is contrary to the original intention of the circular economy to take economic benefit as a single goal. Thus, it is necessary to take energy consumption or other indicators that can reflect the utilization of resources into consideration and to consider the balance between each indicator and the profit of each objective. In addition, how to efficiently achieve optimal design under multiple factors and objective functions has become a significant research topic and can be regarded as a typical multi-objective optimization problem. This paper formulates a double objective function optimization model of reverse logistics facility location considering the symmetry among the functional objectives of the carbon emissions and benefits. A hybrid multi-objective optimization algorithm that combines a gravitation algorithm and a particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to solve this reverse logistics facility location model. Subsequently, an empirical case of a mobile phone recycling logistics network in Jilin Province is applied to verify the feasibility of the proposed reverse logistics facility location model and the multi-objective optimization method. Analysis and discussion are conducted to monitor the robustness of the results. The paper is organized as follows: Section2 introduces a reverse logistics facility location model with the functional objectives of addressing carbon emissions and the resulting benefits. In Section3, we develop a hybrid multi-objective optimization algorithm, Appl.

  • Reconstructing the Evolutionary History of Chinese Dialects
    Reconstructing the Evolutionary History of Chinese Dialects Esra Erdem Institute of Information Systems, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria [email protected] Feng Wang Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Peking University, Beijing, China [email protected] Evolutionary relations between languages based on their shared characteristics can be represented as a phylogeny --- a tree where the leaves represent the extant languages, the internal vertices represent the ancestral languages, and the edges represent the genetic relations between the languages. On the other hand, languages not only inherit characteristics from their ancestors but also sometimes borrow them from other languages. Such borrowings can be represented by additional non-tree edges, turning a phylogeny into a phylogenetic network. With this motivation, we reconstruct the evolutionary history of languages in two steps: first we compute a plausible phylogeny with a minimal number of incompatible characters, and then we turn this phylogeny into a perfect phylogenetic network, by adding a small number of lateral edges, so that all characters are compatible with the network. For both steps, to formulate the problems and to solve them, we use answer set programming --- a new form of declarative programming. This method has been successfully applied to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Indo-European languages. In the following we summarize its application to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Old Chinese and the following 23 Chinese dialects: Guangzhou, Liancheng, Meixian, Taiwan, Xiamen, Zhangping, Fuzhou, Nanchang, Anyi, Shuangfeng, Changsha, Beijing, Yuci, Taiyuan, Ningxia, Chengdu, Yingshan, Wuhan, Ningbo, Suzhou, Shangai 1, Shangai 2, Wenzhou. We have started with a dataset consisting of 200 lexical characters (the Swadesh wordlist), each with 1--24 states.

  • The Standardization of Procedures in Village Committee Elections
    The Standardization of Villager Committee Election Procedures Survey Analysis of the 5th Round of Villager Committee Elections in 40 Villages from Five Counties in Jilin Province Sun Long and Tong Zhihui I. Survey Background, Purpose, and Methodology Chinese villager committee elections have entered a phase of legalization and standardization, as indicated by the formal promulgation of the Organic Law on Villager Committees in 1998. Jilin Province is the birthplace of the haixuan method of villager committee elections. Haixuan, or “sea election,” means that candidates are not predetermined by higher- level government offices or leaders but nominated by villagers having the right to vote. Final candidates are then determined according to the number of nominations each individual receives. (Wang Zhoutian, 1995) As early as 1986, a portion of Lishu County, Jilin Province began using the haixuan method. By the 4th round of village committee elections in 1997, 86.8% of all villages in Jilin Province had moved to the haixuan method. (Jilin Province People’s Congress Internal Affairs and Justice Committee, et al., 2001) In November 2000, the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress in Jilin Province ratified the Jilin Province Measures for the Election of Villager Committees , standardizing many procedures in villager committee elections. Under the guidance of these Measures, the 5th round of villager committee elections in Jilin Province were held between November 2000 and March 2001. To determine how well the election procedures had been implemented in the villager committee elections, in July 2001 the Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA) Department of Basic- Level Governance and Community Construction conducted a survey of 790 cadres and villagers in 40 villages randomly selected from five counties in Jilin Province.

As the main carrier and manifestation of elements, mobility such as people and material, traffic flow is of great significance for understanding the characteristics of spatial connection. In this paper, Harbin-Changchun agglomeration proposed by China's New Urbanization Plan (2014-2020) is taken as a research object. With the data of intercity passenger traffic flow including highway and railway passenger trips between 73 county-level spatial units in the research area, a traffic flow model is constructed to measure the intensity of spatial connection.

Land subsidence can accelerate the increase in relative sea level, lead to a series of potential hazards, and threaten the stability of the ecological environment and human lives. In this paper, we adopted two commonly used multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MTInSAR) techniques, Small baseline subset (SBAS) and Temporarily coherent point (TCP) InSAR, to monitor the land subsidence along the entire coastline of Guangdong Province. The long-wavelength L-band ALOS/PALSAR-1 dataset collected from 2007 to 2011 is used to generate the average deformation velocity and deformation time series. Linear subsidence rates over 150 mm/yr are observed in the Chaoshan Plain.
