Application of FWA-Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm in the Location of Low-Carbon Cold Chain Logistics Distribution Center in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Metropolitan Area
Hindawi Scientific Programming Volume 2021, Article ID 9945583, 10 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2021/9945583 Research Article Application of FWA-Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm in the Location of Low-Carbon Cold Chain Logistics Distribution Center in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Metropolitan Area Liyi Zhang ,1 Mingyue Fu ,2 Teng Fei ,1 and Xuhua Pan 1 1School of Information Engineering, Tianjin University of Commerce, Tianjin 300134, China 2School of Economics, Tianjin University of Commerce, Tianjin 300134, China Correspondence should be addressed to Xuhua Pan; [email protected] Received 29 March 2021; Accepted 7 July 2021; Published 2 August 2021 Academic Editor: Xiaobo Qu Copyright © 2021 Liyi Zhang et al. +is is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Green development is the hot spot of cold chain logistics today. +erefore, this paper converts carbon emission into carbon emission cost, comprehensively considers cargo damage, refrigeration, carbon emission, time window, and other factors, and establishes the optimization model of location of low-carbon cold chain logistics in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area. Aiming at the problems of the fish swarm algorithm, this paper makes full use of the fireworks algorithm and proposes an improved fish swarm algorithm on the basis of the fireworks algorithm. By introducing the explosion, Gaussian mutation, mapping and selection operations of the fireworks algorithm, the local search ability and diversity of artificial fish are enhanced. Finally, the modified algorithm is applied to optimize the model, and the results show that the location scheme of low-carbon cold chain logistics in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area with the lowest total cost can be obtained by using fireworks-artificial fish swarm algorithm.

The Diary of a Manchu Soldier in Seventeenth-Century China: “My
THE DIARY OF A MANCHU SOLDIER IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY CHINA The Manchu conquest of China inaugurated one of the most successful and long-living dynasties in Chinese history: the Qing (1644–1911). The wars fought by the Manchus to invade China and consolidate the power of the Qing imperial house spanned over many decades through most of the seventeenth century. This book provides the first Western translation of the diary of Dzengmeo, a young Manchu officer, and recounts the events of the War of the Three Feudatories (1673–1682), fought mostly in southwestern China and widely regarded as the most serious internal military challenge faced by the Manchus before the Taiping rebellion (1851–1864). The author’s participation in the campaign provides the close-up, emotional perspective on what it meant to be in combat, while also providing a rare window into the overall organization of the Qing army, and new data in key areas of military history such as combat, armament, logistics, rank relations, and military culture. The diary represents a fine and rare example of Manchu personal writing, and shows how critical the development of Manchu studies can be for our knowledge of China’s early modern history. Nicola Di Cosmo joined the Institute for Advanced Study, School of Historical Studies, in 2003 as the Luce Foundation Professor in East Asian Studies. He is the author of Ancient China and Its Enemies (Cambridge University Press, 2002) and his research interests are in Mongol and Manchu studies and Sino-Inner Asian relations. ROUTLEDGE STUDIES

Chapter 1: Civil Buildings
1 CHAPTER 1: CIVIL BUILDINGS A SURVEY OF DAMAGE TO CIVIL BUILDINGS Xia Jingqian1, Tong Enchong2 and Zhou Bingzhang3 The Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region is situated in the northeastern part of the North China plain and is one of the densely populated and developed regions. During the Tangshan earth- quake civil buildings in this region suffered very severe damage; the damage to and collapse of many residential buildings resulted in great loss of life and property. I. Building Structures Before the Earthquake The Tangshan region includes Tangshan city, Qinhuangdao city and twelve counties, i.e. Fengrun, Fengnan, Luanxian, Luannan, Leting, Changli, Funing, Lulong, Qian-an, Qian-xi, Zunhua and Yutian, and the Baigezhuang Farming Reclamation area. The area of the Tangshan region is 16.5 thousand square kilometers. In Tangshan the area of civil buildings including self- constructed residences was 11.692 million square meters, being 73.7% of the total area of the buildings. The civil buildings included residential buildings of 8.941 million square meters, office buildings of 0.807 million square meters, school buildings of 0.463 million square meters, hospital buildings of 0.225 million square meters and other buildings (store and public buildings, etc.) of 1.256 million square meters. The civil buildings in Tangshan were mainly located in the city and east mining area. Besides, there were 5.483 million square meters of rural civil build- ings in the suburbs of Tangshan city. In other cities, counties and farming reclamation area in the Tangshan area there were 4.969 million units of rural civil building and the total area was about 8.076 million square meters of civil buildings in cities and towns (Table 1).

WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1004.pdf UNESCO Region: ASIA AND THE PACIFIC __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties DA TE OF INSCRIPTION: 2nd December 2000 STATE PARTY: CHINA CRITERIA: C (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Criterion (i):The harmonious integration of remarkable architectural groups in a natural environment chosen to meet the criteria of geomancy (Fengshui) makes the Ming and Qing Imperial Tombs masterpieces of human creative genius. Criteria (ii), (iii) and (iv):The imperial mausolea are outstanding testimony to a cultural and architectural tradition that for over five hundred years dominated this part of the world; by reason of their integration into the natural environment, they make up a unique ensemble of cultural landscapes. Criterion (vi):The Ming and Qing Tombs are dazzling illustrations of the beliefs, world view, and geomantic theories of Fengshui prevalent in feudal China. They have served as burial edifices for illustrious personages and as the theatre for major events that have marked the history of China. The Committee took note, with appreciation, of the State Party's intention to nominate the Mingshaoling Mausoleum at Nanjing (Jiangsu Province) and the Changping complex in the future as an extention to the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS The Ming and Qing imperial tombs are natural sites modified by human influence, carefully chosen according to the principles of geomancy (Fengshui) to house numerous buildings of traditional architectural design and decoration. They illustrate the continuity over five centuries of a world view and concept of power specific to feudal China.
