Important Branch

Cement production belongs to the most important branch of industry. It is marked out by processing of great quantity of natural raw materials and of considerable energetic demand. Not only the intensification of the contemporary production processes is the permanent effort of the cement industry, but also the search for new energy less demanding methods. The paper is focused on one of the most important components of the intensification of cement production – on the preparation of raw meal. It mainly deals with the influence of granulometry and microhomogeneity of the input raw materials on the quality and economy of the process of production and on the final product. The study was carried out mainly by methods of optical microscopy and the determination of technological parameters of cements. It has been found that a change in granulometry of raw meal has a significant impact on the formation rate of the clinker phases. Subsequently, the grindability of the clinker and the strength of the cement are influenced, especially in the short-term hydration. Change of granulometry and homogeneity of raw meal can greatly optimize the quality and economy of the cement production process.

The Impact

The development of information technology has changed the pricing strategy of retailers, and consumers have also made strategic consumption behaviours accordingly. At the same time, changes in the environment have caused changes in the retailer’s products and raised consumers’ environmental awareness. This paper uses a two-stage pricing model to study the low-carbon product pricing decisions of retailers based on strategic consumers with low-carbon preferences in two situations. Through the analysis of low-carbon and ordinary products in two situations, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) In a market where retailers only sell low-carbon products, product prices and profits increase as consumers’ green preference θ increases. (2) In the low-carbon product and ordinary product markets, the price and profit of low-carbon products increase with regard to consumers’ green preference θ . (3) In the second stage, when consumers’ intertemporal discount factor β for ordinary products is larger than that of low-carbon products, the retailer’s total profit is smaller. The research conclusion comprehensively analyses the impact of customer strategic behaviour on the two-stage pricing decision of green differentiated products, which provides a very important reference for retailers to make pricing optimization decisions.

Landfalling Tropical Cyclones

Abstract Landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) often bring about heavy rainfall, which typically decreases with the weakening of the TCs. However, some TCs may suddenly be reinvigorated after they become remnants over land. Such TCs may produce even stronger rains than those at the time of their landfall. This reinvigorating phenomenon is known as “rainfall reinforcement associated with landfalling tropical cyclones” (RRLTC). The TCs triggering rainfall reinforcement account for 9.7% of the total number of TCs that make landfall on mainland China and often cause problems and surprises for forecasters. The TCs with rainfall reinforcement mostly make landfall in the area of the southeastern coast of China and move primarily along two tracks, spreading northward or westward. RRLTC often occurs in the remnant of a tropical depression that has already been downgraded from typhoon intensity, particularly in a period when the remnant has slowed down or even stagnated. The highest frequency of RRLTC occurrence is during the third day after landfall and in the northeast quadrant of a TC moving northward and the southwest quadrants of a TC moving westward. Diagnostic analysis shows that an RRLTC with a northward track can be mainly attributed to the interaction between westerly troughs and the tropical cyclone. In this way, a remnant gains baroclinic energy from the midlatitude trough. Such an interaction does not appear for northward track TCs without rainfall reinforcement. Rainfall reinforcement for TCs with a westward track is mainly due to the interaction between monsoon surge cloud clusters and tropical cyclones, which is favorable for moisture and latent heat gain. Analyses show that the westward TCs would not have rainfall reinforcement without such an interaction. RRLTC requires new energy transport into TCs. The results of the present study indicate that baroclinic potential energy and latent heat are the two major energy sources that will trigger the remnant revival and rainfall reinforcement. Land surface topography also plays an important role in increasing the rainfall of TCs.

New Energy Vehicles

With the reduction of government subsidies for new energy vehicle, it has become an important decision problem for traditional vehicle enterprises with new energy vehicle production qualification to decide how much proportion of new energy vehicles should be produced. By maximizing the utility of the vehicle enterprise, this study analyses the influence of enterprise’s production decision and consumer’s preference payment premium for the performance of new energy vehicle on optimal mixed production and pricing decision after the subsidies withdraw from the new energy vehicle market. The Results show that: (1) consumer’s payment premium increases the proportion of new energy vehicles produced by automobile enterprise. The enterprise only produces traditional fuel vehicles instead of new energy vehicles, when the premium is less than a certain level; and when the payment premium is higher than a certain threshold, the enterprise merely produces new energy vehicles instead of traditional ones. (2) As the rise of consumer’s payment premium, the amount of people who consume vehicles show a downward trend, and finally only 1/2 of consumers will remain to purchase automobiles. (3) There shows a U-shaped relationship between the optimal profit of vehicle enterprise and consumer payment premium that the profit of vehicle enterprise will decline first and then rise with the increase of consumer payment premium.

This paper investigates the product pricing decision-making problem under a consignment stock policy in a two-level supply chain composed of one supplier and multiple retailers. The effects of the supplier’s wholesale prices and its partial inventory cost absorption of the retail prices of retailers with different market shares are investigated. In the partial product consignment model this paper proposes, the seller and the retailers each absorb part of the inventory costs. This model also provides general solutions for the complete product consignment and the traditional policy that adopts no product consignment. In other words, both the complete consignment and nonconsignment models are extensions of the proposed model (i.e., special cases). Research results indicated that the optimal retail price must be between 1/2 (50%) and 2/3 (66.67%) times the upper limit of the gross profit. This study also explored the results and influence of parameter variations on optimal retail price in the model.
