Optimal recycling price strategy of clothing enterprises based on closed-loop supply chain

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>More and more garment enterprises begin to pay attention to the importance of recycling, take the corresponding recycling strategy to recycle garment products and remanufacture, forming a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). In reality, recycling is a complex system, the recycling strategy of clothing brands will not only affect the reverse channel of closed-loop supply chain, but also affect the consumer demand of forward channel, and then affect the profit of supply chain. In order to solve this problem, we propose a CLSC composed of a manufacturer, a retailer and a collector, establish three different Stackelberg leadership models, and derive the optimal recycling strategy. Our results show that consumers' sensitivity to the recycling price will affect the optimal decision of supply chain members. The increase of the recycling market is not always beneficial to the profits of supply chain members. By comparing the profits of the three models, it is found that the retailer leadership model is the most effective scenario of CLCS. The results of this paper provide a reference for garment enterprises to formulate recycling strategies.</p>

Deep extended feedback codes

A new Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based error correction encoder architecture for channels with feedback, called Deep Extended Feedback (DEF), is presented in this paper. The encoder in the DEF architecture transmits an information message followed by a sequence of parity symbols which are generated based on the message as well as the observations of the past forward channel outputs sent to the transmitter through a feedback channel. DEF codes generalize Deepcode in several ways: parity symbols are generated based on forward channel output observations over longer time intervals in order to provide better error correction capability; and high-order modulation formats are deployed in the encoder so as to achieve increased spectral efficiency. Performance evaluations show that DEF codes have better performance compared to other DNN-based codes for channels with feedback.

Investigating a green supply chain with product recycling under retailer's fairness behavior

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Due to the rapid increment of environmental pollution and advancement of society, recently many manufacturing firms have started greening their products and focusing on product remanufacturing. The retailing firms are also taking several efforts for marketing those products and thinking more about the fairness of the business. Keeping this in mind, this study investigates the effect of recycling activity and the retailer's fairness behavior on pricing, green improvement, and marketing effort in a closed-loop green supply chain. In the forward channel, the manufacturer sells the green product through the retailer while in the reverse channel, either the manufacturer or the retailer or an independent third-party collects used products. The centralized model and six decentralized models are developed depending on the retailer's fairness behavior and/or product recycling. The optimal results are derived and compared analytically. The analytical results are verified by exemplifying a numerical example. A restitution-based wholesale price contract is developed to resolve the channel conflicts and coordinate the supply chain. Our results reveal that (ⅰ) the manufacturer never selects the third-party as a collector of used products under fair-neutral retailer, (ⅱ) the fairness behavior of the retailer improves her profitability but it diminishes the manufacturer's profit, and (ⅲ) if the manufacturer does not pay much transfer price, then the collection through the third-party is preferable to the fair-minded retailer.</p>

ABOUT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SIGNAL POWER, NUMBER OF M-QAM POSITIONS AND NOISE IMMUNITY IN BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEMS

Is studied the effect of measurement error on the accuracy of selecting the modulation type in the transmitter of the base station. The article discusses changes in the statistical characteristics of the measured signal as it passes through the stage of the feedback loop of the system of the LMDS type. Probabilistic characteristics of pilot-signal are determined at the output of this loop. The aim of the work was to find a compromise between the type of modulation and the power of the BS transmitter to maintain the transmission faithfulness within the given limits in the forward channel of an interactive wireless broadband radio access system of the LMDS. In this system a transition is made from one type of modulation to another in order to maintain the noise immunity of the system within the admissible limits. An adaptive controlling method of modulation type makes it possible to obtain an energy gain in the forward channel of the system. It is useful to determine the type of modulation by measuring the current value of the signal-to-interference ratio at the base station (BS) receiver. For this purpose a pilot signal is transmitted on the reverse channel of the system. This signal, passing through the turbulent medium, undergoes attenuation, and therefore at the input of the BS receiver we have a random process. Moreover, the distribution law of this process can be different and is determined by the communication channel model. The problem consisted in determining the necessary probabilistic characteristics of the output process by using the system parameters and probabilistic characteristics of the input random process. For this purpose the cumulants of the input random process and the random process at the output of the linear inertial system are determined. An expression for the probability density of the random process at the output of a linear inertial system is obtained. The graphics of the error probability on the energy parameter at 16-QAM and 64-QAM type of modulation are constructed. The influence of the measurement error on the accuracy of the choice of the modulation type in the transmitter of the BS is studied. The limits of the change in the energy parameter are defined graphically, under which the modulation type changes to ensure a given error probability. It is determined, that the system is more critical to the measurement error at high admissible error probability, i.e. at high error probabilities, small errors in the measurement of the signal-to-noise ratio make it necessary to transition to a more noise-immune modulation mode.

The secured comes about unambiguously showed the capacity of simple data cesium to transmit the signs while not committal to composing with to a little degree rate up to the uttermost ranges of the forward control.</span>

An enhanced anti-disturbance guidance scheme for powered descent phase of Mars landing under actuator fault

As a class of autonomous deep-space exploration robots, Mars lander is simultaneously affected by wind disturbance and actuator fault, which hinders precise landing on Mars. In this article, we propose a composite guidance approach by combining disturbance observer and iterative learning observer together. The Mars wind disturbance is dealt by the disturbance observer providing wind estimation which is rejected through feed-forward channel. Meanwhile, the iterative learning observer is used to estimate the deficiency of actuators. The proposed guidance scheme ensures not only the precision but also the reliability of the Mars guidance system. The stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed. Simulations made in different situations demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.
