In this paper, a class of chance constrained multiobjective linear programming model with birandom coefficients is considered for vendor selection problem. Firstly we present a crisp equivalent model for a special case and give a traditional method for crisp model. Then, the technique of...

The national goal of 40-45% mitigation of the 2005 level intensity of carbon by 2020 was announced by the Chinese government at the Copenhagen Conference. Every industry in China is preparing to realize this national reduction target. Some attempts have been made to achieve low-carbon...

Urbanization has become a key part of social and economic progress in the 21st Century, but achieving healthy and safe urban development has a long way to go for many developed and developing countries. Urbanization has been recognized as a complex ecosystem which is affected by economic,...

In this paper, a multi-objective decision-making model with birandom parameters is proposed. A birandom simulation technique is developed to tackle general birandom objective functions and birandom constraints. Combined with a birandom simulation technique, a genetic algorithm is designed for...

Based on both the theories of cellar biology and the results of experimental observations a dynamical model of birth and death-diffusion type has been suggested for popular growth of bacillus and evolution of nutrition in the single-species bacillus system with a growth–propagation source. It...

A devastating Ms8.0 earthquake struck Wenchuan on May 12, 2008, a historical county in Sichuan Province, southwest China, which affected more than half of China. This article makes a comparative study on the pre-earthquake prevention and post-earthquake reconstruction of 14 world-famous...
