Global challenges of food safety for China

Joseph J. JEN

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2018, Volume 5, Issue 3,   Pages 291-293 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2017167

Abstract:

Ever since the Melamine event, China has faced challenges of food safety both domestically and globally. With the economic development, the Chinese consumers are demanding high quality, nutritious, and safe foods from the food industry but are not willing to pay higher prices. The Chinese food chain system of mostly small and medium enterprises presents challenges to the government to monitor and implement food safety laws and regulations. The academia and media are learning to take on their responsibilities with some success. Discussions and potential solutions of the global challenges of the five pillars for the food safety in China are presented here.

Techno-economic analysis of the adoption of electric vehicles

Donald KENNEDY, Simon P. PHILBIN

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2019, Volume 6, Issue 4,   Pages 538-550 doi: 10.1007/s42524-019-0048-x

Abstract: Significant advances in battery technology are creating a viable marketspace for battery powered passenger vehicles. Climate change and concerns over reliable supplies of hydrocarbons are aiding in the focus on electric vehicles. Consumers can be influenced by marketing and emotion resulting in behaviors that may not be in line with their stated objectives. Although sales of electric vehicles are accelerating, it may not be clear that purchasing an electric vehicle is advantageous from an economic or environmental perspective. A techno- economic analysis of electric vehicles comparing them against hybrids, gasoline and diesel vehicles is presented. The results show that the complexity of electrical power supply, infrastructure requirements and full life cycle concerns show that electric vehicles have a place in the future but that ongoing improvements will be required for them to be clearly the best choice for a given situation.

Exploring price effects on the residential water conservation technology diffusion process: a case study of Tianjin city

Junying CHU, Hao WANG, Can WANG

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2013, Volume 7, Issue 5,   Pages 688-698 doi: 10.1007/s11783-013-0559-3

Abstract: Reforms of the water pricing management system and the establishment of a flexible water pricing system are significant for cities in northern China to tackle their critical water issues. The WATAP (Water conservation Technology Adoption Processes) model is developed in order to capture the water conservation technology adoption process under different price scenarios with disaggregate water demands down to the end use level. This model is explicitly characterized by the technological selection process under maximum marginal benefit assumption by different categories of households. In particular, when households need to purchase water devices in the provision market with the consideration of complex factors such as the life span, investment and operating costs of the device, as well as the regulated water price by the government. Applied to Tianjin city, four scenarios of water price evolutions for a long-term perspective (from year 2011 to 2030) are considered, including BAU (Business As Usual), SP1 (Scenario of Price increase with constant annual rate), SP2 (Scenario of Price increase every four years) and SP3 (Scenario of Price increase with affordable constraint), considering many factors such as historic trends, affordability and incentives for conservation. Results show that on aggregate 2.3%, 11.0% and 18.2% of fresh water can be saved in the residential sector in scenario SP1, SP2 and SP3, respectively, compared with the BAU scenario in the year 2030. The water price signals can change the market shares of different water appliances, as well as the water end use structure of households, and ultimately improve water use efficiency. The WATAP model may potentially be a helpful tool to provide insights for policy makers on water conservation technology policy analysis and assessment.

An overview on the applications of the hesitant fuzzy sets in group decision-making: Theory, support and methods

Zeshui XU, Shen ZHANG

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2019, Volume 6, Issue 2,   Pages 163-182 doi: 10.1007/s42524-019-0017-4

Abstract: Due to the characteristics of hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs), one hesitant fuzzy element (HFE), which is the basic component of HFSs, can express the evaluation values of multiple decision makers (DMs) on the same alternative under a certain attribute. Thus, the HFS has its unique advantages in group decision making (GDM). Based on which, many scholars have conducted in-depth research on the applications of HFSs in GDM. We have viewed lots of relevant literature and divided the existing studies into three categories: theory, support and methods. In this paper, we elaborate on hesitant fuzzy GDM from these three aspects. The first aspect is mainly about the introduction of HFSs, HFPRs and some hesitant fuzzy aggregation operators. The second aspect describes the consensus process under hesitant fuzzy environment, which is an important support for a complete decision-making process. In the third aspect, we introduce seven hesitant fuzzy GDM approaches, which can be applied in GDM under different decision-making conditions. Finally, we summarize the research status of hesitant fuzzy GDM and put forward some directions of future research.

Functional characterization of a thermostable methionine adenosyltransferase from

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2016, Volume 10, Issue 2,   Pages 238-244 doi: 10.1007/s11705-016-1566-2

Abstract: MATTt (a thermostable methionine adenosyltransferase from HB27) was overexpressed in and purified using Ni-NTA affinity column. The enzymatic activity of MATTt was investigated in a temperature range from 30 °C to 90 °C, showing that MATTt exhibited a high enzymatic activity and good thermostability at 80 °C. Circular dichroism spectra reveals that MATTt contains high portion of -sheet structures contributing to the thermostability of MATTt. The kinetic parameter, is 4.19 mmol/L and 1.2 mmol/L for ATP and methionine, respectively. MATTt exhibits the highest enzymatic activity at pH 8. Cobalt (Co ) and zinc ion (Zn ) enhances remarkably the activity of MATTt compared to the magnesium ion (Mg ). All these results indicated that the thermostable MATTt has great potential for industry applications.

Literature review on renewable energy development and China’s roadmap

Dequn ZHOU, Hao DING, Qunwei WANG, Bin SU

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2021, Volume 8, Issue 2,   Pages 212-222 doi: 10.1007/s42524-020-0146-9

Abstract: The low carbon energy transition has attracted worldwide attention to mitigate climate change. Renewable energy (RE) is the key to this transition, with significant developments to date, especially in China. This study systematically reviews the literature on RE development to identify a general context from many studies. The goal is to clarify key questions related to RE development from the current academic community. We first identify the forces driving RE development. Thereafter, we analyze methods for modeling RE developments considering the systematic and multiple complexity characteristics of RE. The study concludes with insights into the target selection and RE development roadmap in China.

A strategy-proof auction mechanism for service composition based on user preferences

Yao Xia, Zhiqiu Huang,xiayao@nuaa.edu.cn,zqhuang@nuaa.edu.cn

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2021, Volume 22, Issue 2,   Pages 141-286 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1900726

Abstract: is an effective method of combining existing atomic services into a value-added service based on cost and quality of service (QoS). To meet the diverse needs of users and to offer pricing services based on QoS, we propose a auction mechanism based on s, which is and can be beneficial in selecting services based on s and dynamically determining the price of services. We have proven that the proposed auction mechanism achieves desirable properties including truthfulness and individual rationality. Furthermore, we propose an auction algorithm to implement the auction mechanism, and carry out extensive experiments based on real data. The results verify that the proposed auction mechanism not only achieves desirable properties, but also helps users find a satisfactory scheme.
