A methodologically sound survey of Chinese consumers’ willingness to participate in courier, express, and parcel companies’ green logistics

Abstract: The environmental footprint of courier, express, and parcel (CEP) logistics is significant and growing, owing to increased e-commerce. Consumer willingness to participate in the green logistics of CEPs, however, has been understudied. This study addresses this knowledge gap by surveying 155 Chinese consumers about their willingness to participate in CEP green logistics. Additionally, this research identifies some technical issues with previous survey research. Three main factors were extracted after the data were tested for reliability and validity using exploratory factor analysis with principal axis factor extraction and confirmatory factor analysis with diagonally weighted least squares. Consumer willingness is positively correlated with economic (8 items), operational (3 items), and social (3 items) factors, with a statistical significance of p < 0.001. Of all the factors, the strongest correlation, 0.67 (95% CI = 0.57, 0.75; p < 0.001; N = 155), exists between economic factors and consumer willingness. The results of a multinomial logistic regression analysis suggest that all consumers are highly unlikely to participate in economic factors, while they are highly likely to positively commit to operational and social factors. Therefore, it is recommended that the government provides monetary incentives to CEP companies to adopt green logistics, such as tax reductions and subsidies, to reduce the costs of green logistics. Meanwhile, the CEP industry could provide some direct and indirect incentives to consumers to re-use, recycle, and share materials, and to spend time learning about express enterprises' green logistics, to increase consumer participation in economic factors.

Applied Study on Cellulase Production from Pretreated Wheat Straw by Trichoderma reesei

Abstract: With the aim to improve cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei while trying to reduce its costs,the orthogonal experiments including the pretreatment of wheat straw as substrate instead of microcrystalline cellulose by Phanerochaete chrysosporium and dilute acid were conducted.The result of a volumetric enzyme activity of filter paper activity(FPA,6.11IU mL-1),carboxymethyl cellulase activity(CMCase,29.11IU mL-1) and cellobiase activity(CBA,16.11 IU·mL-1)in the cellulase production under the optimum condition at initial pH 5.0 and 30 ℃ for 48 h with pretreated wheat straw: bran=3:2(w:w) by Trichoderma reesei showed a highly significant increase of FPA(30.78%),CMCase(26.82%) and CBA(37.11%) compared to previous cellulase production.

A Test System for Vehicular Voice Cloud Service

Abstract: Some test systems for voice cloud services have been developed in recent years. However, the automobile manufacturers, communications equipment merchants and network operator still lacks methods and tools to evaluate the vehicular voice cloud services from the perspective of the end user experience. Considering the user behavior and user experience, a light weight vehicular voice cloud evaluation system is designed in this paper. The system is able to send voice information to voice cloud server according to user habit, and record the user experience indicators, such as accurate, voice quality, service delay, server computation capacity, and so on. The study shows that the vehicle voice cloud evaluation system can avoid complex communication and language processing, evaluate the performance of the service from view of end user.
