Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive guide to molecular simulations, focusing on their theoretical foundations and practical applications. Covering topics such as classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, probability theory, and computational techniques, it delves into the methodologies used for simulating molecular and atomic interactions. The text discusses numerical algorithms, force fields, simulation dynamics, and applications in areas like thermodynamics, structural properties, and transport coefficients. Intended for researchers, students, and professionals in chemistry, physics, and materials science, the book aims to bridge the gap between fundamental principles and advanced simulation practices through detailed explanations and practical examples.

Nota di contenuto

Why is the transport and logistics sector lacking environmental performance? Lessons from the sectors of production of building materials and wholesaling -- Internal enablers for the implementation of sustainable supply chain risk management systems -- Evaluation of green transport modes for containerized cargo -- Evaluation of CO2 abatement measures for (bio-) fuel production -- Carbon Efficiency of Humanitarian Supply Chains: Evidence from French Red Cross operations -- Return management for remanufacturing A review of quantitative models in Reverse Logistics and their assumptions regarding product returns -- A manufacturer-retailer supply chain with fuzzy consumer demand -- Future transport volume and demographic change – An intermodal GAMS approach.

Sommario/riassunto

This contributed volume contains the collected research papers presented at the Logistik-Management-Konferenz 2013 organized by the VHB Wissenschaftliche Kommission Logistik, held in Bremen 2013. The papers reflect the current state-of-the-art in logistics and supply chain management, focusing on environmental sustainability in logistics and supply chain network dynamics and control. The target audience primarily comprises research experts in the field as well as practitioners but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.
