Supply chain coordination with product line design and a revenue sharing scheme

Many manufacturers sell their products through retailers and share the revenue with those retailers. Given this phenomenon, we build a stylized model to investigate the role of revenue sharing schemes in supply chain coordination and product variety decisions. In our model, a monopolistic manufacturer serves two segments of consumers, which are distinguished by their willingness to pay for quality. In the scenario with exogenous revenue sharing ratios, when the potential gain from serving the low segment is substantial (e.g., the low‐segment consumers' willingness to pay is high enough or the low segment takes a large enough proportion of the market), the retailer is better off abandoning the revenue sharing scheme. Moreover, when the potential gain from serving the low (high) segment is substantial enough, the manufacturer finds it profitable to offer a single product. Furthermore, when revenue sharing ratios are endogenous, we divide our analysis into two cases, depending on the methods of cooperation. When revenue sharing ratios are negotiated at the very beginning, the decentralized supply chain causes further distortion. This suggests that the central premise of revenue sharing—the coordination of supply chains—may be undermined if supply chain parties meticulously bargain over it.     

Single‐machine scheduling with deadlines to minimize the total weighted late work

We consider scheduling a set of jobs with deadlines to minimize the total weighted late work on a single machine, where the late work of a job is the amount of processing of the job that is scheduled after its due date and before its deadline. This is the first study on scheduling with the late work criterion under the deadline restriction. In this paper, we show that (i) the problem is unary NP‐hard even if all the jobs have a unit weight, (ii) the problem is binary NP‐hard and admits a pseudo‐polynomial‐time algorithm and a fully polynomial‐time approximation scheme if all the jobs have a common due date, and (iii) some special cases of the problem are polynomially solvable.

生命哲学视角下西部高校教师职业幸福感研究

幸福是人生追求的永恒主题,在以人为本的理念下,高等教育更为关注人的生命,人的生命存在方式。面对信息相对闭塞、生活环境相对恶劣、管理体制相对落后等无奈状况,西部高校教师职业幸福感如何？对于该问题的研究有利于促进教师心理健康发展,提升教师幸福感,提高教育教学质量。研究发现西部高校教师职业感受以不幸福为主;幸福感来源单一,主要来自于学生的行为表现;导致不幸福感的因素主要以压力大、学生问题、缺乏认可等因素为主。研究从生命哲学视角出发认为高校教师存在的应然意义在于“诗意栖息”,但实然状况下高校教师的“诗意存在”被现实消解,“创造性地栖息”、“精神相遇地栖息”是冲破藩篱、回归“诗意居住”幸福生活的路径。     

面向多核网络分组处理系统的线程亲和缓冲区管理机制

基于通用多核架构的网络分组处理系统性能受到诸如分组IO开销高、多核共享内存及进程调度竞争大、页表缓冲表项失效率高等问题的困扰。为此提出一种基于通用多核网络分组处理系统、面向高速分组转发应用的线程亲和缓冲区硬件管理机制,并在网络专用协处理引擎上实现。该机制采用无中断的线程亲和调度策略,将包含控制信息与缓冲区地址信息的描述符和分组数据按照分组处理的线程号链式地对应加载在多个地址连续的共享缓冲区中。基于通用多核和现场可编程门阵列平台进行报文转发测试,实验结果表明,采用线程亲和缓冲区管理机制能使平均报文转发处理性能提升12.4%,有效地降低IO开销和TLB表项失效率。     

剪切来流条件下的涡生振荡机理

将指数极坐标系建立在运动的圆柱上,推导了运动坐标中剪切来流条件下,涡生振荡的涡量-流函数守恒方程、其初始和边界条件、圆柱表面的水动力表达式、圆柱振荡方程。对圆柱从静止开始振荡到发展为稳定振荡状态进行了计算和讨论,描述了脱体涡街的发展过程、升阻力相图的连续变形和漂移、圆柱振荡和平衡位置的变化过程。研究了涡生振荡终态随剪切度K的变化。结果表明:剪切来流给流场加入了背景涡,使圆柱的上涡增强、下涡减弱,流场的对称性被破坏。随着剪切度K的增大,涡街的倾斜程度增大,压力曲线的漂移量增大,由此导致升力的绝对值增大,圆柱的振幅增大且平衡位置向圆柱下侧的漂移也增大。

基于fMRI的静息状态脑功能复杂网络分析

分析静息状态下人脑中不同区域之间的功能连接模式对研究静息状态下人脑正常功能活动具有重要意义。基于复杂网络理论对脑功能网络进行建模,考察静息状态脑功能网络的结构和拓扑特性。结果显示,网络具有小世界性质和无标度特性。进一步引入一种概率混合模型分析网络社团结构,得到的10个子网络中包含视觉系统、听觉系统、运动系统、默认网络以及与执行和工作记忆相关的脑区。推测出静息状态脑功能网络是由这些相对独立又彼此关联的子网络组成,其中楔前叶和扣带回作为网络的关键节点,在信息调度和传递中占据重要地位。     

Optimal operating policies in a commodity trading market with the manufacturer's presence

With the help of the Internet and express delivery at relatively low costs, trading markets have become increasingly popular as a venue to sell excess inventory and a source to obtain products at lower prices. In this article, we study the operational decisions in the presence of a trading market in a periodic‐review, finite‐horizon setting. Prices in the trading market change periodically and are determined endogenously by the demand and supply in the market. We characterize the retailers'optimal ordering and trading policies when the original manufacturer and the trading market co‐exist and retailers face fees to participate in the trading market. Comparing with the case with no trading fees, we obtain insights into the impact of trading fees and the fee structure on the retailers and the manufacturer. Further, we find that by continually staying in the market, the manufacturer may use her pricing strategies to counter‐balance the negative impact of the trading market on her profit. Finally, we extend the model to the case when retailers dynamically update their demand distribution based on demand observations in previous periods. A numerical study provides additional insights into the impact of demand updating in a trading market with the manufacturer's competition. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
