Alleviating time inconsistent behaviors via a competition scheme

Under quasi‐hyperbolic discounting, the valuation of a payoff falls relatively rapidly for earlier delay periods, but then falls more slowly for longer delay periods. When the salespersons with quasi‐hyperbolic discounting consider the product sale problem, they would exert less effort than their early plan, thus resulting in losses of future profit. We propose a winner‐takes‐all competition to alleviate the above time inconsistent behaviors of the salespersons, and allow the company to maximize its revenue by choosing an optimal bonus. To evaluate the effects of the competition scheme, we define the group time inconsistency degree of the salespersons, which measures the consequence of time inconsistent behaviors, and two welfare measures, the group welfare of the salespersons and the company revenue. We show that the competition always improves the group welfare and the company revenue as long as the company chooses to run the competition in the first place. However, the effect on group time inconsistency degree is mixed. When the optimal bonus is moderate (extreme high), the competition motivates (over‐motivates) the salesperson to work hard, thus alleviates (worsens) the time inconsistent behaviors. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Strategy,theory, and history: Operation Husky 1943

In his 1987 work Strategy: The Logic of War and Peace (Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 1987), Edward Luttwak described strategy as a field of activity characterised not only by an innately complex relationship between designs, actions and outcomes, but so too by the frequent disparity between its theory and praxis. Similar observations on this subject have since been made by Richard K. Betts, Lawrence Freedman and Antulio Echevarria II. This article will use the Allied invasion of Sicily in July–August 1943 as a vehicle through which to test these theories against a signal event in the European theatre of the Second World War. It will illustrate how Operation Husky and its aftermath are a paradigm of the confusing and often illogical course of events associated with the process of formulating strategy and waging war. In so doing it demonstrates the benefits of using strategic theory to illuminate events and so move beyond the often insular focus of campaign histories, and simultaneously reinforces the importance of military history in informing a theoretical understanding of strategy.     

Terrorist choice: a stochastic dominance and prospect theory analysis

The paper explores terrorist choice by applying two well-known theoretical frameworks: stochastic dominance and prospect theory (PT). We analyse each pair of attack methods that can be formed from the RAND-MIPT database and the Global Terrorism Database. Instances of stochastic dominance are identified. PT orderings are computed. Attention is accorded to the identification of ‘trigger points’ and the circumstances that may lead to an increased likelihood that a terrorist will select an attack method associated with a higher expected number of fatalities, i.e. a potentially more damaging attack method.     

基于ANSYS的油罐拱顶与罐壁关联性分析

针对油罐拱顶与罐壁上部容易出现失稳变形的实际问题,基于ANSYS建立了油罐有限元模型,对油罐结构稳定性进行数值模拟,探讨加载关联性和结构关联性对均匀外压作用下油罐稳定性的影响。结果表明:分析油罐结构稳定性时,对于给定尺寸的油罐,失稳发生在结构较薄弱部位;拱顶和罐壁可独立加载求解临界载荷,取较小值作为油罐的临界载荷;油罐的失稳分析要考虑拱顶与罐壁间相互作用对总体临界载荷的影响。研究结果可为基于有限元法的油罐稳定性设计和分析提供一定参考。     

基于应变路径法的压入管桩单桩挤土位移

基于应变路径法和球孔扩张理论,结合真实源与虚拟源、真实源与虚拟汇的相互作用,在假定土体变形为小应变的前提下,将压入实心桩单桩挤土位移的求解方法应用于压入管桩,通过求解真实源与虚拟汇共同作用下产生的竖向挤土位移,并修正地表面处的附加剪应力,得到压入管桩单桩竖向挤土位移的解析解;通过求解真实源与虚拟源共同作用下产生的水平挤土位移,并修正地表面处的附加正应力,得到压入管桩单桩水平挤土位移的解析解。由挤土位移的解析解可知,桩长、管桩内外径和土塞高度最大值的变化都会对压入管桩挤土位移产生影响。     

PDSC评定柴油氧化安定性

为研究一种操作简便、检测快速的柴油氧化安定性评定方法,采用高压差示扫描量热法(PDSC)对柴油氧化安定性进行评定,通过单因素变量法分析了升温速率、恒容氧压、试样量对柴油氧化安定性的影响,确定了3种因素水平分别为8~12℃/min,2.5~4.5 MPa,2.5~3.5 mg。通过正交试验法得出升温速率对柴油氧化安定性的影响最大,恒容氧压的影响最小。方差分析表明在升温速率为8℃/min,恒容氧压为3.5 MPa,试样量为3.0 mg时,试验方法的区分性最佳。在该试验条件下,考察了5种油样的重复性,结果表明PDSC法的重复性满足标准要求。
