利用添加剂改善高原热水采暖性能的研究

通过对高海拔、高寒地区采暖系统现状及存在问题的分析,拟利用添加剂改善常规的热媒水,增大采暖热媒平均温度,进而提高散热器的传热系数及散热量。并通过试验台分别对两种流体热媒的采暖系统表面对流换热系数及散热量进行实测研究。结果表明采用新热媒比以普通水为热媒时,散热器表面对流换热系数提高的平均值约为8．28％,单位面积散热量增加的平均值约为45．71％,取得了理想的效果。     

网络化作战C2组织结构的一种分析设计方法

网络化作战条件下,传统的层次型C2组织限制了组织成员之间的信息交互,难以适应复杂多变的作战环境,影响了系统整体作战效能的发挥。通过分解单个组织节点智能体(Agent)的行为过程,结合网络化作战的概念,在引入信息流、指控流因素情况下,研究在网络化作战中C2组织结构网络,并在分析组织网络探测信息/指控命令的传输和处理的基础上,提出了一种C2组织结构设计方法。该方法充分考虑了网络化作战探测信息共享以及指控命令协同,并将网络化作战C2组织的最优设计问题转化为C2组织网络中探测信息和指控命令的最小费用最大流问题。

Solution algorithms for the parallel replacement problem under economy of scale

We consider the parallel replacement problem in which machine investment costs exhibit economy of scale which is modeled through associating both fixed and variable costs with machine investment costs. Both finite- and infinite-horizon cases are investigated. Under the three assumptions made in the literature on the problem parameters, we show that the finite-horizon problem with time-varying parameters is equivalent to a shortest path problem and hence can be solved very efficiently, and give a very simple and fast algorithm for the infinite-horizon problem with time-invariant parameters. For the general finite-horizon problem without any assumption on the problem parameters, we formulate it as a zero-one integer program and propose an algorithm for solving it exactly based on Benders' decomposition. Computational results show that this solution algorithm is efficient, i.e., it is capable of solving large scale problems within a reasonable cpu time, and robust, i.e., the number of iterations needed to solve a problem does not increase quickly with the problem size. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Single machine sequencing with linear models of release dates

The paper deals with a problem of scheduling a set of jobs on a single machine. Before a job is released for processing, it must undergo some preprocessing treatment that consumes resources. It is assumed that the release date of a job is a linear decreasing continuous function of the amount of a locally and globally constrained, continuously divisible resource (e.g., energy, catalyzer, financial outlay, gas). The problem is to find a sequence of jobs and a resource allocation that will minimize the maximum job completion time. Such a problem appears, for example, in the ingot preheating and hot-rolling process in steel mills. It is shown that the problem is strongly NP-hard. Some polynomially solvable cases of the problem and approximate algorithms with both experimental and worst-case analysis are presented. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Attrition models of the Ardennes campaign

This paper revisits the modeling by Bracken [3] of the Ardennes campaign of World War II using the Lanchester equations. It revises and extends that analysis in a number of ways: (1) It more accurately fits the model parameters using linear regression; (2) it considers the data from the entire campaign; and (3) it adds in air sortie data. In contrast to previous results, it concludes by showing that neither the Lanchester linear or Lanchester square laws fit the data. A new form of the Lanchester equations emerges with a physical interpretation. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 45: 1–22, 1998     

Two exact algorithms for the vehicle routing problem on trees

This article describes a heuristic and two exact algorithms for several classes of vehicle routing problems defined on tree networks. These include capacitated and time‐constrained vehicle routing problems. One of the exact algorithms is based on the computation of bin packing lower bounds. The other uses column generation. The first algorithm performs better on problems containing small customer demands and in which all vehicles are identical. Otherwise, the second algorithm is more powerful and more versatile. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 46: 75–89, 1999

Killing Your Own: Confronting Desertion and Cowardice in the British Army During the Two World Wars

Military units can become to some extent self-governing in war-time battle. At times, they may take the discipline of their soldiers into their own hands and such discipline may be severe. This paper examines incidents in the British military, in both World Wars, where British soldiers were killed by their comrades because they would not fight in the heat of battle. The judicial execution by the military authorities of deserters in the First World War led to much controversy in Britain. It may be much less well-known that in both World Wars there was, on occasion, an extra-judicial practice within the British military of executing soldiers who would not fight in the heat of battle. In such situations ethical dilemmas become very difficult indeed and some of the relevant issues are examined here.
