An application of yield management for Internet Service Providers

In this paper we study strategies for better utilizing the network capacity of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) when they are faced with stochastic and dynamic arrivals and departures of customers attempting to log‐on or log‐off, respectively. We propose a method in which, depending on the number of modems available, and the arrival and departure rates of different classes of customers, a decision is made whether to accept or reject a log‐on request. The problem is formulated as a continuous time Markov Decision Process for which optimal policies can be readily derived using techniques such as value iteration. This decision maximizes the discounted value to ISPs while improving service levels for higher class customers. The methodology is similar to yield management techniques successfully used in airlines, hotels, etc. However, there are sufficient differences, such as no predefined time horizon or reservations, that make this model interesting to pursue and challenging. This work was completed in collaboration with one of the largest ISPs in Connecticut. The problem is topical, and approaches such as those proposed here are sought by users. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Naval Research Logistics 48:348–362, 2001

铝导线短路熔珠对固体可燃物引燃能力实验研究

在模拟试验平台上进行了铝导线短路熔珠引燃棉布、聚氨酯泡沫塑料和纸张的试验，得到了不同材料的临界加栽电压值和引燃规律。初步分析了加栽电压与短路熔珠粒径及引燃能力的关系。结果表明，随着短路电压增大，导线熔珠的粒径逐渐增大，熔珠对固体材料的引燃能力逐渐增强，氧指数越低、表面粗糙、易蓄热的材料越容易被点燃。棉布、聚氨酯泡沫塑料和纸屑被引燃的短路临界电压分别为50V、35V和45V。

高铁大风预警模式挖掘

高铁大风预警的传统方法基于风速预测,当瞬时值高于限速阈值时触发报警,存在大量的误报警,不必要的限速控制影响了高铁行车效率。创新地提出了基于序列模式的预警方法,旨在挖掘报警事件前序数据中的频繁模式,找出报警事件的变化规律,通过滤除与非预警序列共有的频繁模式,得到预警序列独有的序列特征,构建了预警模式库。经兰新高铁沿线的监测数据验证,该方法在提高预测准确率的基础上降低了漏报率,同时有效地减少了模式匹配所需的时间,为提前预警预留充分的时间窗口,更加符合实际应用的需求。

利用金属膜电阻设计并制作了用于陡化前沿Marx发生器调试的大功率低电感负载.其阻值约为90Ω,电感约为55nH,基本不具备分散电容.该负载采用线性渐变的圆锥外型结构,有利于减小信号在负载上的反射,配合电容分压器使用能够很好地完成对前沿约为几ns的快前沿高压脉冲的测量.理论估算了该负载的功率容量,并利用PSpice软件模拟了对其进行脉冲方波加载的情况.该负载用于调试陡化前沿的Marx发生器的实验中,获得了幅值约210kV,脉宽近40ns,前沿为5ns的快前沿高压脉冲.多次实验结果表明该负载性能稳定,适用于陡化前沿Marx发生器的调试工作.     

从《中导条约》的失效看未来国际军控走向

《美苏消除两国中程导弹和中短程导弹条约》的失效重创了本就脆弱的国际军控体系，对美俄战略稳定和全球军事安全带来消极影响，国际军控合作和全球军事安全迫切需要重构新的军控体系。本文立足当前国际军控现状，在分析美俄“退约”背后各方战略考量及国际军控面临的挑战，如“美国优先”理念下的霸权主义和单边主义、国际军控体系自身的脆弱性和局限性和新军事革命给全球安全增添新的变量的基础上，提出了“构建人类命运共同体”理念凝聚全球安全共识、以大国责任和义务为基础构建多层次军控体系和以多边军控体系循序推进国际军控进程等措施和建议，以期为推动国际军控合作，建立更为公平、合理、有效的国际军控体系做出贡献。     

The politics of international chemical weapon justice: The case of Syria, 2011–2017

There has been near-universal condemnation of the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict. The international community has nevertheless struggled to make progress on holding the perpetrators to account. This article reviews developments at the international level in terms of Syrian chemical weapon justice between 2011 and 2017. It argues that there have been substantive disagreements between states on the rationale and means of justice in the Syrian case. It also argues that international initiatives have been tightly intertwined with developments in chemical disarmament and conflict resolution processes as well as the broader war. The article describes progress and challenges to chemical weapon justice in a number of distinct formal international mechanisms during the period studied. The analysis concludes by contextualizing international responses—including the U.S. tomahawk strikes against a Syrian airbase—to the Khan Shaykhun chemical attacks of April 2017.
