Why they fight? Reconsidering the role of motivation in combat environments

The current combat motivation model based on primary group thesis assumes that the main force behind motivation is peer-bonding or otherwise known as unit cohesion. Cohesion is perceived as an all-encompassing factor that leads to satisfactory (or unsatisfactory in lack thereof) military effectiveness and performance in conflict environments. However, the article identifies three main problems with this perspective: 1. mono-dimensional view of motivation; 2. motivation based on heteronomy, and 3. self-reporting bias. The current model does not consider motivation as a separate entity from cohesion; it does not place motivation as fundamental human value; lastly, it takes motivation as granted by-product of socialization. The article proposes a new combat motivation model based on The Self-Determination Theory. The theory maintains that human motivation requires satisfaction of three psychological needs of competence, relatedness, and autonomy. The degree of satisfaction of those three needs leads to different types of regulated motivations – a continuum from intrinsic to extrinsic – each of which has specifiable consequences for learning, performance, and well-being of an individual.     

X射线脉冲星的波形及其对光子接收的影响

建立了X射线脉冲星的X射线传播模型,在狭义相对论框架下研究了X射线脉冲星的波形及其对光子接收的影响。计算表明:脉冲星发出的X射线位于螺旋形的波带内,波带各处的厚度不同;波带上各同相点与脉冲星的距离不相等,不同倾角处的探测器接收到的脉冲的时长不相同。     

Information security: Designing a stochastic‐network for throughput and reliability

Todas information and communication network requires a design that is secure to tampering. Traditional performance measures of reliability and throughput must be supplemented with measures of security. Recognition of an adversary who can inflict damage leads toward a game‐theoretic model. Through such a formulation, guidelines for network designs and improvements are derived. We opt for a design that is most robust to withstand both natural degradation and adversarial attacks. Extensive computational experience with such a model suggests that a Nash‐equilibrium design exists that can withstand the worst possible damage. Most important, the equilibrium is value‐free in that it is stable irrespective of the unit costs associated with reliability vs. capacity improvement and how one wishes to trade between throughput and reliability. This finding helps to pinpoint the most critical components in network design. From a policy standpoint, the model also allows the monetary value of information‐security to be imputed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2009     

在任职教育中开发学员任职经验的探讨

任职教育是在受训学员有着一定的任职经验基础上，提高岗位任职能力的一种短期培训。在教学实施过程中，必须注重挖掘任职经验，交流任职经验，再把经验上升为理论从而去指导部队实践。这种任职经验的开发，有利于在教学过程中按需施教，扩大师生的视野，丰富教学资源，实现理论与实践的统一，有效达成任职教育的目标。     

释放点排布方式对水雾红外遮蔽性能的影响

水雾作为一种优良的红外伪装措施，受到了越来越多的关注。水雾遮蔽性能的仿真研究也成为了关注的焦点，但是始终没有一种有效的仿真途径来探讨水雾释放点排布产生的影响。针对这一问题，基于高斯扩散理论与Mie散射理论，提出了一种空间划分的建模方案，解决了这一问题，并根据仿真结果，简单分析了相同条件下不同释放点排布方式对其红外辐射遮蔽性能的影响。所得结论对制定有效的红外对抗策略有一定的参考价值。

基于灰熵方法的综合评估

以灰色系统理论中的灰靶技术为基础,在对原靶心度求解公式加以改进,给出了了一种系统效能的评定方法。首先用灰靶理论建立评定方法的数学模型,以能反映武器系统效能的战技性能指标构造各比较方案或模式的指标序列,进而求得各指标序列的标准模式。通过求各比较模式对标准模式的靶心度,并按大小排序,最终确定各比较方案效能的优劣。方法的计算过程为简单的代数运算,且不涉及传统方法中类似人工打分等带有一定主观性因素,所以,就同时满足可操作性和客观性而言,本方法较传统方法为优。     

基于Epsilon-Nash策略的动态武器-目标分配方法

在大型任务规划软件的作战单元任务分配中,搜索零和博弈问题的纳什均衡点是求解任务分配的一种有效的方法。然而,纳什均衡点在决策中并不一定总是存在且唯一,这造成了纳什均衡策略在实际使用时具有较大的局限。通过采用Epsilon-Nash策略克服这种局限,并将其应用于自主空战任务规划系统中,通过仿真实验,证实Epsilon-Nash策略具有近似于纳什策略的效果。
