Transnational terrorism as a spillover of domestic disputes in other countries

This paper models transnational terrorism as a three‐way strategic interaction involving a government that faces armed opposition at home, which may spill over in the form of acts of terrorism by the state's opponents against the government's external sponsor. The external sponsor also utilises deterrence against potential terrorists, which only lowers terrorism if terrorists are not intrinsically motivated by a deep‐seated sense of humiliation. The model highlights the importance of intrinsic motivation. A rise in the external power's preference for deterrence against terrorism may backfire in these circumstances. Increases in the government's military efficiency against the rebels, who are also terrorists against the government's sponsor, raises overall levels of violence.     

Saudi Arabia's defence offset programmes: Progress,policy and performance

This paper discusses the performance of Saudi Arabia's defence offset programmes. The Kingdom is involved in some of the World's biggest defence offset agreements and a review of the problems it has faced and the policies it has introduced provides a useful insight into that part of the international defence market where trade and development meet.

The paper reviews the origins and development of Saudi Arabia's major defence offset programmes. Saudi policies towards defence offsets are outlined before assessing the practical impact of the programmes themselves. The author concludes that Saudi Arabia's offset projects have had only a minor impact on the Kingdom's economy to date and makes a number of policy recommendations which are designed to enhance the utility of the programmes in the Kingdom's drive to enhance and diversify the technological base of its economy.     

BUTTER,GUNS AND ICE‐CREAM THEORY AND EVIDENCE FROM SUB‐SAHARAN AFRICA

This paper is intended to complement the existing literature on civil wars. First, it presents a simple theoretical model of conflict that defines a two‐sector economy. In a contested sector, two agents struggle to appropriate the maximum possible fraction of a contestable output. In an uncontested sector, they hold secure property rights over the production of some goods. Agents split their resource endowment between ‘butter’, ‘guns’ and ‘ice‐cream’. Following the theoretical insights the empirical analysis focuses on the relationship between civil wars and different sectors of the economy. In particular, a panel probit specification shows that the incidence of a civil war decreases in the size of manufacturing sector.     

新疆石河子内初班学生的学习适应性研究

为深入了解内初班学生的学习适应性状况,本研究分别在石河子市四所内初班承办学校中,严格按照分层抽样的方法选取了294名学生作为被试,采用《学习适应性测验》量表探求内初班学生的学习适应性特征。结果显示:石河子内初班学生的学习适应性与全国常模基本一致,学习适应不良主要集中在学习技术和学习态度上。在性别上、年级上差异不显著,民考民和民考汉学生的学习适应性在全量表上差异显著,总体上民考民学生的学习适应性优于民考汉学生。     

多捐赠者肾脏调换问题

用于器官移植的肾脏处于严重的短缺状态。为缓解这一问题,越来越多的国家开始实施各种形式的肾脏调换计划。肾脏调换问题一般被建模为一个合作博弈(KE)。其中的局中人为病人及与其配型失败的捐赠者所构成的二元组。现实中不乏拥有多个配型失败捐赠者的病人。定义了多捐赠者肾脏调换博弈(MDKE),分析了其可行解及稳定解的结构,证明了捐赠多颗肾脏无益于参与稳定调换,将TTC算法、KE稳定解的NP难解性以及最大覆盖稳定解的不可近似性拓展到MDKE。实验表明引入MDKE效果显著。     

零控脱靶量有限时间收敛制导律

针对高速机动目标的拦截问题,研究了一种考虑导弹自动驾驶仪动态特性的零控脱靶量有限时间收敛制导律。对导弹-目标三维相对运动几何关系进行解耦,并考虑导弹的自动驾驶仪动态特性,推导了一种新型三维零控脱靶量模型;在此基础上,基于自适应滑模控制理论和有限时间稳定性理论,选取俯仰平面和偏航平面的零控脱靶量为滑模面,设计了零控脱靶量有限时间收敛三维自适应滑模制导律;对该制导律的稳定性和有限时间收敛特性进行了分析和证明。仿真结果表明,与比例制导律相比,所设计的制导律可使导弹的零控脱靶量在有限时间内收敛到零,且具有更高的制导精度。     

One-bit splitting deceptive jamming against SAR

One-bit quantization is a promising technique due to its performance retention and complexity reduction in a deceptive jammer against synthetic aperture radar (SAR). In this paper, the 1-bit quantization technology is utilized to agilely generate split false targets in the SAR imagery once the radar signal is intercepted, which reduces the complexity of the jammer significantly with guaranteed focusing quality. A single-frequency threshold is used to decompose harmonics incurred by the 1-bit quantization, and its parameters are adjusted through different pulse repetition intervals to provide steerable modulations. In this way, the SAR signal is split into coupled false scatterers during the 1-bit interception. By further deploying amplitude, time-delay, and Doppler frequency modulations on the 1-bit intercepted signal, the split false targets are created. The proposed approach is compared with different deceptive jamming methods to show its validity in effectiveness and cost, and numerical experiments are also presented for verification.     

FBN和JF402在泡沫洗消剂中的展开作用及其对泡沫性能的影响
