BEYOND DECLARATIONS OF INTENT

This essay explores the obligations arising from the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime, signed in Palermo, Italy at the end of 2000. It also discusses the initiatives required to prepare the legal system and related infrastructure of Zimbabwe for its implementation. Zimbabwe joined more than 120 other countries in signing the Palermo convention, but has not yet ratified it. The ratification would enshrine the latest initiatives to develop effective strategies against transnational organised crime. The Palermo convention makes demands on the laws and institutions of states parties which could enhance their capacity to confront organised crime. Ratification signifies competence to implement the prescribed obligations, which can only occur after introducing suitable domestic laws, and adopting the necessary administrative mechanisms. The required reforms are bound to have certain policy and legislative implications for Zimbabwe. Regional initiatives complementary to the Palermo convention are expected to catalyse positive changes in Zimbabwe's response mechanisms.     

CORRUPTION,PERCEPTION AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT

Bribery undermines human development and a transition to stable democratic rule. It props up illegitimate regimes as corporations bid for contracts by bribing, in a seeming race to the bottom. The world's wealthy are slowly waking up to this and criminalising this scandalous practice of bribing foreign public officials. However, such measures, if enforced, need to be combined with domestic anti-corruption strategies in the South. If this opportunity is missed, the risk of investing private capital in marginalised economies perceived to be highly corrupt is further upped, making investment-driven economic growth possibly even less unattainable.     

不同导引模式下的末修弹脉冲参数优化研究

无人作战飞机近距对抗占位策略与方法

针对无人机作战中前置追踪占位法存在导弹发射条件苛刻且目标机动时成功率锐减和离散对策占位法应用局限性较大等问题,提出一种无人作战飞机近距对抗占位策略与导引方法。该占位策略为解算无人机近距对抗占位的伪跟踪点,并设计一种三维变结构导引律,引导无人机完成近距作战占位机动。仿真结果表明,该占位策略与导引方法快速有效,满足无人机近距对抗时的战术指标要求。     

消防行政诉讼若干问题探析

消防诉讼是消防生态的有机构成部分.消防事业社会化进程的加快,势必引发更多的涉消防诉讼案件.这些案件中既有因消防执法引起的消防行政诉讼,也有因灭火救援等引起的消防民事诉讼.对消防行政诉讼的类型、消防行政执法中易引发行政诉讼的问题、做好消防行政执法工作的措施等问题进行了探析.     

基于凸优化理论的三维微分对策制导规律求解

针对三维微分对策制导律(DGL)求解问题,引入凸优化理论,将DGL求解归结到Hamilton系统的求解,设计了DGL求解算法,通过对代价函数梯度特征的凸分析,推导出对策系统鞍点存在的充要条件和求解方法,解决了以往通过对微分对策模型简化求解导致的模型不能客观反映作战过程的问题.     

流动相似律研究

有别于经典的量纲分析方法和对流动控制方程及其定解条件的无量纲化分析方法, 论文给出了一种分析流动相似律的新思路, 亦即将复杂的流动过程分解为若干个子过程, 然后分析每一个子过程中反映其本质性态的特征量。依据这一思路导出的高超声速热化学非平衡流动相似律与文献采用经典分析方法得到的流动相似律一致。     

Switching costs,dynamic uncertainty,and buyer–seller relationships

We analyze strategic relationships between buyers and sellers in markets with switching costs and dynamic uncertainty by investigating the scenario wherein a representative buyer trades with two foreign sellers located in the same foreign country. We show that, under exchange rate uncertainty, switching costs may lead to switching equilibria where both sellers co‐exist in the market with the buyer, or no‐switching equilibria where either seller captures the market. The presence of exchange rate uncertainty facilitates competition by allowing the sellers to co‐exist in the market with the buyer. However, if the level of uncertainty is beyond a threshold, the only viable equilibria are those where one of the sellers captures the market. Further, depending on the level of exchange rate uncertainty and the sellers' variable costs, switching costs may either raise or lower the level of prices in long‐term contracts between the buyer and the sellers. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
