Environmental regulation in project‐based industries

We study the environmental regulation of industrial activities that are organized as projects. Applications arise in construction, ship and aircraft building, and film making, among other industries. Relative to manufacturing, environmental regulation is different in project‐based industries, due to the uniqueness and geographical diversity of projects, and a lack of product takeback programs. Because the amount of waste and pollution generated by project companies can be large, regulators need environmental policies to ensure reduction of waste and pollution. We consider a regulator who attempts to maximize social welfare. We model this problem as a bilevel nonlinear program. The upper level regulator specifies waste reduction targets, which the lower level project companies meet using waste stream reduction and remediation of pollution, while attempting to control their project costs. We find that high waste diversion targets lead to outcomes with little pollution, but excessive project costs and only modest waste stream reduction. Projects that have lower task precedence density, or that have pollutants with different environmental impacts, show larger increases in project cost and time resulting from regulation. We describe a subsidy for waste stream reduction that coordinates the system, and we estimate the value of coordination. We also describe a bonus that encourages truthful reporting by project companies, and evaluate the relative cost and effectiveness of the subsidy and the bonus. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Police Corruption: Towards a Working Definition

According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) publication Interpretive Guidance on the Notion of Direct Participation in Hostilities under International Humanitarian Law, all civilians (including child soldiers) lose their immunity from direct targeting ‘for so long as’ their actions amount to direct participation in hostilities. All civilians can, however, access the revolving door of protection and return to their civilian activities – complete with full immunity from direct targeting – provided the nature of their direct participation was spontaneous and disorganised. Once it can be ascertained that their participation in hostilities amounts to continuous combative functions, they relinquish their access to the revolving door of protection, and can be targeted at all times until they abandon their formal or functional membership of the belligerent group. This piece analyses how the revolving door phenomenon and the notion of continuous combative functions apply in instances where civilian child soldiers are directly participating in hostilities.

高速飞行器间隙非线性机翼颤振的非线性能量阱抑制

针对间隙非线性机翼颤振系统的亚临界问题,引入了非线性能量阱(nonlinear energy sink,NES)技术来提高系统发生极限环振荡的临界速度。建立了具有NES控制的间隙非线性机翼颤振系统动力学模型,并分析了质量比、频率比、阻尼比、相对位置等NES参数对颤振系统极限环振荡的抑制效果,以及NES参数对颤振系统极限环振荡临界速度的影响规律。结果表明,阻尼比越大,可以在越小的自振频率比情况下使系统进入稳定区,但需要更苛刻的NES位置要求,即越靠近机翼前缘;而阻尼比越小,则使颤振系统极限环振荡响应进入稳定区所需的NES质量越小。在NES位置靠近机翼前缘时,增大自振频率比会使极限环振荡抑制效果有明显的提升,而增大质量比可以显著提高极限环振荡的抑制效果和临界速度。此外,NES的阻尼比越小,其颤振系统的极限环振荡抑制效果越好。
