On efficiency of multistage channel with bargaining over wholesale prices

This article considers a multistage channel with deterministic price‐sensitive demand. Two systems for pricing decisions, that is, the bargaining system and the leader‐follower system, are compared. We characterize the necessary and sufficient conditions on the power structure, under which the solution of the bargaining system Pareto dominates that of the leader‐follower system. Also, under such conditions, we give a tight upper bound of channel efficiency of the bargaining system, which converges to 100% channel efficiency as the number of stages increases to infinity. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

剪刀撑水泥砂浆网薄层加固砌体墙体拟静力试验

主拉应力破坏是砌体结构在地震荷载作用下最常见的一种破坏形式,剪刀撑水泥砂浆网薄层加固法就是针对砌体结构抵抗主拉应力不足的一种加固方法。为了考察该方法加固砌体墙体的受力性能及加固效果,对6片砂浆强度不同、加固方法不同的墙体试件进行了拟静力试验。试验结果表明：剪刀撑水泥砂浆网薄层加固法能够明显提高砌体墙体的抗剪承载力;该方法更适合于加固砂浆强度较低的砌体墙体;采用该方法加固后的砌体墙体破坏形式以剪切滑移破坏为主;加固面层能够与原有墙体较好地共同工作。目前剪刀撑水泥砂浆网薄层加固法是一个崭新的课题,该拟静力试验给出的试验分析结果和建议可供相关研究和加固工程设计参考。     

晋察冀边区军政民代表大会研究

基于抗战初期华北敌后晋察冀军区的成立、边区的开辟及抗战形势的需要,中共中央作出筹建晋察冀边区政府的决策,这一决策始于聂荣臻1937年11月8日的建议;筹建边区政府的组织称谓,不是称"晋察冀边区军政民代表大会筹备处",而是称"晋察冀边区临时政府筹备处";晋察冀边区军政民代表大会的召开,不是1938年1月11日至15日,而是1938年1月10日至15日;与会代表人数,不是146人,也不是148人,而是各县代表145人,筹备委员4人,共149人;边区政府成立时的辖区范围,不是军区成立时的36个县,也不可能建立晋东北、冀西、冀中3个政治主任公署,而是从平汉路西扩展到了冀中平原,达40余个县;边区军政民代表大会选举产生了边区行政委员会,并制定了正确的施政方针和政策,这"两大建树"创造了高举抗日与民主的大旗与运用合法性策略开展工作完美结合的经验。     

Priority queue with customer upgrades

This article is concerned with a general multi‐class multi‐server priority queueing system with customer priority upgrades. The queueing system has various applications in inventory control, call centers operations, and health care management. Through a novel design of Lyapunov functions, and using matrix‐analytic methods, sufficient conditions for the queueing system to be stable or instable are obtained. Bounds on the queue length process are obtained by a sample path method, with the help of an auxiliary queueing system. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2012

Research progress on advanced rail materials for electromagnetic railgun technology

Electromagnetic railgun attracts more and more attention due to its advantage in speed,cost,and obscurity.It is found that the rail should withstand huge mechanical and thermal shocks during the launching operation.The forms of rail failure are accompanied by gouge,grooving,transition,and arc ablation,etc.The service life of the rail has become a bottleneck restricting the development of elec-tromagnetic railgun technology.A series of researches are carried out to solve rail failure,including analysing the failure mechanism and using various advanced rail materials.This paper provides a comprehensive review of rail materials,including material composition,preparation,microstructure,and properties.We begin from a short background of the requirement of the rail material.Then a detailed investigation of rail materials is described,and the performances of those materials are introduced.Finally,further development prospect of rail material is discussed.     

Insensitive energetic microspheres DAAF/RDX fabricated by facile molecular self-assembly

Insensitive energetic materials are promising in the defense weapons field. However, energetic materials still suffer from great challenges and the concern about their safety limits their utilization. In this work, insensitive energetic explosive 3,3′-diamino-4,4′-azoxyfurazan/hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (DAAF/RDX) microspheres were fabricated by self-assembly method. Rod-like DAAF/RDX was prepared by mechanical ball milling for comparison. DAAF/RDX composites with different mass ratios (90:10, 80:20, and 70:30) were obtained. The morphologies and structures of as-obtained DAAF/RDX composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results showed that DAAF/RDX microspheres exhibited regular shaped microspheres with sizes from 0.5 to 1.2 μm. There was no crystal transition during the modification process. The thermal properties of as-obtained materials were then evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and materials studio software. DAAF/RDX microspheres showed an advanced decomposition peak temperature compared with rod-like DAAF/RDX. The binding energy and peak temperature values at zero β_i (T_P0) of DAAF/RDX (90:10) increased by 36.77 kJ/mol, 1.6 °C, and 58.11 kJ/mol, 12.3 °C compared to DAAF/RDX (80:20) and DAAF/RDX (70:30), indicating the better thermal stability of DAAF/RDX (90:10). The characteristic drop height (H₅₀) of DAAF/RDX (higher than 100 cm) composites was higher than that of raw RDX (25 cm), suggesting significant improvements in mechanical safety. The preparation of DAAF/RDX microspheres is promising for the desensitization of RDX and useful for the formation of other materials and future wide applications.     

Optimal joint preventive maintenance and production policies

We study joint preventive maintenance (PM) and production policies for an unreliable production‐inventory system in which maintenance/repair times are non‐negligible and stochastic. A joint policy decides (a) whether or not to perform PM and (b) if PM is not performed, then how much to produce. We consider a discrete‐time system, formulating the problem as a Markov decision process (MDP) model. The focus of the work is on the structural properties of optimal joint policies, given the system state comprised of the system's age and the inventory level. Although our analysis indicates that the structure of optimal joint policies is very complex in general, we are able to characterize several properties regarding PM and production, including optimal production/maintenance actions under backlogging and high inventory levels, and conditions under which the PM portion of the joint policy has a control‐limit structure. In further special cases, such as when PM set‐up costs are negligible compared to PM times, we are able to establish some additional structural properties. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
