Does military expenditure increase external debt? Evidence from Asia

This article empirically explores the effect of military spending on external debt, using a sample of ten Asian countries over the years from 1990 to 2011. The Hausman’s test suggests that the random-effects model is preferable; however, both random-effects and fixed-effects models are used in this research. The empirical results show that the effect of military spending on external debt is positive, while the effects of foreign exchange reserves and of economic growth on external debt are negative. For developing countries caught in security dilemma, military expenditure often requires an increase in external debt, which may affect economic development negatively.     

Nonparametric bayesian lifetime data analysis using dirichlet process lognormal mixture model

We propose a nonparametric Bayesian lifetime data analysis method using the Dirichlet process mixture model with a lognormal kernel. A simulation‐based algorithm that implements the Gibbs sampling is developed to fit the Dirichlet process lognormal mixture (DPLNM) model using rightly censored failure time data. Five examples are used to illustrate the proposed method, and the DPLNM model is compared to the Dirichlet process Weibull mixture (DPWM) model. Results indicate that the DPLNM model is capable of estimating different lifetime distributions. The DPLNM model outperforms the DPWM model in all the examples, and the DPLNM model shows promising potential to be applied to analyze failure time data when an appropriate parametric model for the data cannot be specified. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于WSN的目标探测与分类算法

针对WSN监测系统的目标检测与分类问题,提出一种基于直觉模糊推理(IFR)的多源数据融合方法。由模糊推理的思想,设计各状态变量的属性函数。根据目标声强变化和引起的地磁场变化的模型,设计模糊推理规则,并检验了所建规则的合理性。理论分析与仿真结果的对比表明算法能准确地对目标进行分类,且运算量小,适用于计算能力较弱的WSN节点。     

Concept costing for defence projects: the problem and its solution

It is intrinsic to the nature of military competition that the unit acquisition costs of defence systems rise generation by generation. Traditional “bottom‐up” methods of cost‐estimating cannot meet the increasing demands for extensive studies of many options before commencing design and, while “top‐down” estimating techniques are an improvement, in particular by reducing the time required for preparing estimates, they also are inadequate to meet current requirements. A new method has been devised, therefore, further developing “top‐down” methods using Bayesian techniques to make best use of the available information, whether certain or uncertain, and its accuracy established by example.     

A DYNAMIC PANEL DATA MODEL FOR ANALYZING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MILITARY EXPENDITURE AND GOVERNMENT DEBT IN THE EU

This paper examines the impact of military spending on general government debt in the enlarged European Union (EU) countries. For this purpose, we use panel data analysis and provide estimates from a dynamic Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) panel model. The dynamics are found to be important and the results suggest that military expenditures do have a large positive impact on the share of general government debt in the EU.

一种针对HIGHT的改进差分故障的分析

为评估HIGHT轻型分组密码抗故障攻击能力,基于单字节故障模型,提出一种改进的HIGHT故障攻击方法．首先在HIGHT最后1轮注入单字节故障恢复SK124和SK1262个轮密钥,然后增加故障注入深度,在HIGHT倒数第5轮注入单字节故障恢复HIGHT另外10个轮密钥,从而恢复HIGHT的全部主密钥．实验结果表明：仅需22次故障注入即可恢复HIGHT全部128位主密钥,优于现有故障攻击方法所需的32次故障注入．
