Security,autonomy and defense burdens: The effects of alliance membership in the 19th and 20th centuries

This paper investigates the effect of alliance membership on the defense burdens of major powers in the 19th and 20th centuries. We hypothesize that the reactions of states to alliance membership will be different in the pre‐nuclear and nuclear eras. Possession of nuclear weapons by allies makes the security provided by the alliance more akin to a collective good than is the case in the pre‐nuclear era. States join alliances for two reasons: security and autonomy. The effects of each of these concerns are identified. We include in our model such alliance‐level factors as the power equivalence of the allies and the number of states in the alliance. We also look at state‐level variables such as power position within the alliance. We conclude that the nuclear period generally operates as the free‐rider principle would posit, while models based on “complementarity of effort” are more applicable in the earlier period.     

Estimating defence budget saving from disarmament: the United States’ case

Probing the technology in the production of US national defence by using a dynamic cost‐function model with adjustment costs, this paper evaluates the effect of reducing the level of national defence on the defence budget saving. Our inquiry involves estimating the defence production structure without output data for non‐market goods that are normally unavailable. Our findings include: (i) the United States behaves rationally to minimize cost in the production of national defence; (ii) the adjustment costs are larger in disarmament than in military build‐up; (iii) due to the adjustment costs peculiar to disarmament, the defence budget saving from disarmament appears small, but cutbacks allow great savings on the defence budget.     

海洋内孤立波时空仿真分析

目前对于内波传播有很多研究方法,虽然总结了很多内波传播的特性,但很少对内波传播特性全面的总结,因此,从内波KDV方程出发,利用椭圆函数展开进行求解,结合垂向模态函数对内波水下结构进行仿真,同时对内波水平流与垂直流在空间与时间上的分布进行分析,总结了内孤立波传播特性,为内波系统的研究提供理论基础。

一种新的保持分形特征的分形变形方法

针对IFS吸引子变形过程中间出现的分形特征退化的问题,提出基于局部吸引子的近似凸包及旋转匹配的特征对应方法.IFS吸引子的局部吸引子可由独立的IFS生成,IFS中每个压缩仿射映射存在不动点,构造所有不动点的凸包,即得到局部近似凸包;证明了局部近似凸包间的相似对应等价于局部吸引子间的相似对应,并提出了通过旋转匹配的特征对应方法实现局部近似凸包的配对,最后计算所有配对下相似度最高的一组局部近似凸包匹配,确定局部吸引子间的特征对应,即IFS特征对应.对两个IFS进行线性插值可实现保持分形特征的分形变形.     

AHP法在舰空导弹作战通道分析中的应用

层次分析法(AHP)是一种简便、灵活而又实用的多准则决策的系统分析方法。运用该分析方法对舰空导弹武器各作战通道的性能进行综合分析,其中在对决策矩阵进行计算时,使用了三种不同的效用函数对方案层的各项指标进行了量化,最后得出了各作战通道的综合价值,此值可为指挥员决策提供参考。计算结果表明该方法用于作战通道评价是切实可行的。     

一种灰色模糊多属性决策模型

实际中的决策问题常常具有不确定性和灰色性。根据灰色系统和模糊数学的一些理论,同时考虑一个问题中的模糊性——隶属度与灰色性——灰度,将其综合起来表示为灰色模糊数的概念。在原有多属性决策(MADM)方法的基础上提出了一种灰色模糊多属性决策模型,并给出了模型的求解方法。待决策的各方案的排序是依据其到灰色模糊理想解的灰色模糊距离大小而进行的。     

Ambulance location for maximum survival

This article proposes new location models for emergency medical service stations. The models are generated by incorporating a survival function into existing covering models. A survival function is a monotonically decreasing function of the response time of an emergency medical service (EMS) vehicle to a patient that returns the probability of survival for the patient. The survival function allows for the calculation of tangible outcome measures—the expected number of survivors in case of cardiac arrests. The survival‐maximizing location models are better suited for EMS location than the covering models which do not adequately differentiate between consequences of different response times. We demonstrate empirically the superiority of the survival‐maximizing models using data from the Edmonton EMS system. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2008

为了提高齿轮箱故障诊断的精度，提出基于ARX模型的齿轮箱建模新方法，从系统固有特性的角度来分析齿轮箱的状态，使用最大最小蚁群算法对反映齿轮箱多变量传递特性的多个特征参量进行特征选择并使用这些特征进行故障诊断。结果表明，该方法既能够有效提高故障诊断的效率和精度，又能有效降低输入条件和负载出现波动对识别结果的影响。
