Determinants of southeast asian military spending in the post-cold war era: a dynamic panel analysis

This study examines the demand of military expenditure among Southeast Asian countries since the end of the Cold War. By using a dynamic panel approach, I find that military spending in the region has been jointly determined by economic, strategic and socio-political factors. In particular, surging foreign debt burdens and the rise of China – two regional issues that gained prominence in the post-Cold War period – show their significance as determinants along with other generalist variables. The results therefore ask for the development of even-handed and region-sensitive approaches to studying military build-up in the region of Southeast Asia.     

A PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF THE SECURITY AND DEFENCE TECHNOLOGICAL AND INDUSTRIAL BASE IN SPAIN

This study analyses the performance of the productivity of the main industrial subsectors composing the security and defence technological and industrial base (SDTIB) in Spain from 1996 to 2009. Accordingly, we have used the non-parametric data envelopment analysis and bootstrapping techniques to compute Malmquist productivity indexes that allow us to split productivity growth into efficiency change and technical progress. The results obtained show productivity improvement in the SDTIB as a whole due mainly to advances in technology and to a lesser extent to the contribution of technical efficiency. The bootstrap approach yields further evidence, as for many cases, productivity growth or decline, is not statistically significant. This is the first time a study of this kind has been carried out on the production process of this sector in Spain.     

模糊BCC模型及其在武器装备方案选择中的应用

在模糊环境下,为了选择最适合我军作战需求的武器装备方案,首先基于可信性理论和模糊期望值模型,建立了一类新的模糊期望值BCC（简记为EBCC）模型;然后利用期望值的线性性质,把所建立的EBCC模型转化为其等价形式;最后,利用EBCC方法构建了武器装备方案选择问题的综合评价模型,以雷达装备方案选择为例,从相对有效性评价和EBCC期望有效决策单元的排序两个方面,验证了方法的：正确性和可行性,为武器装备方案选择提供科学依据．     

油库压缩机组温度变送器法兰根部泄漏失效分析

为了解决基地油库压缩机组温度变送器法兰根部焊缝泄漏问题,采用照相、无损检测、化学成分分析、金相分析、显微硬度分析、扫描电镜观察与能谱分析等方法,对失效法兰进行失效分析。研究结果表明,法兰焊缝根部泄漏系焊缝未焊透和存在夹杂物所致,并因外应力作用而在熔合区马氏体区域沿晶扩展,导致角焊缝最终脆性断裂。结合现场实际情况,提出防止发生类似事故的建议。

Improved bounds for batch scheduling with nonidentical job sizes

Here, we revisit the bounded batch scheduling problem with nonidentical job sizes on single and parallel identical machines, with the objective of minimizing the makespan. For the single machine case, we present an algorithm which calls an online algorithm (chosen arbitrarily) for the one‐dimensional bin‐packing problem as a sub‐procedure, and prove that its worst‐case ratio is the same as the absolute performance ratio of . Hence, there exists an algorithm with worst‐case ratio , which is better than any known upper bound on this problem. For the parallel machines case, we prove that there does not exist any polynomial‐time algorithm with worst‐case ratio smaller than 2 unless P = NP, even if all jobs have unit processing time. Then we present an algorithm with worst‐case ratio arbitrarily close to 2. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 61: 351–358, 2014     

基于非概率理论的混合不确定性结构可靠性分析方法

摘要: 针对不确定性结构可靠性分析中的输入变量分布参数具有不确定性和输入变量为区间模型的混合不确定性结构展开研究。考虑可用信息最少的情况,将分布参数的不确定性描述为区间模型。通过等概率转换方法将随机变量与其分布参数进行分离,使问题转化为随机与区间变量混合的可靠性问题,建立了混合不确定性问题的可靠性分析模型。基于非概率可靠性理论,建立混合不确定结构分析模型的二级极限状态函数并结合Kriging代理模型建立了高效的求解方法。此外,将所建立的混合不确定模型应用于飞行器结构的不确定性分析中,验证所建模型的合理性和所提方法的高效性和准确性。
