NON‐LINEARITY IN THE DEFENCE EXPENDITURE – ECONOMIC GROWTH RELATIONSHIP IN TAIWAN

As we enter the 21st Century, technologies originally developed for defense purposes such as computers and satellite communications appear to have become a driving force behind economic growth in the United States. Paradoxically, almost all previous econometric models suggest that the largely defense‐oriented federal industrial R&;D funding that helped create these technologies had no discernible effect on U.S. industrial productivity growth. This paper addresses this paradox by stressing that defense procurement as well as federal R&;D expenditures were targeted to a few narrowly defined manufacturing sub‐sectors that produced high tech weaponry. Analysis employing data from the NBER Manufacturing Productivity Database and the BEA’ s Input Output tables then demonstrates that defense procurement policies did have significant effects on the productivity performance of disaggregated manufacturing industries because of a process of procurement‐driven technological change.     

SOCIAL PREFERENCES FOR NATIONAL DEFENCE AND POLICE ENFORCEMENT IN WESTERN EUROPE

We study the determinants of social preferences for national defence and for police and law enforcement. For this task, we estimate a bivariate ordered probit model for a set of European countries (France, Finland, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden) in 2006. Determinants of spending decisions for defence and police are found to be linked but are of significantly different magnitudes. Besides, measures against terrorist threats are positively linked to police and defence spending increases, while the subjective perception of fiscal pressure has no influence. Finally, no significant differences are found between Northern and Southern Europe.     

新疆兵团地区小学科学课教师队伍建设及授课现状的调查分析——以石河子市为例

义务教育阶段新课程体系全面进入试验阶段,新课程理念对小学科学教与学提出了更高的要求。为了更好的了解小学科学课的实施现状,本研究以新疆石河子市为例,采用问卷调查、访谈和课堂观察等方法对对石河子市小学科学教师的师资队伍现状进行了调查。调查结果显示：石河子市小学科学师资匮乏;小学科学教师的专业背景较差;青年教师居多;授课能力较低;科学教师参加教研培训活动的次数少,质量低;学校对该课程重视度不高。针对这一现状提出了相应的改革建议。

Waiting time analysis of the M/G/1 queue with finite retrial group

We consider an M/G/1 retrial queue with finite capacity of the retrial group. First, we obtain equations governing the dynamic of the waiting time. Then, we focus on the numerical inversion of the density function and the computation of moments. These results are used to approximate the waiting time of the M/G/1 queue with infinite retrial group for which direct analysis seems intractable. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Integrated production scheduling and preventive maintenance planning for a single machine under a cumulative damage failure process

This paper finds the optimal integrated production schedule and preventive maintenance plan for a single machine exposed under a cumulative damage process, and investigates how the optimal preventive maintenance plan interacts with the optimal production schedule. The goal is to minimize the total tardiness. The optimal policy possesses the following properties: Under arbitrary maintenance plan when jobs have common processing time, and different due dates, the optimal production schedule is to order the jobs by earliest due date first rule; and when jobs have common due date and different processing times, the optimal production schedule is shortest processing time first. The optimal maintenance plan is of control limit type under any arbitrary production schedule when machine is exposed under a cumulative damage failure process. Numerical studies on the optimal maintenance control limit of the maintenance plan indicate that as the number of jobs to be scheduled increases, the effect of jobs due dates on the optimal maintenance control limit diminishes. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

复杂电磁环境对舰载导弹防空系统影响分析*

复杂电磁环境对舰载导弹防空系统影响的分析是海军战法研究的核心问题。运用信息战原理,在信息与火力联合作战能力分析平台上的初步试验表明:在复杂电磁环境下,信息因素可以使舰载导弹防空系统击毁入侵飞机数量的统计平均值下降553.96%,火力因素可以使统计平均值下降342.72%,信息与火力联合因素可以使统计平均值下降274.80%,整个舰载导弹防空系统性能趋于恶化。因此,根据复杂电磁环境对舰载导弹防空系统影响的分析结果,制定科学的决策,提高抗电子攻击能力和导弹打击精度,达到提高舰载导弹防空系统信息与火力联合打击目标能力。
