Supplier certification and quality investment in supply chains

Global sourcing has made quality management a more challenging task, and supplier certification has emerged as a solution to overcome suppliers' informational advantage about their product quality. This article analyzes the impact of certification standards on the supplier's investment in quality, when a buyer outsources the production process. Based on our results, deterministic certification may lead to under‐investment in quality improvement technology for efficient suppliers, thereby leading to potential supply chain inefficiency. The introduction of noisy certification may alleviate this under‐investment problem, when the cost of information asymmetry is high. While allowing noisy certification always empowers the buyer to offer a menu to screen among heterogeneous suppliers, the buyer may optimally choose only a limited number of certification standards. Our analysis provides a clear‐cut prediction of the types of certifiers the buyer should use for heterogeneous suppliers, and we identify the conditions under which the supplier benefits from noisy certification. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

自适应LMS和相关算法在GMI磁传感器信号检测中的应用

在GMI磁传感器的研制中,微弱磁场信号经常淹没于电路固有噪声中。当非晶丝GMI(GiantMagneto-Impedance)磁传感器的输出信噪比小于0dB时,常规的峰值检波方法无法检出传感器信号。针对此问题,提出了一种新的微弱信号(信噪比小于0dB)检测方法,利用LMS自适应滤波算法提取非晶丝GMI磁传感器输出信号的特征参数,将该特征参数与理想参数进行相关运算,并根据相关值的大小来确定信号大小,从而实现对微弱磁信号的测量。仿真结果表明,采用LMS自适应滤波算法和相关分析相结合的方法,对于传感器输出信噪比等于-10dB的微弱信号,根据相关值与外磁场大小的对应关系,仍然可以确定外磁场大小。

女性解放:鲁迅杂文人学的精神呼唤

鲁迅作为伟大的人道主义者,一生执著探索“立人”的道路.在主张“立人”和“解放人性”的呐喊中,把自己的同情关爱与道义责任倾注在社会底层被压迫的妇女身上,关注她们的苦难命运.鲁迅在杂文中激烈地批判封建礼教强加在女性身上的道德规范的“节烈观”;深切地关注觉醒了的女性,为她们指明经济权的重要性;深刻地指出女性解放的艰难性和不彻底性,急切地唤醒女性的自我意识,鼓励女性为争得平等的社会地位和独立的人格与社会做“深沉的韧性的斗争”.

基于概念知识树的军事想定描述方法

为了增强军事想定描述规范的知识性,在研究概念知识树的基础上提出了一种基于概念知识树的军事想定描述方法.首先,以军事想定描述需求为依据,使用概念知识树对军事想定的元素进行描述和组织,建立军事想定的知识表达模型;然后利用军事想定定义语言(military scenario definition language,MSDL)框架和5Ws对军事想定进行系统性组织,形成符合军情的想定描述规范.在多兵种联合仿真实验中应用了该描述方法,实现了想定在不同兵种之间的共享,证明了该描述方法的可用性和有效性.

A RANDOM RATIONING MECHANISM WHICH REDUCES THE RISKS OF NO SON LEFT AT HOME

This paper empirically re‐examines the long‐run co‐movements and the causal relationships between GDP and defence expenditures in a multivariate model with real defence expenditure per capita (ME), real GDP per capita (GDP), and real capital stock per capita (K). We apply the view of the aggregate production function to construct the empirical model. Using up‐to‐date data for 27 OECD countries and 62 non‐OECD countries for the 1988–2003 period, we combine cross‐sectional and time series data to re‐investigate the relationship between GDP and ME. Previous studies using time series data may have yielded misleading results on account of the short time span of typical datasets. By contrast, we use recently developed panel unit root tests and heterogeneous panel cointegration tests, and conclude that there is fairly strong evidence in favour of the hypothesis of a long‐run equilibrium relationship between GDP and ME. The long‐run panel regression parameter results, such as the fully modified OLS, indicate that a positive relationship between GDP and ME only holds for OECD countries, whereas a negative relationship from ME to GDP only exists in non‐OECD countries under examination and in the panel as a whole. Furthermore, by implementing the dynamic panel‐based error correction model, we determine that GDP and ME lack short‐run causalities, but do show long‐run bidirectional causalities in both OECD and non‐OECD countries.
