What is the global landpower network and what value might it provide?

US national security guidance, as well as the US Army’s operational experiences since 2001, emphasizes the importance of working closely with partner countries to achieve US strategic objectives. The US Army has introduced the global landpower network (GLN) concept as a means to integrate, sustain and advance the Army’s considerable ongoing efforts to meet US national security guidance. This study develops the GLN concept further, and addresses three questions. What benefits can the GLN provide the Army? What are the essential components of the GLN? What options exist for implementing the GLN concept? By developing the GLN concept, the Army has the opportunity to transition the GLN from an often ad hoc and reactive set of relationships to one that the Army more self-consciously prioritizes and leverages as a resource to meet US strategic objectives.     

Performance analysis of queue length monitoring of M/G/1 systems

This study investigates the statistical process control application for monitoring queue length data in M/G/1 systems. Specifically, we studied the average run length (ARL) characteristics of two different control charts for detecting changes in system utilization. First, the nL chart monitors the sums of successive queue length samples by subgrouping individual observations with sample size n. Next is the individual chart with a warning zone whose control scheme is specified by two pairs of parameters, (upper control limit, d_u) and (lower control limit, d_l), as proposed by Bhat and Rao (Oper Res 20 (1972) 955–966). We will present approaches to calculate ARL for the two types of control charts using the Markov chain formulation and also investigate the effects of parameters of the control charts to provide useful design guidelines for better performance. Extensive numerical results are included for illustration. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2011     

冷兵器时代战争对经济发展的影响——以唐、五代时期华北平原为考察中心

安史之乱爆发,使华北陷入战争的泥潭,特别是安史之乱后期,中央和安史叛军主要在华北一带争夺,这里的经济发展受到了严重的破坏,"人烟断绝,千里萧条".有些学者认为安史乱后,华北经济从此便衰落下去,也有些学者不赞成此说.那么,华北平原是否由于安史战乱而一蹶不振呢?

The 22 September 1979 Vela Incident: The Detected Double-Flash

On 22 September 1979 two optical sensors on U.S. satellite Vela 6911 detected a double-flash of light that appeared characteristic of an atmospheric nuclear explosion conducted over the southern Atlantic or Indian Ocean. It became known as the Vela Incident, Event 747, or Alert 747. An anomaly between the amplitude of the two signals during the second pulse led a U.S. government expert panel established to assess the event to conclude in mid-1980 that a more likely explanation was the impact of a small meteoroid on the satellite, the debris from which reflected sunlight into the sensors' field of view. No model was presented to support the contention, and a similar anomaly—known as background modulation—was a given for the second pulse of all confirmed explosions detected by Vela, though beginning later. Nonetheless, this event has remained the subject of intense debate. This article reviews the evidence and presents an updated analysis of the original Vela signal based on recently declassified literature and on modern knowledge of interplanetary dust and hyper velocity impact. Given the geometry of the satellite, and that the bulk of the surface comprised solar panels, much of the debris from any collision would be carried away from the sensors' field of view. Thus, a meteoroid collision appears much less likely than previously assumed. The double flash is instead consistent with a nuclear explosion, albeit detected by an aged satellite for which background modulation was abnormal and/or commenced earlier, also seen in post-event SYSTEM tests. A companion paper to be published in 2018 presents radionuclide and hydroacoustic evidence supporting the conclusion that the Vela Incident was a nuclear weapon test explosion.     

Operational idealism: doctrine development of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army under Soviet threat, 1969–1989

This article analyses the doctrine development of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) coping with the Soviet military threat between 1969 and 1989. In the 1970s, the PLA applied a doctrine of ‘active defence and luring the enemy into depth’ based on its traditional operational art. In 1980, the PLA decided to focus its doctrine on positional defence. In 1986, the PLA introduced ‘integrated operations and prioritised strike’, a generalised doctrine that originated from its war history. Many organisational and intellectual challenges in peacetime doctrine development contributed to the PLA’s operational idealism, including its aging leadership, command structure, attitude towards its previous experience, limited analysis of contemporary military developments, and failure in test and validation of doctrines. In the post-Cold War decade, many of these challenges persisted in spite of military modernization efforts. The ongoing military reform has to address these challenges and improve the PLA doctrine development in peacetime.     

弹丸弹托结构参数对挤进阻力的影响研究

为了研究某滑膛武器弹丸弹托的不同结构参数及摩擦系数对挤进阻力的影响,分别以弹丸弹托的不同结构参数及摩擦系数作为单一变量,利用Ansys-workbench有限元软件分别对其挤进过程进行数值模拟仿真,得到挤进阻力的变化,进而分析该结构参数对挤进阻力的影响,从而为该滑膛武器弹丸结构设计提供了重要依据,也为同类武器的弹托设计提供了一定的参考价值。     

基于频谱的缺陷定位技术:逆向切片优于执行切片

一般情况下,缺陷定位技术的应用前提是必须存在测试预言,以判断测试用例的运行结果是失败或者成功,否则将无法使用。然而,在许多实际情况下,测试预言不存在或者很难定义,这就是著名的"预言家难题"。为了应对"预言家难题",利用蜕变测试,扩充了采用逆向切片基于频谱的缺陷定位技术的方法学,实现了其在无测试预言下的有效应用。基于上述研究,进一步对比了SFL技术中执行切片与逆向切片的缺陷定位能力。实验表明,在有测试预言和无测试预言两种情况下,逆向切片比执行切片具有更强的缺陷定位能力,并且公式GP19和ER1’相比于其他公式,更有可能达到最优结果。
