Using container inspection history to improve interdiction logistics for illicit nuclear materials

Strengthening the United States' ability to prevent adversaries from smuggling nuclear materials into the country is a vital and ongoing issue. The prospect of additional countries, such as Iran, obtaining the know‐how and equipment to produce these special nuclear materials in the near future underscores the need for efficient and effective inspection policies at ports and border crossings. In addition, the reduction of defense and homeland security budgets in recent years has made it increasingly important to accomplish the interdiction mission with fewer funds. Addressing these complications, in this article, we present a novel two‐port interdiction model. We propose using prior inspection data as a low‐cost way of increasing overall interdiction performance. We provide insights into two primary questions: first, how should a decision maker at a domestic port use detection data from the foreign port to improve the overall detection capability? Second, what are potential limitations to the usefulness of prior inspection data—is it possible that using prior data actually harms decision making at the domestic port? We find that a boundary curve policy (BCP) that takes into account both foreign and domestic inspection data can provide a significant improvement in detection probability. This BCP also proves to be surprisingly robust, even if adversaries are able to infiltrate shipments during transit. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 60: 433‐448, 2013     

Joint inventory and pricing decisions for perishable products with two‐period lifetime

We consider a periodic review model over a finite horizon for a perishable product with fixed lifetime equal to two review periods. The excess demand in a period is backlogged. The optimal replenishment and demand management (using price) decisions for such a product depend on the relative order of consumption of fresh and old units. We obtain insights on the structure of these decisions when the order of consumption is first‐in, first‐out and last‐in, first‐out. For the FIFO system, we also obtain bounds on both the optimal replenishment quantity as well as expected demand. We compare the FIFO system to two widely analyzed inventory systems that correspond to nonperishable and one‐period lifetime products to understand if demand management would modify our understanding of the relationship among the three systems. In a counterintuitive result, we find that it is more likely that bigger orders are placed in the FIFO system than for a nonperishable product when demand is managed. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

姿态角单次调整的固体运载火箭耗尽关机能量管理方法

固体运载火箭传统耗尽关机制导方法姿态角调整次数过多,不利于控制系统设计。提出了姿态角单次调整的耗尽关机能量管理策略:以火箭的待增视速度方向为基准,通过计算火箭所需耗费的视速度,优化选取火箭的初、末姿态角;火箭以恒定角速率从初姿态角变为末姿态角,达到末姿态角时保持恒定,直至耗尽关机。仿真结果表明,新方法在满足火箭的终端速度约束条件下,视速度模量耗费百分比超过30%,且姿态角单向调整,有利于控制系统的工程设计。

不准出入境的法律性质探析

根据出入境管理相关法律法规的具体规定,通过对不准出入境内含的各个要素进行分拆而予以具体定性.以不准出入境的不同适用对象为主线,结合具体的行为主体和适用条件分析论证其法律性质.不准出入境既不属于行政强制措施,也不属于行政处罚或处理性行政决定,而属于行政许可、行政协助或国家行为(视具体情形而定).

基于DM2的体系结构可执行模型构建方法

基于元模型的体系结构设计思想和基于可执行模型的评估方法是体系结构领域研究的两个热点,但当前的研究没有将两者结合起来。文章基于DoDAF2.0提出的元模型数据(Meta-Model Data,DM2),将元模型的思想和基于可执行模型的评估方法相结合,分析了基于DM2的逻辑数据与可执行模型各构建要素的对应关系,构建了基于DM2的逻辑数据模型直接转可执行模型的过程框架,重点研究了如何直接从体系结构底层数据转可执行模型的方法,从而为进行基于元模型的体系结构可执行评估提供模型基础,也为进一步实现体系结构自动化验证评估提供技术支持。实例验证了文章提出的方法。

氦原子1S, 3S, 1P, 3P态的电子关联计算

本文从二次量子化公式出发,选取广义Laguerre多项式乘以γ~lcxp(-alγ)作为单电子径向函数完全集,这里a_l是依赖于轨道角动量l的变分参数,用组态相互作用方法计算了氨原子~1S,~3S,~1P,~3P态的能量和波函数。当组态限于主量子数n≤4,计算的能量相对精度约为99.9%;当组态限于%≤6,能量相对精度约为99.99%;而Hartree Fock方法的能量相对精度约为99%,利用原子波函数计算了一些原子参数,其结果与其他作者的结果符合很好。     

气象探空火箭气温测量不确定度评估方法

在气象火箭测温修正模型基础上,通过误差分析理论,对温度修正及其不确定度评估方法进行研究。根据火箭探空仪在空中下落过程中大气密度变化规律,建立温度修正数学模型,推导得到温度修正公式。根据误差理论,分析影响温度修正的八项误差因素,并逐项给出温度修正误差表达式。以气象火箭实测数据为例,运用上述公式,对探空火箭温度反演不确定度进行分析计算。结果表明:温度反演不确定度在50~60 km较大,最大为3.6 K;40~50 km不确定度为0.3~0.9 K;40 km以下,不大于0.3 K。影响温度不确定度的因素主要是气动加热修正项、滞后效应修正项、结构热传导修正项和传感器对环境热辐射修正项。数据处理时采用参考大气或标准大气仅进行一次修正是不够的,需进行迭代修正,单次修正结果与迭代修正结果差异最大可达5.6 K。
