Inventory transshipment game with limited supply: Trap or treat

Inventory transshipment is generally shown to be beneficial to retailers by matching their excess demand with surplus inventory. We investigate an inventory transshipment game with two newsvendor-type retailers under limited total supply and check whether the retailers are better off than the case without transshipment. We derive the ordering strategies for the retailers and show that unlike the unlimited supply case, a pure Nash equilibrium only exists under certain conditions. Furthermore, contrary to the conventional wisdom, we show that inventory transshipment may not always benefit both retailers. Although one of the retailers is guaranteed to be better off, the other could be worse off. The decision criteria are then provided for the retailers to determine if they will benefit from the exercise of inventory transshipment. Numerical study indicates that the carefully chosen transshipment prices play an important role in keeping inventory transshipment beneficial to both retailers. Subsequently, a coordinating mechanism is designed for the retailers to negotiate transshipment prices that maximize the total profit of the two retailers while keeping each of them in a beneficial position.     

空气深度预冷组合循环发动机吸气式模态建模及性能分析

针对空气深度预冷组合循环发动机——协同吸气式火箭发动机(Synergistic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine,SABRE),采用部件法对其进行建模,匹配计算得到吸气式模态下飞行走廊内其性能参数变化规律,并研究其高度速度特性。计算模型可信度较高,推力误差小于6%,能够较为准确地模拟SABRE吸气式模态的性能参数。结果表明:SABRE兼具火箭发动机大推力和航空发动机高比冲的特点,吸气式模态下比冲介于21 300~27 380 m/s,随着高度速度的增大,其推力比冲先增大后减小;SABRE利用预冷器将入口空气温度降低,可使其空域速域拓宽至25 km、5Ma,满足高超声速飞行的动力需求;发动机速度下限由压气机最大流量决定,速度上限则由氦气回路减压器工作限制条件决定。     

Comparing the Anglo-American and Israeli-American Special Relationships in the Obama Era: An Alliance Persistence Perspective

The Anglo-American and Israeli-American special relationships have proved to be unusually close and have confounded expectations that they would wither away with the changing international environment. In order to explain this, the article proposes a theory of ‘alliance persistence’ that is based on reciprocity over shared geostrategic interests, sentimental attachments and institutionalised security relations. The article employs this theoretical framework to explore how Anglo-American and Israeli-American relations have developed during the Obama administration. It argues that the Anglo-American relationship has been closer because of the two countries’ shared strategic interests, whilst the Israeli-American relationship has experienced divergences in how the security interests of the two sides have been pursued. The article concludes by assessing how the two relationships will fair in the post-Obama era and argues that there are numerous areas of tension in the US-Israeli relationship that risk future tensions.

共产国际与中共应对皖南事变军事方针的调整

自抗日战争进入战略相持阶段到皖南事变发生后的1个月间,中共中央面对国民党顽固派制造的一系列反共摩擦,对各种复杂因素进行综合判断,采取了适当的应对措施,维护了抗日民族统一战线的完整,军事措施是其中一个重要方面。在这一方面,中共中央从对国民党顽固派采取攻势防御战略到皖南事变前夕采取的拖延方针,再到皖南事变之后军事守势方针的确立,都受到共产国际观点的影响。
