Chance‐constrained multi‐terminal network design problems

We consider a reliable network design problem under uncertain edge failures. Our goal is to select a minimum‐cost subset of edges in the network to connect multiple terminals together with high probability. This problem can be seen as a stochastic variant of the Steiner tree problem. We propose two scenario‐based Steiner cut formulations, study the strength of the proposed valid inequalities, and develop a branch‐and‐cut solution method. We also propose an LP‐based separation for the scenario‐based directed Steiner cut inequalities using Benders feasibility cuts, leveraging the success of the directed Steiner cuts for the deterministic Steiner tree problem. In our computational study, we test our branch‐and‐cut method on instances adapted from graphs in SteinLib Testdata Library with up to 100 nodes, 200 edges, and 17 terminals. The performance of our branch‐and‐cut method demonstrates the strength of the scenario‐based formulations and the benefit from adding the additional valid inequalities that we propose. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

饶家驹与南京安全区的设立

在淞沪会战中,法国神父饶家驹在上海设立了南市难民区,开创了人类史上国际救济难民的成功先例。饶家驹难民区启发了在宁西方人士设立南京安全区的灵感,饶家驹本人也为南京安全区的成立起到了十分重要的桥梁作用。同时,南市难民区模式也成为南京安全区效仿的榜样。但由于上海与南京两地存在诸多差异,日军当局对饶家驹难民区和南京安全区采取了截然不同的态度,在日军占领南京前夕,南京安全区未能得到日军的正式承认。     

簇结构对无线传感器网络干扰及生命周期的影响

为降低网络干扰,延长生命周期,针对扇形环分簇的无线传感器网络,引入功率控制策略以改进传统的物理干扰模型和能耗模型。在此基础上,通过分析数据包产生过程,对网络干扰和生命周期进行计算。数值计算结果表明,网络中内外环宽度相差较小时,生命周期较长,但对干扰无影响;外环簇数应适当多于内环簇数;扇形环簇的数量增多时,网络干扰加剧,然而生命周期得到延长。研究结果为优化无线传感器网络中簇结构提供了依据。

Does defence expenditure have a spillover effect on income inequality? A cross-regional analysis in China

China’s defence expenditure has been growing rapidly along with GDP growth during the past two decades. Meanwhile, the income gap has continued to increase. There are conflicting views regarding whether the defence expenditure is capable of reducing income inequality. Therefore, this paper investigates the existence of any spillover effect of defence expenditure on income inequality, with a special focus on the regional differences among 31 provinces and 7 military regions in China. We extend panel cointegration and the impulse response function by using panel data during the period of 1997–2012. The empirical results show that the defence expenditure has an impact on income inequality, and the effect varies over different regions in China. The defence expenditure has a spillover effect on income inequality in the full sample panel and the southeastern panel. An increase in the defence expenditure does not crowd out social welfare spending due to the high level of economic development and government expenditure. On the contrary, in the northern panel, the effect is opposite because of the unbalanced economic development levels within the panel. Beijing as the capital of China, benefits more from the expansion of defence expenditure thus widening the income gap. In addition, the impulse response analyses further confirm a stronger effect of the defence expenditure on income inequality in the northern and the southeastern panels over a short period.

Driving force coordinated control of an 8 ×8 in-wheel motor drive vehicle with tire-road friction coefficient identification

Because of the complexities of tire-road interaction,the wheels of a multi-wheel distributed electric drive vehicle can easily slip under certain working conditions.As wheel slip affects the dynamic per-formance and stability of the vehicle,it is crucial to control it and coordinate the driving force.With this aim,this paper presents a driving force coordination control strategy with road identification for eight-wheeled electric vehicles equipped with an in-wheel motor for each wheel.In the proposed control strategy,the road identification module estimates tire-road forces using an unscented Kalman filter al-gorithm and recognizes the road adhesion coefficient by employing the recursive least-square method.According to road identification,the optimal slip ratio under the current driving condition is obtained,and a controller based on sliding mode control with a conditional integrator uses this value for accel-eration slip regulation.The anti-slip controller obtains the adjusting torque,which is integrated with the driver-command-based feedforward control torque to implement driving force coordination control.The results of hardware-in-loop simulation show that this control strategy can accurately estimate tire-road forces as well as the friction coefficient,and thus,can effectively fulfill the purpose of driving force coordinated control under different driving conditions.     

矿区生态型和非矿区生态型蜈蚣草对铅胁迫的生理响应

探讨不同矿区生态型蜈蚣草对铅的耐性及其耐铅机理,为进一步研究蜈蚣草植物修复射击场土壤的铅污染提供理论依据。在水培铅胁迫的环境条件,对矿区生态型和非矿区生态型蜈蚣草生长过程中的生物量、色素含量、MDA质量摩尔浓度和CAT,POD,SOD活性等进行了研究。研究发现,营养液中铅的加入抑制了蜈蚣草的生长,降低了羽叶中的色素含量,大幅度提高了MDA质量摩尔浓度和CAT,POD,SOD活性。结果表明,蜈蚣草对铅有一定的耐性,并且矿区生态型蜈蚣草的耐性明显高于非矿区生态型。主要表现为矿区生态型蜈蚣草的抗氧化酶活性高于非矿区生态型,生物量和色素含量受铅胁迫影响的程度相对较小。当铅质量浓度达到300 mg/L,铅胁迫15 d后,非矿区生态型蜈蚣草抗氧化酶系统紊乱,植株接近枯死状态,而矿区生态型蜈蚣草的耐性表现相对较好。
