Reliability and mean residual life functions of coherent systems in an active redundancy

In this article, the reliability and the mean residual life (MRL) functions of a system with active redundancies at the component and system levels are investigated. In active redundancy at the component level, the original and redundant components are working together and lifetime of the system is determined by the maximum of lifetime of the original components and their spares. In the active redundancy at the system level, the system has a spare, and the original and redundant systems work together. The lifetime of such a system is then the maximum of lifetimes of the system and its spare. The lifetimes of the original component and the spare are assumed to be dependent random variables. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 64: 19–28, 2017     

‘Legitimacy is the Main Objective’: Legitimation in Population-Centric Counterinsurgency

Abstract

This article seeks to contribute to the understanding of the role of legitimacy and different forms of legitimation in population-centric counterinsurgency. An analysis of the logic underlying this counterinsurgency concept sheds a light on the former as it identifies legitimacy as the crucial mechanism through which a collaboration strategy seeks to obtain control over the local population. An exploration of Weber’s primary types of legitimate authorities provides the insight that counterinsurgents might operationalize legitimation through either rational-legal ways or by co-opting local power-holders who hold a position as traditional or charismatic leaders. The exact choice of strategy depends on the pattern of legitimacy in the target society and therefore so-called cultural legitimation is pivotal.

Production planning with resources subject to congestion

A fundamental difficulty in developing effective production planning models has been accurately reflecting the nonlinear dependency between workload and lead times. We develop a mathematical programming model for production planning in multiproduct, single stage systems that captures the nonlinear dependency between workload and lead times. We then use outer linearization of this nonlinear model to obtain a linear programming formulation and extend it to multistage systems. Extensive computational experiments validate the approach and compare its results to conventional models that assume workload‐independent planning lead times. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于单元变形的网格间流场信息传递方法

针对单元网格发生变形重构中新旧网格之间的数据插值问题,提出一种基于格点格式有限体积法的流场数据传递方法。利用非结构动网格技术,将旧网格单元移动到新网格单元,同时时间推进求解流场控制方程,获得移动后旧网格单元物理量,并将其赋给新网格单元,以此来实现两套网格间的信息传递。计算结果表明,该方法在信息传递过程中没有引入插值误差,理论上流场求解方法的精度就是信息传递精度,验证结果表明其显著优于二阶插值精度。

中国传统文化精神在抗战文学中的表现

抗日战争决定了抗战文学必然和中国传统文化保持着血肉联系,这使得抗战文学表现出向传统文化回归的价值趋向。传统文化观念中的正气、骨气、义气,以及缘、忍、孝等许多东西在抗战文学中得到了生动地表现。因此,极大地丰富了抗战文学的内容。
