A multilevel passenger screening problem for aviation security

Passenger prescreening is a critical component of aviation security systems. This paper introduces the Multilevel Allocation Problem (MAP), which models the screening of passengers and baggage in a multilevel aviation security system. A passenger is screened by one of several classes, each of which corresponds to a set of procedures using security screening devices, where passengers are differentiated by their perceived risk levels. Each class is defined in terms of its fixed cost (the overhead costs), its marginal cost (the additional cost to screen a passenger), and its security level. The objective of MAP is to assign each passenger to a class such that the total security is maximized subject to passenger assignments and budget constraints. This paper shows that MAP is NP‐hard and introduces a Greedy heuristic that obtains approximate solutions to MAP that use no more than two classes. Examples are constructed using data extracted from the Official Airline Guide. Analysis of the examples suggests that fewer security classes for passenger screening may be more effective and that using passenger risk information can lead to more effective security screening strategies. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Approximate dynamic programming methods for an inventory allocation problem under uncertainty

We propose two approximate dynamic programming methods to optimize the distribution operations of a company manufacturing a certain product at multiple production plants and shipping it to different customer locations for sale. We begin by formulating the problem as a dynamic program. Our first approximate dynamic programming method uses a linear approximation of the value function and computes the parameters of this approximation by using the linear programming representation of the dynamic program. Our second method relaxes the constraints that link the decisions for different production plants. Consequently, the dynamic program decomposes by the production plants. Computational experiments show that the proposed methods are computationally attractive, and in particular, the second method performs significantly better than standard benchmarks. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

外军某型反舰导弹导引头仿真方法研究

电子对抗装备的主要作战对象是敌方的攻击性武器,对于靶场来说,要想全面地检验出电子对抗装备的作战效能,就要具有完备的战场电磁环境,并具有全面模拟敌人攻击性武器的能力。为全面检验某型雷达干扰机干扰效果,针对靶场试验,提出了一种利用靶场现有雷达导引头仿真器模拟外军某型反舰导弹导引头的方法。通过对靶场现有装备、外军某型反舰导弹导引头工作原理和雷达干扰机工作机理的分析,设计了一种在不改变原有装备硬件的基础上增加边扫边跟功能的方法,在某型雷达干扰机的靶场试验中收到了很好的应用效果。     

动态教学法在《政治学原理》课程教学中的运用

政治学原理课程在授课过程中存在着教材内容的确定性和稳定性,而无论从国际国内形势还是从政治学研究而言,政治学所关注的范围和内容又都处于动态的不断发展变化的。笔者以为,只有在授课中具体运用动态教学法,通过联系学生自身、联系社会现实、联系国家大事、联系国际政治等实际,才能使政治学原理课程在马克思主义基本原则的指导下,更富有时代特征和生活气息,使学生真正学有所获。
