A model to design recreational boat mooring fields

This article develops a mathematical model and heuristic algorithm to design recreational boating mooring fields. The boating industry is important to the Florida economy, and boat storage is becoming a concern among those in the industry. The mooring field design problem is formulated to maximize the total number of boat feet moored in the mooring field. In the model, we allow two adjacent moorings to overlap, which introduces a risk that under certain conditions the boats on these moorings could contact each other. We identify the conditions when contact is possible and quantify the probability of contact. The mooring field design problem is formulated as a nonlinear mixed‐integer programming problem. To solve the problem, we decompose it into two separate models, a mooring radii assignment model and a mooring layout model, which are solved sequentially. The first is solved via exhaustive enumeration and the second via a depth‐first search algorithm. Two actual mooring fields are evaluated, and in both cases our model leads to better layouts than ones experts developed manually. The mooring field design model rationalizes the mooring field design and shows that in one case by increasing the risk from 0 to 1%, the mooring efficiency increases from 74.8% to 96.2%. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Environment as a Factor in Small Wars*

This research paper analyzes the relationship between small wars, insurgency, and the natural environment. Existing literature and data are organized into four behavioral patterns: the resource-based wars accounts for the fight over natural resources; the warfare ecology paradigm refers to non-premeditated damage in preparation for as well as during and after conflicts; the environment as a target discusses intended attacks on the ecosystem; and the insurgency–climate intersection pattern denotes a deviation in climate change that increases the frequency of intergroup violence. The main premise is that small wars emerge when the ecosystem becomes a political asset.     

悬空管道固有频率的计算

在地质灾害作用下,输油管道下方的土层下陷或流失会造成管道悬空。当悬空管道发生弯曲变形时,两端埋地管道要对悬空管道产生影响。利用埋设段和悬空管道的受力平衡条件联立求解出两段管道的弯曲变形,并且讨论了不同土壤刚度和管道轴向力条件下悬空管道振动的固有频率,并和工程上推荐使用的简支梁和两端固支梁的静动态特性进行比较。管道大幅振动或共振是管道破坏的重要原因,准确计算悬空管道的固有频率,对悬空管道的静力分析、振动分析以及输油管道的完整性评价都有非常重要的意义。     

自然冷却混凝土显微痕迹研究

飞机静电起电放电机理及带电极性的相关研究

飞机上的静电来源主要包括：沉积颗粒的摩擦起电、发动机引擎燃烧产生的等离子气体起电、穿越带电云层时的感应起电、对流起电和雨滴等粒子的破裂起电等。当机体上电压达到周围介质的放电电压阈值时就会放电,这些放电产生的电磁噪声对导航和通讯都会造成干扰。飞机放电机理主要包括电晕放电、绝缘材料与金属之间的流柱放电和相邻未焊接金属间的火花放电。在实验室内通过对不同物质进行摩擦起电试验和发动机尾气喷射起电实验,得出不同起电方式的带电极性。
