Choosing the Right Sidekick: Economic Complements to US Military Grand Strategies

ABSTRACT

Scholars and practitioners of grand strategy agree that the use of military force should be supplemented by appropriate economic policies. However, strangely few accounts of economic complements to military grand strategies have been presented in recent discourse on US grand strategy. This paper takes a first step to fill this information gap. I first assess the role that could be played by economic measures under two types of grand strategies – one focusing on the balance of power and the other emphasising influence and order. Second, I introduce what I call ‘the influence-capability dilemma’ and discuss tradeoffs in adopting certain economic policies in order to help the US sustain pre-eminence in the international system. Third, I discuss how the US should address this dilemma of economic means in dealing with the rising China.     

基于改进匈牙利算法的多技能人员调度方法

人员的优化配置对于提高装备制造效率具有重要意义。针对经典匈牙利算法不能解决具有并联环节的人员指派问题的不足,提出利用虚拟工作代替并联环节,将问题转化为典型的指派问题;通过判断虚拟工作的可实现性,迭代搜索得到最优解。以某多技能人员任务指派系统为例,详细介绍了该优化方法的步骤。优化结果很好地验证了改进算法的有效性。     

基于子空间投影波束形成技术的导航接收机抗干扰算法研究

阵列天线空时自适应处理通过联合空域和时域的自适应滤波处理技术能够有效提高导航接收机的窄带和宽带干扰抑制性能。利用导航信号淹没在干扰信号和热噪声的特点,本文提出先将天线阵列接收的空时信号矢量向干扰子空间的正交子空间投影以实现干扰抑制,当接收机对投影后的参考阵元数据捕获成功后,利用捕获估计的本地扩频码相位作为参考信号依据最小均方误差准则进行波束形成。仿真结果表明该抗干扰算法在零陷强干扰的同时使主波束指向导航信号来波方向,有效提高了阵列输出信干噪比,并降低了空时自适应处理对导航信号伪码相关峰形状和载波跟踪性能的影响。     

固定翼反潜巡逻机作战效能评估

运用改进的Topsis评估模型对反潜巡逻机的作战效能进行评估,主要是对指标权重的计算方法进行改进:综合考虑客观熵权和专家主观权重得到综合权重,通过客观的熵权信息来调整主观权重的偏差,使得反潜巡逻机作战效能的评价结果更为合理。实例分析表明,该方法能够主客观相结合,简单有效,具有一定的推广应用价值。     

改进柔性资源约束项目调度模型与粒子群算法

在资源受限项目调度问题中,将可再生资源进一步拓展为具有能力差异的柔性资源,建立考虑能力差异的柔性资源受限的多模式项目调度问题模型,该模型是对传统资源约束项目调度问题(RCPSP)更接近实际的拓展。提出了基于粒子群算法的求解算法,粒子群算法求解该模型的思路为,利用蒙特卡洛方法根据资源-能力矩阵与活动模式-能力矩阵得到活动模式-资源矩阵,将考虑能力差异的柔性资源受限的多模式项目调度问题转换为常规的多模式项目调度问题,然后利用基于任务序列与模式表示的粒子群算法对该多模式项目调度问题进行求解。用数值实例说明了模型的合理性与算法的有效性。     

Concise RLT forms of binary programs: A computational study of the quadratic knapsack problem

The reformulation‐linearization technique (RLT) is a methodology for constructing tight linear programming relaxations of mixed discrete problems. A key construct is the multiplication of “product factors” of the discrete variables with problem constraints to form polynomial restrictions, which are subsequently linearized. For special problem forms, the structure of these linearized constraints tends to suggest that certain classes may be more beneficial than others. We examine the usefulness of subsets of constraints for a family of 0–1 quadratic multidimensional knapsack programs and perform extensive computational tests on a classical special case known as the 0–1 quadratic knapsack problem. We consider RLT forms both with and without these inequalities, and their comparisons with linearizations derived from published methods. Interestingly, the computational results depend in part upon the commercial software used. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2010

功能化离子液体的合成表征及其作为润滑剂的性质

通过两步法合成了含酯基官能团的咪唑类离子液体1-乙酸乙酯基-3-甲基咪唑四氟硼酸盐,用核磁共振、红外光谱、元素分析对其进行了结构表征,证明了该合成方法的可靠性;对功能化离子液体的基本物化性质、熔点、热稳定性及其作为润滑剂的粘温性、蒸发损失、金属腐蚀性等进行了全面研究,并选择了含有相同烷基的1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑四氟硼酸盐传统离子液体进行对比,发现官能团的引入,使传统烷基咪唑类离子液体展现出不同的特性,同时发现两种离子液体均对金属表面有较强的腐蚀作用,为进一步开展功能化离子液体的摩擦学研究打下了基础。     

What you should know about simulation and derivatives

Derivatives (or gradients) are important for both sensitivity analysis and optimization, and in simulation models, these can often be estimated efficiently using various methods other than brute‐force finite differences. This article briefly summarizes the main approaches and discusses areas in which the approaches can most fruitfully be applied: queueing, inventory, and finance. In finance, the focus is on derivatives of another sort. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2008
