Bedeviled by a Paradox: Nitze,Bundy, and an Incipient Nuclear Norm

ABSTRACT

This article explores how two influential American policy makers—Paul Nitze and McGeorge Bundy—wrestled with the idea of a norm against the use of nuclear weapons. Existing scholarship has overlooked how both Bundy and Nitze came to understand the idea of nuclear non-use, especially related to the credibility of threats to use nuclear weapons. Using documentary evidence from their personal papers, this article illuminates the thinking of Bundy and Nitze, finding that both engaged with the idea of a norm of non-use of nuclear weapons in their strategic writing and thought.     

基于删除平均的VI-CFAR检测器

针对MLVI-CFAR检测器在多个随机分布干扰目标背景下检测性能不好,以及OSVI-CFAR检测器在均匀环境和仅单滑窗存在干扰目标的环境下检测性能欠佳问题,提出了一种基于删除平均(CML)的VI-CFAR检测器(CMLVI-CFAR).仿真验证了CMLVI-CFAR检测器在均匀背景及多目标干扰环境下,都具有比MLVI和OSVI-CFAR检测器好的检测性能,并且其在杂波边缘背景下的虚警控制能力与前两者也基本一致,说明其在实际杂波环境中具有更强的鲁棒性和良好的应用潜力.     

FBN和JF402在泡沫洗消剂中的展开作用及其对泡沫性能的影响

研究了FBN、JF402 2种碳氟表面活性剂与发泡剂配伍后形成的水溶液在油面上的铺展及泡沫性能（发泡力和稳定性）。结果表明FBN、JF402的加入可提高体系的铺展能力。FBN的铺展性能好于JF402,但JF402泡沫性能好于FBN。     

绝热稳定性研究成果在工业企业防火教学中的应用

公安部科研项目“反应性物质热稳定性的分级方法研究”在国内首次利用绝热加速量热法系统研究了反应性物质的热稳定性。该项目研究成果在物质与生产火灾危险性辨识、火灾原因调查与分析等方面具有现实指导意义。在《工业企业防火》课程教学过程中,部分项目研究成果纳入了“影响储存和生产火灾危险性的因素”、“危险化学品的危险特性”“仓库防火”以及“重大危险源辨识”等章节的教学内容,使学生对课程内容有了更为深入地理解。科研成果与教学内容的有机结合,既显著提高了学生的学习主动性和学习兴趣,又大大增强了学生的创新性意识。     

Inventory control and periodic price discounting campaigns

This paper develops an inventory model that determines replenishment strategies for buyers facing situations in which sellers offer price‐discounting campaigns at random times as a way to drive sales or clear excess inventory. Specifically, the model deals with the inventory of a single item that is maintained to meet a constant demand over time. The item can be purchased at two different prices denoted high and low. We assume that the low price goes into effect at random points in time following an exponential distribution and lasts for a random length of time following another exponential distribution. We highlight a replenishment strategy that will lead to the lowest inventory holding and ordering costs possible. This strategy is to replenish inventory only when current levels are below a certain threshold when the low price is offered and the replenishment is to a higher order‐up‐to level than the one currently in use when inventory depletes to zero and the price is high. Our analysis provides new insight into the behavior of the optimal replenishment strategy in response to changes in the ratio of purchase prices together with changes in the ratio of the duration of a low‐price period to that of a high‐price period. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于凸-改进遗传算法的圆阵列方向图联合优化

针对圆形阵列方向图具有较高旁瓣的问题,提出一种新的基于凸优化和改进遗传算法的优化方法。该方法首先采用遗传算法将阵元位置和阵元权值作为优化变量,以最小化波束方向图峰值旁瓣为目标函数进行联合优化,既增加了变量的自由度,又符合理论意义上的全局寻优;同时,为了避免算法的早熟收敛,对基本遗传算法进行了必要的改进。然后采用凸优化方法对阵元权值进行二次优化可进一步降低旁瓣电平,与传统方法相比能够明显提高优化效果的稳定性。仿真数据证实了该方法的有效性和正确性。     

Huber加权的频率稳定度非相关差分抗差估计方法

计算原子钟频率稳定度时,钟差观测异常会导致Allan方差出现较大的估计偏差。建立Allan方差的差分估计模型,根据钟差的差分序列统计特性分析了相关差分估计的噪声识别与白化等计算复杂度问题;针对上述难点提出一种基于Huber权函数的非相关差分抗差估计方法,建立一种非相关差分序列的构造方法,有效避免了复杂的噪声识别及白化计算;给出Allan方差的非相关差分抗差估计的推导,并对抗差过程引入的误差累积给出了一种抵消方法;给出完整的抗差估计方案,并利用实测数据进行了实验验证。实验结果表明本方法对相位单点跳变、相位阶跃跳变具有显著的抗差能力,抗差估计可使异常引入的相对偏差由近200%降至10%以内。

The Requirements of Nuclear Stability in South Asia

While recent history arguably demonstrates a high level of nuclear stability in South Asia, this article argues that this stability has historically been a function of India's relative weakness. It argues that, as India becomes stronger, attention must be paid to the technical and political requirements of nuclear stability: the reliability of weapons and command and control and the political conditions that underpin stable relations between nuclear-armed states. It concludes by recommending the United States aim to modify the perceptions of regional elites about their various intentions and decision-making processes and the role of the United States as crisis manager.     

China's Nuclear Forces and Their Significance to India

The Indian nuclear program is a response to a perceived politico-strategic threat from China as opposed to a military-operational one that New Delhi began after perceiving an “ultimatum” from China in 1965. Consequently, India is in the process of acquiring an assured second-strike capability vis-à-vis China to meet the requirements of general deterrence. While India has always been concerned about the Sino-Pakistani nuclear/missile nexus, China has become wary of the growing military ties between the United States and India in recent years, especially because of the military implications of the US-India civil nuclear deal. Given the growing conventional military gap between the two states, India is not lowering its nuclear threshold to meet the Chinese conventional challenge. Instead, India is upgrading its conventional military strategy from dissuasion to deterrence against China. While the overall Sino-Indian nuclear relationship is stable, it will be challenged as China acquires advanced conventional weapons that blur the distinction between conventional and nuclear conflict.
