Client‐contractor bargaining on net present value in project scheduling with limited resources

The client‐contractor bargaining problem addressed here is in the context of a multi‐mode resource constrained project scheduling problem with discounted cash flows, which is formulated as a progress payments model. In this model, the contractor receives payments from the client at predetermined regular time intervals. The last payment is paid at the first predetermined payment point right after project completion. The second payment model considered in this paper is the one with payments at activity completions. The project is represented on an Activity‐on‐Node (AON) project network. Activity durations are assumed to be deterministic. The project duration is bounded from above by a deadline imposed by the client, which constitutes a hard constraint. The bargaining objective is to maximize the bargaining objective function comprised of the objectives of both the client and the contractor. The bargaining objective function is expected to reflect the two‐party nature of the problem environment and seeks a compromise between the client and the contractor. The bargaining power concept is introduced into the problem by the bargaining power weights used in the bargaining objective function. Simulated annealing algorithm and genetic algorithm approaches are proposed as solution procedures. The proposed solution methods are tested with respect to solution quality and solution times. Sensitivity analyses are conducted among different parameters used in the model, namely the profit margin, the discount rate, and the bargaining power weights. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A search game taking account of attributes of searching resources

This article deals with a two‐person zero‐sum game called a search allocation game (SAG), in which a searcher and a target participate as players. The searcher distributes his searching resources in a search space to detect the target. The effect of resources lasts a certain period of time and extends to some areas at a distance from the resources' dropped points. On the other hand, the target moves around in the search space to evade the searcher. In the history of search games, there has been little research covering the durability and reachability of searching resources. This article proposes two linear programming formulations to solve the SAG with durable and reachable resources, and at the same time provide an optimal strategy of distributing searching resources for the searcher and an optimal moving strategy for the target. Using examples, we will analyze the influences of two attributes of resources on optimal strategies. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 2008

材料色散对全固态带隙光纤带内色散的影响

全固态光子带隙光纤已开始用于产生超连续谱,其带隙效应可以控制超连续谱的范围,但是带内的色散特性对于超连续谱的产生有着重要的影响.采用平面波法计算了同一带隙光纤不同阶带隙内的色散曲线和不同带隙光纤同阶带隙内的色散曲线,零色散波长在带内相对位置与带隙位置密切相关,在长波长区域,零色散点位于带隙的短波边;在短波区域,零色散点...     

基因表达缺失值的加权回归估计算法

在基因芯片实验中,数据缺失客观存在,并在一定程度上影响芯片数据后续分析结果的准确性。在不增加实验次数的情况下,缺失值估计是降低缺失数据对后续分析影响的有效方法。利用相似性信息的核加权函数来实现缺失值回归估计的局部化,提出了基于加权回归估计的基因表达缺失值估计算法。在两个不同类型的基因芯片数据上,将新方法与几种已知的方法进行了比较分析。实验结果表明,新的估计算法具有比传统缺失值估计算法更好的稳定性和估计准确度。     

刑罚轻缓化之理性思考

刑罚轻缓化是当今世界发展的潮流,但我国由于历来受传统重刑思想影响,对刑罚轻缓化思想是排斥的。要改变这种状况,就要对刑罚轻缓化的基本理论进行研究,以使我国的领导层和普通大众对刑罚轻缓化有一个理性的认识,改变我国的重刑刑罚结构和法官量刑偏重的重刑情结,接受刑罚轻缓化思想,以顺应世界发展趋势。     

论心理健康教育的人本价值

心理健康教育无疑具有重要的人本价值。从历史发展看,心理健康教育就是沿着以人为本的方向演进;人作为心理健康教育价值的承载者,其心理的复杂性决定着心理健康教育的人本向度;心理健康教育的人本价值则体现在从个体全面发展到民族素质的综合提高上;只有树立起以人为本的心理健康教育观,方能真正实现其人本价值。     

构建和谐社会之法律思想透析

实现社会和谐始终是人类追求的一个社会理想,只是因为社会历史的不同,和谐社会思想所包含的要义以及所追求的目标也随之有所差异。但法之于和谐社会具有重要价值却是绝大多数法哲学家所认同的,即构建和谐社会离不开法律保障之基石。从中西方法律思想以及可持续发展观角度层层递进,对构建和谐社会之合理性、时代性、先导性以及法之于和谐社会的重要价值进行探讨与思索。     

基于D-S证据理论的炮兵战场目标价值分析*

针对如何依据目标情报资料和作战任务需要合理评估战场目标的价值,选择需要射击的目标和确定优先顺序,建立了战场目标价值评价体系,提出了一种运用D-S证据推理理论对炮兵战场目标价值进行分析的新途径,该方法运用D-S证据组合公式对目标繁杂、不确定信息的融合,能够很好地消除目标信息的不确定性,从而将具有主观不确定性信息的目标价值分析问题转化为普通的确定性决策问题。通过实例证明了方法的有效性。
