Coincidence and reproducibility in the EHT black hole experiment

This paper discusses some philosophical aspects related to the recent publication of the experimental results of the 2017 black hole experiment, namely the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87. In this paper I present a philosophical analysis of the 2017 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) black hole experiment. I first present Hacking's philosophy of experimentation. Hacking gives his taxonomy of elements of laboratory science and distinguishes a list of elements. I show that the EHT experiment conforms to major elements from Hacking's list. I then describe with the help of Galison's Philosophy of the Shadow how the EHT Collaboration created the famous black hole image. Galison outlines three stages for the reconstruction of the black hole image: Socio-Epistemology, Mechanical Objectivity, after which there is an additional Socio-Epistemology stage. I subsequently present my own interpretation of the reconstruction of the black hole image and I discuss model fitting to data. I suggest that the main method used by the EHT Collaboration to assure trust in the results of the EHT experiment is what philosophers call the Argument from Coincidence. I show that using this method for the above purpose is problematic. I present two versions of the Argument from Coincidence: Hacking's Coincidence and Cartwright's Reproducibility by which I analyse the EHT experiment. The same estimation of the mass of the black hole is reproduced in four different procedures. The EHT Collaboration concludes: the value we have converged upon is robust. I analyse the mass measurements of the black hole with the help of Cartwright's notion of robustness. I show that the EHT Collaboration construe Coincidence/Reproducibility as Technological Agnosticism and I contrast this interpretation with van Fraassen's scientific agnosticism.     

矩阵力学与波动力学等价性证明的历史分析

矩阵力学和波动力学是量子力学的两种早期形态。前者由海森堡、约当、玻恩提出,后者由薛定谔提出。1926年,薛定谔给出二者之间等价性的证明。随后,泡利、狄拉克、约当、冯·诺伊曼等人或是为等价性证明给出新的版本,或是给出了间接的论证。这两种力学现在已被表述为海森堡绘景和薛定谔绘景,而数学家近来又从量子化问题出发对其等价性做出新的考察。本文对此历史过程进行回顾分析,以评估等价性问题对物理发展的意义。     

数控机床故障分析与可靠性评价技术的研究

针对传统数控机床可靠性建模时只考虑故障间隔时间而忽略故障性质的现象，提出兼顾机械故障和电气故障的混合威布尔分布模型，进而提高模型准确度.利用最大似然法来确定混合威布尔分布模型参数，用皮尔逊相关系数来确定数控机床各故障时间之间的关系.并通过K-S方法对模型进行检验， 最后确定其符合混合威布尔分布，并运用可靠性评定方法得出数控机床的平均无故障时间.     

桉树生态营林的理论探索与实践

桉树生态环境问题是世界性难题,迫切需要开展生态营林理论的探索与实践。本文通过系统地研究营林措施与人工林生态服务功能关系的变化规律,分析不同营林措施对桉树人工林生态服务功能的作用机制,并通过桉树生态营林实践,建立起现代桉树生态营林理论体系。文中提出生态营林的定义、生态营林原则和生态营林的理论体系。6年的生态营林实践表明,采取"低干扰、低投入、低污染"的生态营林方式,获得"高产量、高价值、高效率"的营林效果,实现长短结合、一般用材与珍贵用材结合、木材生产与生态服务协同提升的生态营林目标。该理论是解决当今桉树人工林木材生产和生态服务失衡以及生物安全、土壤安全、生态安全问题,实现高质量发展的重要理论基础,对推动我国现代林业高质量发展具有重要的指导作用。     

三目标优化:一种计算Pareto非劣解相对于各优化目标偏向度及其进一步分析的方法

考虑到理性决策者通常以获得高性价比结果为最佳选择,本文基于求解三目标优化问题得到的Pareto非劣解进一步分析.以"性价比"概念为基础,建立了Pareto前沿各点排序的基本规则,定义了相邻点概念,并明确了相邻点选择的方法.根据Pareto前沿各点与其相邻点的分布特点,计算得到了Pareto前沿各点的变化率;设计了灵敏比概念,得到了各Pareto非劣解相对各优化目标的偏向程度.本文的创新性贡献有3点:①利用三目标Pareto前沿灵敏比形成的新支配关系,进一步得到了比Pareto非劣解集范围更小的子集;②首次量化出三目标优化问题的Pareto非劣解相对于各优化目标的偏向度;③给出了各Pareto非劣解偏向于各优化目标的不平衡度,得到了不平衡度最小的解.最后,通过具体算例演示了上述计算过程,并与多种常用方法的计算结果进行了对比分析,验证了文中所述方法的可行性和有效性.本文研究成果对于进一步认识Pareto非劣解所具有的重要特性,深化三目标优化问题的求解是一次重要的理论推进.     

The total cost of misclassification in credit scoring: A comparison of generalized linear models and generalized additive models

This study examines whether the evaluation of a bankruptcy prediction model should take into account the total cost of misclassification. For this purpose, we introduce and apply a validity measure in credit scoring that is based on the total cost of misclassification. Specifically, we use comprehensive data from the annual financial statements of a sample of German companies and analyze the total cost of misclassification by comparing a generalized linear model and a generalized additive model with regard to their ability to predict a company's probability of default. On the basis of these data, the validity measure we introduce shows that, compared to generalized linear models, generalized additive models can reduce substantially the extent of misclassification and the total cost that this entails. The validity measure we introduce is informative and justifies the argument that generalized additive models should be preferred, although such models are more complex than generalized linear models. We conclude that to balance a model's validity and complexity, it is necessary to take into account the total cost of misclassification.

高等职业教育产教融合政策工具 分类及优化路径--基于2010—2019年国家政策文本的量化分析

产教融合是现代职业教育体系构建的重要内容,政府应采取有效的政策工具加以推进。基于政策工具分类视角,将我国国家层面颁布的高等职业教育产教融合政策划分为供给面、需求面和环境面3类政策工具。通过对2010—2019年69份313条政策文本的量化分析,可视化展示3类政策工具占比情况。结果显示:供给面政策工具占据主导地位,需求面政策工具功能彰显,环境面政策工具作用稳定,但也存在供给面政策工具投入长、压力大,需求面政策工具引导多、示范少,环境面政策工具执行力不足、落地难等问题。“十四五”时期,需要以精准改革为核心完善供给面政策工具,借助其示范性引领作用促进产教双方深度融合,打破组织性壁垒,加大环境面政策执行力度。
