An Economic Model-Based Matching Approach Between Buyers and Sellers Through a Broker in an Open E-Marketplace

A broker in an open e-marketplace enables buyers and sellers to do business with each other. Although a broker plays an important role in e-marketplaces, theory and guidelines for matching between buyers and sellers in multi-attribute exchanges are limited. Therefore, a challenge for a broker’s responsibility is how to maximize a buyer’s total satisfaction degree as its goals under the consideration of trade-off between a buyer’s buying quantity and price paid to a seller, and other attributes. To solve this challenge, this paper proposes an economic model-based matching approach between a buyer’s requirements and a seller’s offers. The major contributions of this paper are that (i) a broker can model a seller’s price policy as per a buyer’s buying quantity through communication between a broker and a seller; (ii) due to each buyer’s different quantity demand, a broker models a buyer’s satisfaction degree as per a buyer’s buying quantity based on communication between a broker and a buyer; and (iii) to carry out a broker’s matching processes, an objective function and a set of constraints are generated to help a broker to maximize a buyer’s total satisfaction degree. Experimental results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed approach.     

基于数据场联合PRI变换与聚类的雷达信号分选

基于脉冲描述字进行雷达信号分选时,传统聚类算法需要预先人工设定聚类中心和聚类数目。针对该问题,提出一种基于数据场理论联合脉冲重复间隔(pulse repetition interval,PRI)变换与聚类的雷达信号分选新方法。首先,依据数据场理论,基于势值大小实现干扰点剔除,而后利用PRI变换算法进行PRI估计,依据PRI估计值将归一化脉冲描述字数据预分类,进而以各类数据集中心间的欧氏距离小于辐射因子为准则进行类别合并,自动得到初始聚类中心和聚类数目,最后通过改进K-Means算法完成聚类分选。仿真实验表明:所提方法能够应对存在频率捷变,重频参差、抖动、参数交叠、局部脉冲丢失的复杂信号环境,分选正确率明显提升。     

Study on the Centralization Strategy of the Blood Allocation Among Different Departments within a Hospital

By far, the researches on how to distribute blood products among different departments in hospital have not been further studied, though the problem of blood shortage and wastage that caused by improper blood allocation is severe, which may endanger patient’s lives and impose considerable costs on hospitals. In order to solve this problem, this paper mainly studies on how to distribute the blood items among different departments within a hospital and investigates the allocation approach with the novel management method by centralizing the inventory of several different departments. By integrating the blood inventory requirements of some departments, the hospital could reduce the rate of blood shortage and wastage effectively, release the pressure of the occupancy of resources and reduce the bullwhip effect of blood products. This paper illustrates the centralization principle in hospital and formulates the mixed integer programming model to work out the optimal allocation network scheme and the optimal inventory setting for every department. And the results of the numerical example demonstrate that this centralization method could considerably reduce blood shortage and wastage in hospital by about 72% and 90% respectively. Furthermore, it could decrease the total cost by about 108,540 RMB a month on blood supply chain management in the hospital and improve the effect of some certain surgeries by transfusing the fresh blood to patients.     

Effects of Strain Rate,Temperature and Grain Size on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure Evolutions of Polycrystalline Nickel Nanowires: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Through molecular dynamics(MD)simulation,the dependencies of temperature,grain size and strain rate on the mechanical properties were studied.The simulation results demonstrated that the strain rate from 0.05 to 2 ns~(–1 )affected the Young’s modulus of nickel nanowires slightly,whereas the yield stress increased.The Young’s modulus decreased approximately linearly;however,the yield stress firstly increased and subsequently dropped as the temperature increased.The Young’s modulus and yield stress increased as the mean grain size increased from 2.66 to6.72 nm.Moreover,certain efforts have been made in the microstructure evolution with mechanical properties association under uniaxial tension.Certain phenomena such as the formation of twin structures,which were found in nanowires with larger grain size at higher strain rate and lower temperature,as well as the movement of grain boundaries and dislocation,were detected and discussed in detail.The results demonstrated that the plastic deformation was mainly accommodated by the motion of grain boundaries for smaller grain size.However,for larger grain size,the formations of stacking faults and twins were the main mechanisms of plastic deformation in the polycrystalline nickel nanowire.

随着雷达技术的快速发展,低信噪比(signal-to-noise ratio, SNR)条件下的雷达目标信号提取越来越重要。传统的脉冲压缩算法在低SNR条件下作用不明显。提出了一种新的在低SNR条件下的雷达目标回波信号提取算法。该算法在传统脉冲压缩算法的基础之上,采用小波变换对脉冲压缩后的信号进行分解,提取信号高频信息的小波系数。再用改进的小波变换模极大值算法对信号的高频信息进行去噪,然后重构信号的高频信息,最后再重构完整的雷达目标回波信号。仿真结果表明,该算法能够有效地去除噪声,提取出雷达目标的回波信号,相比于脉冲压缩算法及其他算法性能得到了很大的提升。     

部件寿命服从威布尔分布时典型系统的寿命与剩余寿命估计

在实际工程中,对系统寿命以及剩余寿命的估计非常重要。在已知系统中部件寿命与可靠度的前提下,关于如何快速得到系统级寿命与剩余寿命的相关研究比较缺乏。针对这一问题,首先研究了可靠度、寿命以及剩余寿命的关系,进一步假设部件寿命服从同一威布尔分布,根据部件的寿命与可靠度函数,推导得到串联、并联和表决系统寿命与剩余寿命期望的封闭表达式,并给出了相应的计算方法。对于冷备系统,当部件寿命服从同一指数分布时,推得了系统寿命及剩余寿命期望的封闭表达式,而当部件寿命服从同一威布尔分布时,给出了系统寿命与剩余寿命的数值计算方法。仿真试验证明本文所提出的方法是准确高效的。最后,以卫星中的动量轮r/n(G)表决系统为例开展了实例研究,证明了该方法在工程实践中的有效性。     

Fuzzy Views on Black-Litterman Portfolio Selection Model

In this paper, views of investor are described in fuzzy sets, and two fuzzy Black-Litterman models are constructed with fuzzy views and fuzzy random views respectively. In the models, expected returns and uncertainty matrix of views are redefined and the views are formulated by fuzzy approaches suitably. Then the models are tested with data from Chinese financial markets. Empirical results show that the fuzzy random views model performs the best, and both the fuzzy models are better than the traditional ones, demonstrating that the fuzzy approaches can contain more information in the views and measure the uncertainty more correctly.
