Technical Notes ：STUDIES ON THE VALUE OF SECONDARY MARKET TO THE SUPPLY CHAIN

This paper investigates the impact of a secondary market, where retailers can buy and sell excessinventories, on the supply chain. We develop a two-period model with a single manufacturer and tworetailers. At the beginning of the first period the retailers order and receive products from themanufacturer, but at the beginning of the second period, they can trade surplus products betweenthemselves in the secondary market. We investigate the impact of the correlated dependence ofretailers' demand on both the quantity effect and the allocation effect under the secondary market.Lastly,we study potential strategies for the manufacturer to increase sales with the existence of thesecondary market.     

防治心脏病的好消息

位于旧金山的加州大学医学院和太平洋长老会医疗中心一位说话温和的年轻研究员迪安·奥尼什医生(Dean Ornish)曾征集过心脏病患者实验一种治疗心脏病的新方法。更新的,不那样激烈的医疗技术也一点没能改变奥尼什的想法。冠状血管成形术中用气胀导管在阻塞的动脉中充气来把血管冲开.“但用同样方法疏通的第三条冠状动脉6个月后又阻塞了.”奥尼什指出。另一种决择,即用降胆固醇药物,虽然对有些病例有效,但是代价昂贵。用这类药物可增加患者的存活机会,但这些药物对有些人可能有副作用. “用这些处置方法,”奥尼什说,“我们经常是解决一些问题又引出另一些问题。我想从心脏病的成因上来解决问题。     

IS γα≤δ FOR GRAPHS WHICH HAVE DIAMETER TWO?

A subset of S of the vertex set of a graph G is called acyclic if the subgraph it induces in G contains no cycles. S is called an acyclic dominating set of G if it. is both acyclic and dominating. The minimum cardinality of an acyclic dominating set, denoted by 7a(G), is called the acyclic domination number of G. S. M. Hedetniemi et al. on 2000 introduced the concept of acyclic domination and posed the following open problem: Is -ya(G) < <5(G) for any graph whose diameter is two? In this paper, we give a counterexample which disproves the problem.     

FROM MANUFACTURING SCHEDULING TO SUPPLY CHAIN COORDINATION：THE CONTROL OF COMPLEXITY AND UNCERTAINTY

With time-based competition and rapid technology advancements, effective manufacturingscheduling and supply chain coordination are critical to quickly respond to changing marketconditions. These problems, however, are difficult in view of inherent complexity and variousuncertainties involved. Based on a series of results by the authors, decomposition and coordination byusing Lagrangian relaxation is identified in this paper as an effective way to control complexity anduncertainty.A manufacturing scheduling problem is first formulated within the job shop context withuncertain order arrivals, processing times, due dates, and part priorities as a separable optimizationproblem. A solution methodology that combines Lagrangian relaxation, stochastic dynamicprogramming, and heuristics is developed. Method improvements to effectively solve large problemsare also highlighted. To extend manufacturing scheduling within a factory to coordinate autonomicmembers across chains of suppliers, a decentralized supply chai     

Radar Imaging Based on Iterative Algorithms

It has long been realized that the problem of radar imaging is a special case of image reconstruction in which the data are incomplete and noisy. In other fields, iterative reconstruction algorithms have been used successfully to improve the image quality. This paper studies the application of iterative algorithms in radar imaging. A discrete model is first derived, and the iterative algorithms are then adapted to radar imaging. Although such algorithms are usually time consuming, this paper shows that, if the algorithms are appropriately simplified, it is possible to realize them even in real time. The efficiency of iterative algorithms is shown through computer simulations.

Researching on quadrature conversion structures For an UWB demonstrative receiver

1. INTRODUCTION As the development of technologies of digital signal processing and integrated circuits, the structure of wireless communication system has been improved. Many schemes for software defined radio (SDR) systems have been developed since 1995, and they can be divided into five tiers of solutions according to their developing history and their definitions[1]. The five tiers are conventional hardware-implemented scheme; software-controlled radio scheme; SDR, that implements m…     

Parity Nonconservation in of Multiply Dielectronic Recombination Charged Ions

A parity nonconserving （PNC） asymmetry in the cross section for dielectronic recombination of polarized electrons on multiply charged ions with Z≥40 is discussed. This effect is strongly enhanced for close doubly-excited states of opposite parity in the intermediate compound ion. Such states are known for He-like ions. However, these levels have large energy and large radiative widths which hampers observation of the PNC asymmetry. We argue that accidentally degenerate states of more complex ions may be more suitable for the coresponding experiment.     

Self-assembling Characteristics of Amphiphilic Star Block Copolymers with a Polyelectrolyte Shell

1 Results Amphiphilic block copolymers are capable of forming supramolecular assemblies resembling those observed in nature,such as spherical micelles,worm micelles,and vesicles.Changing the solvent composition,ionic strength or pH of the polymer solution may induce the self-assembly of block copolymers or trigger the transition between the geometries of noncovalent assemblies.In the current work,we have synthesised starlike amphiphilic block copolymers having hydrophobic poly(methyl methacrylate),PMMA,core,and hydrophilic poly(acrylic acid),PAA,shell.The self-assembling characteristics of these polymers have been investigated in aqueous solutions by light scattering and direct visualisation by cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryoTEM)[1]. Computer simulations along with the theoretical predictions made for the star-like system based on mean-field theory have been used to support the experimental observations[2]. The association of the starlike macromolecules resembles that of charged biopolymers,such as actin,since a balance between attractive and repulsive forces is required for the formation of cylindrical assemblies and can be manipulated by changing the pH or the ionic strength of the solvent[3].
