Interactive Compromise Programming

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a solution method for multiple objective linear programming (MOLP) problems. The method, called interactive compromise programming (ICP), offers a practical solution to MOLP problems by combining judgement with an automatic optimization technique in decision-making. This is realised by using the method of compromise programming and the method of a two-person zero-sum game in an iterative way. The method is illustrated by a numerical example.     

Cost Comparisons for Out-of-Phase Inventory Models

Inventory costs for a fixed time period have traditionally been determined by allocating total costs per cycle uniformly throughout that cycle as well as any partial cycles. This procedure for cost allocation has led to the solution of numerous inventory problems, most notable of which is the anticipated price-increase model. When comparing two out-of-phase inventory models, if costs are accounted for when they occur over a fixed planning horizon, inventory policies should be changed to reflect the impact of this different cost-allocation procedure. For the anticipated price-increase model, the ‘optimal’ order quantity as well as the implied savings in inventory costs will be different when cost models are developed based on these different cost-allocation methods. If the objective is to maximize over a fixed planning horizon the actual savings in inventory costs as they occur, the cost models presented here should be used.     

Combined Routeing and Scheduling for the Transportation of Containerized Cargo

A tractor-trailer problem, with full load, from the class of combined routeing and scheduling problems is described. Distinctive features of the problem are: movements must be carried out within certain time windows; subsets of movements are linked in the sense that they must be executed in a certain order; and different priorities are attached to different movements. A new bidirectional sequential constructive heuristic is developed for the solution of this problem. The method constructs routes and schedules for the available tractor fleet. The algorithm attempts to minimize the total time for all the movements by minimizing the time taken up by unproductive movements (so-called deadhead) and waiting time between movements. Some practical aspects of the implementation of the approach are discussed.     

D-optimality andD n -optimal designs for mixtures regression models with logarithmic terms

In this paper the authors put forward a new mixtures regression models with Logarithmic terms^[14] to generalize Draper's models^{[1, 2 or 6]} by using Kiefer-Wolfowitz's equivalence theorem^[3], Fedorov's and Wynn's method^[5]. And we also suggest a method for computer-aided design of combinatorial search^[13].In this study, we have proved and constructed the approximateD-optimal (measure) andD _n -optimal (exact) designs by the use of the first and second order mixtures regression models with logarithmic terms in three and four components.Projects Supported by the Science Fund of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

不同声音偏好的游客声景观主观评价差异——以丽江大研古镇为例

古镇作为集自然景观与人文景观一体的景区,具有丰富的声音类型。本研究以大研古镇为例,通过实地调研探究不同声音偏好的游客对古镇声景观的主观评价差异。基于游客的声音偏好,将游客分为偏爱自然声和偏爱人工声两大类。通过因子分析提取游客声景观主观评价的5个主因子:大小、音质、效价、偏好和唤醒。进一步分析发现,这5个因子具有一定的层级性,其中从大小到唤醒代表声景观评价从声音的物理属性向声音的联想评价逐级提升。其中在低层级评价(大小、音质)中,偏好自然声的游客和偏好人工声的游客无显著差异,低层级评价具有稳定性;而在高层级评价(效价、偏好、唤醒)中,偏好人工声的游客更关注古镇声景观的淳朴性和遗产性。因此,游客对声景观的主观评价可视为一种指标,判断景区声景所处的评价阶段,从而为景区声景观改善提供更有针对性的建议。     

利用可见-近红外-中红外超快光谱揭示离子交换法制备的少层MoS2中缺陷介导的载流子动力学

本文结合可见-近红外-中红外瞬态吸收光谱技术对离子交换法制备的少层MoS₂中缺陷介导的载流子动力学进行了详细的解析. 在近红外瞬态吸收光谱中观察到的宽带漂白信号表明少层MoS₂纳米片带隙中分布着大量的缺陷态. 实验结果明确揭示了载流子被缺陷态的快速捕获以及进一步的复合过程,证明带隙中的缺陷态对MoS₂光生载流子动力学过程起着至关重要的作用. 在中红外瞬态吸收光谱中观察到的正信号到负信号的转变进一步证实了在导带下小于0.24 eV处存在被载流子占据的缺陷态. 这些在少层MoS₂纳米片中存在的缺陷态可以作为有效的载流子捕获中心来辅助光生载流子在皮秒时间尺度内完成非辐射复合过程.     

An investigation of paddle wheel Cu2(μ2-O2CCH3)4 for gas molecule adsorptions

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been well-known and extensively researched due to the high storage /good selectivity for gas molecules. Herein, the structures and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra for dicopper paddle wheel MOF compound (Cu₂(µ₂-O₂CCH₃)₄ with various gas molecule are theoretically investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption energies and isotherms (including pure gas molecules and the mixed ones) are calculated for the gas molecules interacting with the unsaturated Cu₂(µ₂-O₂CCH₃)₄. Both quantities exhibit the roughly consistent orders (e.g. H₂S?>?NH₃?>?CO₂?>?CO?>?H₂O?>?N₂?>?NO?>?H₂ for isotherms and H₂S?>?NH₃?>?N₂?>?CO₂?>?NO?>?H₂O?>?H₂?>?CO for adsorption energies), possibly suggesting that this material may act as a potential adsorbent of these gas molecules. The catalytic property of Cu₂(µ₂-O₂CCH₃)₄ for oxidation of CO and NO into non-toxic molecules and splitting of H₂O into H₂ and O₂ in the solvent condition are uniformly discussed. Simulation of Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) in MS 8.0 and calculations in Langmuir model reveal that Cu₂(µ₂-O₂CCH₃)₄ has good selectivity for CH₄ in natural gas (CH₄/CO₂/N₂) and SO₂ in fog (SO₂/NO/NO₂/H₂O/O₂), which would exhibit potential environmentally friendly applications.
