The Bargaining Problem paradigm is extended to time-consuming conflict situations. Such a situation can be represented by a chain of bargaining domains, each representing the conflict at a different point in time. The solution function selects a point in the union of all these domains. We characterize a solution function which satisfies several requirements and explore its properties. One of the results is that an extension of the Adding requirement (Thomson-Myerson 1980) is enough, under some conditions, to yield a solution point, so there is no need to extend the stronger requirements of Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (Nash 1950) or Monotonicity (Kalai-Smorodinsky 1975). 相似文献
A model for the flow of a fluid through a channel with parallel plates is investigated. The channel is narrow, so that the lubrication approximation may be applied. The channel walls are maintained at a constant temperature. Shear heating effects are included and the fluid viscosity decreases exponentially with temperature. When the flow is driven solely by shear stress or imposed velocity at the top, analytical progress is possible. When pressure gradient also drives the flow the problem is solved numerically. 相似文献
In this paper we propose a general integration scheme for a Multi-Criteria Decision Making model of the Multi-Attribute Utility
Theory in Constraint Programming. We introduce the Choquet integral as a general aggregation function for multi-criteria optimization
problems and define the Choquet global constraint that propagates this function during the Branch-and-Bound search. Finally the benefits of the propagation
of the Choquet constraint are evaluated on the examination timetabling problem. 相似文献
Cancer immunotherapy aims at stimulating the immune system to react against cancer stealth capabilities. It consists of repeatedly injecting small doses of a tumor-associated molecule one wants the immune system to recognize, until a consistent immune response directed against the tumor cells is observed.
We have applied the theory of optimal control to the problem of finding the optimal schedule of injections of an immunotherapeutic agent against cancer. The method employed works for a general ODE system and can be applied to find the optimal protocol in a variety of clinical problems where the kinetics of the drug or treatment and its influence on the normal physiologic functions have been described by a mathematical model.
We show that the choice of the cost function has dramatic effects on the kind of solution the optimization algorithm is able to find. This provides evidence that a careful ODE model and optimization schema must be designed by mathematicians and clinicians using their proper different perspectives. 相似文献
[Theg-factor ratio of the first excited 3? and 5? states in40Ca was measured to beg3/g5=1.01(10) employing the implantation perturbed angular correlation technique. The static hyperfine fields (SF) in Fe and Gd hosts were used. In addition the lifetime of the 5? state was measured to be τ=426(7)ps. The values of the SF in Gd and Fe hosts were deduced and compared with systematics in this element region. 相似文献
The universal condition for the formation of omnidirectional band gaps (OBG) in photonic crystal (PC) was derived with consideration
of permeability of the materials. And it was found that there are four kinds of PCs: one of them has no OBG, and one always
possesses OBG. For the other two kinds of PCs, there are OBG for only TM or TE waves respectively. Moreover, in all PCs, the
OBG can be broadened by decreasing the refractive index of the ambient medium or/and increasing the contrast between the wave
impedances of the component materials of the PC.

An anomalous modulation in the wavelength spectrum has been observed in lasers with spot-size converters. This intensity modulation is shown to be caused by beating between the fundamental lasing mode and radiation modes in the taper. This results in a periodic modulation in the net gain spectrum, which causes wavelength jumps between adjacent net gain maxima, and a drive current dependent spectral width that is expected to affect system performance. The amplitude of this spectral modulation is reduced significantly by either using an angled rear-facet which reflects the beating radiation modes away from the laser axis, or by using a nonlinear, adiabatic taper. 相似文献
Tailored scaling represents a principle of success that, both in nature and in technology, allows the effectiveness of physical
effects to be enhanced. Mutation and selection in nature are imitated in technology, e.g. by model calculation and design.
Proper scaling of dimensions in natural photonic crystals and our fabricated artificial 1D photonic crystals (DBRs, distributed
Bragg reflectors) enable efficient diffractive interaction in a specific spectral range. For our optical microsystems we illustrate
that tailored miniaturization may also increase the mechanical stability and the effectiveness of spectral tuning by thermal
and electrostatic actuation, since the relative significance of the fundamental physical forces involved considerably changes
with scaling. These basic physical principles are rigorously applied in micromachined 1.55-μm vertical-resonator-based devices.
We modeled, implemented and characterized 1.55-μm micromachined optical filters and vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser
devices capable of wide, monotonic and kink-free tuning by a single control parameter. Tuning is achieved by mechanical actuation
of one or several air-gaps that are part of the vertical resonator including two ultra-highly reflective DBR mirrors of strong
refractive index contrast: (i) Δn=2.17 for InP/air-gap DBRs (3.5 periods) using GaInAs sacrificial layers and (ii) Δn=0.5
for Si3N4/SiO2 DBRs (12 periods) with a polymer sacrificial layer to implement the air-cavity. In semiconductor multiple air-gap filters,
a continuous tuning of >8% of the absolute wavelength is obtained. Varying the reverse voltage (U=0–5 V) between the membranes
(electrostatic actuation), a tuning range of >110 nm was obtained for a large number of devices. The correlation of the wavelength
and the applied voltage is accurately reproducible without any hysteresis. In two filters, tuning of 127 and 130 nm was observed
for about ΔU=7 V. The extremely wide tuning range and the very small voltage required are record values to the best of our
knowledge. For thermally actuated dielectric filters based on polymer sacrificial layers, Δλ/ΔU=-7 nm/V is found.

Purely antiferromagnetic intrinsic oscillations of magnetic ions in a tetragonal ferrimagnet are considered. The magnetic ions occupy two double positions (forming four magnetic sublattices) so that the center of symmetry for each position is not a closed element. Not involving the total magnetization vector, the oscillations are not excited by the magnetic field; however, the oscillations can be excited by an alternating electric field or by a combination of a constant electric field and the alternating magnetic field of a certain frequency. This phenomenon is a dynamic manifestation of the magnetoelectric interaction. These oscillations, representing a new special type of spin waves (magnons), were called antimagnons. The intrinsic frequencies of antimagnons, as well as the corresponding susceptibilities, were determined. Quantitative estimates were obtained for a Mn2Sb-based ferrimagnetic phase in both easy-axis and easy-plane orientation states. 相似文献
