Network DEA approach to airports performance assessment considering undesirable outputs

In this paper, a directional distance approach is proposed to deal with network DEA problems in which the processes may generate not only desirable final outputs but also undesirable outputs. The proposed approach is applied to the problem of modelling and benchmarking airport operations. The corresponding network DEA model considers two process (Aircraft Movement and Aircraft Loading) with two final outputs (Annual Passenger Movement and Annual Cargo handled), one intermediate product (Aircraft Traffic Movements) and two undesirable outputs (Number of Delayed Flights and Accumulated Flight Delays). The proposed approach has been applied to Spanish airports data for year 2008 comparing the computed directional distance efficiency scores with those obtained using a conventional, single-process directional distance function approach. From this comparison, it can be concluded that the proposed network DEA approach has more discriminatory power than its single-process counterpart, uncovering more inefficiencies and providing more valid results.     

Initial classification of joint data in EM estimation of latent class joint model

The latent class mixture-of-experts joint model is one of the important methods for jointly modelling longitudinal and recurrent events data when the underlying population is heterogeneous and there are nonnormally distributed outcomes. The maximum likelihood estimates of parameters in latent class joint model are generally obtained by the EM algorithm. The joint distances between subjects and initial classification of subjects under study are essential to finding good starting values of the EM algorithm through formulas. In this article, separate distances and joint distances of longitudinal markers and recurrent events are proposed for classification purposes, and performance of the initial classifications based on the proposed distances and random classification are compared in a simulation study and demonstrated in an example.     

基站电磁环境测试方法的比较与分析

GSM移动通信基站电磁辐射测量常用的方法有两种,一种是用频谱分析仪和定向天线进行测量,计算出辐射功率密度;另一种是用射频电磁辐射仪,可以直接读出辐射功率密度.对实际运行的基站,两种方法的测量结果不一致,通过在实验室的反复实验,分析出这两种测量方法的特点,找到了测量结果不一致的原因.电磁辐射的测量不仅要了解测量方法的特点,还要了解辐射信号的特性,才能给出恰当的测试结论.

东胜长焰煤热解含氧官能团结构演化的13C-NMR和FT-IR分析

以东胜煤田色拉一号井田2号煤层长焰煤为研究对象,利用浮沉离心法富集其镜质组。基于工业分析、元素分析、¹³C-NMR、FT-IR、谱图分峰拟合技术和化学分析测试,求取镜煤及一系列热解煤含氧官能团结构与含量参数,从不同角度研究了含氧官能团的分布规律与演化特点。镜煤中羧基、羰基含量分别为8.91~10.90 mol/kg、1.61~1.79 mol/kg,随热解温度升高羧基显著减少。热解作用促使以端基形式连接在脂肪链或脂肪环结构氧上的甲基和亚甲基首先脱去,且在温度高于350 ℃后基本稳定。氧在热解过程赋存状态的变化是芳香体系与脂肪体系相互竞争的结果,510 ℃热解煤中芳香类氧和脂肪类氧的含量分别为7.49、3.45 mol/kg。羟基的演化过程与热解过程中氧的赋存状态密切相关。随着热解过程的进行,在热解温度低于440 ℃时,各种羟基含量均减少,热解过程对于大分子网络的破坏干扰了各种氢键作用,而羟基π作用则暂时增强,至510 ℃时各种氢键含量均降为最低。东胜长焰煤中含氧官能团化学活性顺序为:[COOH]>[R-O]>[Ar-O-Ar,Ar-O-C,C-O-C]>[C=O]。镜煤非活性醚键含量为0.68 mol/kg,活性醚键为0.48 mol/kg,主要为非活性醚键。

平面壁限制的高分子链末端距及其概率分布

The problem of polymer chains near an impenetrable plane is investigated by means of the probability method. It is shown that the 2kth moment of the reduced normal component of the end-to-end distance A2k only depends on the reduced distance to the plane of the first segment AZ0, here, A=l－ 1· , n is the chain length, l is the bond length and fixed to be unity, which can be expressed as A2k=f(AZ0). When AZ0≈ 0, A2k is the maximum(A2k=k!), then it decreases rapidly and soon reaches the minimum with the increase of AZ0, afterwards A2k goes up gradually and reaches the limit value [(2k－ 1)× (2k－ 3)× … × 1]/2k when AZ0 is large enough. Suggesting that the polymer chain can be significantly elongated for small Z0 and contracted for an intermediate range of Z0 due to the barrier. The distribution of the end-to-end distance also depends on the distance Z0 to the plane of the first segment.     

Influence of polypropylene topological structure evolution during melt branching reactive processing on its melt performances

Gel‐free long‐chain‐branched polypropylene (LCBPP) was prepared by the melt radical branching reaction in the presence of peroxide initiator 2,5‐dimethyl‐2,5‐di(tert‐butylperoxy) hexane peroxide, zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate, and trimethylolpropane triacrylate in a torque rheometer. It could be inferred that recombination between PP chains via radical coupled reaction took place and trimethylolpropane triacrylate was grafted onto PP backbone by the torque curves and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy results. The presence of long chain branches (LCB) for modified PP was verified by the gel permeation chromatography measurements and vGP plots. On the other hand, it was found that the topological structure of PP chains transformed from linear form to a long star‐like shape during the reaction progress, and the topological structure was directly determined by the radical reaction time. The topological structure of PP would further impact its melt behaviour. After complete melting of raw PP, “sparse and long” LCBPP firstly generated which possessed high melt strength owing to the increasing entanglement of long branching chains. And at the time corresponding to the summit of reaction peak on the torque curve, the modified LCBPP possess the highest melt strength owing to its long star topological structure. While as reaction time was prolonged, severe degradation of the LCBPPs would take place under too long mixing time and “dense and short” branches generated due to the residual radicals, with a sharp decline in melt strength.
