Analysis of patient self-assessment visual analogue scales

The present paper describes an example of practical analysis of data from an application of visual analogue scales. Potentially useful and simple methods for analysing visual analogue scales are described for effective handling of complex data when the desire is to compare two or more groups of patients. Visual analogue scales were used to assess subjective tolerability in the International Prospective Primary Prevention Study in Hypertension, a large scale clinical trial. The methods are illustrated on the IPPPSH data.     

A hybrid model for selection of an outsourcing provider

Outsourcing is a good strategy for firms that need to reduce operating costs and improve competitiveness and it is important that firms scientifically select appropriate outsourcing providers. Some efforts have been made to find systematic ways to deal with outsourcing problems, but these efforts incorrectly assumed that the criteria used in the decision process are independent, which is not true in the real world. In this study, we propose a new hybrid multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) model, which addresses the dependent relationships between the various criteria. The relations-structure among the criteria is built with the aid of the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Decision-makers tend to hold diverse opinions about their preferences due to incomplete information and knowledge, or inherent conflict between various departments. We further used the fuzzy preference programming and the analytic network process (ANP) to form a model for the selection of partners for outsourcing providers. The proposed model can help practitioners improve their decision making process, especially when criteria are numerous and inter-related. The method is demonstrated using data from a Taiwanese airline.     

基于语言评价信息的知识资本要素识别方法

知识资本是组织创造价值和获取竞争优势的关键资源, 其要素通常具有复杂的关联性, 如何识别知识资本的核心要素、原因要素和结果要素,对于组织进行知识资本管理具有重要意义.本文在构建了知识资本要素识别体系的基础上,借鉴决策试验和评价实验室报告的思想提出了一种基于语言评价信息的知识资本要素识别方法,通过处理和集结专家针对知识资本要素关联给出的语言评价信息,对知识资本要素进行排序与归类.最后通过一个实例分析说明了该方法的应用, 并说明了如何根据识别结果制定相应的策略以便进行知识资本的投资和控制.

无穷伯努利试验中的一个连贯问题

利用概率的下连续性,我们定义了无穷伯努利试验中一个连贯问题的概率,进而我们用一个比较简单但在一般场合也可以应用的方法导出了这个概率的计算公式。     

On the summation of the Brillouin-Wigner type perturbation series

It is shown that if the ‘mean excitation energy’ assumption is introduced in the Brillouin-Wigner perturbation series, then the resulting series can be exactly summed. The implications of the result for calculating energy shift and for constructing trial functions are examined with special reference to the ground state of the helium atom.     

钢管混凝土拱—钢腹板PC箱型系梁组合桥梁

为减轻钢管混凝土拱梁组合体系桥的自重,提出了采用钢腹板(平钢腹板或波纹钢腹板)代替PC箱形系梁的混凝土腹板,从而形成钢腹板PC箱形系梁。以一座已建成的钢管混凝土拱梁组合体系桥为原桥,进行了钢腹板PC箱形系梁的试设计研究。结果表明,试设计桥由于减小了自重下的内力,降低了面内自振频率,从而改善了原桥的静力和抗震性能。此外,试设计桥经济性好且方便施工,说明钢管混凝土拱—钢腹板PC箱型系梁组合桥梁是可行的。     

利用语言评价信息识别关系资本关键要素的方法

在整合关系资本要素的基础上,借鉴决策试验和评价实验室(DEMATEL)方法的思想,对相关专家给出的关系资本要素关联性语言评价信息进行集结和处理.首先量化语言评价信息,建立要素直接影响评价矩阵,并对其规范化,然后求出要素间接影响评价矩阵,将二者求和即得到综合影响评价矩阵.根据综合影响评价矩阵计算关系资本要素的中心度和原因度,从而确定关系资本要素的排序和归类.最后通过案例说明了该方法的有效性.     

改革涉少家事案件审理模式

涉少家事案件由于其家事性特征和涉及未成年子女的特殊性,采用当事人主义模式可能激化当事人之间的冲突和矛盾,甚至刺激其制造虚假信息,混淆法官的判断力。而采用职权主义模式则更能为法官判断子女最大利益提供真实的信息支持,引入社工员的调查报告并建立起信息反馈机制,更符合涉少家事案件的家事性、未成年子女需要帮助性的特点。     

模糊限制语对庭审中不同语域的顺应

阐述了庭审语篇中模糊限制语研究现状及存在的问题,分析了庭审语篇中模糊限制语的类型,从语言顺应论的角度提出了一个分析庭审语篇中模糊限制语的模式,并在此模式下对不同庭审语域中模糊限制语的出现类型和频次进行了量化分析,指出在不同交际目的驱使下,庭审交际者会选择不同类型的模糊限制语来顺应不同庭审语域中各种相关的语境因素。
