The role of professional associations in shipping

This article is in three parts. The first covers the historical development of qualifying associations. The second covers the particular role of maritime institutions that include The Royal Institution of Naval Architects, The Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology and The Nautical Institute. The third and final section considers the future for maritime professional associations in the context of international shipping.     

签谱在海外的传播和影响

签谱作为俗文化具有强大的生命力,不但在中国民间广泛流传,而且在异国他乡传播.本文简要介绍签谱在日本、琉球、东南亚、美国等地的传播和影响;分析签谱在海外拥有广大信众的原因;认为签谱在海外的流传,延续着中国文化的一些传统;指出签谱在异国他乡传播时,受异文化的影响,形成了新的特色,我们在注意签谱的传承性的同时,也应该关注其在海外传播时所产生的变异性.     

专用汽车行业靠什么抑制产能过剩

2006年底,国家发改委发布了《关于汽车工业结构调整意见的通知》(以下简称《通知》),其中,为抑制专用汽车产能过剩的问题,对五种专用车产品以及生产这五种专用车的新企业采取了限制措施。《通知》发布后,国内很多专用车企业十分关心自己的产品是否在被限制之列,也有一些企业煞费苦心地设法使自己生产的被限产品能够进入《公告》。     

Estimation of origin‐destination matrices for a multimodal public transit network

This paper presents a procedure for the estimation of origin‐destination (O‐D) matrices for a multimodal public transit network. The system consists of a number of favored public transit modes that are obtained from a modal split process in a traditional four‐step transportation model. The demand of each favored mode is assigned to the multimodal network, which is comprised of a set of connected links of different public transit modes. An entropy maximization procedure is proposed to simultaneously estimate the O‐D demand matrices of all favored modes, which are consistent with target data sets such as the boarding counts and line segment flows that are observed directly in the network. A case study of the Hong Kong multimodal transit network is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.     

A traffic flow simulator for short‐term travel time forecasting

This paper presents an off‐line forecasting system for short‐term travel time forecasting. These forecasts are based on the historical traffic count data provided by detectors installed on Annual Traffic Census (ATC) stations in Hong Kong. A traffic flow simulator (TFS) is developed for short‐term travel time forecasting (in terms of offline forecasting), in which the variation of perceived travel time error and the fluctuations of origin‐destination (O‐D) demand are considered explicitly. On the basis of prior O‐D demand and partial updated detector data, the TFS can estimate the link travel times and flows for the whole network together with their variances and covariances. The short‐term travel time forecasting by O‐D pair can also be assessed and the O‐D matrix can be updated simultaneously. The application of the proposed off‐line forecasting system is illustrated by a numerical example in Hong Kong.

带有改编能力限制的编组计划优化模型及算法

本文用一个非线性０－１规模模型，来描述带有改编能力限制的技术直达列车编组计划问题。能力约束增加了该问题的计算难度。这是一个ＮＰＣ问题。因此，获得一个全局最优解是困难的。本文用模拟退火算法解该问题。该算法可以以很高的概率获得全局最优解。文末列出了两个数值例子，并分别同了考虑和不考虑改编能车约束两种情况下的计算结果。     

Analysis of Driver's Decelerating Strategy in a Car-following Situation

This report describes a decelerating driver-model expressed by driving mode transition in car-following situations. The assumptions for constructing the model are that decelerating strategy of a driver is classified into several simple driving modes and that a driver changs his driving modes based on his perceptible characteristics and experiential rules. Deceleration action is divided into three states; following, standing and braking, which are applied to the model. The model has two paths for driver's decelerating action, one of which is selected by the driver based on the perceptible characteristics and experiential rules. The suitability of the model has been experimentally verified.     

对上市公司募集资金使用低效的动因分析

上市公司募集资金的目的就是为解决公司资金短缺问题,为了更好的投资公司认为能为公司带来更高收益的项目,以提高公司市场价值。可现实并非如此,很多公司通过发行股票、金融债券等形式为公司募集了大量的资金,但在资金使用上显得并不那么高效。甚至有些公司把募集来的资金存入银行等而不用于项目投资,造成资金大量闲置浪费了社会资源。本文针对这些问题,从公司外部环境和公司内部管理两个方面,分析了造成募集资金使用效率低下的因素。
