Properties of gap-aggregate gradation asphalt mixture and permanent deformation

Aggregate of natural crush stone in hot mix asphalt is applied to gap gradation mixed with the AC-20 binder, in accordance with Marshall mix design. Laboratory tests were conducted, and the single-factor variance analysis (ANOVA) is employed to estimate the significance of the gradation mixture properties. Based on permanent deformation tests and analytical results, sieve of 2.36 mm may be omitted for nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) of 12.5 mm, and sieve of 4.75 mm may be omitted for NMAS of 19 mm, in the case of the shortage of aggregate.     

A transaction-based method for allocation of transmission grid cost and losses

The problem of grid cost and losses allocation may be divided into independent subproblems: allocation of branch flow and losses to transactions, definition of these transactions and cost allocation to transactions. From this final allocation, the charges to participants in transactions may be made straightforwardly. A differential, slack-invariant method for the allocation of flow and losses to transactions that makes use of the AC load flow equation is presented here. The definition of transactions must be addressed using a non-discriminatory rule in pool systems. There are many possible options for this definition, and the choice made has great influence on the results. Cost allocation, on the other hand, may be made in different ways, as well. The paper presents an allocation process that addresses all these issues. Results for the IEEE-RTS96 test system are obtained and discussed.     

Elastic and optical properties of BeS,BeSe and BeTe under pressure

We have performed the first principles full-potential linearized augmented plane wave calculations (FP-LAPW) with density functional theory in local density approximations (LDA), in aim to determine and to predict the pressure dependence of structural and optical properties of zinc-blende BeS, BeSe and BeTe compounds. The elastic constant, refractive index and its variation with hydrostatic pressure are well described.

Do different reputation systems provide consistent signals of seller quality: a canonical correlation investigation of Chinese C2C marketplaces

In recent years, consumer-to-consumer (C2C) marketplaces such as eBay and Taobao have adopted a component rating system, and run it simultaneously with but independent of a binary rating system. This paper investigates the extent to which binary rating and component rating systems are able to provide consistent signals of sellers?? quality, focusing on the reputation system design under the Chinese context. Using field data from Taobao, we performed canonical correlation analyses and found that the reputation signals of the two systems are generally correlated. As expected, negative and neutral ratings accurately reveal buyer dissatisfaction. Our results, however, show that positive ratings exhibit negative correlations with the three component ratings (i.e., item-as-described, customer service, and on-time delivery), suggesting that large numbers of positive ratings on Taobao may encourage trust in the platform but do not help to choose credible sellers. Our results elucidate the role of cultural difference in explaining the negative relationship in China and provide important implications for the design of reputation systems.

Novel one-step formed composite reinforcement of "Spider web like" SiCnw networks and "Z-pins like" SiC rods for ablation resistance improvement of C/C-ZrC-SiC

A novel composite reinforcement with horizontal multilayer "Spider web like" SiC nanowire networks and vertical interconnected "Z-pins like" SiC rods was designed and prepared by facile one-step figuration. The linear ablation rate of "Spider web like" SiC nanowire networks and "Z-pins like" SiC rods collectively reinforced C/C-ZrC-SiC composites at 2610 ± 20 ℃ was 0.4 ± 0.03 μm/s with a 74.19 % reduction. The improved ablation resistance was attributed to a denser gradient oxide layer composed of central ZrO₂ layer, transitional ZrO₂-SiO₂ layer and marginal SiO₂ layer generated under the initial sticky net effect from SiCnw networks and subsequent oxide compensation from "Z-pins like" SiC rods.     

利率政策对西安房价影响的有效性分析

由于经济发展水平不同,居民购买力水平不同,货币政策调控对不同地区房价的有效性也存在差异,需要根据不同地区的特点进行分析.以西安市房价变化为例,选取2003~2007年的数据,分析利率政策调控对西安房价影响的有效性并进行了实证检验,发现利率政策实施对西安市房地产价格的影响非常有限,2003~2007年的利率政策调控并没有达到预期效果,只是使市场发生了轻微变动.为此,提出了提高利率、提升地方政府公共服务能力等相关的政策建议.     

求解缓变波导中反问题的一种步进方法

对于声学和电磁学中的大尺度反问题,基于直接方法(例如有限元或者无网格方法)的数值计算往往会导致一个巨大的线性系统,因而在计算速度和存储上并不现实.基于求解Helmholtz方程正问题的Dirichlet-to-Neuman(DtN)算子步进方法,提出了一种用于求解波在大尺度缓变波导中传播的反问题的反向基本解算子步进方法(IFOMM).
