The social profitability of rural roads in a small open economy: Do urban agglomeration economies matter?

The effects of a rural roads programme depend on labour mobility, how the programme is financed, and agglomeration economies. If financed by a rural poll tax and cross-price effects and agglomeration economies are sufficiently small, the wage will rise, with some return migration. Taxes on trade act as countervailing distortions, yielding urban households some relief. Rural-urban commuting promotes the exploitation of agglomeration economies; taxes on international trade are then inferior to a poll tax. The change in the value, at producer prices, of the rural sector's net supply vector can be a poor measure of the programme's social profitability.     

基于LBSN动态异构网络的时间感知兴趣点推荐

随着基于位置社交网络(Location-Based Social Network,LBSN)的快速发展,兴趣点(Point-Of-Interest,POI)推荐可以帮助人们发现有趣的并吸引人的位置。针对签到数据的稀疏性和用户兴趣的动态性等挑战性问题,提出了基于LBSN动态异构网络的时间感知兴趣点推荐算法。在LBSN异构网络模式中增加会话节点类型。通过动态元路径,在用户和兴趣点语义关系之间有效地融入时间信息、位置信息和社交信息等。设置了用户-兴趣点之间的动态元路径集,并提出了动态路径实例的偏好度计算方法。采用矩阵分解模型对不同动态偏好矩阵进行矩阵分解。根据不同动态元路径的用户特征矩阵和兴趣点特征矩阵,获取用户在目标时间访问兴趣点的推荐列表。实验结果表明,与其他兴趣点推荐方法相比,所提方法在兴趣点推荐精确度上取得了较好的推荐结果,具有良好的应用前景。     

基于乘数模型的山西省煤炭产业结构调整研究

本文通过编制山西省细化社会核算矩阵,利用乘数模型对山西省煤炭产业结构、煤炭产业和其他各个行业间的相互关系进行研究。通过乘数模型计算分解后发现煤炭产业的转移净效应和闭环净效应呈下降趋势,说明对山西省经济和对其他产业的拉动作用在下降,并且各个年度煤炭产业受到冲击后影响的产业是有差别的,经过结构化分析得出这些产业间影响的结构化路径,包括4条直接路径和3条间接路径。在此基础上,本文对山西省产业结构调整情况进行评价并提出政策建议。     

Sustainable supply chain management in Indian organisations: an empirical investigation

The present work is an attempt to investigate the adoption of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices amongst manufacturing and process based organisations in India and its impact on organisational performance encompassing all three dimensions of sustainability. SSCM practices conceived in the present study include environmental management practices (EMP), socially inclusive practices for employees (SPE), socially inclusive practices for community (SPC), operations practices (OP) and supply chain integration (SCI) which were treated as exogenous variables. Organisational performance considered in this study includes five dimensions, namely environmental performance (EPR), employee-centred social performance (ESP), community-centred social performance (CSP), operations performance (OPR) and competitiveness, which were regarded as endogenous variables. The analysis was carried out with the help of structural equation modelling considering natural logarithm of manpower as a control variable. Few major findings are mentioned. EMP does not have any significant association with OPR, nor does it result in competitiveness. However, when jointly mediated through both EPR and OPR, EMP leads to competitiveness. SPC has significant negative association with competitiveness, when only direct relationship is considered. However, indirect relationship between SPC and competitiveness shows significant positive association when mediated through CSP. The resultant total effect between SPC and competitiveness turns out to be insignificant. Further, OPR fully mediates the relationship between OP and competitiveness. Managerial implications of the findings are discussed.     

准噶尔盆地南缘四棵树地区中浅层砾岩层识别刻画

准噶尔盆地南缘中、下组合构造普遍位于中浅层砾岩层之下,砾岩层具有横向展布范围广且不规则、纵横向速度变化大等特点,严重制约中、下组合目标的精细落实。因此,搞清砾岩层结构及分布特征,对下伏构造形态和高点位置的准确落实尤为重要。结合微测井、钻井、测井资料以及地震剖面对准噶尔盆地南缘四棵树地区中浅层砾岩层结构特征进行分析,对低速和高速砾岩层的顶底界面进行识别刻画,并分区、分段建立了砾岩层时深关系曲线,用于指导深度域下组合构造成图和叠前深度偏移中浅层速度模型的建立。实例应用证明,南缘四棵树地区中浅层砾岩层识别刻画对准确落实构造目标,提高地震剖面成像品质至关重要,同样也可以在准噶尔盆地南缘其他类似地区进行推广应用。     

Developing English domestic occupancy profiles

ABSTRACT

Occupancy patterns are necessary to estimate energy demand and evaluate thermal comfort in households. Because of this, many European countries are developing representative domestic schedules to replace outdated criteria. This paper evaluates the state of knowledge of UK domestic occupancy patterns and develops new domestic occupancy profiles for England. The presented research (1) characterizes methods for collecting occupancy data and inferring patterns; (2) identifies and assesses the quality of categories of occupancy patterns used in building simulation; and (3) develops updated occupancy profiles. A systematic scoping review identified social and monitoring surveys as the most deployed data-collection methods. A systematic literature review also established that the occupancy categories most frequently used in UK building simulation are (a) a family with dependent children where the parents work full time; and (b) a retired elderly couple who spend most of their time indoors. The interview sample from the English Housing Survey 2014–15 was used to map household typologies. Results show that categories (a) and (b) combined amount to only 19% of England’s households, which suggest models are over-reliant on these groups. Considering this result, the paper develops occupancy patterns for England derived from 2015 UK Time Use Survey diaries for each household typology previously identified.     

基于子网模型的运营商移动存量用户保有方法

移动市场已进入存量发展模式,对运营商存量用户保有提出了更高的要求。不同于传统针对单个用户“合约式”的保有策略,本文在社会网络概念的基础上提出基于子网模型的用户保有方法。引出了通信子网、黏性子网概念,构建了同质性子网、异质性子网和易感节点模型,为运营商存量用户保有提供新的思路。     

Exploring the Impact of Social Networking on Communication in Organizations

ABSTRACT

Social networking technology has the potential to transform how organizations communicate, cooperate, and connect with key stakeholders. Our research explores how social networking technologies are deployed within organizations and how the use of these technologies is related to effectiveness in organizational communication and promotion. We also identify the facilitating factors and constraints around the use of social networking tools for communication. To examine these questions, we conducted interviews with 131 senior level executives across a broad range of organizations and employed both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. The executives were asked to rate numerically and then discuss in narrative form a series of questions about IT strategy and issues affecting social networking in their organization. We find important differences both in the types of tools used as well as how they are used and discuss the implications of our findings for companies seeking to more effectively harness social networking technologies.     

云南镇源难处理金精矿工艺矿物学研究

利用X射线衍射、X射线荧光光谱（XRF）、X射线能谱分析（EDX）和矿物解离分析（MLA）等检测手段对云南镇源难处理金精矿的化学组成、矿物组成、硫化物特征以及金的分布情况进行了详细的工艺矿物学研究。结果显示：该金矿以硫化矿、碳酸盐和硅酸盐类矿物为主，含有3.18%的有机碳和2.37%的无机碳。通过金的诊断浸出发现96.16%的金被硫化物包裹，少量金以单体形式存在。通过对主要载金矿物黄铁矿、辉锑矿和毒砂的粒度、包裹及裸露情况进行分析，得出大部分硫化矿以解离单体的形式存在，少部分与其他矿物共生。根据MLA测试及金的诊断浸出，认为大部分金被硫化矿完全包裹，处理该矿石时应先进行硫化物包裹层的氧化处理，再进行金矿的浸出。
