Pricing ad slots with consecutive multi-unit demand

We consider the optimal pricing problem for a model of the rich media advertisement market, that has other related applications. Our model differs from traditional position auctions in that we consider buyers whose demand might be multiple consecutive slots, which is motivated by modeling buyers who may require these to display a large size ad. We study three major pricing mechanisms, the Bayesian pricing model, the maximum revenue market equilibrium model and an envy-free solution model. Under the Bayesian model, we design a polynomial-time computable truthful mechanism that optimizes the revenue. For the market equilibrium paradigm, we find a polynomial-time algorithm to obtain the maximum revenue market equilibrium solution. In the envy-free setting, an optimal solution is presented for the case where the buyers have the same demand for the number of consecutive slots. We present results of a simulation that compares the revenues from the above schemes.     

Shakedown analysis of circular plates using a yield criterion of the mean

Structural optimization based on the shakedown theory is a powerful and promising technique. However, due to the nonlinearities of physical materials and the number of variable loads in real structures, it is computationally complex and time-consuming. To simplify the occurring non-linear, non-convex optimization problems, the paper suggests reducing the number of yield conditions. The so-called a yield criterion of the mean (integral yield condition) is analysed and explained in detail, which allows taking into account one yield condition for the entire finite element instead of multiple point-wise conditions. This approach shows promising results in numerical application to the optimization of a circular plate, considering a possibility of employing the yield criteria of the mean or pointwise yield conditions in different areas of the plate in particular. The methods applied are based on the assumptions of perfect plasticity and small deformations.     

From software extensions to product lines of dataflow programs

Dataflow programs are widely used. Each program is a directed graph where nodes are computations and edges indicate the flow of data. In prior work, we reverse-engineered legacy dataflow programs by deriving their optimized implementations from a simple specification graph using graph transformations called refinements and optimizations. In MDE speak, our derivations were PIM-to-PSM mappings. In this paper, we show how extensions complement refinements, optimizations, and PIM-to-PSM derivations to make the process of reverse engineering complex legacy dataflow programs tractable. We explain how optional functionality in transformations can be encoded, thereby enabling us to encode product lines of transformations as well as product lines of dataflow programs. We describe the implementation of extensions in the \(\mathtt{ReFlO}\) tool and present two non-trivial case studies as evidence of our work’s generality.

爆炸冲击条件下的加速度传感器结构分析

针对加速度传感器在爆炸与冲击测试中的应用,从理论与有限元仿真出发,分析传感器结构的静态响应与冲击响应.在15.4×104gn的静态载荷下,传感器结构最大应力超过材料的许用应力,将会发生结构断裂.在静态载荷下,加速度传感器在15.4×104gn的冲击加速度载荷下结构最大应力超过材料的许用应力,将会发生结构断裂.在加速度传感器的工作方向上施加幅值为15×104gn,半周期为5μs、10μs、20μs、30μs、40μs的半正弦加速度冲击载荷.在幅值为15×104gn、半周期为30μs的冲击载荷下,传感器的固定端处应力为334MPa,将会使传感器断裂失效.在幅值为15×104gn、半周期为5μs、10μs、20μs的冲击载荷下,固定端处应力超过材料许用应力,将也会发生结构断裂.悬臂梁在半周期为5μs、10μs、20μs的冲击下,将会出现断裂.大体上,冲击载荷的周期越小,固定端的应力越大集中越严重.由于传感器固有周期为9.5μs,加速度传感器在半周期为10μs的冲击载荷下出现谐振,固定端处应力变大集中加剧.分析加速度传感器在冲击载荷下的结构响应为传感器的结构设计与具体应用时的可靠性分析提供了理论依据.     

Temporal and Spatial Distribution of Ulva.prolifera in the Yellow Sea and Influence of Typhoon “CHAN-HOM” in 2015

A recurrent floating green algae bloom was detected in the Yellow Sea since 2007.The Ulva.prolifera is non\|toxic,but the massive accumulations can result in significant environmental damage and cause economic loss to marine industries.In this study,the spatial and temporal patterns of Ulva.prolifera green tides were investigated in the Yellow Sea during 2015 using HJ\|1A/1B and MODIS satellite images by means of NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index)and artificial interpretation.The results showed：(1)A little Ulva.prolifera was discovered firstly in adjacent sea of Yancheng,Jiangsu province in early May with distribution area 0.831 km².Under the action of the southeast monsoon,Ulva.prolifera was gradually drifted to Shandong peninsula waters from south to north.The influential area and range reached a peak value with 1 752.756 km² in late June,and gradually subsided from July to August.And Ulva.prolifera about 38.791 km² was monitored in the South Bay of North Korea.In conclusion,Ulva.prolifera in the Yellow Sea in 2015 has experienced five major processes including “Occur\|Development\|Outbreak\|Recession\|Disappeared”.(2)Typhoon "CHAN\|HOM" certainly influenced the northward pathway of Ulva.prolifera and shifted towards the southwest,resulting in most of Ulva.prolifera moved to the east coast of Lianyungang,and speculated that minority Ulva.prolifera drifted to the South Bay of North Korea.(3)From the monitoring data,the spatial resolution between MODIS and ENVISAT (HJ\|1A / 1B)is difference significantly,250 m and 30 m respectively.A functional relation of the two data with monitoring area difference about 2.26 times was established to make up for the shortage of the environmental satellite (HJ\|1A/1B)images.      

Landsat-8长条带影像正射校正

目的 Landsat-8传感器采用线阵推扫式成像,通过分景处理获得标准景产品。面对大范围遥感数据需求,长条带数据具有更高的应用价值。长条带数据的一般获取方法是通过拼接标准景正射产品的方式,该方法处理效率不高,并且当条带中某景由于云覆盖量较多无法生产正射产品时,将无法通过多景拼接的方式生成相应的长条带正射产品。针对此方法存在的问题,本文提出一种Landsat-8长条带影像的正射校正方法。方法 以长条带影像为整体,通过控制点匹配、长条带几何精校正和正射校正3个部分,直接生成长条带级别的正射校正产品。在长条带几何精校正过程中,提出了Landsat-8的基于轨道约束的长条带平差模型及控制点优化选取方法。结果 在15景的条带长度范围内,本文方法生成的长条带正射产品的几何精度在12 m以内,满足Landsat-8正射产品的精度要求,且处理效率相较于标准景拼接方式提升1倍左右;对于云覆盖较多的景,利用连续3景进行长条带正射校正,可以得到与标准景正射产品几何精度相当的长条带正射产品。结论 本文提出的长条带处理方法,在一定长度范围内,能够得到满足Landsat-8正射产品的精度要求的长条带正射产品,处理效率得到较大提高,且能够有效克服传统方法中云覆盖情形对长条带产品获取的限制。
