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.     

Towards a theoretical framework of strategic decision, supporting capability and information sharing under the context of Internet of Things

The effective strategy of Internet of Things (IoT) can help firms to grasp the emerging opportunities from the IoT and then improve their competitive advantage. In this article, based on organizational capability perspective, we provide a theoretical framework which classifies IoT strategies into four archetypes from two dimensions of managers’ strategic intent and industrial driving force, and propose that market-based exploratory capabilities play a more important role for firms adopting get-ahead strategy, and market-based exploitative capabilities play a more important role for firms adopting catch-up strategy in market. The technology-based exploratory capabilities play a more important role for firms adopting get-ahead strategy in technology, and technology-based exploitative capabilities play a more important role for firms adopting catch-up strategy in technology. Especially, external industry information sharing more efficiently contributes to the enhancement of both market-based and technology-based exploratory capabilities, and internal industry information sharing more efficiently contributes to the enhancement of both market-based and technology-based exploitative capabilities.     

曝光数据流优化问题的蒙特卡罗算法

集成工艺中控制图形发生器产生掩模图形的数据流文件的数据排列顺序优化,是一个其结点数可达数千个之多的大规模旅行商问题(从镜头架的位置,即每个矩形的矩心为结点),常规算法早已不适用。本文采用多阶段蒙特卡罗算法并加以改进,补充了“分层优化模式”,邻接结点的预合并和在各个阶段末提取共同子路径并删去相关结点等一系列逐步缩小问题规模的措施,形成了一个实用的优化算法。相应的软件已成功地应用于薄膜磁头的数据流文件的优化。

ON THE CALCULATION OF DRIVING FORCE FOR MARTENSITE TRANSFORMATION AND M_s IN Fe-Ni-C ALLOYS

选取了三种不同的热力学模型,(1)LFG模型;(2)徐祖耀三元系规则溶液模型;(3)本文处理方法(Fisher-徐模型加Zener参数),计算了Fe-Ni-C合金马氏体相变驱动力,求得马氏体相变驱动力与奥氏体在Ms温度的固溶强化呈线性关系:△G~(a→)M=Aσ_(0.2)(Ms)+908J/mol,对不同模型选取系数A’略有差异.利用所导出的奥氏体在Ms温度时的屈服强度,计算了Fe-Ni-C合金的MS温度,计算结果与以往的实验值符合得很好。     

DIFFUSION OF CARBON DURING FORMATION OF LOW-CARBON MARTENSITE (Continued)

计算得到低碳马氏体形成时使残余奥氏体富碳所需扩散的时间约为7×10~(-3)—3×10~(-4)s。与条状马氏体形成的时间——10~(-3)—10~(-6)s比较,可见碳的扩散跟得上或稍落后于马氏体条的形成。残余奥氏体均匀富碳的时间落后于马氏体条的形成至少达1个数量级。这些表明低碳马氏体形成时可能存在碳的扩散,但后者不是马氏体相变的主要或必需过程。若低碳马氏体按上贝氏体形式长大,则计算所得其长大速率仅3×10~(-4)cm/s,比现有实验数据至少低2个数量级。本文工作再次证明低碳马氏体的形成机制和上贝氏体的不同。
