Customer entrepreneurship on digital platforms: Challenges and solutions for platform business models

Drawing on the mixed methods of qualitative research and agent‐based simulation, this study examines: (a) how end‐users use digital platforms to become customer–entrepreneurs undertaking commercial activities on platforms; and (b) how platform providers can convert this customer entrepreneurship into a revenue stream. Considering that end‐users have traditionally been defined as passive and uncharged actors in platform business models, an in‐depth understanding of their commercial activities and the viable revenue model to monetize this emerging customer practice is warranted. Our qualitative study reveals that customer–entrepreneurs make substantial use of platform offerings to advertise their products; communicate with end‐consumers; and accept payments. These commercial activities are largely exercised for free on platforms, even though they could otherwise serve as a source of revenue. On this point, our simulation results identify two pricing models achieving the generation of nearly identical revenues over time. First, platform providers may charge both advertising and transaction fees, which maximize the survival of professional customer–entrepreneurs. Second, platform businesses may levy advertising fees only, which maximizes the survival of informal customer–entrepreneurs operating on a micro‐scale and part‐time basis. This study offers theoretical, methodological, and managerial implications for platform studies.

多元QoS约束下电力通信无线资源分配的边缘代理调度方法

为满足不同配电通信业务的服务质量要求,BS需要在时变网络条件下实时优化无线资源。提出一种基于级联深度网络的接入网无线资源边缘代理调度方法,将时频资源和发射功率分配给延迟耐受度不同的业务。核心网采用网元功能与专用硬件设备解耦的软切片方法,在保证负荷在规定时长内可靠切除的同时,提高了核心网服务器对不同业务的时空间复用能力。仿真结果表明,多业务并列运行时RTU与协控子站间的接入时延与TD-LTE专网相比降低40.76%,相邻第一第二信道间的功率泄露比均高于45 dB,满足毫秒级负荷切除业务分路整组动作时延和通信可靠性的要求。     

冠脉造影图像血管增强及减影的优化方法

针对于传统X射线冠状动脉造影序列图像的血管的减影包含严重伪影以及减影结果不完整等问题,提出了冠脉造影图像血管增强以及减影优化的方法。基于冠脉造影序列图像的时空特性,将相同时相的图像匹配进行减影,得到初步减影结果。针对初步减影部分缺失,对有导管遮挡没有被识别的单根血管进行二次增强处理。增强方法为:运用区域生长确定被导管遮挡的血管部分,以此部分为基础按规定模板扩展,形成覆盖导管区域,区分血管和导管,改变两部分的灰度值,增大对比度。最后采用灰度线性变换、中值滤波等步骤,得到优化的冠脉血管减影。实验表明,本减影及优化方法可以从冠脉造影序列图中提取较为完整清晰的冠脉血管并且具有很好的可控性和鲁棒性。     

Importance of Low-Temperature Melt-Mixing on the Construction of Stereocomplex Crystallites with Superior Nucleation Efficiency in Asymmetric Poly(l-lactide)/Poly(d-lactide) Blends

The nucleation efficiency (NE) of stereocomplex crystallites (SCs) formed in asymmetric poly(L-lactide)/poly(D-lactide) (PLLA/PDLA) blends is generally unsatisfactory because the competition between stereocomplexation and chain mixing involved in the melt-mixing process can cause low formation efficiency and even severe aggregation of SCs. Herein, it is attempted to achieve high-efficient formation of finely dispersed SCs particles by designing a unique melt-mixing procedure, where the mixing of PLLA with 0.75 wt% PDLA is first performed at elevated temperatures (far above the melting temperature of SCs) to allow the homogeneous mixing of PLLA/PDLA chains and then at a low temperature (slightly above that of homocrystallites) to permit the full stereocomplexation of the premixed chains. It is found that the SCs formed in the blends exhibit unexpectedly low NEs (e.g., 54.5%), much inferior to that (73.6%) in the counterpart without undergoing premixing. This is because the introduction of premixing leads to a remarkable deterioration in the amount of SCs particles formed, despite decreased particle size, highlighting that the direct mixing at low temperatures of 170–180 °C (about 20–30 °C lower than that used in common melt-processing of PLA) is more effective for the construction of SCs with superior NE. The mechanisms for these striking findings are discussed.     

原材料对水泥砂浆性能的影响研究

水泥和砂的质量、引气剂的种类均会对水泥砂浆性能产生影响,其中水泥中高吸附性材料对制备的砂浆工作性能影响较大,需严格加以控制。不同引气剂的起泡、稳泡能力和气泡尺寸不同,对砂浆的稠度、分层度和强度会造成不同影响,采用摇泡试验可快速甑选出合适的引气剂。另外,砂的细度模数,甚至洁净程度（泥灰含量）和堆积密度也会对砂浆性能产生较大影响,在控制水泥的砂浆性能时,应验证并确保重新配制试验用砂的稳定性。
