An economic input-output analysis for urban stormwater quality planning

A new approach using input-output techniques is proposed for the analysis of urban stormwater pollution caused by urban land development. The input-output model provides projections of sectoral outputs within an urban region. By defining land as an input to production, these output projections may be translated into projections of commercial and industrial land development. Furthermore, the closed version of the input-output model is used to project residential land development as a function of projected wage income. The pollutant generation in urban stormwater is related to the quantity of each category of land development by a pollutant coefficient matrix. Thus, the model can be used to predict the impact of various economic growth scenarios on pollution loadings in runoff water. This will help planners in assessing the environmental costs of various scenarios, and in preparing for remedial actions. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the applications of the model.     

Should I scan my face? The influence of perceived value and trust on Chinese users’ intention to use facial recognition payment

While China has seen the widespread adoption of facial recognition payment, concerns over the potential risks impede the further growth of user acceptance. Drawing on the perspectives of perceived value and trust, we developed a research model to explore how the Chinese users’ trade-off between perceived benefits (perceived convenience and perceived novelty) and perceived risks (perceived privacy risk and perceived financial risk) influences their usage intention. Based on survey data from 1,200 Chinese mobile payment users, this study uses structural equation modeling to examine the hypotheses. Our results show that perceived convenience positively influences perceived value, while privacy risk and financial risk negatively influence perceived value and trust. Although perceived novelty has no significant effect on perceived value and trust, perceived value positively influences trust, and both of them have a positive effect on the intention to use. Furthermore, our moderation analysis indicates that the influence of perceived value on the intention to use is stronger among users who consider facial information to be more sensitive. The theoretical implications for research as well as the practical implications for practitioners are also discussed.     

基于改进小波变换的农村集体土地测绘图像高分辨率自适应重建方法

为提高农村集体土地测绘图像的分辨率,改进在重建图像的过程中发生的灰度偏移的情况,研究了基于改进小波变换的农村集体土地测绘图像高分辨率自适应重建方法。采集农村集体土地测绘图像,对差值处理后的测绘图像进行Haar小波变换,高分辨率重建测绘图像,校正图像灰度化偏移的同时保证重建测绘图像的质量;采用基于贝叶斯估计的自适应小波去噪方法,去除重建测绘图像噪声,使重建的高分辨率测绘图像更清晰。实验结果表明：PSNR值接近30dm,SSIM值接近1;不同噪声方差下,PSNR值最高。提高了重建测绘图像的清晰度和分辨率,得到高分辨率的农村集体土地测绘图像。     

基于UML活动图的用例识别

在面向对象的软件开发过程中,统一建模语言(unified modeling language, UML)的用例图用于捕获用户的需求.传统描述用例的方法一般是开发者根据自己的经验,从需求中人工获取用例.然而,如何自动生成准确的用例仍然是一个待解决的问题.本文提出了一种通过用UML活动图半自动生成用例的方法.首先通过引入形式化模型——统一结构来描述用例图与活动图,其次给出分解活动图的算法,然后根据分解活动图得到的依赖链生成对应的用例的事件流,从而得到用例模型,最后通过所开发的原型CASE工具进行案例的演示,验证了本文所提出的方法的可行性。     

A rear-end collision risk assessment model based on drivers’ collision avoidance process under influences of cell phone use and gender—A driving simulator based study

Driver’s collision avoidance performance has a direct link to the collision risk and crash severity. Previous studies demonstrated that the distracted driving, such as using a cell phone while driving, disrupted the driver’s performance on road. This study aimed to investigate the manner and extent to which cell phone use and driver’s gender affected driving performance and collision risk in a rear-end collision avoidance process. Forty-two licensed drivers completed the driving simulation experiment in three phone use conditions: no phone use, hands-free, and hand-held, in which the drivers drove in a car-following situation with potential rear-end collision risks caused by the leading vehicle’s sudden deceleration. Based on the experiment data, a rear-end collision risk assessment model was developed to assess the influence of cell phone use and driver’s gender. The cell phone use and driver’s gender were found to be significant factors that affected the braking performances in the rear-end collision avoidance process, including the brake reaction time, the deceleration adjusting time and the maximum deceleration rate. The minimum headway distance between the leading vehicle and the simulator during the rear-end collision avoidance process was the final output variable, which could be used to measure the rear-end collision risk and judge whether a collision occurred. The results showed that although cell phone use drivers took some compensatory behaviors in the collision avoidance process to reduce the mental workload, the collision risk in cell phone use conditions was still higher than that without the phone use. More importantly, the results proved that the hands-free condition did not eliminate the safety problem associated with distracted driving because it impaired the driving performance in the same way as much as the use of hand-held phones. In addition, the gender effect indicated that although female drivers had longer reaction time than male drivers in critical situation, they were more quickly in braking with larger maximum deceleration rate, and they tended to keep a larger safety margin with the leading vehicle compared to male drivers. The findings shed some light on the further development of advanced collision avoidance technologies and the targeted intervention strategies about cell phone use while driving.     

公有住房使用权收益价格评估

公有住房使用权价格评估是公房使用权有偿转让的基础性工作,但因我国的公房使用权有别于一般租赁产权,故房地产估价的常观收益法在此并不全然适用。文章在分析我国公房使用权特殊性的基础上,变通了既有的收益法估价公式,提出了确定相关技术参数的思路。作为讨论结果的具体应用,文章最后给出了一宗评估案例。
