Examining the Signaling Effect of E-tailers’ Return Policies

E-tailers normally have more accurate information regarding their products and services than consumers due to the nature of online transactions. To reduce consumers’ concerns of hidden information, e-tailers can use lenient return policies to attempt to signal high product and service quality. This research proposes a model to investigate the signaling effect of two components of return policy, return window—short return window vs. long return window and return depth—full refund vs. partial refund, on product quality and service quality. Data was collected using an online survey and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results show that both a long return window and a full refund signal high service quality, which then positively affects purchase intention. When it comes to product quality, return window does not have a signaling effect, while the signaling effect of return depth is moderated by service quality.     

我国两部制电价制度对天然气发电企业盈利能力的影响

上海、浙江和江苏等地陆续出台了两部制电价制度,以期解决天然气发电(以下简称气电)企业成本高、经营困难等问题。为了研究该电价制度对气电企业盈利能力的影响,在对比分析上述三地电价政策和实施效果的基础上,基于不同类型机组的三大经营指标(项目财务内部收益率、经济净现值、动态投资回收期),采用项目经济性分析模型探究了不同类型燃气电厂的经济性。研究结果表明:①现行两部制电价与单一制电价相比,电价水平小幅度下降,给企业经营带来了一定的冲击,但从长远看,则有利于形成可持续的发展机制;②两部制电价是各地政府经过充分调研和测算后根据该区具体情况制定的,在该政策下多数企业处于盈亏平衡点附近,综合条件优、管理水平高的企业能取得一定的盈利,反之则亏损;③当电量电价一定且大于盈亏平衡点时,企业效益随年利用小时数的增加而提升,反之则随年利用小时数的增加而降低。结论认为:①两部制电价能起到促进企业管理和技术水平提升,引导和鼓励电力投资的作用,符合我国电力体制改革的方向;②政策制定时应针对不同时期建成的项目加以区别对待,实现上网电价、天然气价格和供热蒸气价格的"三个联动";③应建立大数据平台,实行气网、电网联合调度;④发电企业应创新管理,降低电厂建设及维护成本,提升机组效率,降低气耗。

热泵空调制热模式缺少制冷剂运行状态研究及识别方法

本文对热泵空调在制热模式下缺少制冷剂的状态进行实验研究,发现在缺少制冷剂的状态下,压缩机的绕组温度会比制冷剂正常时偏高,压缩机回油也非常困难,导致压缩机长期在高温缺油的状态下运行,严重影响到压缩机的使用寿命。在研究的过程中发现缺少制冷剂时样机运行的状态参数与制冷剂正常时运行状态参数差异较大,可以通过运行状态参数的差异点对热泵空调缺少制冷剂的状态进行识别,从而避免压缩机在高温缺油的环境中运行。     

油纸绝缘变压器介质响应极化谱的探索与研究

基于扩展德拜模型,建立油纸绝缘变压器绝缘状态与介质响应等值电路之间的关系,并仿真分析模型(时间常数、支路数)改变引起回复电压特征参数和极化谱的变化规律。仿真分析结果表明,极化谱回复电压峰值与主时间常数可作为变压器绝缘诊断的判据,且时间常数不同的RC支路在回复电压极化谱的对应区段才有所影响。通过研究多台不同绝缘状态的变压器,总结出绝缘老化程度与支路数取值的内在联系,由此获取的等值参数最优,所建立模型与变压器实际状况相吻合,可作为油纸绝缘系统状态准确诊断和研究的基础。

关于L3业务双归配置方法的探讨

在LTE业务承载网的应用场景下,组网层次一般为三层,分别是接入、汇聚与核心层。基站业务自接入层设备引入,到核心汇聚点配置工作/保护路径实现 PTN 网络端到端的保护。业务在配置上主要采用双归保护的配置方式。那么实现双归配置的主要方法有两种:一种是TMPLS双归保护配置方式,另一种是MC-PW APS保护组配置方式。本文对两种保护方式的特性进行对比分析,并针对每种保护方式提出了适合的组网应用模型。     

Comparing alternative cellulosic biomass biorefining systems: Centralized versus distributed processing systems

This study explores how two different cellulosic ethanol production system configurations (distributed versus centralized processing) affect some aspects of the economic and environmental performance of cellulosic ethanol, measured as minimum ethanol selling price (MESP) and various environmental impact categories. The eco-efficiency indicator, which simultaneously accounts for economic and environmental features, is also calculated. The centralized configuration offers better economic performance for small-scale biorefineries, while the distributed configuration is economically superior for large-scale biorefineries. The MESP of the centralized configuration declines with increased biorefinery size up to a point and then rises due to the cost of trucking biomass to the biorefinery. In contrast, the MESP in the distributed configuration continuously declines with increasing biorefinery size due to the lower costs of railroad transportation and the greater economies of scale achieved at much larger biorefinery sizes, including biorefineries that reach the size of an average oil refinery—about 30,000 tons per day of feedstock. The centralized system yields lower environmental impacts for most impact categories than does the distributed system regardless of the biorefinery size. Eco-efficiency analysis shows that the centralized configuration is more sustainable for small-scale biorefineries, while the distributed configuration with railroad transport is more sustainable for large-scale biorefineries. Compared with gasoline from petroleum, cellulosic ethanol fuel offers sustainability advantages for the following environmental impact categories: fossil energy consumption, global warming, human health impacts by particulate matter, ozone layer depletion, ecotoxicity, human health cancer, and human health non-cancer, depending somewhat on the biorefinery sizes and the system configurations.
