De minimis and equity in risk

Indices and orderings are developed for evaluating alternative strategies in the management of risk. They reflect the goals of reducing individual and collective risks, of increasing equity, and of assigning priority to the reduction and to the equity of high risks. Individual risk is defined as the (random or non-random) level of exposure to a danger. In particular the role of a lower negligibility level is investigated. A class of indices is proposed which involves two parameters, a negligibility level and a parameter of inequality aversion, and several interpretations of the indices are discussed. We provide a set of eight axioms which are necessary and sufficient for this class of indices, and we present an approach to deal with partial information on the parameters.     

A fast splitting procedure for classification trees

This paper provides a faster method to find the best split at each node when using the CART methodology. The predictability index is proposed as a splitting rule for growing the same classification tree as CART does when using the Gini index of heterogeneity as an impurity measure. A theorem is introduced to show a new property of the index : the for a given predictor has a value not lower than the for any split generated by the predictor. This property is used to make a substantial saving in the time required to generate a classification tree. Three simulation studies are presented in order to show the computational gain in terms of both the number of splits analysed at each node and the CPU time. The proposed splitting algorithm can prove computational efficiency in real data sets as shown in an example.

Early experiences of mentoring: Design and use of multimedia materials for teaching OR/MS

The MENTOR project, based at the University of Strathclyde, is producing multimedia computer based learning materials with the aim of improving both the effectiveness and the efficiency of teaching Operational Research/Management Science in higher education. The process of development has been carefully designed to encourage ownership of and commitment to the materials amongst lecturing staff in Universities, with the aim of ensuring widespread use. The paper outlines this process of development and design of materials. Experiences in introducing students to the use of these materials as an integrated part of a Management Science class are reported. Feedback from students has been very positive but also indicates the need for ongoing support and direction.     

An Exploration of “Superb Competences” in College Teachers in the Context of U-Learning

Ubiquitous learning (U-learning), a potential shortcut for China to modernize its education, is treated in this discussion as a mentality and means for citizens in high-tech society to seek a lifelong education. Thus situated, this article presents an exploration of “superb competences”—material intelligence, internet thinking, and brain-related neuro knowledge—in college teachers outside their trained professional areas. It is believed that once the teachers are equipped with the material intelligence, internet thinking, and brain-related neuro knowledge, real U-learning practice is ensured and its rationale will be developed. Material intelligence and internet thinking are evolved from and closely related to technological development, and therefore constitute the essential requirements of U-learning in terms of technical and educational cognitive framework. A good knowledge of brain related neuroscience, the third competence, guarantees the scientific rooting of every element in the designing of U-leaning tasks, whose success resides in a serious respect of cognitive nature and rules of the brain. The building of such superb competences, as is argued at the end of the paper, relies on various supports, like policies and technological aids, from all levels of educational administration in the country as well as each individual teacher’s personal understanding and efforts.     

面向储能的光伏微网成本评价与对策研究

微电网是智能电网的重要组成部分,可以有效协调区域内的电力资源。为研究面向储能的光伏微网电力成本变化情况和优化对策,基于微网多主体结构构建微网电力成本均衡模型,以微网内分布式光伏供应及用户电力需求的统计数据为主要输入对象,并设置变量来区分不同情景下的分布式可再生能源发电量,建立以时间为自变量的微网分布式电力收益函数和用户购电成本函数,刻画微网电力资源调度的动态均衡变化。基于微网电力资源调度实例,发现微网在并网情景下的购电成本小于储能情景下的购电成本（C并=2 033.6元C储=2 633.6元）,且储能情景下购电成本的22.8%都来自储能设施的日折旧费,因此,加大科技研发和增强微网协同管理可以降低微网成本。     

SO42-/TiO2催化合成乙酸乙酯的实验设计

SO4^2-／TiO2固体超强酸薄膜化催化剂能完全代替浓硫酸作催化剂,用乙酸、乙醇来合成乙酸乙酯。在膜催化器上,考察了薄膜化催化剂对乙醇和乙酸合成乙酸乙酯的催化性能。结果表明,薄膜化催化剂显著提高了催化活性;当n（乙醇）：n（乙酸）=1．5：1,原料流量3．0mL／h,在反应温度为110℃时,乙酸乙酯产率可达94．8％,且薄膜催化剂的处理很方便,催化剂再生后可重复使用,不污染环境。

人民币实际汇率波动与中国对美出口

运用协整方法对人民币实际汇率波动与中国对美出口的关系进行实证研究。结果表明：中国对美出口收入效应极强,中国对美出口汇率波动效应较弱,中国对美出口的价格效应不存在。在美国经济可能陷入衰退的情况下,中国政府应暂缓人民币升值和人民币汇率形成机制改革的步伐。
