从喻体和喻义看英汉比喻的文化差异

比喻性习语在英汉语言中大量存在,但由于两种语言反映的文化不同,使得英汉习语在比喻形象的运用上存在明显差异。文章介绍和比较了三种喻体在各自习语中的使用情况,并提出只有了解和掌握英汉比喻中的这种文化差异,才能在跨文化交际时准确无误地传递隐含在语言里的文化信息。     

隐喻的语义认知

过去隐喻只被看作是一种修辞手段 ,当代的隐喻学家提出隐喻不仅是语言自身的问题 ,而且广泛存在与人们的思维当中 ,可以说隐喻无处不在。本文就隐喻的多种表现形式 ,阐释隐喻的多种语义特征     

动态车辆路径问题排队模型分析

车用天然气储气技术

天然气用作汽车的代用燃料,具有储量丰富、价格便宜;辛烷值高、燃烧充分;低硫、低氮、无灰、环境污染少等优点。但是,目前的压缩天然气储气技术存在储气压力高、储气量小、续驶里程短等缺点,严重制约着天然气汽车应用领域的扩展。对5种车用天然气储气技术进行了分析讨论后,指出了吸附储存和近临界流体储存天然气技术在天然气汽车领域将有着广阔的应用前景。     

Flexible work planning of service agents with load balancing

This work emerged from the need to better plan the daily work of 29 travelling service agents, who provide 1090 services to 412 customers in 283 sites, on daily average. A handy and flexible tool was developed and is presented herein. A major contribution of this study is an explicit consideration of the multi-dimensional nature of the problem by the inclusion of workload balancing, which may stand in conflict to cost minimisation. Further, the geographical distribution of the demand is highly irregular. Therefore, two load measures are required and balanced. This required to fitting a proper planning scheme. The planning tool has been applied successfully by the commercial service provider. Improvements in the order of 20% and more were obtained in key performance measures. Moreover, cost reductions, service improvement and load balance were obtained simultaneously: the standard deviations of the service times and working day’s duration were reduced by 18 and 58%, respectively. This enables to reduce the number of agents with no significant harm in performance. Additional practical advantages of the proposed tool are also discussed and demonstrated, for example, the ability to cope with geographical distributions and the flexibility to respond to daily variations in demand.     

An evaluation of the tandem configuration automated guided vehicle system

The performance of a tandem automated guided vehicle (AGV) system is compared with that of conventional AGV track systems. In the tandem system the track is divided into non-overlapping, single-vehicle closed loops. Using simulation it is shown that, because of trips requiring delivery across loops, the tandem system has a higher expected travel time per load and thus a greater average time in system. When the loads are delivered within the original loop only, the tandem system has a lower average time in system than in conventional systems, although the difference is modest. Track layout appears to influence the average time in system much more than docs the dispatching rule invoked. The success of the tandem system is highly dependent on approximately even AGV utilization, which may be difficult to obtain in practice.
